I Am Not Good: The History of Cheating in Video Games
For generations of players, cheat codes were a secret handshake. A gateway to extra lives, godlike powers, and hidden worlds. But behind every cheat lies a story of creativity, rebellion, and the ever...

honestly if all that stuff disappeared my days would improve? I wouldn't have to navigate cryptic menus to opt out everywhere, I wouldn't see shifty chatgpt posters everywhere I wouldn't have to hear ppl say "I asked chatgpt..."
I have one answer.
Absolutely hate how searching for stuff these days is like just doubting whether something is just lazily AI-generated and bullshit or just on a vibe coded website which doesn't really inspire confidence but like, idk, maybe the info is not AI slop, but hard to say really!

I truly feel for kids growing up now who will have to unlearn using AI, but if you've been writing for more than 2 years it is the easiest thing in the world to just Keep Doing The Thing You Did and ignore AI tools!! It makes me feel crazy that people act like this isn't the case!!!
it's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun
as it turns out, putting blood, sweat, tears into surviving to 24 and writing a book during your hardest year is worth it. thank you @lostincult.co.uk ๐ i definitely haven't processed this being my reality yet, but they're right there nonetheless. on my shelf. my book. that i wrote.
Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.
I come back to this tumblr post again and again
Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.
Another highlight of our E3 collections: ten years of E3 Show Daily, the magazine that was handed out every day at E3. "Show dailies" might be a new concept to most people, so let's show you what was actually in these... archive.gamehistory.org/folder/ae5ac...
It's probably pulling at straws to be thinking of my two beloved niche rhythm (adjacent) games to be referencing one another but every time I saw "rhythm alien" in rhythm heaven groove I was like heh ... like commander video from the bit trip series ....

The saddest part about Google becoming so enshittified is that I don't even feel like making funny jokes like "hey Google how do I stop caring about my job so much to improve my mental health" bc like theoretically if I DID I'd get an ai answer to that and. Ew.
I just saw a meme that said โget in losers, weโre reclaiming the emdashโ. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be โget in, losers โ weโre reclaiming the em dash.โ
Being mentally drained by the 9-5 making it difficult to work on the stuff I actually want to work on in my free time is so LAME
I didn't intend for my FFX replay to coincide with such a big anniv but hey! FFX good! Play it. Can't believe it's 25 years old!!

I don't care if genAI is way better these days or useful as a tool. I care that it uses incredible quantities of resources and the work of humans without their consent Elephant tusk is a fantastic medium for carving but I'm not buying any ivory sculptures
