Even in a world where LLM never existed this is solid mentoring

I have tried so hard to articulate that last RT to junior folks for years, as Dana says, it’s a truth that precedes AI crap. The instinct to want to rush to a later point in your career already is powerful and important, but equally so is the opposing force that trains you.

We’re excited to announce that we’re making our SEGA logo 3% more blue. We hope you enjoy this upgrade. Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the new look.

I wrote the world's first-ever pop song about being a Game UI designer. I'm so sorry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g_1...

i'm not knocking visibility btw visibility's good! visibility's so important just,

It’s actually not okay to pay someone with a PhD $2500 to teach a college course

I wish I could say “happy” Trans Day of Visibility but things are pretty bad for a lot of us right now. I’m fortunate to be surrounded by people that support me and I’m not going anywhere but I need cis people to understand we can’t do this on our own and we need your help to make it through this ❤️

trans day of visibility? NO. trans day of pocket sand

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Trans Day Of Give My Game Visibility Please And Thank You

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

That’s what capitalism is. A shared delusion of sub-childish imagining. What they believe in is even more ridiculous than thinking money grows on trees. They believe money asexually reproduces. They think it manifests itself at an exponential rate for a literal eternity because they’re morons.

Multiple game studios have recently closed because their titles couldn't compete with established live-service games like Fortnite. Meanwhile, you can also literally work on Fortnite and get laid off and Tim Sweeney remains a billionaire. Something has to change. The time is now. uvw-cwa.org

Watching the lives of colleagues and friends get upended, unable to do anything and tasked with continuing the work as if nothing happened.

I'm sorry but if you have 4,000 employees and your revenue is 6 billion, you make 1.5 million per employee and if you can't make a profit margin there, you are simply embezzling it.

I am so, so tired.

My user research team told me PvPers keep driving away our PvEers so I asked how many PvEers we have and they said they just buy more advertising to attract new PvEers so I said it sounds like we're just feeding PvEers to PvPers and then our lead designer started crying.

Still very fond of this doomguy pic I did a few years ago. It's using the actual Doom palette, too

I spent some of this week making an I/O system for level scripting in Unreal for @sleightofhand.game! I have long had thoughts on why these kick ass. Here's an unusually long blog post on: -why these kick ass -why they are necessary -how mine works -etc etc www.joewintergreen.com/i-o-systems-...

Comprehension Debt - the hidden cost of AI generated code. - addyosmani.com/blog/compreh...

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

BREAKING: A Delaware judge has ruled that Krafton must *reinstate* Ted Gill, the fired CEO of Subnautica 2 maker Unknown Worlds. In the ruling, the judge accuses Krafton's CEO of using ChatGPT to come up with a strategy to get out of paying Unknown Worlds a $250 million bonus. Story coming shortly

After combining feedback from a bunch of comments, I think I've created the perfect Marathon cube:

If you see this, post your Green art! 💚

So many genAI “use cases” are better served by just not being fucking wastefully bad at your job

if you wanna know the types of bugs I gotta deal with the one I'm currently investigating is "non binary cats with dwarfism crash the game if playing in brazilian portugese"
