Overheard in a book shop: "Wuthering Heights? No way that's an actual book."

I have had my work passed off as someone else's or used without permission many times before - it is never simple.

At certain times, the repetitious campaigning and grandstanding is mega helpful and at other times it is counterproductive.

Trying to collapse every conversation about Marathon into a ritualistic performance of who can shout "Bungie stole art" the loudest does more harm than good to artists in general.

If it's so nuanced that you need to speculate on the exact content of a legal settlement doesn't it then deserve its own context? Doesn't this become unworkable for you if you miss any comment anyone makes about the game for the rest of time?

Not every single context needs to be collapsed into a litany of grievances? I thought the artist in question made a statement saying the issue was resolved to their satisfaction.

📆 ON THIS DAY in 2006 • 20 years ago! 😮 @8bitpeoples.bsky.social releases Information Chase, 6 mp3s of chiptune powerpop. It's since come out on CD & vinyl, & I've performed its songs to audiences who have loudly sung along, despite there being no words. What could be more heartwarming than that? 🙏

Final day! Final pitch to those on the fence: We've successfully delivered 6 KS projects previously. ABIDE is fresh, for horror and for games. It is mature and well researched. It is brutal. Stop motion but also a proper game. We aim to be generous and to entertain with our games.

It's important to audit everything the second it's mentioned in any context

Marathon is stunningly cool but I just want it to be a single player shooter because I'm old

Trying to replace game journalists with AI is one of the single most stupid uses of the technology I've seen and that is a hotly contested category.

The entire point of written games journalism is the expression of a subjective human perspective: that is the value; that is the purpose.

I released my first commercial game at age 30. This is a lame take.

Hmm have they done the classic "we consulted everyone" without actually talking to any indies again? That's rapidly becoming one of my biggest annoyances for this kind of thing

Still 3 days left if you want to be a part of our unique KickStarter. Extra funds will give us freedom to experiment and afford more materials. We have ideas that we'd love to explore but I'm not a fan of promising stretch goals when more interesting things can arise organically through development.

If big tech wants full AI adoption, they will need to design an AI that persuades ops people in non-technical sectors to stop running absolutely every system from a Google Sheet. This task has so far proven impossible for humanity.
