Game devs: Be loud and proud about not using AI in your games, because if it's unclear to me before purchase I will look for an answer where I can find one, and there cannot possibly be a worse impression for a prospective player than pro-AI chuds "defending your honor" in the forums.

SUCH a lifelong dream to get to work on a new game set in the Myst universe. ♥️📖 Still hope we’ll get to see it through someday, but I’m thrilled we can share the trailer:

Over a year ago, we built a prototype for a new Myst Universe game meant for publisher eyes only. This project is NOT in active development, but we're proud of the work the team did, and wanted to share it with you all. Presenting: Project Anglerfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNGt02yZNc

Ah, the humble mashed banana. Nature’s jam, they call it

Sick of this

Alright, I'm going to talk about one of my biggest reasons for unionizing on the Arena team. Forced relocation, aka "RTO" (Return to Office), "WFH protections" (Work From Home protections), or more recently "Ways of Working." Buckle in for a thread.

It's ok if your character creator isn't fully featured but can we please stop calling them "presets" when they're actually baseline templates with mutually exclusive options? I always blow past these thinking I'll just do my own thing without realizing that I've actually skipped a meaningful choice.

You LOVE to see it, good work everyone, keep up the relentless dunks on AI, all these bros deserve a wedgie/swirlie combo and they are not allowed to sit at our table ever again.

The AI Industry Is Discovering That the Public Hates It

If there was any doubt over the brewing public backlash to this technology, the last few weeks have erased it.

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured” www.reuters.com/investigatio...

As AI enters the operating room, reports arise of botched surgeries and misidentified body parts

Medical device makers have been rushing to add AI to their products. While proponents say the new technology will revolutionize medicine, regulators are receiving a rising number of claims of patient ...

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Seems right, though I don't know if I agree with the "Beautiful (not ugly)" prognosis. "Purple (not orange)" is on point though. (openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac... to contribute to the market research gathering)

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac... i... okay having a peek at the palantir does sound like something i'd do tbf

Regarding Hawthorn and it's use of genAI: I have decided to drop out. I was not convinced by the statement that was provided that genAI usage was off the table & even after raising concerns internally I wasn't reassured. Thank you all for speaking up. I wouldn't have pressed so hard if you hadn't. ❤️

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

46 hours in and this game continues to amaze me at how unpredictable each run will be. Extremely unprecedented for a puzzle-based mystery game to keep on giving like this.

This should be a new trend

You know what I love? Real art made by real people.

I personally think AI gen stuff is ugly and super bad for the environment and I don’t think it’s fun!! Sorry!!!

Waiting for the new raid to drop can drive one to insanity.
