Well, when you put it like that it almost starts to sound like poor management, leadership and planning, but that can't be true because all the studio heads in charge of those things still have their jobs.

Ya know, maybe we shouldn't hold up John Landis as the standard for "getting it done" in filmmaking.

fixed your headline

We made AI to take the gruntwork out of regular office tasks! Wait no not like that

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

yo! quick question mark, why are you on the "potential future stories" list in my research obsidian, filed under "look into this guy" also can you just quickly read this old tweet of yours out loud?

every stupid screwup in this admin is either 30 Rock-coded, Veep-coded, Curb Your Enthusiasm-coded or Always Sunny-coded. Algaegate is all four at once. Very powerful.

I’m not joking about that 1996 bit, here’s where we were wrestling with “can the player’s avatar be a defined character in interactive fiction.” groups.google.com/g/rec.arts.i...

Weyland-Yutani from Aliens is a surprisingly realistic portrayal of companies nowadays because you never get any real idea of how they actually make money but they certainly have a desire to do evil and sometimes Paul Reiser is there

funny how that works

This game is full of morally grey choices. No goodies. No baddies. Like, you can choose to side with the eco-terrorist Skypirates rebels or you can join the Obsidian Conclave and serve the Exterminatrix Prime.

a lotta yall still dont get it fortnite skin holders can use multiple verse scripts on a single indie game so if you have 1 verse script and 3 indie games you can create 3 new fortnite skins Tonight's verse script mint event is essentially a minting event for both fortnite skins and indie games

Friendly reminder that the Telltale making TWA 2 is not the Telltale team that brought you their previous hits. Their team had the rug yanked out from under them when the studio folded. The majority of the team was let go except for 25 people to finish the Minecraft game, then they were let go too.

CHECK IT OUT! 🎱💣🔥🚬🍺 store.steampowered.com/app/3520280/...

people (myself included) have always talked about how there will be a time when a certain unreal version becomes the new canon "last good version" that an extraordinary amount of developers lock themselves to, supported by the license agreement. the time is coming really fucking soon.

and all of them are senior university administrators

whenever anyone I know admits to using ChatGPT this appears above my head

A video game studio should be allowed to make a bad game and gain some institutional knowledge without being gutted, skinned, and melted it down into glue every fiscal year.

iran deal is $877 per person in the US. In any sane world that loses you 100% of the next elections votes lol

It's only been 4 years since they released this image. Red X's are closures (if today's happen) Blue Circles are reported layoffs

A friendly reminder that Double Fine's Psychodyssey is one of the finest pieces of media ever created, and a must-watch for anyone who cares about video games, yet somehow it's also completely free www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

every sufficiently old magic card is like Coughing Bomb (3BBB) (pay an ongoing resource tax to have some sort of horseman not kill himself immediately) and every sufficiently recently printed magic card is like Hydrogen Baby (1R) (take your opponent's deck and feed it to a dog)

it's pretty on the nose for modern american life that a company that doesn't really do anything at all is on track to be the biggest company in america

"It is hard to express how *instantaneously* my brain automatically dismissed them as textbook confirmation bias": how an oversight in C#'s built-in System.Random class caused dozens of randomized Slay the Spire II outcomes to be effectively predictable tck.mn/blog/correla...

like you're kinda buying into AI bro rhetoric when you hear "before AI we had to manually search through massive documents to find a word" and respond "yeah and that was good!" rather than "no? we hit ctrl+f"

im pretty far on the anti-AI and LLM end of the spectrum, but you have to constantly think critically and reassert your reasons *why* you oppose it, otherwise you end up taking positions like "it's good to manually complete tasks which could be automated and doing avoidable work is virtuous"

Demon-Haunted World reference ftw

One of the better proposals for limiting the impact of extreme equity wealth.

I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

"2.5 billion gallons" sounds like a lot but is about 2 tenths of 1% of the amount of water (approx 5 million acre-feet per year) used to grow almonds just in California. www.c-win.org/cwin-water-b...

everyone in politics now talks like a villain in a movie where the hero is a dog, but now the dog loses and they sell the orphanage anyway

It’s a pretty weird week when a guy who wants to be a trillionaire is simultaneously getting headlines for the economy-shattering IPO expected Friday and the racist pogroms he is accused of stoking — but these stories are viewed as separate and in no way connected or prescient of the future.

they're gonna threaten wild curve balls on the first part of the trilogy then get scared and play the rest of it as close to the original material as possible

okay. if magic is going to go to universes beyond, and that's an inevitability, and magic is ultimately a dark fantasy adjacent property, i am owed at least one dark souls set. please. i've been so good.

there is in fact no way to appease people who are openly, self-consciously saying "the problem is that we can't be appeased"

i've hit upon the ultimate scheme. i'll simply use generative AI to bring my creative ideas to life! it's a good thing only i have access to this tool, otherwise everyone could do this. which would obviously make my plan completely worthless

new pikiniku. wake the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So one thing I’d like to see from a politician is saying “we should make people follow laws again” instead of “here’s why I hate trans people bipartisanly” or “I like sports and beer”
