Camels in Qud are like Runequest's fucking aardvarks.

(Also, for anyone assuming Tencent = China and therefore evil, note that Xi is not fond of them because while they were successful and made a LOT of money, they didn't ask the party's permission or receive their help and therefore owe XI nothing - which is not liked by Xi.)

If the US government can force Tencent to divest its shares in US games companies, why can't we make Thames Water fuck off without paying them Β£84 billion for wrecking our environment?

Dammit, this is what happens when you get old.
I have taken some learning from your post. They will synergise well with my bingo card.

Apparently, those who were not friends to Genesis P. Orridge mostly called him Exodus K. Ornflakes.

Absolutely amazing! And that first image could have been art for Everwild, it really captures that vibe.

Got to love the days when your feed just drops a string of really amazing, characterful art straight into your eyes.

This character is just so attention grabbing. I scrolled, saw it, immediately wanted to know more about it. That's good art, if you ask me.

Oh my gods, that's exquisite! The colour choices are so original, but they work so well!

Yesterday, I received a JIRA ticket for my character to do something in our RPG campaign.

I was not amused.

I think managers must lose many more to be willing to say things like that.

Cinemas in games - the amount of eye damage I've taken using a magnifying glass to read the hilariously obscene stuff in the small print.

I don't have the bandwidth for collaborative values right now. Lots of challenges we need you to rise to. Shall we pitch for some face time next week?

(Did anyone get Bingo off that?)

AI in the games industry should be doing the things we can't, like (with permission) watching a player's expression through their camera so that it can see when they're getting bored and trigger an event that they'll like off the drama curve.

Instead, it's doing stuff we can do better than it.

Ohhh that's a pretty boy right there! His coat's looking very chocolatey - has he been sunbathing?

That's actually worse than when the Tory HQ rebranded itself as a fake fact checker. It's like they're *trying* to get themselves kicked out of office.

It's amazing that a Labour right apparatchik like Lucy Powell, firmly committed to the third way privatisation of her dying party, seems unable to stop being publicly owned.

And don't even get me started on the UK's new consumer rights laws which were mostly great, but the elderly people who make the laws didn't know about Early Access or, apparently, that games don't come on discs any more.

Clearly your cat doesn't have a rule about "Always point the anus at the camera". Mine does :(

The important thing about horses and carriages is that AI can't draw them without merging the horse into the carriage itself in an horrific Enlightenment version of Tetsuo, while the driver sits atop the horse instead of on the carriage, and they're all facing the wrong way.

As I understand it, the law is that law enforcement officers MUST have the warrant with them and must serve it upon the owner of the premises on demand.

Oh yes, I'm not denying that.... though maybe it didn't feel that long ago until you put it in numbers...

To my media frands!

We're working on something hella dope with Spooky Doorway's latest addition to The Darkside Detective game.

If you're a fan of point and click, retro adventure games with a horror/comedic twist - then hit me up! I'll be reaching out to y'all shortly.

Shares are appreciated!πŸ’–

There is, however, previous form at the BBC for exactly this sort of thing. I've never heard of it being done at a live event before, but there was a trend of alcoholic celebrities turning up to appear on Wogan and finding a massive bottle of vodka in the green room that wasn't on their rider.

"Retail executives are a very different breed from tech executives."

Are they, though? They both have exactly the same job, which is to promote their company and make as much money out of it as possible.

Tech executives don't actually make the tech, they just employ people that do.

There is nothing unsavory about sex.

No matter how much pineapple he eats.
