A little over two years ago, I successfully gaslighted myself into believing "hey if anyone can make money with Skyrim mods to fund their indie studio - it's gotta be you, champ." Sometimes, things do work out the way we want them to!!

The perfect way to put it. They found a way to worm a subscription between you and your normal work.

A screenshot of a post on Threads by Joe Hill. The post reads: "Here’s a thought about the purveyors of AI. They aren’t selling assistance—they’re selling dependency. You give up on acquiring one skill after another, give up on the knotty, meaningful struggle to acquire those skills and AI takes over. It isn’t freeing up time so you can make more of yourself. It’s encouraging cognitive surrender so you can be less."

The thing they don't tell you when you pitch a branching side quest with a cool lesbian subplot, is that you also have to write and implement the lesbophobic bad ending

Make not opposing genocide hurt more than Israel works to make opposing genocide hurt. Make it hurt politicians' odds. Make it hurt artists' sales. Make it hurt medias' reputation. Make it hate platforms' revenues. Make it career-endingly devastating to stand there and "both sides" mass murder.

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

Thinking that most talks should be about failures and mistakes. Hearing someone tell you "we were very lucky and succeeded" is very rarely relevant IMO.

If an Al future is what I'm getting left behind from, then Christ, just leave me behind.
A girl can only pivot so much, hoss, and I hung up my pivotin' boots some time ago. I don't make videos even though that was supposedly the future of writing ten years ago — I mean, I guess I do, but they're little banjo practice videos for my friends, not expressions of a desperate careerist impulse. I use social media with the attention-crazed dopesickness of an addict, not the care and forethought of a professional, as any cursory read of my posts will confirm. I'm a writer by trade — a creative, as you might say — and here you are, running a business you don't even understand into the ground, deskilling my trade and expecting a thank you when you explain how you're doing it. If I don't devalue myself the way you continually devalue me, you warn, l'll be left behind. Okay, says I! Quit making it my problem and go! The dust you leave me in will settle, and in the meantime, I will keep doing my work in much the way I've done it since | first became literate.

Metal Gear Solid. I loved both Dishonored games, so it's not an issue with stealth in general, but I just don't get MGS. I tried 3, 4 and soldier'd through maybe 10 hours of V but it still didn't click. The misogyny and Kojima's name plastered absolutely everywhere didn't help either.

Many years ago, when I first started writing for The Dark Side (Britain's oldest horror mag) we had a bit of a friendly pub quiz rivalry with Empire magazine for a while. We kept losing though. Until one week we discovered a secret weapon. /1

Someone told me "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

The modern conservative hates winning more than losing. There are no games journalists left, all the devs have been fired and everyone in a position of influence is terrified of offending reactionaries. They got what they asked for, and they still hate it! Because a woman said a thing!

Game design and fiction writing are, for whatever reason, two jobs that most people think they could do instantly at a high standard, with zero experience or evidence. I don’t know if it was a smart idea to focus on both as a profession. Certainly an occasionally frustrating idea.

I keep seeing arguments for games being expensive due to hyper realistic expectations for art, or simply lots of art. What I don’t see is the actual most costly reason: Indecision Iteration is good, but the yearly rebuilding of entire characters, storylines, and levels, is the most expensive thing
