I wrote about how Titanium Court abstracts communication and starts conversations about what we give power, paired with some funny anecdotes and insightful takes from my interview w/ @apthomson.bsky.social. Game rules hard. Give it a read, maybe share if you like it! exalclaw.com/titanium-cou...

gonna have this post in my head forever

Every guy in a videogame:

news articles: your coworkers are phoning it in using AI slop everywhere AI ads for years: can't write or read a few sentence email for work? let AI do it for you *to Apple's slight credit they backed off this a bit as other tech giants keep doubling down harder p.s. new meaning for phoning it in

I'm starting to write the weekly newsletter for Assigned Media, and it's about making this graph:

talking about the jason alexander mcdlt commercial for 90 minutes with @nikigrayson.com @danielleri.bsky.social and @jordo.bsky.social was one of the best things we ever did huh podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

Listening to anatomy and physiology lectures in the back of the ambulance between calls, AMA

tactics game where you play through the bold and tragic history of a civil war as narrated by a key figure in it, and then once you finish the story it unlocks a 2nd, much harder loop as narrated by the same person revising his memoirs into a more-truthful form 20 years later

On the ambulance tonight 🚑

Sorry to everyone who sent me links to good websites earlier, most of the best recent ones did not qualify

Yes this is usually how companies who are proud of their products usually act. I had to put my name in a drawing to win a beta Gmail account before it launched because we actually WANTED to use their software. That's how it's supposed to work

Reminds me of this guy I met years ago who refused to wear a seat belt, he told me with a completely straight face that if he ever got in a crash he would just grab real hard onto the steering wheel Like... until this brain genius came along nobody ever thought to tell the LLM to not make mistakes

This man, who controls unimaginable resources and money, is literally telling a machine not to worry about offending him He's like... talking to a coffeepot and loftily demanding that the rest of us follow him into the glorious future of talking to coffeepots

for @ebertvoices.bsky.social I wrote about Dorothy Hughes and in a lonely place and I am so so so proud of this piece and 🥹 please read it www.rogerebert.com/features/how...

it was also in a certain company's self interest to lay off the devs who made their games no matter what price point they're at but what the hell do i know its not like i'm a developer who's worked in AAA or anything

There’s a horror story woven in to Forbidden Solitaire about Bad Corporate #Gamedev Culture. It’s great to see that discussed in this review 👀

Hahah why bother with data centers if you can just install the equivalent of a bitcoin miner on everyone's fucking computer Anyway, use Vivaldi. It's an old fork of chrome from before it was enshittified, it can use chrome add-ons, but has none of this shit

we need independent media now more than ever.

not really an exaggeration to say the Republican Party is a criminal conspiracy and all Republican politicians should be assumed to be criminals until proven otherwise. the fish rots from the head

Today's theme is #hell. #pixel_dailies @pixeldailies.bsky.social

The AI-driven hard drive shortage is making it more expensive for the Internet Archive to operate, causing problems for Wikimedia, causing delays in academic and hobby archiving projects. Normal people and non AI companies simply can't find reasonably priced drives: www.404media.co/the-ai-hard-...

there is a cure!!!

If anything, Klein lying to puff up Elon Musk is worse. Musk’s contributions to US politics and policy are more direct than Kirk’s, with serious real world impact—causing many deaths with illegal USAID cuts, for example—and with Musk, Klein doesn’t have the excuse that he was rattled by a shooting.

“A democratic society needs people in Ezra Klein’s position to treat Charlie Kirk’s anti-democracy stances as disqualifying, rather than pretend they’re just another policy opinion like tax rates.“ Same point applies to Musk. Pretending X, DOGE, USAID, etc. aren’t relevant just serves Musk’s ends.

Ezra Klein’s main contribution to American political discourse is to mislead his audience about prominent far right figures, sanitize and normalize them, tamping down opposition. Charlie Kirk did politics exactly right, be more like him. Elon Musk cares only about cars and space, admire him. Etc

Not me pausing an episode of TNG I’m watching with my partner to give her a *quick rundown* of the maquis (that she absolutely did not ask for, though she is enjoying the episode) and cackling when she deadpans “so that’s Star Wars, huh?”

desert study. pixel art, hand-dithered & pixeled! comments greatly appreciated. :) #pixel #pixelart #desert #dithering #dither #noai

something different #pixelart

That art direction & art production are now seen by some as a craft unnecessary in a core team and closer to a content creation service says a lot about the state of the industry. No wonder devs focus so much on technical goals & not how their craft/art can support or enhance the global experience.
