It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
Chat, is it good when a judge says this to you at your show cause hearing?
That means a lot -- thank you much 💙
WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran?
CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.

Hiya, I'm Rin (she/they) and I've been sorta kinda developing indie games for the last decade or so! I've made several game jam games over the years, and currently working on MailHero!
A fun fact! I sword fight! With steel swords! 8D

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike? ME!
I’m a narrative designer and writer who loves telling human stories through fantastical lenses. I’ve been involved in a range of projects through Indie, AA, and even a book anthology!
Also, I’m looking for my next role! Contract, full-time, remote; let’s talk!
Not at the GDC but that's still #WhatAGameDevLooksLike
I'm a 2D Game artist and animator, working in the game industry since 2019
I worked on indie games like Pyrene and Hold the Mine!🔥
The book Tevinter Nights sits on a bed of leaves. A plush mabari dog stands next to it.
Happy book birthday to Dragon Age: Tevinter Nights.
I was already writing Neve, Evka, and Antoine behind-the-scenes, but this was their first appearance 💜
Ahhhhh, thank you!
"What if every npc was a fully functional chatbot" is the game equivalent to asking in a movie "what if you could move the camera wherever you wanted"; it sounds so cool until you realize there is a crucial intent to the limits, and you will quickly lose the plot if you toss that by the wayside.

The truth is not the average of a fact and a lie.
While you are healing -- you can fold yourself up into halves, quarters, or more. and still, you won't be small enough for the ones who feel entitled to your space. so fuck it. unfold.

if this doesn't sum up the tech-ai-forcible-use bullshit in a single question 🫠 oh how i hate them!!!

Not at GDC but #WhatAGameDevLooksLike
I've been a technical animator for almost 25 years. I've worked at Turbine Games, Blizzard, BioWare and now Motive. I've done everything from rigging to coding to bloody dismemberment effects. Also, hair. My new glasses are cute!
A woman stands in a modern bathroom. She is wearing a leather jacker and a t-shirt that reads "Punch More Nazis." She has pink hair and a side shave. She is flipping off the camera.
What's good, #WhatAGameDevLooksLike ?
Senior writer on Iron Man @ Motive, prev: Space Marine 2, Gotham Knights, Jurassic Park: Survival, World War Z: Aftermath, and more.
I also write comics! Grab Stark Trek: Celebrations when it comes out in May!
if it wasn't a world-destroying atrocity it would be kind of funny how much time and money and energy is being put into convincing everyone to love AI and still the general consensus is like "meh"
Oh yeah, we are doing #WhatAGameDevLooksLike again 😊. I’ve been working in the industry for about 18 years now and currently working on Iron Man. I’ve been really fortunate with the amazing teams I’ve worked with 🥳
Excited to read about y’all
Not at #GDC but I’m #WhatAGameDevLooksLike
Writer, editor, Narrative Designer and DEI Consultant for 10+ years. A very hireable one, still seeking work a year after Monolith’s closure. ✌🏾
You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.
I am skipping reposting the cis het White guys who hop on #WhatAGameDevLooksLike
You’re 74% of the industry, what people assume a dev looks like & you’re missing the point of why the hashtag was created by @drjclau.bsky.social

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude.
Okay LFG #WhatAGameDevLooksLike! I’m Mary, + this is my 10th year in games. I’ve been AAA and indie, everything from narrative director to contract writer, and I’m now a senior writer at CD PROJEKT RED.
I’ve got two wee children and a very lorge cat, 50+ houseplants, + many unfinished manuscripts 💕

One more for #WhatAGameDevLooksLike. I’m Jo, a Senior Game Writer at Motive who started at BioWare in 2008. I’ve written for IP like Star Wars, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Dead Space.
I also write short stories and novellas (in between baking, swimming, and getting nagged by a routine-driven cat)
NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal.

Even knowing some of this stuff already, this piece still shocks
Two, interlocking and thoroughly gorgeous Noriyoshi Ohra covers for a Manga adaption of Star Wars: A New Hope. Everytime I stumble across this scan in my files, I simply have to throw it out there into the galaxy again. Coz it’s fab.
Purely from an IP law perspective, trying to "opt out" something that is at minimum a right of publicity issue and which has potential reputational issues for the involved experts is a bold move.
A very bold move.
A really really bold move.
