… because you can’t use it critically for writing. it’s a wrong answers/plagiarism/does-the-work-for-you machine that compromises your learning and human expression. and even if it wasn’t those things, it’s fueled by an industry that is actively harming—even killing—people and the planet

I suppose I did this to myself by watching all the Gamera movies in a row
followed on Twitter because of Dishonored, years ago. followed again here when I migrated over because I look up to your work and voice in games!
… so I guess as far as I’m concerned, Subnautica 2 is DEAD dead
thank you for sharing this. it's encouraging to me on my own journey of career changes / developing a healthier relationship with music comp. and getting out from under expectations of what "success" is. hope you feel liberated and fulfilled!
we need this, as a society
Myst was my first “immersive” experience in a game as a kid—the first game to transport me beyond the awareness that I was playing with a toy on the computer. I was hooked on the series that followed. they’re foundational to my personal journey of playing, studying, and creating games!
they gotta let him direct one. his love of G would undo Emmerich’s hate
he’s an enemy of art and artists. he turned his 4K “remasters” into AI-smoothed sludge and he’s feeding the workers who have made his VFX-driven projects possible into the chipper to save money and push the use of tech he’s invested in
I’ll happily continue to ignore this series
I'm not watching WAR OF THE WORLDS and I don't think you should either. Why? Because the bean counters at Amazon don't see hate-watching as a bad thing. In fact, they are playing to that.

since it’s being talked about, imo (personally) 1) all games are “art” and 2) player choice/a certain threshold of interactivity is not required to qualify as a game. “play” takes many forms. games as multimedia storytelling are valid even if they are completely linear and lack choice
not good! people should not lose their livelihoods to “AI efficiencies”—and libraries and the orgs around them should be a bastion of information for and by humans. machine readable things like the semantic web etc. are only as good as they are useful to humans on both ends of the sharing of info
so basically, the D’ni number system logic @cyan.com
love how they so subtly honored the American TriStar Zilla
incredible piece of criticism
ScienceDirect AI ad on ScienceDirect, offering to "instantly surface, cite, compare and explore trusted evidence from deep within peer-reviewed literature"
no thanks!
it is distressing that “Processed by the Boys” not only remains relevant but has never been truer in its description of a police/surveillance state fueled by xenophobia and marketed as “cool and nice”
this is the tie-in that would get me to play
"1 Perfect Games" in Steam account

Steam is almost correct. there is 1 perfect game, and it's Frog Detective, but there are 2 others: Frog Detective 2 and 3.

I never considered that a pope could be from where I’m from. somehow it’s strange
the Japanese Breakfast show was so good that I forgot to take a picture
good grief. I stopped buying their stuff because of the transphobia fiasco, but it’s disconcerting as an indicator of where the industry is. I was also bummed to see LABS go from free to free* (*subscription platform with some free stuff to get you in the door)
I remember this cover story because it pushed me over the edge to cancel my Atlantic print subscription and seek out more progressive voices
We're suing Trump to save library funding. Show up for our libraries, American Library Association.
NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services.
The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)
we can still save it. keep donating your HEI points
it’s Christmas in Tinseltown!
