Este es el punto, realmente se puede aplicar esta misma lógica de "realmente estoy haciendo esto mal?" a muchísimos aspectos en la vida cotidiana: transporte, pedidos online, alimentos, ropa... Incluso el estar aportando con nuestra plusvalía al sistema dejando que el poderoso se enriquezca con ella

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

So I was in Paris this week as Ubisoft invited me to check out their new generative AI tech demo.

Chris gives a really good breakdown of the experience, and I'll be talking about it in next weeks @aiandgames.com newsletter as well.

Last week the venerable @georgeosborn.bsky.social reached out with a question submitted to this @vgim.bsky.social newsletter regarding the ethical issues surrounding the use of AI in Arc Raiders.

What started as a short one paragraph response became a 4000+ word newsletter issue.

Podrias compartir la lista por curiosidad? :)

Por daros detalles, Virtual Toys cerró, pero no cerró realmente. Cuando cerró, Saber Interactive compró la plantilla entera de gente y la mayoría pudo volver.

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

"why are games so expensive"
"why are mass layoffs happening"
"why are games getting cancelled"
"why did that popular studio close"

it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.

The bus becomes a train and shits out a ladder. This is art

No pasa nada muy distinto en las empresas vecinas de Madrid, parece casi el esquema básico de gestión laboral por parte de la directiva. Miedo, humillación, orgullo y ego como metodología de control

Happy Friday everybody! I don't know why, but I feel like spilling the tea this morning, so here are some hard truths about the game industry. A lot of people who got into the industry early were terrible game developers. This shouldn't surprise people, but we used to look at numbers in the early 00's like half of all people rolling out of the game industry in the first three years as though all of those people were qualified. Hiring in this industry has almost always been untrained amateurs looking for people they like and who remind them of people they know. Most interviewers decide in the first five minutes whether they think you're worth hiring. Even the people who get training in how to interview almost never get coaching on how they do it, or real feedback on the success of their techniques. As a result, a lot of people walked in the door unqualified to do the job they were hired to do. Some of them survived for multiple cycles. Some of those were even promoted to leadership positions. There was a lot of nepotism involved - if you were friends with / had worked with the head of studio, department director, etc., then you were a known quantity and better than having to go out and find someone. Combine this with the prestige halo that comes from branding, and you have real problems. People tend to ascribe god-like powers to successful game studios - EA back in its heyday, Blizzard, BioWare. People who worked on hit games at big / known studios carried a ton of prestige - regardless of what they actually did. It's easy to say "I worked at Blizzard", and what that meant was not that you were part and parcel of the magic that made those games awesome, but simply that you were employed there; it takes hundreds, if not thousands, of people to make AAA games, and I promise you that inside every large, successful studio, there is a cadre of fuck-ups that no one has the heart, willpower, or political pull to get rid of. I've fired people with over a decade of expe…

probably the realest thing ive ever seen posted on that website

Been thinking about this moment from a Bug's Life lately.

Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

París ha naturalizado la plaza del ayuntamiento y la ha convertido en un bosque urbano.

¿Cómo? Con voluntad política y elevando el suelo para dar espacio a las raíces de los árboles.

Me salen casas para comprar en las zonas que llevo 1 año mirando por Madrid que ahora que valen +50k euros mínimo de lo que valían el año pasado, esto no tiene ni sentido ya, es desesperante, la capacidad de ahorro es mas lenta que la velocidad a la que suben los precios

if you wanna make video games as a career you have to enjoy the process of making video games. its not enough to just enjoy the end result. same goes for most types of creative works

I think we should use Fibonacci years to track our age. E.g. F7 is the era from age 21-34. Because time feels faster as you age the gap between each F feels the same. Assign bucket list items to each F, etc.

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89
