The bill has been opened to feedback. Rather than dooming about the proposal, you can tell them exactly how you feel about the act here. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... With how much of an uphill battle Chat Control is having, you should never assume it's worthless to fight these draconian bills.

I think, if I’m being honest with myself, this is the main reason I refuse to touch these things. More so than being environmentally dilligent, even more so than wanting to avoid being a thief. I am very good at my job. I enjoy being very good at my job. I do not want to become less good at my job

Productivity as an adult is just an endless process of applying new psychological tricks and operant conditioning to yourself until an acceptable number of tasks are completed.

It’s a wide range of things, like specific character tags (DROW or RANGER) to cinematic information, use of a particular item, etc.

It’s very easy to just write dialogue in Final Draft and not actually make something that is interactable, engaging, etc.

that one video game writer @deathmeetauthor.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yeah, this is vital. Having the ability on BG3 to block out my own quests, add tags/hookups, and test in-engine on the fly was the only way to iterate at the speed we needed to. Obviously we had many talented designers for very complex implementation, but you had to at least know the engine.

I will simply say I am seeing exactly this situation play out right now in a different field. Work that would have taken about 3 weeks start to finish via traditional methods is now into week 6 and still in what amounts to first draft territory

I do wish more games would let players fail immediately and learn it is not the end of the world, rather than putting up successively clunky guardrails to prevent failure at all I think often of dying in my first 2 minutes of playing Disco Elysium and instantly knowing the game would be great

that's how a lot of Choice Of games do it as well! permanent failure states are very rare, it's just a division of progression

writing in games should be closely linked with personification and progression. when we do level design we consider and manage the flow of the player’s attention, what to tempt with, what to highlight and what’s clutter. but it’s less common to give this sort of attention to narrative
