I wish certain people would just go off to bathe in their oil & gas with a side of coal, and leave the rest of us to build and preserve education, art, culture, and history.

Years ago, I remember a friend complaining to me about needing to take an ethics course as part of his comp sci degree because β€œI can tell good from bad and don’t need this course, it’s a waste of time”.

Guess who loooooves genAI now?

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

The moments without anger get shorter every day.

I keep iterating β€œThere is some good in this world, and it is worth fighting for” in my head to keep feeling, to keep going.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Tax payer this and tax payer that. It's not your money! It is technically all of our money. It's supposed to be used to help create a better society. But you only seem to complain about how it's spent when it's helping vulnerable people. And not those who are extremely wealthy.

NEW: I spoke to Team Cherry about Silksong DLC, cut content, difficulty settings, storytelling, what they were thinking with Bilewater, the lack of signposting for Act 3, whether they'll do another Hollow Knight game, and much, much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Making sourdough for the last few months has honestly been super satisfying.
New favourite thing is to make butter + chives + garlic spread, slather on a slice, then broil for a few minutes
