Post Games postgame.substack.com?r=1v057l&utm... A good little pod that covers things about the games industry that nowhere else does.

A final note related to my rant earlier: In France and German, the protections employees have under the law deters companies from making layoffs there. So they make all their planned European redundancies in Britain.

Sorry, I forgot to switch off my Halloween name.

1) Let's be clear about what's happening in the Games Industry right now. When the first layoffs came, it was studios expecting that the bad economy would cut games sales. People who started gaming during the Pandemic went back to their non-gaming lives, people has less money to spend. #Layoff

this one appears to be a) extra long and b) aimed at more or less me exactly. if you're curious about the intersection of text, dialogue, and plot in gamedev - this is great stuff

Ruin looks really good - moody chiaroscuro art (I think that's chiaroscuro, anyway, I am not an expert), bad beasties with swords and a list of influences that sound like a hell of a lot of fun! Anyone out there willing to give me $1 billion so I can fund infinite games like this to completion?

You know who else somehow isn't getting rich off this new AI boom? A chap called James Mark Bishop. He used to be a professor of mine. He also invented the Stochastic Search that LLM-based AI use to make their logic fuzzy and increase the speed with which they find relevant data.

If you search TikTok for Hurricane Melissa videos right now, you'll see a flood of AI-generated and fake videos. These AI videos include eye of the storm views from above, sharks swimming in floodwaters, huge waves battering towns, destroyed airports, and fake news reports.

OH! That was it. I just watched an AMAZING mostly found footage K-horror film - they made an incredibly scary badness very simply and effectively and I almost fell out of the window trying not to be in the room with it any more. It's called "Gonijam: Haunted Asylum".

Shit, I came on here to post something, and I forgot what it was.

A little happiness for everyone from an artist I learned about today: www.instagram.com/poshichi_rou... (I apologise for the instagram but that's where the pictures are)

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Hey biologists! Lookit! Seems like a good time to lunge into research, as the USA is not going to be competing for patents as long Captain Tylenol is in charge of their Imaginary Health department.

I was reading this article on "Old Thom," the solo Orca who sometimes hangs out with dolphins, and found myself wondering "Can Orcas be autistic?" Being mostly alone and occasionally having a strange group to play with reminds me of school. www.smithsonianmag.com/science-natu...

Hi, folks! If you’re going to be at Melbourne Games Week here’s a heads up on where to find me. First up, I’m thrilled to be keynoting at GCAP on Tuesday the 7th at 9:40am with a title that’s too long:

There is a petition to have Michelle Mone stripped of her peerage and her seat in the House of Lords. She and her husband deliberately profiteered during COVID by supplying usuable PPE. We should not have someone proven corrupt sitting in the Lords, influencing UK laws. chng.it/FgSVmPkSNK

The Thing is one of my favourite movies and this short video has some fantastic images of the miniatures they used. A lot of attention is justifiably on the amazing practical effects by Rob Bottin and his team but a lot of the other models were also stunning. youtu.be/lNrpM9fXoRE?...

Just because the Tories purged all the liberals from the BBC does not give them licence to make such a historically delusional programme as King and Conqueror. Ivo Taillefer is famed for charging across the battle, alone, to kill Saxons making fun of his singing. Not for being oiked with a spear.

I saw Gavin Newsom with the California Republic flag and thought the NCR bear had lost a head.

Well deserved!

Uhhh... what?

I've been watching the Silent Hill f trailers, and I'm thinking: * the f stands for female * the red flowers are a reference to menstruation * the boy you see is also Hinako, Tales of the City-like I think the key metaphor in this one will be of a transboy going through female puberty. (cont)

Motherfucking wind farms…

The Trans Pride march in London yesterday saw huge public support. Even people under pressure to not openly support LGBTQ+ causes found cunning ways to cheer the marchers along.

Would you like to feel happy for a while? Britain has a aerobatic performance troupe called the Red Arrows. But now, we also have the Red Barrows, a wheelbarrow-flying troupe, and they are awesome. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... (Have a google too, there are more videos)

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced that Palestine Action will be branded a terrorist group. So a new organization has been formed with the same goals as Palestine Action, but a different name. It is called "Yvette Cooper". "Yvette Cooper is a terrorist organization."

4th of July is Independence Day! AKA Republic Day in the Phillipines It celebrates the signing of the Treaty of Manilla which gave them independence from... *checks notes* ...the USA.

If you were under NDA, but the project that NDA covered is cancelled, can you now talk about it?
