Thinking of starting a little game design blog where I post short thoughts on game design and narrative. Like cool things a game is doing, dev tips from my experience, creative exercises, things like that. Not long-form. Short and sweet. Would anyone be into that? 🤔 #gamedev #gamedesign

If the Trump admin hates wokeness so much, why does the “Department of War” want to use Anthropic’s “woke AI” so much? Like bro, why don’t you just use grok? I mean that sounds like a sensible argument until I realize damn if we gave Grok the ability to surveil and launch autonomous attacks…

No matter how much you think the UN failed at maintaining a rules based order, right now we should really be trying to re-establish rules based order and institutions that support it. Unfortunately we are going down a very dark path. There’s a reason we had this, to prevent world war. Now what?

When people insist that it was just about taking down a dictator…they are showing how horribly ignorant they are of International Relation, geopolitics, and history.

The United States grabbing the leader of a foreign state should be viewed globally as an unacceptable act of aggression (war?). We should all be worried because if they can do this, what won’t they do?

I’ve been involved in discussions on AI and often I’m asserting humanist and human-centered approach. People get distracted by the hype and the promises of ASI/AGI. But we need to move from humanist principles. Humanities people need to be at the table ever more!

I’ve watched lectures and listened/watched to material to familiarize myself with the ideas of Surveillance Capitalism. But finally having a book in my hands, on top of the ideas I can’t help but admire how magnificent Shoshana Zuboff’s prose is. Amazing thinker, beautiful prose stylist.

I never played Pokémon. Felt I was too old for it when it came out. But I’ve been curious. Asked a friend, if I’m a fan of stuff like Ghost of Tsushima and GTA, what’s a good entry point. I picked up Arceus and… I GET IT NOW. Having so much fun and happy to have a new fandom to get into.

Been looking at the possibility of video games costing 80USD. Honestly, we are paying very little for games vis-a-vis the dev costs of most games, especially AAA. And for the enjoyment and value we get, the cost we pay is pretty fair and a price increase is understandable. HOWEVER

When people call a TV show or movie “slow” does it actually have a problem with pacing, or are they judging it based on TikTok-speed/attention and cuts?

I normally don’t read my own work. But a story I wrote 20 years ago was re-published so I thought to try. I cringed at myself and how I thought “that was good.” At the end of it though I stepped away kinda proud of my young self. Like good job for doing that you were pretty good at that age.

I quit as podcast CEO October last year. But I’ve missed talking, interviewing, connecting in that way. I’ve had the immense pleasure of guesting on pods (thanks to Stanley Chi, Elbert Or, and Myrza Sison). And I guess this is a green light. Invite me on! I’ll talk AI, pop culture, bball, anything!

Needing to be online to play certain games is frustrating. 1) sometimes net dies and you lose progress 2) sometimes you want to bring the device out and just play —ahem switch— 3) it’s these forced cloud saves and other features you don’t necessarily need. I might be old gamer yelling at clouds

Just picked up NBA 2K25 because it’s got a crazy price drop on Switch. I used to play every 2K and Live, but haven’t had a copy in maybe 3-4 years. Looking forward to designing an athletic center to get drafted to the Lakers hehe

I miss the days when I could put a cartridge in a console and just play. Now I have to sign into all kinds of things and it takes up time. I also forget my log-ins because of all these different services lol why does it have to be so hard I AM OLD and just want to play video games

So last night I was thinking I will maximize the holiday and read. Instead I spent the morning learning songs. Said I’ll read after lunch. I watched Late Night with the Devil. Then I went back and reviewed the songs I learned. So much for reading! But still holiday well spent. Gig soon!!!!

I guess the world that we live in right now is really what happens when nerds and incels read science fiction books, but don’t get the humanities support to understand that these are cautionary tales and dystopias

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

One reason pop culture conversations (often with younger people) suck: I’ll say, have you seen (insert movie/show). They’ll nod and say yes. Then I’ll describe a scene or something technical. Then they’ll say, oh yeah well I saw clips so I don’t know that part. SEEING CLIPS IS NOT SEEING A THING!

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

2 thoughts about Adolescence. It’s so outstanding on so many levels that I can’t stop thinking about it. And the advantage of it being only 4 episodes is that it is a viable rewatch that would be rewarding without being so demanding on one’s time. I just don’t know yet if my heart can take it

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

As I watch “vloggers” who are really disinformation spreaders brought before Congress, I can’t help but think about the accountability social media platforms should hold. How many journalists and truth-tellers have they silenced and down-ranked? And how often have their algorithms boosted disinfo?

Adolescence on Netflix is pretty mind-blowing. Super creative in its execution of what might be a typical procedural. I love the narrative conceit and the technical mastery at play. So impressive. And I almost skipped because the title wasn’t interesting and I hadn’t seen any buzz around it.

Ever stop listening to a song because you’ve listened to it so many times, and years go by, and then it pops up and you remember how much you love it? Me right now with Phoenix’s “1901”

It’s crazy, but also par for the course, that the “arguments” that attempt to defend Duterte and justify the killing of tens of thousands are also extra-judicial, out of scope, and overly emotional. For supporters of such a supposedly hyper-macho figure, man, they are all just so emotional.

Watching The Pitt. Fantastic, high-octane. I didn’t know I wanted to see it, I wouldn’t have asked for it. But man, I’m torn between bingeing now and waiting for more episodes. Side note, now that I am middle aged and have to take my BP and get tests all the time, I understand some things lol

I’ve reached that age where scrolling through IG when I see posts about indulgent, amazing-looking food, instead of saying “where do I get that” I think “oh my I don’t think that would be good for me given my maintenance meds.”

Last night at the gym, I discovered I forgot my workout clothes. Ran into a store, saw a discount rack with shirts, grabbed an XL, then back to gym. During class I look in the mirror and realize it’s a woman’s top. Slit up the back. I said, you can pull off this top. And just went with it.

If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models. Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.
