When people say "embrace AI or get left behind," they mean "Companies are offloading bureaucratic chores onto their customers and calling it 'automation.' You either deal with that or don't get served." (This message was brought to you by automated check-in systems.)

Exploration and discovery are an important part of well-designed games that provide things to discover while players explore the environment. It's a

Every time someone links me to a video essay, I look at the runtime (often obscene), think about how much art I could experience in that time frame, and just do that instead. You're going to die. Use your time to experience things *for yourself.* YouTube will not enrich your soul. But art does.

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

The reason even this admin of brain geniuses hasn't pulled the insurrection act lever is they know it's their last card, and if they lose that fight, it gets really bad for them. Potentially it ends the ability of the administration to continue.

I saw some folks thinking that voice acting in games was objectively good, always a positive. "What kind of game doesn't have voice acting in 2025?!" sorta thing I say that there are positive reasons why one would choose NOT to have VO. How many design justifications we can come up with? Join me

If you're the first in line at a left turn arrow, you need to pay attention to when it turns green. You control the destiny of everyone behind you. It's a big responsibility, I know, but it's also a way to show your fellow human that you respect their time as much as your own.

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.
