RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

Finally watching Kingdom of Heaven. This movie is so fucking boring, dude.

Still looking for someone who can speak from this perspective. Do you exist? If so, let me know!

Has anyone heard anything from Develop Reboot in Croatia? I keep hearing it's cancelled but not had any official comms and I paid £350+ for the ticket. Emailed them a few times but no reply.

Don't forget that by buying GTA 6 you are against worker's rights and supporting corpo fuckery. What they've done is an absolute disgrace. If you struggle with that or empathy in general think about every piece of shit boss who treated you unfairly and imagine putting money directly in their pocket.

Hello, I'm Natasha! 👋 I do a whole variety of things in games, but here's the most recent: ✨Lead Writer, VO & Casting Director ✨CM Lead, Metagame Designer/Writer ✨BAFTA Member, Limit Break Mentor ✨Speaker at Develop/EGX/Indie Impact ✨Games Event Organiser Outside of work, I paint and play RPGs!

Wish I was a man so I didn't have to worry about this shit. How nice it must be.

Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted. ‘Add blood, forced smile’: www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

There's no Sunday Scaries quite like the post-Christmas holidays Sunday.

Just finished #Dispatch. What in the Madonna Whore Complex? Between 'Boobs Out InvisiWank' and 'I'm so pure I didn't even fuck my last boyfriend' Blazer, I am surprised that this isn't generating more confusion and ire. I have a lot of thoughts about this game...Maybe I'll make a thread tomorrow.

If I can't romance Flambae in Dispatch I'm gonna be mad.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

"This is a blatant, unapologetic act of vicious union busting" - Hundreds of Rockstar employees sign letter to management, demanding fired colleagues get reinstated www.eurogamer.net/this-is-a-bl...

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

Just a note to say I'm not really using/checking bluesky anymore either. I don't want to send in my ID or whatever to view my DMs and Twitter is still shit. If you need me I'm pretty much only using LinkedIn and Instagram (same username) these days.

Eating raspberries is like playing Russian Roulette and I will not elaborate.

Beijing based writing roles👇🏻

This is outrageous. I know staff there have already been crunching for months, and now jobs are going to be lost in payment for their lost evenings/weekends? Thanks very much, management! Never fucking crunch for your company. This is your reward. Oh, that and the fucking pizza. Disgrace!

Wealth inequality is the reason for this. The wealthy are getting wealthier and can afford the constant increases in price, which drives further increases. Everyone left on the same wages for twenty years cannot.

Does Bsky log anyone else out all the time? Doing my head in.

Very late to the party, but Slay the Princess is a really interesting game. I very much enjoyed it. I especially liked how they gave the 'protagonist' a varied voice through their inner personality traits depending on what happened to him. Really brought life to it. Ironically.

No, you can’t make me!!! #booksky #writingcommunity

Last night at Develop, see you at Special Effect's closing party.

Brighton, I've arrived! ❤️ #DevelopConference

It's over

I cannot stress enough: you cannot give an inch on this issue. The moment you start accepting media using genAI for "small" things or just tiny aspects of production, they will only start outsourcing more of the process to AI This is how the smallest end of the wedge is driven in against laborers

My experience with making placeholder content, is you want it to look bad. You need to be able to spot it at a glance and go "that's way too shit to be finished" so you can ensure it's replaced properly. Placeholders that can masquerade as complete assets are sketchy.

Well, that's a bummer.

CEO compensation graphed next to employee compensation. 🙃

I’ll be at Develop Conference! Chat to me about: 🐪Stronghold Crusader: DE (coming July 15th) 🏰“Stronghold Unreal”, an unannounced title 🎬Voice Direction 📖Writing 🎙️Voiceover work. I've re-stepped into the world of acting. Do you have a need for an absolutely mental Scottish voice in your game?

If I made all my money off complex games narratives, I simply wouldn’t systematically annoy every writer and narrative designer in the industry 🤷

Did my first professional video games voiceover gig today. I gave up on acting about nine or ten years ago, and I'd forgotten just how exhilarating it is. I had so much fun and I can't wait to share more about the wacky little character and the excellent game.

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’. I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY. Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

Someone said they wanted a physical version of Hob’s Barrow?

PAX East, my liege! Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition coming July 15th!

I'm enjoying Clair Obscura a lot but I do prefer turn based games where I can sit back a bit. I like to use thinky brain not monkey brain. Between the QTC, the parrying/dodging etc, it's just a bit too "active"(?) or HackNSlash like. Yes, I am fighting the sakapatakes and yes I am mad about it.

Show us your writing process in a GIF.

I have a sleep hangover. I have slept like....almost 24 hours lmao. PAX East was a blast. Now the laundry begins.
