honestly the most depressing thing to me is that we have to talk about this again and again and again and again and again. how to teach men to have human feelings, how to get people to believe us

I love being a games writer because I’m sat here with my head in my hands agonising over whether a character should say “balls” or “bollocks”

Horror nonfiction of the day
DiSabatino decided to call "Crystal" at Blue Angel and get some insight into the orders.
When he was connected, to him she simply didn't sound like a real person. He suspected he was speaking to a bot. When he asked what lue Angel wanted with his books, he says,
"It giggled. It kept just doing this coy giggle." When pressed, DiSabatino says that Crystal replied, "We offer many services. We are collecting books for a library."

The old games industry is dying. The new games industry is struggling to be born. Now is the time of absolutely batshit corporate decision-making.

And of course this seems a reasonable moment to remind people that I am not seeing them so much as being one of them - my current employment ends Feb. So if you'd like to hire a classicist/historical games specialist, now's the time!

The best example of this still comes from Pillars of Eternity.
A dialogue box featuring a scarred monk asking, “Are you- Are you real?”

The available options are:

1. “Yes.”
2. [Lie] “No.”
3. [Lie] “Yes.”
4. “No.”
5. “Now that you ask, I’m not so sure.”
6. “There is no way to be certain.”

See also: sponsored internships. Many universities have grants for their students to work and get paid, EU has several schemes for that as well. And having an industry- and project-outsider’s eyes on your project will benefit it well enough to justify the time spent teaching the student.

My first solo-author article, Is the Far-Right Anti-Science?, is now published in Social Epistemology. It explores the far-right’s epistemic struggle to claim scientific authority, attacking and co-opting science to legitimise white supremacy & misogyny—an issue academia must increasingly attend to

it is *so* cool Like if coolness was distilled and then you drank its pure essence Just look at the freaking art style Ghhhgh
A man in yellow suit-and-trousers and a girl in a top and a skirt sit to the sides of three majestic black cats. The cats are impossible to tell apart. The entire image looks like a comic book illustration from I want to say eighties?? Nineties??? Balancing perfectly between stylization and realism. Star, if you’re reading this, what is this style called?

There are many games who become worse on purpose out of this primal anxiety to risk the player becoming upset at their own actions. And I think it's bad design philosophy, and it's bad life philosophy too. If we don't want players to act like toddlers, then we shouldn't treat them like toddlers.

Chantal is a poet of games in the sense that she find the sharpest, the most efficient way to conjure an emotion in her audience. A lot of the time it is fear, but there are many moments of humour, intrigue, and serendipitous beauty. Really urging you to attend this talk if you can make it!

“Books are bought out by a nefarious company and shipped to a place where their spirit is ripped out and bodies destroyed“ reads like a Michael Ende draft that got discarded for being too on the nose
That ruling is seen as a key reason Al firms are seeking older European books, which booksellers suspect are being shipped to the United States in large quantities.
