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…

It’s a case of being conditioned to having too much information lol imagine how much trust we had to have before. I don’t know what’s right, but I am searching for a magic middle

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.

We should be calling it out for what it is. But also, we need to stop hanging our hopes on the US, especially under this kind of regime. Hard to imagine for others I guess, but there are other countries than US and China, and there have to be other ways to conduct geopolitics than this

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

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!

Gutted by the cut to funding for US public media. I grew up on PBS and my own career and trajectory have been informed and inspired by NPR.

Responsible and Ethical AI is a topic that’s really heating up, especially in the last few weeks with AI-powered disinformation operations. I got to talk a little bit about key concepts and more here open.spotify.com/episode/3Efq...

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.

What platform is that? I think I just rage quit from all the pricing tiers at some point haha. Or maybe I miss the days of I give money and I get cartridge

I’m very privileged to have been invited by the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines (FOCAP) to deliver this lecture on #ArtificialIntelligence and Visual Journalism. If you have time this Tuesday morning come through and join the conversation!

just to play and enjoy the full features of a game. I’m a solo player, I enjoy time to myself to explore and lose myself in games. The higher price I would happily play to have a peaceful experience the way I want it.

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

What would make me happy to pay more for games is if, after dropping the full retail cost, I didn’t have to pay anything else. No more microstransactions, no more selling me stuff in game to get ahead, and biggest thing for me, no requiring me to be online and paying for a subscription

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

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

For all they I enjoyed The Accountant 2, I just have to say, there was much more accounting in the first film.

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?

You have friends that you deeply, truly, sincerely love, but if you worked with them, you would 100% fire them? lol

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’ve been in here almost an hour. I feel my life force being sucked out by this unnecessary waiting

I made a 90s playlist for a young friend (in her mid-20s). I realize the time gap would be the same as someone handing me a Beatles tape in the 90s. Oh my back and knees.

There really something about watching bands play live, where others might seek meditation, I feel like a drop in the ocean amidst the loud loud music

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!

Yeah man knowing it’s a vampire flick you know. But the joy and beauty of the early parts. I actually want to watch that music sequence in loop, so beautiful. Also would love to see this as a thing with an extended universe. Like a class Underworld lol

No one can ever pass the purity test. But unfortunately liberals and progressive expect too much from their leaders, while the other side expects very little and are happy when given even less. And on the other side, opposite of purity testing where womanizing, corruption, etc are lionized

What’s your read on potential here? I’ve been trying to write an essay. And I think it’s a lot of roadblocks like infrastructure, need for cameras and sensors, and the fact that people drive crazy and fast so reaction time would be hard. But I’m still working through the ideas

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

Thanks for the warning. So far it’s alright here but FB is a minefield

Yeah the first one! Second one I’m waiting for a Steam release

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

Avoiding other social platforms because people keep posting spoilers from TLOU. I think if it were airing on Sunday nights I could catch it, but Monday mornings in the Philippines, man, I gots work

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

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

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

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

We should really be developing and advancing our regional alliances. Because we can’t rely on the US to uphold commitments

Fair. I think Joshua Tree is peak U2. But even these three post-peak albums are brilliant for me. They didn’t do the same thing, they experimented and a lot of it turned out good (at least to my ears)

110

Carl @carljavier.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

I know it’s easy to hate on U2 these days. But hear me out: Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop are a god-tier trio of albums.

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!!!!
