All Centrists are just ashamed Conservatives with a coat of paint. They exist to occupy the space a real left-wing Progressive candidate would be, they are a second Conservative selling you restraint and temperament to prevent you spoiling the good thing they got going when you notice and get mad.

The book is fantastic mine arrived last week. Random place to ask but I was wondering if y'all were planning on a reprint run of Volume 1 at some point. Unfortunately I discovered the book series late so only have Volume 2 & 3 and haven't been able to find Vol 1 hardcover

Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI' The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

What I’m hearing: large open source projects are being absolutely hammered by AI-generated security reports. To the point of not being able to handle them.

Feeling is lots of ppl want an easy way to put a CVE on their CV and collect $$ for bug bounty.

Super bad for maintainers

Sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for CEOs to be scored, Metacritic-style, based on how others evaluate how they run a company. I like to imagine it would encourage more restraint. Their incompetence does real damage. You shouldn't have to suffer executives just because you want to be a gamedev.

This shows up in everyday dynamics too. Whose ideas get heard, who’s assumed competent, who has to β€œprove” themselves, and who gets grace when they mess up.

my only sappy thing to say about GDQ is that the last however many years have tried their best to convince the world that ppl like me should not exist and sometimes you wonder if we really are on a downfall but GDQ comes around saying trans rights all day all week raising millions and millions

GDQ not only heals me every year, it overcharges me. every donation saying trans rights, the minority event-to-main stage pipeline, the unbridled joy and wide open arms of the community and everyone watching β€” this is what _my_ gaming community looks like and this is who i make games for
