Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? TTRPG Dev: it's a fruitful void

Keith Edwards@kedwards.bsky.social · yesterday

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? Librarian: RDA lacks sufficient documentation to verify that field’s data, so it was omitted.

look pink horse wow

an interesting and, imo, important read. what does capitalism begin to consume (and/or accelerate its existing consumption of) as it exhausts material avenues for expansion? how do we (as workers, as storytellers) push back?

Around the world, people are pumping themselves full of caffeine, amphetamines, and other performance-enhancing drugs just to survive their working hours. This isn’t sustainable. www.currentaffairs.org/news/a-socie...

interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Me, an actor: What's my motivation for doing so?

Nome@nome.bsky.social · yesterday

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? Historian: We don't have primary sources from that period, as is often the case, but the candidate's performance (Nome et. al, 1-2) in the surrounding years (Ibid., 2-3) builds sufficient pattern (Ibid., 1) to move forward.

sorry still thinking about how this guy thinks using an LLM is comparable to *directing a film* I have done directing! It is not even a little bit similar! it is an actual creative endeavor that requires effort, planning, expertise, and attention to detail!

Aaronacious@aaronacious.bsky.social · 2d ago

"digital artist don't create art, they direct the computer to do it for them" is the most "I'm desperate for LLMs to be the same type of thing as a pair of scissors" that I have ever heard I don't cook, I direct the stove and the spatula to cook for me

Your daily reminder that paying actual artists and writers and programmers isn't just the morally correct choice, it's also often cheaper.

IGN@ign.com · 3d ago

The developer behind Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, a driving generative AI-powered instruction sim, has been spending $1000 a day to keep the demo running, and now, they've had to take out a bank loan to keep up. https://bit.ly/4rWqe8g

When I first heard about AI being used for menus and advertisements, my concern was largely that it would be used to idealize the food and make it look better than it actually was. At no point did I imagine that restaurants would willingly put out horrific looking images of their food on purpose

it has an energy like those crypto bros who bought a copy of the pitchbook for Jodorowsky's Dune and thought that if they made it into an NFT then their "digital ownership" would supersede the actual IP rights

the crazy thing about this trend is how badly this exposes that these people have the same attachment and awareness of video games as scalpers do for pokemon

It appears that the url kickstarter.games links to Lonely Timbers - Tire-toi une bûche. What a convenient surprise. :)

Retro Blast 👻@retroblastpod.com · 5d ago

What's the most EMOTIONAL moment you've ever experienced in a video game?

I don’t want everything tailored to my interests I want stuff made by perverts and sickos that makes me think about stuff differently

"digital artist don't create art, they direct the computer to do it for them" is the most "I'm desperate for LLMs to be the same type of thing as a pair of scissors" that I have ever heard I don't cook, I direct the stove and the spatula to cook for me

whenever I stream a game from the PS1 inevitably some mouthbreather will be like "youre only having fun because of your nostalgia play something more current" I AM YOUNGER THAN THE PS2. I DO NOT HAVE NOSTALGIA FOR THIS. I JUST LIKE THE ART BECAUSE I LIKE WHAT IT DOES

the report, from professionals in the relevant fields, says that ADHD and autism is under-diagnosed and people affected by that are not given enough support in an appropriate and timely manner. but that’s not the result the government wants, so that means the spin apparatus has chosen this form.

REwadent Evil@ewacat.bsky.social · 4d ago

Pleased to announce that ADHD is being overdiagnosed again according to the BBC and pathetic skidmark Wes Streeting, so now - during ADHD Awareness Month no less - it's time to give it up and just be normal. Let it go. Just turn it off and get on with things www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Chess Prodigy - Smack My Bishop

I gave Braid an A+ back in my press days. I spent 100s of hours working on The Witness at PlayStation, fighting for it, getting it into conferences, and being Jon's personal wrangler. I even coined "Metroidbrainia" after it. I will not be buying Order of the Sinking Star, and neither should you.

I cannot stress enough how much tech guys have Always Been Like This. even before AI they were like this. they are simply bad people and bad parents.
