unbelievably grim to see Valve announce a delightful and exciting compact Linux box approximately 15 seconds before RAM became the more expensive material in the known universe.

the end result of AI image, video, and audio generation is that society will no longer be able to rely on images or video or audio to represent reality. Children born today will never be able to assume that just because they have seen something on a screen that it is likely to be true.

Kodansha announced they released all 26 episodes of Mushishi Season 1 to watch for free on their Youtube Channel

I refuse to let this stay in my head

Has this ever happened to you?

This whole series of threads is about game dev but equally applies to any producer/project manager/whatever across almost any industry.

If your meetings don't have clear purpose, they're for show. If your process isn't making work easier and output higher quality, it's for show.

The frequency of meetings should be determined by the necessity of group problem solving and oversight. Early on a project, it is likely that daily standups are helpful because you have not yet formed a foundation to build on. You need to check in frequently to prevent drift/misunderstanding.

I think it's good and sensible for a team to meet up once a week, but whether the regular meetings are 1/day or 1/week, they all need to be run thoughtfully and efficiently. If the meetings are not, in truth, helping people do their work better, you *have to* change it up.

definitely the worst producers I've worked with did not only this, to the point of trying to force a new project, but also decided on timelines and "due dates" without consulting the leads and ICs properly (or even talking to more than one of them at the same time)

what about producers who never, ever, making meetings of any sort at all

You'll get different definitions at different studios but here's mine: a person who helps individual contributors (ICs) and leads work with each other to make workflows better/easier/[Radiohead voice] more productive. They should be like oil: reducing friction and energy required to get things done.

high quality start to the month tbh

It's worth noting that liberals in the West propped up Ai Weiwei as the perfect dissident, even when he started agreeing with Trump about the 2020 election being rigged.

But then he spoke out about Palestinians and was instantly blacklisted. Now, those same liberals no longer see him as an ally.

Okay so the third Knives Out was phenomenal and, in my humble opinion, the best one yet.

Apparently I have to muck around with verification or something because of where I live. I’ll get around to it this week

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Helldivers moment: @dungeonenvy.bsky.social and I are at extract, I throw some dynamite at some bots and realise it's on a 60s timer, and then die a few seconds later.
Envy reinforces me, and I sprint back to extract. We're about to get out when we suddenly get blown up... it was that 60s dynamite
