ok thank you jun takeuchi
“‘Requiem’ isn’t just a title chosen for its meaning of ‘requiem,'” said Takeuchi via GamesRadar. “The spelling of Requiem (REQUIEM) contains not only the ‘RE (response)’ … but also a ‘Q (question).’ In other words, this ‘Requiem’ presents both an ‘answer’ and a ‘question.’ I will explain the meaning of that at some point in the future.”

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Heck yeah.
Human-made over 5 years

No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

Something deep inside me told me I should draw Donkey Kong today.
A four panel comic titled "Hours, Bananas, Doors."
Donkey Kong awakens staring at himself in a mirror, then stares down at his hand as he notices a strange watch on his wrist.
Staring at his wrist, the watch turns out to be one of the numbered bracelets from 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors from the Zero Escape series. It's Junpei's bracelet. For some reason.
Peach then asks a confused Donkey Kong, "Donkey Kong? Have you ever heard of the Parallel Banana Theory?"

The cluelessness of this reminds me a lot of the NFT grift. The thing about NFTs was that it was mainly something finance bros were into, and when they were trying to worm their way into gaming, their pitches were an abyssal trench of bad ideas because they couldn't grasp why people played games.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Mi último rebluit no se deja mencionar, así que lo dejo dicho aquí aparte y en castellano: ✨Coged la costumbre✨ de borrar la última parte de los links que acaban con una interrogación y luego caracteres random. Son marcas para saber quién comparte qué con quién.
Meme de los Simpson en el que un conductor de autobús dice "no me hagas volver a señalar el cartel". En la segunda viñeta, señala el cartel y en él se lee: borra todo lo que va detrás de la interrogación en una URL para que no nos rastreen al hacer clic en ella.

United Tech & Allied Workers (a part of the Communication Workers’ Union) AI Workers Inquiry 2026, from the executive summary, their policy essentials. techworkersinquiry.org/ai/
The emerging policy directions are:

Transparency alone would not be enough; workers need meaningful consultation and negotiation over AI deployments.
AI use must not be mandatory; workers need legal protections from detriment for refusing AI use, and employers limited in AI-driven management decisions.
Safeguards against AI externalities; strong regulations to ensure the AI we build does not harm people and planet.
Stop the brain drain; establish and defend AI-free learning pathways for junior and graduate workers.
Workers get the final say; bake in collective bargaining over AI at work.

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.
