Tyler J. Graham @tylerjgraham.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Imagine wanting “infinite personalized music.” I prefer the alternative, i.e. waiting six years for The Strokes to put out a new album just for it to be overly autotuned garbage. That’s real, that’s raw, that’s human, baybee. That’s how it should be. 010
Tyler J. Graham @tylerjgraham.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Some of these are crushing… I had to go with TDM, but I feel like I’m forsaking all of the FFA classics like Unreal and Quake. Some of these were no brainers for me though, like Conquest, Payload, CTF. Any mode that forces a team to play a role and make a concerted push in order to win is top tier. 221

Tyler J. Graham @tylerjgraham.bsky.social · 19/08/2026It’s a Valnet site, so the people there are likely considered “contractors” instead of employees and are churning this out for like $15/article. There’s no AI involved, they just pay less than minimum wage and have writers pump out SEO slop. 110
Tyler J. Graham @tylerjgraham.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Hell, my girlfriend puts a ton of the stuff on not just because of the health reasons, but also because it apparently prevents early skin aging and wrinkles. Plenty of reasons for literally everyone to put sunscreen on (I just wish that goop wasn’t such a sensory nightmare to apply). 040
Tyler J. Graham @tylerjgraham.bsky.social · 06/08/2026The A24 production company had no involvement with Mickey 17, and writer and director Bong Joon Ho specifically said in an interview for that film that he doesn’t want to use gen AI in scripts, ever. Maybe there was something I missed — what source did you hear about Mickey 17 AI use from? 370

Tyler J.

Tyler J. Graham @tylerjgraham.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Eve Online is one of the OG games that intertwined play with real-world economic interests and I’m convinced that that has to be one of the driving forces behind this decision. 010
Tyler J. Graham @tylerjgraham.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Haha, no worries — I totally hear you dude. I think I maybe attended one of the same virtual events as you?

Tyler J. Graham @tylerjgraham.bsky.social · 11/04/2026This resonates with me because some of the only things that comfort a truly rampant bout of anxiety for me are turning off my brain and locking in on Tetris and/or my favorite FPS game at any given moment.

Tyler J. Graham @tylerjgraham.bsky.social · 05/03/2026I think since the games industry/gamers are so, so often needlessly cruel, some people like, “overcorrect” and reject all criticisms in the indie space.
