Please stop saying that AI is 'the next internet'. It is an argument with no substance at all and makes you look ridiculous.

The moment anyone says that, I can replace every time they said 'AI' with:
1. 'VR' for 2013
2. 'Crypto' for 2016
3. 'Web3' for 2019
4. 'Metaverse' for 2020
5. 'NFT' for 2021

Hopkinson's Plantation, Edisto Island (SC) Henry P. Moore (1835-1911) albumen print, 1862 Slavery was the most important issue fought over during the American Civil War of 1861-1865: the Northern states wanted to abolish slavery, while the Southern states fought to retain it. Yet few photographs were taken of enslaved people and the plantations where they laboured. This photograph by Henry Moore is one of the few exceptions. It captures workers on a plantation in South Carolina posing shortly after their 'owner' had fled.

The photo, with folks spread around the image, and a horse cart in the center

“Slavery was the most important issue fought over during the American Civil War of 1861-1865: the Northern states wanted to abolish slavery, while the Southern states fought to retain it.”

Glad to see the Rijksmuseum in The Netherlands doesn’t screw around.

Heh, bet 😼

I am actively dying just heading to work 😭

YouTube video by Game Developers Conference Keeping Level Designers in the Zone Through Level Editor Design

My GDC 2016 talk is live again!! It suddenly went unlinked sometime in the past.

GDC brought it back, thank you!

So much of this talk is still relevant for game editors & engines nowadays: Comparing and contrasting workflows, to keep your level designers in the zone:

A dumbo rat with big sad eyes, captioned, "RATS." Text: Dude, if I don't see my bros in like 2 hours I'm gonna be cowabummed out...

An illustration of a fancy mouse with white patches, captioned "MICE." Text: If I see another man in my house I will slit him open from mouth to anus and wear him like a jacket.

Hope to see many of you Benelux game devs here, and come catch my talk on Wednesday about how you shouldn’t be writing 40 pages of documentation on Confluence, because you can better document in-game!
