in my experience there’s no combination of words that can unrape someone but hey maybe im wrong, maybe mine just didn’t apologize right.

just to clarify: he wasnt punished. he’s not a victim of the carceral state or retributive justice or the sex offender registry he is a privileged white guy who made some videos and said nice things about queer people, and got away with a sex crime he admitted to only after a record of it came out

probably just a coincidence that the people who will look better if his bad thing wasn’t so bad, are out here saying it’s not so bad.

Absofuckinglutely. So many game journalists think they get a pass for not knowing how to handle interviewing people about SA, and the information they get from those interviews. It makes me insane.

Today I heard someone use the Human Centipede as a way to explain why large model AI is inevitably heading towards its own self destruction by tainting its future inputs, and honestly? It was a beautiful teaching metaphor.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

call me old fashioned but when a movie opens with five minutes of unsimulated mouse torture, kinda colors my opinion of that director (tsui hark) forever. and the group holding the screening. (grand illusion)

seattle needs to learn what “too fucked up to consent” looks like. “i didn’t know, i couldn’t tell, she seemed fine.” bullshit. you took what you wanted and you knew its cost. keep your guilt. it can’t unfuck anyone. i hope it hurts for the rest of your life.

For the late crowd, your man got his first @gamespot.com article where I argue for putting Remedy’s immortality toggle from CONTROL in all games with combat

Put Remedy’s Immortality Toggle In All Games

An optional toggle to make more of us play games seems like a no-brainer, and I want to see more of it.

My work at The Flytrap is so important to me. I love the deep connections the worker-owners have formed with each other. I love being part of the indie media ecosystem. And on a personal level, I love being able to chase the stories and things I am interested in, like books coverage.

I saw this screenshot going around, found this detail charming, looked more into the game (I've never played a Silent Hill) & decided to buy it. Btw these are the "unimportant" background assets AI idiots think AI should be used for

Screenshot of a Twitter post by Val / @shegoingtogloat - it's a Silent Hill screenshot showing a close up of a cork board. On it, a paper says "Welcome to Shorefront Family Clinic" in a classic wiggly 3D font style. The tweet text is: Is this a Silent Hill asset made using PowerPoint lol"

When industry-wide unionization finally gets established in the video game industry in the states, we need to be prepared to support a long strike that will delay some of your favorite games. Cuz' that's what it's going to take to make these companies start giving a shit about their workers.
