I really appreciate that there a bunch of folks in the area media who aren't as over reactionary about all of this.

Brutal Game, yes. Rough few starts against the leagues best. Yes.

Was also good to see players/ex-players defending and supporting him through this.

NGS didn’t have a single go for it recommendation on any of the Seahawks’ field goals. Models aren’t always saying go for it!

Disappointing end of the season, but the Patriots had a heck of a season, so much better than I could have reasonably expected.

The off-season will be interesting to see how they retool and rework

Congratulations to Seattle, heck of a team and the defense was as advertised.

Perfect, no notes: the OpenAI Super Bowl ad costing millions is AI slop. 👇🏻

What was one surprise from the interviews over this past week at the Super Bowl?

Ubisoft clearly concerned about the important parts of game development: following the Bobby Kotick Principle of keeping your employees terrified

Just so brutal

Dug out, got lots of snow. Luckily light and fluffy.

WinRAR is more profitable than OpenAI

I've written several AAA lore bibles, including one for an effin' MMO, long before llms even existed. If I can do it, there's no excuse for you

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.

No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

MeggoArt - Twitch new beta stuff + housing news review!!

there's a lot of housing stuff happening on beta and in the news and i'm live tonight to go over all of it with YOU www.twitch.tv/meggoart

I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

You don’t understand, we gotta burn out senior experienced devs, so we can keep having the same 5 discourses on a loop. There is a very real risk that if we treat people with respect and manage them well that we might have to stop re-debating basic terminology and practices.

Crunch is bad. Crunch ruins lives. Crunch kills. Don't ask for it. Don't do it. It's bad.

I can't believe I still have to say this after all these years.

A friend once told me he crunched from the time his daughter was born until she was 12. He took a new job so he could spend the next 5 years building a relationship with her.

But he’ll never get those 12 years back. He missed her childhood, and for what? A 91 Metacritic?

May be of some interest to many of my friends that make art.

I know a woman, a successful writer, whose husband left her abruptly, and as he walked out the door he said with an eager, flashing little smile, “Someday you can write a whole book about me.” And she sat there and thought to herself: I wouldn’t waste a minute of my life honoring that man with my craft.

A royal blue tri-blend T-shirt with the Microsoft logo (4 squares in a 2x2 grid that are orange, green, blue, and yellow) next to the word "Microslop" in the Microsoft logo font, Segoe UI Bold

I made a t-shirt last night after I read that Satya Nadella post about how mean we're being by calling AI slop slop.

I'm sad I couldn't get it here in time for the CES keynotes tomorrow.

if you're someone looking for WoW artists to follow or need to commission some art of your character, give the replies to this thread a look!

Always strange when a person reappears in your life thanks to some viral thing… In college I used to break into tunnels on campus with this guy, and now he’s solved cheese cases

What other inconsistencies exist between similar items with different costs? (I.e. two things that are similar looks/size/"functionality" but with wildly different costs)

Was just talking with Jay about this one a bit ago...

Sadness.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

I really cannot express the amazing amount of hard work that our Ops, Engineering, and other amazing groups went into their work as part of our 64 bit server transfers, and performance improvements on both games. It is a testament to the countless hours of work and tireless dedication to our games
