In a world seemingly nose-diving into inauthentic oblivion, this is a beautiful piece of art about people just trying to get someone closure, and their stories of community and loss. Did not expect that from a Geoguessr channel, but I guess humanity is found wherever it wants to be found […]

That last series of toots is all to speak to something complicated. I grieve for the end of something amazing, and am tired of those who seem happy driving the bulldozers. I'm torn between trying to savour authentic creation while it's still possible, or giving up quickly and finding something […]

They want you to think their "product" will destroy us all because that does two key things: * It ensures their ponzi scheme stays afloat by propagating the notion it's infinitely valuable, ensuring power is consolidated and preserved * It all but guarantees that free open development and […]

This might be a good moment to also announce that PMG has been following the Blizzard unions through this process for nearly two years now and in early 2027 you’ll be able to watch our documentary on the fight that took place to get this historic contract over the line.

What I really appreciate about this video is that PMG shows the emotional and human cost for how the executives at Rockstar chose to fire these workers. They could have approached it MANY different ways, but they chose to inflict maximum harm. That shows you what kind of people they are.

From the Unity 7 announcement: "If your studio has committed to keeping AI out of your creative work—you're not on the sidelines of this release". This is quite disingenuous. From what I've been made aware of Unity internally is going super hard on AI in developing the engine itself - with […]
