also, if you 1. live in a reasonably densely populated area or a city and 2. leave the house daily, you're gonna have social interactions with someone you've never met before on just-about a daily basis.

like think about it for a second!

🧡Some thoughts on Tomino's "Hard Robot" concept vs SRW's 'real robot', and mecha design as performance in the formation of both sign and semiotic

I'm not just against AI to be some contrarian Luddite. It's because the guys pushing this shit are always, always, ALWAYS weird technofascists.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

The Beginning Of History Hi! If you like this piece and want to support my work, please subscribe to my premium newsletter. It’s $70 a year, or $7 a month, and in return you get a weekly newsletter that’s usually anywhere fro...

It's the beginning of history - and an era where we'll see thorough tests of the assumptions of the AI bubble as a result of the war in Iran and the economic and social chaos to follow.

It's time to stop using the past as a guide to what happens next.

"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 reality is a lot of these sites actual business was getting ad rev from people googling "how to take a screenshot windows". AI can't replace what @aftermath.site or @mothership.blog or @digitalfoundry.bsky.social or people make games etc make because they offer more than manuals with banner ads

hot take? "AI is destroying internet media" is not the story here, it's "AI can delivers slop better than what's left of internet media post-private equity". AI summaries can't replace a @gamersnexus.bsky.social vid. I stopped reading gaming sites when they fired all the writers I gave a shit about

Like, fuck, right wing fascists try and claim Superman, Star Trek and My Little Pony, there is no way to write a show they will not cling too. They whined about Wolfenstein being woke! You cannot read someone through art who actively works to distort reality to support genocide

I'm sorry, but there is no TV show you can make that a fascist will not eventually claim because fascists are really really really really really really really really really really really really fucking stupid

Also, they're liars.

They're stupid, hateful, bigoted little liars.

a lot of critiques in aughts alleged that pentagon was influencing video games and in truth the relationship seems to be the other way around

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

It is very funny to me, on a certain level, that fascists want the thousand year empire of Rome, but due to their modern brainworms, they are completely unable to do the one thing that would make their empires work: let non-Romans become Roman

Whenever folks ask me about portfolios, I show them this video.

In 52 seconds I can see what AndrΓ© is good at. I understand what he is good at. If I need to hire someone who understands game feel, and who can build that on their own, I will interview him.

I know this in 52 seconds.
