Genuinely horrible, disgusting behaviour from the Saber CEO, it just gets worse and worse. I'm sorry for what happened to Ashley and to Stella.

Ashley Cooper@ashleycooper.bsky.social · 20h ago

When I worked on Space Marine 2 I became the target of a mass harassment campaign by the worst corners of the 40K fandom. Saber tried to deal with the problem by asking me to remove that I worked for them from my social media. I refused. Not at all surprised by this behaviour from Karch.

Vi har ett val. Sverige kan välja att bygga havsbaserad vindkraft som inte behöver något statligt stöd. Noll kronor. Eller så kan vi bygga kärnkraft som kräver 1000 miljarder kr i statligt stöd. En biljon kronor! Tänk vad den biljonen skulle kunna göra om den gick till välfärden eller miljöarbetet

Saber Interactive has denied renewed claims that it replaced a former Lead Writer so it could “use ChatGPT” in the development of the recently announced title, Rideshare “Stimulator.” In a statement to PC Gamer, Saber also acknowledged previously undisclosed genAI use elsewhere in the title.

"The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate any thing. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It [cannot] anticipat[e] any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us in making available what we are already acquainted with." — Ada Lovelace, 1843

From Note G, p. 722

It is desirable to guard against the possibility of exag-
gerated ideas that might arise as to the powers of the Ana-
lytical Engine. In considering any new subject, there is
frequently a tendency, first, to overrate what we find to be
already interesting or remarkable; and, secondly, by a sort
of natural reaction, to undervalue the true state of the case,
when we do discover that our notions have surpassed those
that were really tenable.

order it to perform. It can follow analysis; but it has no
power of anticipating any analytical relations or truths. Its

analysis, that they may become most easily and rapidly |

the relations and the nature of many subjects in that sci-
ence are necessarily thrown into new lights, and more pro- |
foundly investigated. This is a decidedly indirect, and a
somewhat speculative, consequence of such an invention. |
It is however pretty evident, on general principles, that in |
devising for mathematical truths a new form in which to |
record and throw themselves out for actual use, views are |
likely to be induced, which should again react on the more |
theoretical phase of the subject. There are in all exten- |
sions of human power, or additions to human knowledge, |
various collateral influences, beside the main and primary |
object attained. |

Lucifer hires you to rescue Jesus from a megachurch, on tap for His Precious Blood(tm). Limited time: Live as a listed sponsor forever! (Audio & other alt awards negotiable, hmu.) ko-fi.com/revcasey/shop Read the full thread to preview the irreverent J-splatter #TTRPG fever dream coming soon!

Black background, black and white + low color image of Jesus on the cross against a stone wall, money in the shape of the cross transparent overlaid on the crucified Jesus, blood red letters in an arc around and above it ("BLOOD.MONEY.GOSPEL"), white stamped letters in black area at bottom ("Written by Rev Casey" + "Published by Thought Punks")

The Gist
Jesus Christ came back. Of course He came back. He said He would. The problem is that He came back gentle and confused and asking questions about sparrows and rent prices.
Before He could get His bearings, Pastor Dominion Crale of the First Church of the Perpetual Tithe had Him zip-tied in an Escalade and driven to the compound in forty-seven minutes flat. That was eighteen months ago.
The main Cathedral now operates HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD™, a multi-level wellness sacrament pipeline moving vials of genuine messianic blood at a year’s Toronto/London/Paris professional’s salary per unit (Blessed Faithful Anointed Healing Moment™), the cost of a large luxurious home in Tokyo or NYC (Chosen Hosts Exclusive Miracles Package™), a tier only reachable by mega-millionaires and billionaires (The Perfected Saints Full Indulgence Membership™), and a newly launched Divine Disciples Triple Elite Plus Eternal Covenant™ option for the most wealthy that comes with a personal blessing, concierge,

They operate on artificial scarcity (above and beyond the limits of their gruesome extraction process). The First Church ensures that even the Eternal Covenant™ tier has a waiting list. Lower tier lottery winners can wait in line even through the night to receive their “blessings” on High Holy Days™. (Universal Love For All™ financing plans available.) The Vatican filed a complaint. It is in a drawer somewhere one guy has the keys to, and nobody’s seen him in a while. The SEC wrote a memo about drafting a proposal to explore a process to review the complaint. It’s in another drawer.
Jesus is in the Sanctum Sub-Basement, connected to the Eternal Harvest Array. He cannot die. He cannot leave. He has been patient about this. He waits, faithful, hoping, suffering. He waits for you.

