Thanks to AI, Google has become perhaps the largest source of misinformation in the world. This one is just completely made up!

I don't think people understand how hard it is to work in the video-game industry right now. If you've been laid off, it can take months if not years to find new work. If you haven't been laid off, you're anxious that you will be laid off. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I'm actually very excited for this Starfield update but I cannot overlook the fact that it took 2.7 years for a game whose whole point is "explore space" to add a feature that lets you fly through space

More art pass posting because mmmm I love second pass

This past weekend, the new movie Project Hail Mary was a smash hit, bringing in nearly $141 million at the box office. But many years ago, before he was writing novels adapted into mega-hit films, Andy Weir was fired from his dream job... at Blizzard Entertainment. Excerpt from my latest book:

Kinda crazy that there were zero eyes batted at a bunch of 10- to 12-year-olds reading The Hunger Games. Lots of those "videogames cause violence" types handing their kids a book about children snapping each others' necks. What a time to be alive.

Did you know that in the history of tracking press murders, Israel has murdered more press than any other war, conflict, government, or military. At number two is the whole Iraq invasion & conflict, which still led to less press murdered in a decade than Israel systemically murdered in just 2 years.

The fact that Jim Carrey keeps retiring but then someone says "hey they're making another Sonic the Hedgehog movie" and he goes "ehhhh maybe I'm not retired" is just incredible

Families are making impossible choices: Pay bills or fill up the gas tank. Buy groceries or pick up a prescription. They deserve to not just get by, but get ahead. That’s what I’m working to deliver. For someone making $50k a year, my tax plan could save them over $2,800.

92 pages of Krafton getting chewed out for trying to destroy the makers of Subnautica and effectively steal life-changing sums of money from the studio's staff, all because their CEO used ChatGPT to formulate an illegal takeover strategy. That was absolutely delicious to read.

Subnautica devs v. Krafton ruling is ABSOLUTELY stunning. Start at the top of page 32 and read until the end of that section on page 37. Krafton CEO was warned by their legal personnel to not follow ChatGPT into what is likely Some Of The Dumbest Legal Shit Ever, CEO believed the plagiarism bot.

YESSSS

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

omg thank god I have so many problems… using consoles???!!! there is simply… not enough AI in my services???!!!

“Do not work” notices were sent out for Mega Man: Dual Override by SAG earlier today.

New form unlocked! New sets coming in 2027 #LEGOSuperMario

Really glad we gutted a bunch of federal departments under the pretense of "waste" for this horseshit.

Mike Kehoe wants all Missouri state employees back in office for no reason so I guess my studio that's run by the University just implodes into nothingness cause 80% of our staff are scattered all over the country and our office has 4 fucking desks in it Great job Mike

JOY DIVISION MENTIONED

Three friends, one night, and one last adventure, set to the soundtrack of a generation. Mixtape from @annapurna.com launches for Nintendo Switch 2 on May 7! #IndieWorld

Oh so NOW we arrest people for this?

Prices are up, and families are struggling because Trump’s tariffs raised their bills by more than $1,000 last year. He just lost at the Supreme Court and doubled down on tariffs anyway. Trump can’t admit when he’s wrong, and Americans are literally paying the price.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.” www.therage.co/persona-age-...

Ok sure yeah Steam that's right

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

> buy studio > don't let them make any games > ??? > close them down for not making any games Great strategy, gaming industry. Maybe it will finally work the 2,615th time!

I LOVE DETAILING GRAYBOXES RAAHHHHH

I honestly like that Sylux's backstory is that he is just a loser and an asshole

The Helldivers 2 Problem. Players beg for a thing that is outside the scope of the game's design, to a point where they start perceiving its absence as a slight. So the devs add it to placate people, and the game's design keeps getting wonkier- and then players complain about THAT too.

Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question: "why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]" It turns out, "a lot of reasons", but if you never have to test your ideas, you never have to discover why they're not any good. loadbearingtomato.com/p/why-chasin...

Introducing the “AI-BOROS”: the few companies at the ‘top’ of the economy handing each other billions of (debt-ridden) dollars for a product that both doesn’t exist AND doesn’t make any money. and we ALL get to go broke when it inevitably implodes ha ha i love it here!!! youtu.be/ifyaI4TOsDM?...

Trump’s DOJ tried to charge me with a crime simply for saying something they didn’t like. Think about that. This is after DOD already censured and threatened to demote me. He wants to make an example out of me and scare Americans from speaking out against him. Don’t let it work.

"relying on AI will mess up your brain" was already something I meant literally, but I have to admit I did not expect it to apply this literally. This is fucked up. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

It's so wild that we live in a world where the response to "teenagers don't like genocide" is politicians pushing "let's stop teenagers from using the internet" so hard that Discord has opted to shoot its own foot off www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

BREAKING: “in my 24th year of my quest to settle the planet Mars, I have just been informed of a basic fact of celestial mechanics.”

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

This is racist, plain and simple. Trump's behavior is beneath the Office of the President. Is there anyone around him who will tell him when he’s wrong? www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

Good news! Using ancient, arcane techniques known only to literally everybody who has been programming for more than 3 years, it is possible to continue programming even if your AI is unavailable! This technique is called "doing it yourself"

It's unreal how good this game looks on a base Switch

at least 70% of the AI hype that’s bottom-up — eg, excited users — is people who never learned how to actually use their computer suddenly realizing the computer can do things for them

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

I wish I had the self-confidence to just fully publicly admit that I thought facism wasn't on the rise and include "people on the internet used the word too much" as one of my primary pieces of evidence

Getting whiplash from how quickly MAGA turned from "I hate the federal government!" to "The federal government should be allowed to just execute American citizens because they feel like it."

Welcome to America, where masked federal agents in unmarked vehicles are allowed to just kill people.

A second American citizen has been killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis, and DHS is blocking any independent investigation. When will my Republican colleagues speak out against this chaos? This can’t continue.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

For some reason, Trump said his tariffs would bring costs down for Americans. But the data shows what you already know: Americans are bearing 96% of the tariff burden. That's $200 billion coming straight out of our pockets because of him.

Personally I would not love to see the US military fight the French military because I am not filled with bloodlust, but also because I don't think either military has fought a comparably trained and equipped force in 50+ years and it would probably go badly.
