I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

SPEAKING of talks, your favourite generational yapper will be part of a narrative panel at Develop:Brighton this year, amongst a sea of terrifyingly talented co-panellists. I’m not *saying* you should catch me there… but I’ve been known to give out rare Sweet Baby merch at Develop in the past 👀

Love Adam Pascal....fun spin on the song, and a prime example of what is great about Miscast youtu.be/Ci1QNjZm-C8?...

There's some solid, deep, and random Lou Wilson lore dropped at the tail end of today's Adventuring Party 😂🤗💜

I watched a few too many Next to Normal videos so now my YT algo is shoving every Jack Wolfe video possible into my feed and it's fascinating how much his fandom imo seems to "baby girl" him & try to keep him this young puck-ish, elf...he's 29, I think? Yes, a very fae look to him but that is a man

ANY PERSON this age group can get a card, whether or not they’re experiencing book bans. That’s powerful for queer young folks in small towns with no libraries or libraries with limited hours or collections, too.

Each time I send an inquiry into the pet boarders, because I might need to travel (this time for a family funeral), I feel immense guilt, even though it is the most bougie, spoiled cat boarding place one could put up their spoiled munchkin because she cries like I'm torturing her the entire way 🫠

Oh to go through life as charismatic and handsome as Carlos Sainz...must be lovely 🤗💜

My supervisor is a really tough taskmaster, y’all…constantly staring over my shoulder 😔🤗💜

For no particular reason, I once again had to share this quote from the legendary Phil Tippett with one of my dear colleagues. I should print this out and frame it.

I don't understand why the Aussie channel that airs Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee doesn't follow the Taskmaster example and just post the full episodes on their YT channel so that the international audience that is rabid for the show can watch it legally and grow the fanbase 🫠

More and more I see people say "it's ONLY used for translation" when it comes to genAI in games. As if the act of writing into another language is not worth respecting. As if people in other countries (both gamers and workers) don't matter at all. Translation IS writing. Translation IS art.

Now this is how you visit the @criterion.bsky.social closet...fill up that bag, Oscar! 😂👏✨🥰 youtu.be/-GZ1xYEZDgc?...

Love, love, love when Matthew allows his comedic chops to shine, as he’s truly one of the wittiest, most charismatic people with whom I have ever had the pleasure to spend a bit of time…hope he’s having a blast doing this! 🤗💜

Stealing blatantly from Lauren cause it’s a great idea! Right now, I’ll be at PAX West, hoping to still make #GenCon (I’m invited back as part of the Writer’s Symposium), and PAX Unplugged. Want me on your PAX West panel or live show? Throw me a DM 📸 by @lauren-urban.com at PAXU last year 🥰

How come some of the F1 drivers that I find the most likeable and charming have to be on teams that feel like it's rooting for the Patriots in the NFL, huh? 🤣🤗

hey look at my fonts in these cool games: ninja gaiden, ball x pit, titanium court, cadence of hyrule... these fonts could be in your cool games too because you can buy them off me and they are not expensive chevyray.itch.io

Whelp, I am in the proverbial doghouse because none of the three different flavor varieties of food presented this AM were acceptable to her majesty, mi princesa 🤣🤗💜

"Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!" - Arthur Miller, The Crucible

Well, I certainly won't be getting a lot of use out of this screenshot of my beloved munchkin @erikaishii.bsky.social from the new @gamechanger.dropout.tv s8 trailer that just dropped as a reaction image 😂🥰💜

My poor cat is so scared of rainstorms of any kind and this one moving through Austin right now is a doozy, huge thunderstorm with good-sized hail coming down in my area, so she is miserable in a ball in the back of my closet 😢😢😢
