My friends and I all care about each others’ lives and passions. I’m making my game mostly for them, so hopefully they still care by the end

While not nearly the most important thing going on, I wrote some jokes about why this year AI in video games is going to be the absolute most annoying debate. Even more annoying than it already is. Just deeply annoying.
