This is doing the rounds, so I do want to re-iterate with as much emphasis as I can, nothing kills my interest in a game faster than seeing AI generated content. And not just because I object to AI on an ethical level, I see it as a huge red flag. Do *ANYTHING* else, draw placeholder MS Paint art.

This week has not been fun. What started as feeling sick enough to take a sick day ended me up in the ER. I’m okay but certainly glad to see the week end. Many fluids, blood tests and a CT scan later sent me home with a bag full of meds. I was then horribly sick in bed for the rest of the week.

I'm tired of being asked to speak about how to fix the industry. Genuinely, do white men get interviewed about this? Because I'm over it as a question directed at the people who didn't break it. I don't know. Ask them.

I held off needing to post a post like this but TLDR, I've got a very sick cat in hospital and while I have insurance for him, I'm not sure how much they are going to cover.
