Ai art sucks for many reasons but its ubiquitousness is the one that gets me. No art director worth their salt would ever specify a style that generic and un-ownable. Yeah, you might have saved some money, but you’ve also torpedoed your chance at being memorable.

Ooh, great team there. Looking forward to it

Congratulations! That's amazing news - I hope it is a huge hit for you

Okay!! The publisher has given me the green light to make the

I worked on an IP-based social deduction game coming out next year!!!!!! And not only that—but it’s based on the Netflix show Wednesday!!! 🦇💀

Cover reveal coming in the future!! 🎲✂️

I'm assuming it's some sort of common room or other space for batmen to rest, hang out, iron shirts, or whatever, while their bosses are doing Very Important Things. Or maybe a bunkroom. But that would be boring, there should be bizarre human-animal hybrid creatures in there.

I've never had a queer or trans person shove their "lifestyle" down my throat.
I have had AI shoved at me at every fucking turn and I do not like that.

Wow, that was a ride!

Ah, no, couldn't have been 9 or 2. 9 would give you nothing in the box and 2 would give you 8. My brain isn't functioning right now. 😅

Turnup was a 9 or 2, I assume?
I think I would have dumped 9,4 leaving 4432 as a fly-catcher hand.

That's awesome, thank you so much. I tend to work in Screentop.gg, so that's where there's likely to be a version if I (re) build one.

That's really good to hear, thank you. At the moment I'm focusing on in-person, on a table playtesting as that tends to be most productive for me.

Well worth a follow back if their content is always that good

A prototype game, with assorted cards, many overlapped with each other, plus dice and a few other tokens

Heh! Finally got around to rebuilding my cooperative game, Sympolis, and giving it a quick, 2-player-solo-test. The problem before was that it was too easy. This time, I lost on turn 2! With a planned tweak I would have lasted a couple more, maybe longer if I was smarter! 🎲✂️

Thank you, Chicago.

I see your problem there. You need to both suck and blow. Turns out I both suck and blow at other instruments too, though.

Planning is important. Especially when that planning is for breakfast.

For the sake of clarity, is it ok to have a second schnitzel, but not eat all of it?

YouTube video by Matthew Dunstan How to level up as a game designer

In today's video I talk about ways to level up as a game designer - practices I have seen in other designers and myself as they become more experienced and improve their craft. Hopefully useful whether you're just starting out, or reflecting on how far you have come!

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

Did a new one

Cannot generate simple excel files on pro version Question So I have used ChatGPT pro for a while now and recently I have been facing an issue while trying to collate data from pdfs and put it in an excel sheet where in my chat it keeps asking me questions when it finally gets down to generating an excel sheet it never gives me the me the link to download the file. After multiple attempts when it does give me a lin k to download the excel file I rec an error which says file not found. Starting to grow frustrated with this now. Look forward to any suggestions to tackle this #problem

This person is paying OpenAI two hundred dollars a month to have a chatbot gaslight them about making an excel spreadsheet

Tap the sign meme saying “Using AI ironically is still using AI.”

Don’t make me tap the sign.

Can I have one left and one right because that's how my feet are?

A really cool little case study into a game design process...

The teacher should be fired. They've demonstrated that they are not competent as an educator.

Plus, using AI slop to try and make a point about conserving the environment is just adding insult to injury.

Some discussion in replies about cock-up vs conspiracy explanations.

So, fwiw, here is how I approach this as a law and policy commentator looking at law and policy messes.

And I have looked at many.

YouTube video by Matthew Dunstan The reality of being a full time game designer

Today's video was a hard one for me to make - I wanted to talk about my experiences going through burnout in the last year or so as a game designer, and aspects of the wider tabletop industry that contribute to that.

Congratulations! Of course, it does mean that the cabal diagram gets more complicated now 🤣

Great quote from a great long-read comic about + against AI art
