I finally figure out my problem with Instagram, I never see content from people I actually follow! Why does the algorithm think it knows better than me? Also how is this different than the push content cable TV offers?

I am doing this experiment where I am replacing photoshop and illustrator with Canva and Affinity! So wish me luck?

I am regretting my reading choice right now! I am gonna have a very gloomy weekend! I need a happy funny book next.

I blame all the LLM bots for my LinkedIn feed. Every post feels like one of those long meetings which could be an email. LinkedIn needs a word count.

My daughter feels so seen by this website. She can do all her important button pressing!

I decided to read a murder mystery and now I am dreaming about buttercream frosting and cake. This is not working of out for me! #Butter

I have been reading Mother Mary comes to me by Arundhati Roy. And now I think I need to read God of small things again. 😅

Guess who finally has a printed version of his book in his hands? 🙋‍♂️ linktr.ee/Power_play_b...

I am having such a hard time finding actual facts about anything and everything these days especially current news! Can someone please design a better system for this?

This week on @aiandgames.com we let @tommy.aiandgames.com rant about the news. Including Nintendo holding off on price increases, Bitmagic’s AI-driven game engine (and Civilisation clone), Sony's AI podcasts, and the ridiculously overblown response to Genie 3. www.aiandgames.com/p/genie-3-sp...

From this list... I feel very strongly about: 1. AAA Studios Will (Quietly) Double-Down on Gen AI (they don't know how else to be profitable) 2. PC and Console Gaming Will Outpace Consumer Budgets, and Players Will Blame AI (PS5 Pro - $750🙄) 3. On-Device (Generative) AI Will Surge (costsss!!!)

We're kicking 2026 into high gear with a newsletter issue on predictions for AI in the games industry this year. It covers the big issues we expect to see in the next 12 months. Including a prediction of 7000 AI-tagged games on Steam - which is not great. www.aiandgames.com/p/10-predict...

You can see the difference in writing skills in this! While @tommy.aiandgames.com has paragraphs on why he loved a game. I had a hard time coming up with 3 lines. 😅 How do you keep saying it was a fun game in different words?

As we're wrapping up for the holidays, what better time to post our behind-the-scenes vlog from running this year's AI and Games Conference. Thank you so much to everyone who joined us in London back in November, and we'll be announcing our 2026 plans soon! www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3f5...

Our final big meaty issue of the year is out! Game AI's Existential Crisis (Part II) is now live. In this chapter @tommy.aiandgames.com explores how Game AI education is a fractured knowledge space propped up by a handful of individuals. www.aiandgames.com/p/game-ais-e...

They are doing Christmas week at the daycare, and now I have these gingerbread cookies in my house from the teachers, saying my child helped with these. She is 1, and I know her skill levels. I am terrified to try these cookies.

This is going to be my first livestream so I am mostly nervous! But should be fun. ☺️

We are just 14 paid subscribers away from our target to launch the AI and Games Podcast! We have so many cool interviews we want to share in detail with everyone, and I am so excited about all the new ones we will get to do. Can we please make this happen by the end of the year!

This is a great example of interview we did recently! open.substack.com/pub/aiandgam...

That said… if you have indie game and you want to talk about the GameAI in it. We would love to interview you. Get in touch with me please! #IndieGame #GameAI

So @shraddhagupta.bsky.social and I were discussing today how views on @aiandgames.com this year are no doubt lower not just because of YouTube being shit, but we covered more niche projects. Our videos on Trepang2 and Blood Typers had the lowest views but glad to see viewers check those games out.

The release of Arc Raiders has raised significant concerns about the ethics of utilising generative AI in a AAA game. It’s important we understand that for whatever gains AI delivers, who is losing out, and what impact does that have on the industry? Read on! www.aiandgames.com/p/arc-raider...

I didn't realise this was his full name.

Tell me you don't subscribe to @aiandgames.com without telling me you don't subscribe to @aiandgames.com.

I’ve loved every minute of working with @tommy.aiandgames.com. My pet project is the AI and Games podcast where we talk to the people actually building things with AI in games. Not just the usual GenAI buzzwords, but real use cases, challenges, and outcomes.

Why are his answers stressing me out? Especially to questions - How does AI determine “truth”? - In 2030.. how do we know what is real? youtu.be/hmtuvNfytjM?... #GPT5 #SamAltman
