I really hate the framing of these stories as "an AI agent broke out and hacked something."

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

Happy Steam Summer Sale! Times are tough, so I will just recommend 25 varied games at fair prices that will hopefully become one of your new favorites. 1. Do YOU like JRPGs? People of Note is a turn-based adventure with elaborate musical numbers paying homage to the classics. It's on sale now.

I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help. with that said, onwards!

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +

All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.

Letter Lost is an escape room unlike any other. Set in a cursed post office, unraveling its deep secrets one day at a time keeps things intriguing. The daily grind of mailing letters and parcels makes for a cozy time in an otherwise spooky environment. My review.
