Oh cool, indentured servitude. Legally recognised throughout the democratic world as a form of unfree labour aka slavery. Also literally how the people traffickers that this legislation is supposedly meant to stop imprison their victims.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

That man is a nobody. Even worse, he's a pedophile! It's not like he's a self-made man. He didn't even acquire anything being good at crime. Everything was just handed to him. He's not smart. He's not funny. He's not skilled. He's not attractive. Why are we putting mics and cameras on these people?

I believe in the power of love but I would like to stop hearing about Olivia Nuzzi generally

Donate to Diana to ensure that Zohran's successor is a committed socialist!

We should be calling out the huge blindspots to international games in English games media, but we should also not ignore the fact that with video games we are already pretty damn global, especially compared to, say, the Oscars.

This is not all the way there but it's a decent start!

At least the 2008 crash was about a bet that housing would never decline. The next one will be about betting that six companies who sell each other magic beans would never decline

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

“He desired. He desired desiring. He desired being desired. He desired desire itself.”

I am never feeling bad about the quality of my writing ever again

I've always been saying that the average gamer yearns for Tri-Ace. They just don't realize it.

Hey I just got a headline alert that it’s apparently a TikTok trend to take high doses of Benadryl. Please don’t do that, that’s really dangerous

Never forget the all-time greatest placeholder asset, from Doom 64

Chi Ossé files paperwork to challenge Hakeem Jeffries from the left The NYC City Council member said in a statement that Democratic leadership is "failing to effectively fight back against Donald Trump."

NEW: Chi Ossé, an ally of Mamdani, has filed paperwork to challenge Jeffries from the left.

This is bullshit.

"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.

"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

illustration of 5 small cute brown bears in matching green sweaters holding a large balloon of a bear wearing a santa hat. the back three bears are having trouble keeping the balloon down, with one bear completely off the ground. there is confetti raining down from the sky, which looks cloudy. under the illustration are the words "the parade started with a big balloon..."

the parade is starting!

When they crash the economy again I'll be wearing a barrel with suspenders but I'll still be doing the Nelson Muntz Ha-Ha at all the wise business guys

incredible that for big companies, this is gonna be considered the 'uncompromising take'

Ever since someone on here brought up the fact that the media literally just interviews rich people to get their thoughts on random shit, even though there’s absolutely no need to do that, it’s all that I can see everywhere

My hands are still injured & I’m dealing with other health complications. I can’t post (everything you see is scheduled) or open DMs. I can answer a couple texts a day at most, and emails are very slow / limited to my research partner.

Thank you for understanding. Quoting to pin:

BREAKING: CAIR, Kapitan Gomaa Law, and Hawks Quindel are suing the University of Kentucky and the Department of Education for punishing tenured Professor Ramsi Woodcock over his criticism of Israel. tinyurl.com/4prfvev9

speaking entirely for myself, but someone who is preeminently qualified to speak about LLMs (I have used them for over a decade) and how games are sold (13 years of doing that):

it costs more resources to convince people the benefits of your game using AI than the money you'd "save" using AI

The war took my home, my classroom, and my childhood. But it didn’t take my hope. I’m Hamza from Gaza, dreaming to become a pediatric doctor. Please donate, even small help brings me closer to protecting my parents. 💔🙏

They're turning on the Pope.

That can't be a winning position with building a wider coalition outside their Evangelical Extremist base...

god dude I'm so fucked up about this girl, better email my friend who owns Sex Crime Island: The Island Where You Can Do Any Crime

I would love to see malicious compliance with "we can't serve masked men. How do I know you're not here to rob me? That is what you were complaining about for the last 5 years about how you can't breathe with a mask on? That's why we lost mask mandates right?"

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a teacher who fucks a minor student should be on a sex offender registry for life.

I would add only this: you are a masterpiece, too. God didn’t get it wrong.