You have been recruited by Lucifer. Yes, THAT Lucifer. (Please don’t call them “Satan” or “The Devil.” I would say if you value your life, but that is the least of what the Morningstar can take.)
Lucifer (pronouns variable and flexible, presentation business casual, stress beginning to show through the seams) sought you out personally. The pitch ran for almost two hours and included a PowerPoint with extensive citations.
The end of the pitch: “I know how this looks. I know you have questions. That’s too bad. It’s none of your business, really. What I need you to understand is this situation is more personally offensive to me than your little brain can grasp. I pursued every available channel for months. I am standing in this awful parking lot talking to you, exactly because there are no more channels. Please. You will be well-treated for your help. And I am asking nicely. I am… not good at asking nicely.”

I’m learning that the people who gamified paragraphs are having trouble reading books. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...

Al has become my reading buddy as I've plowed through my summer book list, helping me keep track of plots and characters, unpack themes, and make sense of wordy, old prose.
• Why it matters: The way many of us actually read books - a few pages before bed, a chapter at the beach, another on a plane - makes it easy to lose the thread. Al can help you pick it back up without starting over.
Ш I really got into using Al while reading James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." The text was far too dense for casual vacation reading. My first prompt asked:
• "T'd like a guide as I read The Last of the Mohicans who can help me understand what I've read and where the story is, without giving spoilers or getting ahead of my progress. Can you do this, chapter by chapter?"
• The robot agreed: "Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic."

There is no such thing as separating the art from the artist when the artist is still alive and going "I am literally using every dollar spent on my art to support genocide" There is separating the artist from the artist, which *would* then allow you to actually separate the art from the artist.

Dark Ages is a post-apocalyptic, historical fantasy game by Andrew Gillis and myself (adopting the Bakers' draft). It is about personal ambition, community strife, rights claimed & rights denied, in an age of our real Earth but not our real history Now in playtest! sevencrowsgames.itch.io/dark-ages

Something terrible is coming.
The Empire of Eagles left us. The eldest among us still remember the shape of imperial rule. Their children, only the garrisons’ backs as they marched away. We knew not where they were headed, and no news ever came. Empty forts fell into decay. Kin serving in distant legions did not return. Imperial faces faded from silver coins. Bridges crumbled, and no engineers arrived to make them whole. Did the Empire burn? Withdraw? Simply collapse? Whatever the cause, we were abandoned to our fate.
In its absence, a rupture. Long years of chaos and upheaval, but amongst the ruins, possibility.
Now we stand at the precipice of the ungiven future. A resurgence of old ways vies against the advent of new crowns. War hangs in the air like a bloody knife. Dragons stir in the earth, and dream of the world’s breaking. In distant lands, converts kneel to a bloodless corpse-god. This age is a broken thing, ours to make anew—time now for the plunge.
Dark Ages is a post-apocalyptic, historical fantasy game of personal ambition, community strife, rights claimed and rights denied.
***
This is a playtest document. It is the third draft of Dark Ages, formerly Apocalypse World: Dark Ages, which Meg and Vincent Baker developed and abandoned back in 2014.
After a fruitful and compelling experiment in archaeological playtesting, we (Andrew Gillis and Luke Jordan) have adopted it with the Bakers’ blessing. It is our intention to bring the game to publication, incorporating recent developments in the PBTA design scene while honouring the unique, original DNA of the game that captivated us in the first place.
