People buy bad stuff all the time (genai). So put out your stuff. People might as well buy your bad stuff. At least it's bad stuff made by a person.

Call it optimism or hubris, banking our careers on the rejection of "aiSlop" by the masses was a mistake. The illusion of quality is increasing. The perceived value of our work is decreasing, despite it fueling the former. We are in a do or die moment and I'm worried we waited too long to do.

Jes Negrón @jesn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I've fought for writers' rights since the beginning of my career. I need y'all to believe me when I say that writers across industries are in denial about genai's progress. At this point, it can do what we do well enough to be profitable, and it is getting better every day. We are in danger.

Collections of studios owned and run by Black People. I'm sure there are some I missed, so please let me know (please double-check that they are owned by black people), and I will add them. Don't just follow them; check out their games. This list is about equity and ownership. go.bsky.app/4wfgP11

That's cool. I'm sure all the BitReactor devs that were furloughed weeks before launch are gonna see some of that $50 million... right? Residuals are standard in other creative industries. If the people who actually made the game got their share of the profits, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Conversely, most positive reviews of my game praise it as "diverse," which tickles me because no it isn't. All the characters are Puerto Rican.

Jes Negrón @jesn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Most negative reviews of my game have this sentiment, which tickles me because... yeah.

Review screenshot which reads: The more I think about this game, the more unsatisfied I feel. The unfortunate message that "if you are a victim of domestic violence, the best you can hope for is to have the suspicious circumstances of your death be unremarked upon" is not particularly great. Really bad aftertaste. Still
100%d tho

Subtext exists and is a really good tool actually. Just use responsibly. Should there be subtext in your novel, movie, poem, painting, sculpture, embroidery, or other kind of art or entertainment you're making? Fuck yeah, go for it. Should subtext exist in insurance forms? NO. Context!

Folks, the key to managing writers well is really simple: Understand that 80% of being a writer is staring into space while our brains process 1M ideas a second. Don't mistake busy work for productivity. Let us stare.

most video games can be boiled down to playing dolls and, as a rule, the more a video game lets you play dolls, the better it is

I enjoy Dropout so much, but Make Some Noise is imo the weakest offering. And not because the concept isn't mint (it is). It's because the contestants never just want to play the fucking game. The game is the point. Instead we get an hour of 3 people ignoring the format to do random character work.

I think a lot of game teams don't understand the microaggression of playing a game and coming across lines that make you sigh deeply and think "This was definitely written by a white person." The cognitive dissonance between our life experiences is exhausting.

As a Puerto Rican, that anyone is surprised about the US stance on Palestine baffles me. Like duh the country torturing its own active colonies is not going to give a shit.
