Oh no...
Unfortunately, another one of those announcements with text on a somber background color. We're stopping the activity of our studio, Nerial.

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!
From the article: 
"I think that until the bubble bursts, AI will be used by quite a few game companies, and perhaps even beyond the bubble," says Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games, which released the RPG Demonschool last year. "Look, I am not a fool – I understand that AI has some uses. Primary among those being the devaluing of work, the cheapening of labour, the laying off of creatives, and the generation of busywork for humans to fix whatever AI generates."

"It's also useful for burning through water, raising the prices of RAM and chipsets globally, and poisoning anyone near the data centres that run them. So there are a lot of use cases for AI. From spurring on the death of the creative endeavour to dissolving our economy, AI is absolutely gangbusters at what it does. We don't use it in our studio though."

20 hours into cyberpunk, and what stands out is the complete AUTHORSHIP. No filler, very little repetition. Ungodly expensive at this level of fidelity, but I think it points to where stuff is heading post ai-slop. Artisan sourced, devkit to table, human shit. A move away from value = hours

I realised today that I never joined in any craft projects from Blue Peter as a kid because I never had any “sticky back plastic” or even knew what it was. It was Sellotape, wasn’t it?

Finally watched Alien Romulus. It tries too hard and it was occasionally silly, but I didn’t hate it as much as I expected… Until the last 20 minutes! Now I want to blow it out of the goddamn airlock and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

I've been getting back into a hobby project over the hols, but it's been a bit "old man yelling at cloud". I want to use a lib. It has language bindings. The bindings need to be generated. The generator needs to be built. In python. I don't have python. I get python. The build fails. I'm tired.

I’m genuinely loving the knock-off Bluey advent calendar from my mother-in-law. Meet Blowy, Bignu and Random Green Octopus. Can’t wait for day 4.
Some seriously terrible figurines from a fake Bluey advent calendar. Bluey’s horribly disfigured and her eyes are all wonky. Bingo isn’t much better. And there’s a green octopus. For some reason. 🤷‍♂️

The average patience of an Amazon delivery driver and the length of time it takes me to walk from my upstairs office to the front door differs by around five seconds.
