one of the most radicalising things about living through these radical times is just how bad these men are at basic business. every AI grifter can see the production savings, but can't take one more step and see there is zero audience for this shit.
Ah ofc, I did like Luka and Carol 🩷
Was this the ep with the Hamlet monologue and Carter being a dick? Can't remember if they repeated the backstory.
it’s kinda worth saying that the lionisation of churchill as a historical figure had to be done very deliberately, cos a lot of people really fuckin hated him right from the start. a lot of the stuff that’s now received-wisdom ‘british culture’ is just shit we had rammed down our throats
They want you to surrender your intellectual capacity so they can rent it back to you. It is psychotic
Learned to code at 35.
Entered games industry at 39.
Only just getting started 😁
Dentistry first, though.
You'd think there was a limit to the number of interesting shapes a new paperback could arrive in, but you'd be wrong.
It's a tangent, but I gathered business cards at a game conf that neither named the game or the studio.
I've been browsing 'local' gym websites that didn't tell me which region, or even country, the gym was in.
Help me give you money!
Not a single person has yet been able to answer my fundamental question about AI “writing”: why would someone want to play a game that nobody even bothered to write?
Where's the game? Big ol' monitor showing the game made in minutes. Can't see those sweet graphics on that teeny monitor there.
You don't learn anything from something that shows an impression of an answer.
Books were, and continue to be, available.
... why, though? I know Excel and rudimentary tools get a gasp, but Blueprints is like... It's what it's for, no?
I thought it was shocking when a game hung together via Excel? Blueprints seems like a step up from that...
do you even hear yourself
Only if you don't understand what NPC dialogue is for.
I am baffled. They're pretending to be Brit. They read a tweet about Platty Joobs and someone chatgpt'd a graph going up.
There's a whimsical tale on the back about how this was a family joke between an elderly aunt and a child, entirely made up in a boardroom by suits.
Is this British? If it's British we are so over this shit, anyone who comes out sounding like an Innocent smoothie crossed with Brewdog is viewed with instant suspicion. Shunned like the 'holibobs' tribe.
If it's American... Enjoy the next 5 years of baby-talking foodstuffs wanting to be fwends.
And do your part by refraining from "smell-this activism."
"Did you see this awful thing this awful man said? Here, look. Isn't it awful? Isn't he awful?"
...Why are you doing that?
Why are you the free street team for the worst people online? Why are you signal-boosting misery?
Don't do that.
(they could also be completely bonkers, though, I mean I have a Dutch flag with a mulleted waif on the wall here.)
My daughter and her friends are into Käärijä, Joost Klein and Tommy Cash. Seems that fun and silliness helps!
I've been asking my daughter to consider writing a post of some kind about the 'AI reading app' she's forced to use. It frequently claims she reads its gibberish too quickly, and locks her out.
However, she's found this triggers email notifications to teachers. Her record's around 217 emails...
It should be like our National Service. Force everyone to do a year of night shifts at the local Tesco Express.
I got the job because two staff members had just quit after being robbed at gunpoint.
Which one? Now I wanna block it
I'm reminded of the behind-the-scenes video clip from the Disney team after they sketched out Flynn Ryder - then got the women of the studio in to iterate on him. The final design was the result of that, not the neckless muscle-head the original designs seemed to show they were going for.

A really good piece here from Danielle Turton on recreation of historical accents and why the choices of accents and features matter, especially when they're 'regional' rather than RP.
Thanks! I hopped on board at the book announcement but had missed the initial event - and damn, how great that this now exists in shiny bound response to it :)
Damn, what happened?
