I've seen a lot of programmers really disrespect themselves thinking that genAI is "fine" when it comes to coding or w/e because it's not "art" Programming is an art. It requires creativity. And you're literally programming graphics, it's visual art. It's just art. It counts. AI coding is AI "art"

His friends, mostly female, told him he was refreshingly attentive and trustworthy for a boy. Meanwhile he is grateful for the knowledge that female was best used as an adjective, that sexism harms me...

Refunding everyone and halting sales of another project will no doubt be a massive financial hit to LiC (an indie company!!), which makes it all the more admirable that they're doing this.

This sucks for many reasons. But I think it's worth emphasizing how selfish and duplicitous it is to go work with a public-facing, community-focused media org like MinnMax without disclosing this part of your past to them. (MinnMax confirmed to me they were not told.) Please support them if you can

Today (and this week in general) has very triggering for me as someone who has also experienced assault in college, and despite the terrible headspace, I’m glad to have friends and loved ones supporting me. May we all take care of each other.

Xbox is becoming a series of blobs that ate everyone. Halo and Rare going to Activision just seems insane to me as someone that grew up on those games, and Obsidian into Bethesda equally so. Let's not forget "our casual games go to King now". Consolidation maxing. So gross, so sad.

Only 1k+ layoffs to go in a 'reset' that is lasting months interspersed with the Kojima deal and pieces highlighting the CEO taking on support tickets. I would say all this does not fill one with confidence of success. But that relies on knowing the real end goal and that still seems up in the air.
