I think the last thing I should be doing right now continuing to read news about horrific things but I'm having such a hard time stopping myself from continuing to read news about horrific things

that chatbot doing that unsafe/violative thing is not it 'going rogue' or an 'unfortunate incident of unintended consequences,' it’s the logical and devastating consequences of an unsafe product put out by irresponsible companies that have been conditioned to believe consequences dont exist for them

Production 101 of the video courses exists because too many times indie studios know how to build a game, but not how to ship a commercial game. Production is a large part of what publishers evaluate, and the skill you need to ship. Available now for teams & freelancers both: courses.ramiismail.com

I'm in this very weird space where, to continue in my profession, I need to develop something very similar to an independent consulting role. I have really mixed feelings about it, because I want to stay in the discipline... but it's SO exhausting to effectively run your own business.

if you had a good time and it wasn't made with genAI don't call it slop. Just because the experience is relatively simplistic and designed to be enjoyed with others that doesn't make it lesser and it certainly doesn't make it slop. Games like PEAK, Big Walk, or Lethal Company are works of art.

Tangentially, I've heard the AI age discrim issue is quite widespread. If you're applying, deeply recommend removing any education attendance years from your resume. I've debated using an initial or more neutral first name too, as AI apparently heavily favors masculine names; but still deliberating

points at sign: THE GAMES INDUSTRY’S CUSTOMER IS THE STOCK MARKET, NOT THE GAMER Live service games are seen as ‘worth the risk’ because when one blows up (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA Online) it makes so much money that it covers all previous failures and more. What gamers say is irrelevant to this.

Just learned that the VA DMV holds your driver's record for 11 years *since your license was last renewed, not when it expired* SO I had a VA license til 2021 But bc it was renewed in 2013, My record is totally gone 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 which is great if your record sucks, but sucks if your record was great!

We've seen some questions pop up around layoffs: "well, if they were laid off, didn't that mean they weren't doing a good job? Maybe they deserved it." And on its face, that sounds logical and legitimate. Because the opposite would just be pure cruelty, right? ...Right? ...So here's the thing.
