Every technology problem is three social problems in a trench coat

They are claiming this great victory for AI because... the game's text-to-speech NPC barks are almost passable. That's their big win.

I'm still alive 😅

Pfft, forgot links. This is how I know I’m not a marketer. itch.io/s/167119/my-... store.steampowered.com/search/?deve...

I have been having A LOT of fun with this game, but finding out they used AI voices, I'm dropping it immediately despite how many hours I've sunk into it. This is unfortunate, and I wish they would do better.

Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship. Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

Welp. Just discovered that someone is putting out a paid collection --over 200 pages-- that looks to be a Spanish language history of Garfield parody comics that may contain some of my work. While part of me is flattered, my permission was never asked.

It is lovely that Nebula is AI-free as well as ad-free tbh. It’s like YouTube but good.

Folks, a pill to swallow: if current Democrats will cave to your healthcare, they will cave to your voting rights. If they will cave to you not getting paid for 40 days, they will cave to LGBTQ+ marriage. If they cave to stalling our airplanes, they will cave to destroying our National Parks.

Rayblade is a phenomenal graphic designer and I have enjoyed working with him aplenty. $15 is an absolute steal and you all should hit him up without delay.

Directions 🪧 [1/8] There are a few artworks/comics I haven't posted here since I'm more active on Instagram, so I'm gonna try to catch up, starting with this one from the start of the year about my studies & what I want to do (most of them are in french, it won't be translated in english sorry 🫶)

So about those NPC chatbots in Hoyo’s upcoming cozy vibes videogame Petit Planet…

[OC: Eden Valor] I think I popped off on this one :) #team_KELT #rwbyoc #rwby

when you know exactly how many Things you're missing, or even have a vague checkmark to tell you you're "done" somewhere, it sucks the life out of a space. Giving players permission to be Done with something deadens it in their mind, it's what turns worlds into theme parks

I love a lot of things Angeline Era does, but IMO its smartest decision is understanding that Mystery and Full Knowledge Of A Game's Scope are enemies that cannot coexist and its refusal to even _imply_ what completionism looks enhances its sense of atmosphere a thousandfold

Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month. youtu.be/yOzFyrRH_sw

This is a must see.The assassination of Jamal Khashoggi has been so skipped by the general reporting of the EA buyout (I don't recall any media other than Eurogamer.es talking about it, but might be wrong) that I almost gaslighted myself into thinking the man behind it was "another saudi prince".

tbh as much as official rereleases are good for accessibility, I also feel like a lot of people just won't play games if they don't have official versions and that's not great for culture. Everyone should be downloading random ROMs until they find that special one that breaks their brain wide open.

*wiggly fingers* you wanna ask questions about iora~!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

There's a whole generation that learned irony before sincerity and now they're trapped. Can't be earnest without a layer of self-deprecation. Can't be enthusiastic without signaling awareness of how cringe enthusiasm is. The price of never being vulnerable is never connecting.

If anything, those of us who pushed for such a reckoning have been punished more than the actual perpetrators. I spent over a year muzzled in SLAPP litigation for the high crime of... saying I believed a state senator's accuser. The senator sued us activists for defamation.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

If you don't want gen AI in your manga, anime, game, and light novel translations, now is the time to make your voice heard. Write to your favorite publishers and developers and ask if they are incorporating LLMs into their process. And most importantly, tell them you will vote with your dollars.

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙
