Months ago I went to a coffee shop with a realtor who had recognized me during a showing. He told the barista what I did for work and now every time I go in we talk games. Today they have a Silent Hill 2 shirt and NYCC hat on. Many gamers are very cool very normal people!

This is powerfully embarrassing

EXTRA LIFE BEGINS! Settle in for a day (and night!) of local multiplayer, mini-blights, donation incentives, and a whole lot more as we raise money for a great cause. www.twitch.tv/giantbomb www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-sk...

Hearing this made me greatly appreciate these art pieces done by Yoji Shinkawa for Black Ops 3, because these are a helluva better than whatever ai slop is being made.

So black ops is bad, bad huh?

I asked Acti about using generative AI in August. Yale Miller's response: "There's AI tools and different things that we've used as part of, like, started to look at a little bit as far as workflows, but every single thing that goes in is touched by a human, there is no question on that."

Music isn’t working at my gym so I’m just listening to dudes mumbling random Travis Scott and Bad Bunny lyrics while panting, I would not recommend

Kotaku wants to get in touch with developers about how AI is being used in your studio. You can contact our tips hotline [email protected] or my secure email at [email protected] We'll keep your identity protected and anonymize info so it's not traced back to you.

Just discovered the Game Awards Bill Clinton stage crashing kid has an edgy humor podcast and his guests include Amouranth, Howie Mandel, and Matt Gaetz.

I love writing my manuscript, I get to use my two favorite letters together over and over

I have officially starts my 5th year of allergy shots! 11 more months and I’ll be able to breath in the spring time and pet all the cats!

Problem: AI needs massive amounts of power to thrive. Nuclear makes lots of power. Nuclear takes a long long time to do safely. Proposed solution that I'm sure will have no unpleasant consequences: Use AI to speed up the construction of new nuclear plants.

Shit hangs out with butt

Good news I’m writing it

I cannot make it more clear how badly internet culture fucked up politics

absolutely heartbroken to announce that i was part of the crystal layoffs today 💔 if y’all spot any openings for a soft, dedicated, smiley games writer — please send them my way 💫 i was on the most perfect narrative team on an exciting, ambitious project. i will cherish it all forever. 💖

we've raised $250 so far!! come hang

Halo Infinite/Fortnite gameplay now

We're doing something very special today during my stream: raising money for @play.breakthrought1d.org to fight type 1 diabetes, which my little sister Alana lives with! News, then Fortnite, and for every donation I get, I'll blind eat a piece of leftover Halloween candy. twitch.tv/alyssamerc

Do you think he'll swing back left again

I'm sorry, this is the fugliest thing I have ever seen. Bring back color, bring back fun, bring back futurism

If there are any former Game Award Future Class members interested in participating in any capacity my DMs are open!

This feels good, thanks dudes

Feeling so Italian rn

Is there housewives bluesky I need to discuss salt lake

I’m not a scientist but I’ve screamed NO WHAT THE FUCK several times during this lab scene in Pluribus episode 1. Have we no PROTOCOLS where is the SAFETY MANUAL.

Do my moots know anyone well-versed in the "implicit harassment" tactics of the online right? I have done a lot of research on this, but a 15-minute chat with an expert would be *hugely* helpful for my book. I'm talking this kind of stuff:

Giant Bomb you have nurtured a very good audience my friends

Your hourly portion of Israeli war crimes. www.bbc.com/news/article...

More Future Class stuff!! I edited a segment from my Twitch stream covering my story and adding even more context (I even watch one of the first Future Class Game Awards clips, and *hoo boy*). That's on my YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIt9...

We got Alyssa on GMM this morning! We're talking about the State of Play from yesterday, the Game Awards, the Mario movie, and more! twitch.tv/giantbomb youtube.com/live/YWGg5XG...

Guess who’s on @giantbomb.bsky.social Game Mess Mornings in 20 mins?

The song from that driving scene in the last episode of The Chair Company, you’re welcome

Wow. Can't say much else. The overhead corona was unbelievable. The most intense reds and greens. ❤️💚😍💃 She'll be dancing until sunrise. I visited Franconia Sculpture Park over summer and it has been on my aurora photo bucket list ever since. That's where I went last night. Schafer, Minnesota.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

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...

curiously the way every game was made before 2023 is no longer possible

Knowing my work resonates with people like Malindy and Future Class alumni means so much to me. Too many people in this industry stay quiet and stay comfortable. My life has not been comfortable over the last ~2 years, but it’s been full because I stand on business and stand up for great people.

Great piece by Alyssa on the poor treatment of talented upcoming developers by the Games Awards

@alyssamerc.bsky.social absolutely killed it with this piece
