hello I am modern aaa game designer. the shareholders told me to make the game longer. I do not wish to make the game longer. they told me to make the game longer or I lose job. I make the player collect 6 potatoes for 5% damage resistance. The shareholders are happy. I've been laid off.

yeah sure whatever, let lara croft cook potato stew on her phone for 2m0s of damage resistance who gives a shit anymore

a screenshot from the upcoming remake of Tomb Raider 1. lara croft is looking at her phone in the middle of an ancient ruin, and it's showing her a generic crafting menu, and a png of saucepan of stew that apparently her phone lets her cook for "Damage resistance" if she has 6 potatoes

FYI the HUGE number of AI slop at GamesCom's opening night live is not a sign that the industry has normalized AI. It's a ploy to make you believe that. These games are all by the same 3 or 4 publishers. This is a concerted effort to make consumers accept AI.

"rot with me" now runs on android and mobile web! reviews: “It feels almost impossible that I would get to see this at the exact moment in my life I needed it.“ “sublime. every scene feels like a finger curling at my throat, trying to induce vomit.” “i think i may have to ask my doctor about hEDS…”

text reads "thank you for 4000 browser plays + 800 downloads! rot with me now runs on mobile!"
a woman has her head on a pillow and looks at a phone that says "rot with me" on it; a green woman is hugging her back. there are paper textures and plants collaged throughout.

How would you want this image to be described to you if you couldn't see it? Write the alt-text that you would like to read! Many guidelines suggest to keep it very brief. For art, the description can be longer and can match the post in vibe. Flowery language is allowed. 

The intent is to enjoy and visualize the art.

I feel like we need a reminder sometimes, so there is no amount of extra hours you could've worked to keep from getting laid off. Seniority, company loyalty, importance to the project - none of it matters when you're a number on a spreadsheet. Anyone telling you different is selling something.
