game design is like threading a needle but each time you succeed the eye of the needle gets smaller

Other than that eternally-relevant advice: weโ€™re entering a period of standardization, where AI-generated outcomes mostly just reinforce existing creative norms. To develop a career that subverts this itโ€™s in your interest to be a sicko, making work for other sickos.

There's a Q&A with me in the latest Soft Labor, a newsletter on creative labor. It covers some thoughts on AI, advice for young designers, and only a tangential mention of games because that's not actually what I'm known for, even if it's all I want to talk about www.softlabor.biz/the-soft-lab...
