I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!
A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

Clicking Google's fun whimsical throwback logo today sends you to an AI chat pre-filled with a goofy prompt and immediately hits you with a warning that it is potentially dangerous to continue. You couldn't make a better commentary on how badly they have fucked up the internet if you tried.

TLDR * "AI will kill us all" messaging in the press will last *exactly* as long as it benefits the tech companies, then stop * You will *not* be killed by a skynet super-AI * You are somewhat likely to be killed by AI-related global warming * You are very, very likely to be killed by an AI taxi

About to start working on a new book, but I still think this one panel from Fake Blood might be the best thing I've ever drawn in my life. For the uninitiated: Fake Blood is about a kid who pretends to be a vampire to impress his vampire-obsessed crush, which goes about as well as you'd expect.
Two comic book panels with a girl in plaid and a red hat with ear flaps on the left, and a boy with purple hair on the right. They sit at a lunch table and the girl says, "Dude, you went all out. It's a big improvement." Indicating the boy's new outfit. The second panel the boy shouts, "THANKS!" As he shows off his fake plastic fangs. The word thanks looks like spit flying from his mouth.

Didn't win, unsurprisingly since I completely ignored the brief, but still placed. Counting it as a win myself tho, I was able to spend the day doing what I want instead of burning 1000L of diesel to try and cajole a machine into sort of doing a sloppy version of something akin to what I want.

The Verge reporting implies you can just not agree to OnStar, but I've read user complaints—possibly before the GM settlement—that their driving data was used without being an OnStar subscriber. The radio is not dead switched until you agree to a TOS or anything. [citation needed lol]

That's likely part of it. I think the real story here is that PS isn't a traditional game publisher, since they'll profit at no risk off games they DON'T fund, so they're going to ask for a lot more of those they do, primarily exclusivity. Kojima's learned his lesson and won't budge on owning his IP

Because events in the last two years (closures of multiple studios after mega hits) indicates there is not a number high enough. That's what's totally broken about this all.

Roger @partlyhuman.com · 11/09/2026
Well, DS didn't lose money, but nonetheless, traditionally game publishers are in the business of publishing games, which sometimes involves risk. The question is, what is considered a good return on their investment?

Roger @partlyhuman.com · 11/09/2026
It's true, it's not like he WON'T bring his game to PS, so they can spend $0, take zero risk, and collect their basic rev share on every sale. If all you're looking at is bottom line and not thinking about investing in your platform, it's a cold calculus but it's true.
