"Direct your dream game" says Unity Y'all game direction is many things but I can guarantee you that "genre + setting" is not game direction for anyone who has been a game director even just for 5 minutes Which should tell you enough about who made this, and whether you should trust them with this

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

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.

In 99% of cases you're better off with A Bad Decision than with everybody idling waiting for a decision, or with a decision that continues being litigated six ways by four people, or with a decision that you feel is temporary. You're going to put paint to the canvas or not, you can't "maybe kinda".

Honestly I think like 50% of the Teams 101 course is just me saying this in 30 different ways with 15 different methods of making sure everybody on your team understands that decisions are made to be executed on, not argued about further, that's the whole-ass point of it being a decision.

When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

there are no 'correct' grounds for being a socialist to people with a vested interest in defending the capitalist order. if you're poor, you're lazy. if you're middle class, you're envious. if you're wealthy, you're hypocritical. it's all a goalpost-moving shell game.

Karl Marx in 1870.
And most important of all! Every industrial and
commercial centre in England now possesses a
working class divided into two hostile camps,
English proletarians and Irish proletarians. The
ordinary English worker hates the Irish worker as a
competitor who lowers his standard of life. In
relation to the Irish worker he regards himself as a
member of the ruling nation and consequently he
becomes a tool of the English aristocrats and
capitalists against Ireland, thus strengthening their
domination over himself. He cherishes religious,
social, and national prejudices against the Irish
worker. His attitude towards him is much the same
as that of the "poor whites" to the Negroes in the
former slave states of the U.S.A. The Irishman pays
him back with interest in his own money. He sees in
the English worker both the accomplice and the
stupid tool of the English rulers in Ireland.
This antagonism is artificially kept alive and
intensified by the press, the pulpit, the comic
papers, in short, by all the means at the disposal of
the ruling classes. This antagonism is the secret of
the impotence of the English working class,
despite its organisation. It is the secret by which the
capitalist class maintains its power. And the latter is
quite aware of this.

Every dollar billionaire JK Rowling makes is a dollar she will spend on destroying the lives of trans people - a scapegoating driven by Epstein-class billionaires to distract us from the ultra-rich draining our wealth, killing our planet, sabotaging social cohesion, and destroying dissent.

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

The push for Harry Potter the TV show is going to be completely enormous—they're debuting it on fucking Christmas—and it is the responsibility of TV critics to contextualize this as rewarding the world's most transphobic billionaire (which is saying something) in everything we write about it.
