iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It’s thematically appropriate by the end, too!!

Expedition 33 not putting an upper cap on how many Lumina Points a character can have is so funny and such a baller move. Just telling the player “yeah if you wanna grind for it go fucking nuts”. Good energy.

Wild that it took multiple women in the industry, and beyond, sharing a ResetEra thread to get this in front of people's eyes. That should never be the case. Absolutely abhorrent at all levels.

the defining games story of the last decade is when the dead cells team got a bunch of positive press for being a workers co-op but then the game was a huge hit and so they made a private company for all the new employees to scale up into while the “co-op” remained about ten people large lol

We used to release three reasonably-but-not-wildly evolved entries in a series on the same console. We called them "trilogies" and usually the second one involved giving the mascot a gun.

Congratulations to Jeremy, Eris, and all those at DULF, who put so much on the line to serve their community & save lives. Let this be the start of justice. From affordable housing, to harm reduction services, there is so much work to be done. The BC Greens are here to do that work with you.

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

I try to hammer this home in the unfortunately many conversations I have with non-creative normies about the state of games, animation, etc. They have all been lead to think AI is replacing us, and it’s just not true. The money people have by and large just tossed us aside for a shiny new toy!

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.
