With today’s changes at Polygon, I've made the decision to step away as a deputy editor. It’s been a privilege to work with an incredibly talented and supportive team who I'll really miss, and I’m enormously proud of what we’ve accomplished in our time together.

I can now say I've been Technical Art Director on a BAFTA Award winning game. Great work went into making the game & the dev team deserve so more credit than they've been given. We've mostly gone our separate ways, but most are listed on MobyGames Happy to recommend excellent folk I've worked with

You need to talk to the people in your life about what LLMs can and cannot do.

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

For reference: Procedural generation is shuffling a deck and dealing from it. genAI is feeding every card deck you can find, including ones not for the game, into a wood chipper, slapping a handful of the bits on some glue, and pretending its a playable hand.

every UK video game in the 80s and 90s was made by a guy named like "lord wensleydale" or two guys named "the chippy twins" and was about an egg with no special abilities going on an adventure and dying immediately. it was ported to the super nintendo where everyone hated it

I am not trying to be cruel but I agree: it is an enormously bad time to be trying to break into games. It’s a bad time to be a senior+ in games even, & I don’t see it improving soon. By all means, keep making art you care about, but it’s so unlikely to be a “pay the bills” career at this point.

Elon Musk is an asshole. Wikipedia is one of the true wonders of the internet age. Wikimedia Foundation has way more than enough money to run the site forever, and wastes most of your donations on other activities. Please donate somewhere better if you want to help those harmed by Musk's actions.
