I watched this scene again recently and I’ve been insane about it since

I instantly believe this wasn't intentional. I think many people's disdain for all things girly are subconscious and not being reflected. That doesn't make it okay and it imo deserves correction.

Imagine trying your damndest to find *more* absentee landlords given Ireland's history. #spéirgorm
Hey, any games press want to cover our big upcoming steam event with Irish games?!?

...and represents the impact on authors’ livelihoods and the publishing industry that is expected if the government proceeds with plans it has floated that would make it easier to train AI models on copyrighted work without a licence. 🧵
Almost 10,000 authors have come together to publish an empty book protesting the theft of books by tech companies to train AI models.
Titled Don’t Steal This Book, it is empty of text except the names of the authors involved.. 🧵
We urge the government in the strongest possible terms to rule out legalising this large-scale theft.
And to AI companies we say: stop stealing our books!

God I hate that Gen X attitude that you're apparently not supposed to care or be passionate about your work. Like bitch I will talk about my OCs for hours if you let me I should be allowed to openly love my work!!!!!!!
the idea that people making art has the attitude of "it doesn't need to be special" and that it's the exception to care about the quality of what they make is such a revealing self-own
Ironically, the work I did for Mirrorverse was a great experience because of how much the team actually cared about Belle, Beauty and the Beast, and doing the character and her history justice! It was wonderful to work with people so openly excited about the project.
A plague upon the houses of that Gen X philosophy of pretending you don't love or care about the things you create!!! I had the misfortune to work for a company that outright denigrated employees that admitted to any kind of passion for the stories they put out and it was the worst job I ever had.
A reminder in stream chat etiquette that foreshadowing is also spoilers. Someone last night said “get tissues” and it instantly gave away what was about to happen taking away the surprise and emotion from the moment. Please have self control and let people experience things 😑
I strain hard to keep my shop affordable.
Don't believe me?
Go see the prices!
All of this. Plus their makers stole all our work, are trying to change our IP laws to lionise this theft, took a sledgehammer to the creative economy and successfully reframed predictive text generation as the zenith of artistic achievement
Also, the fascism
This is a great article about some really scummy practises, and the gutting of games media for parts. Gambling shit is everywhere now, and it's miserable.
Games media continuing to cover Call of Duty uncritically like any other franchise, while ignoring its substantial role in the rise of Western authoritarianism is one of the greatest morale failings in an industry with morale standards best described as "When they are convenient to have."
Anyway...
That the windows 12 news is fake is relatively inconsequential when taking into account the believability of the claims that were being made. Microsoft has curated an identity in the last few years where a subscription supported AI focused windows 12 releasing this year wasn't very surprising.
Since 2016 Ireland spent 5 BILLION on asylum accom. Asylum seekers get treated terribly in abhorrent conditions, they are the product
It's all just a barely monitored system to put as much public money into private hands
New bill to worsen passed without oversight!

Yessssss!
I would like to do an in-conversation with an experienced therapist where we talk through a harm-reduction approach to using AI for therapy.
I feel like - as with writing - there's a lot of collegiate pressure not to give an inch or even acknowledge that people are using it like this.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
Artist palette mixer. Mix a color incrementally using a color spectrum or a custom artistic colors palette (comes with some presets like Zorn palette). Add colors directly to a new palette. RGB,LAB and Pigment mixing, blend modes. Try it here:

Increasingly literally, people who write for a living, especially about computing, are simply generating raw material for AI summaries, not addressing an actual readership.
I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️
I wrote words in here, I hope you like them.
Some actually good news
The Financial Times is reporting that the Trump administration plans to debate the matter of Tencent’s US-based gaming investments as a "national security risk."
The situation could see the US pressure Tencent to divest from companies like Riot Games and Epic Games, among others.
Since it's making the rounds, no I won't be at GDC because I can't take the risk of tossing money being unemployed to eventually get nothing in return for it other than a potential arrest by ICE/TSA and getting stuck in a fascist country detention center.
