My stock response to the folks now saying they include “just a little AI” in their shitty games.
Buddy, if you used AI for some of it, I can only assume you used AI to do all of it. Hell, I assume you used AI to write this email.

Hardest of passes.

Ai bros hate artists because deep down they know they have no goals, no dreams, & nothing that they truly love. It’s a dark void that eats & gnaws at them so they lash out at those that have that spark. All they want is to drag you down with them to prove that it’s all hopeless

Our own President saying Iran should be allowed to just strike LA or San Diego (while his army of reprobates cheer) should be the thing that concerns me and pisses me of the most. What's actually doing it is I know this will be just one more "cuh-raazy" news item that everyone forgets inside a week.

Wading into "political bluesky," one thing is abundantly clear: too many Gen X/Baby Boomers on here filled to the brim with useless slogans, platitudes, brainlessly posting empty Facebook memes, etc. who seem more interested in "The Fight™," not so much working towards a real, definitive end to it.

I mean let's be real here. I'd probably beat up AI users on the streetz. Not really, but maybe. At the very least I already know I can take them and that's enough. Bitches can't move without Claude telling them what to do

Another day, another "I'm done with AAA." It's one the easiest decisions I've ever had to make at this point. Long-standing studios, long-standing franchises, "all dat shit ya grew up with™," etc. Completely meaningless in the face of this bullshit, that you know WILL be shat into everything.

So much of this GenAI Slop era has felt like "Peaked In Grade School: Strikes Back," so when I saw a flood of "far more 40-somethings then young people, embrace AI" posts over on X this week, I'm just like "well yeah." It's all the dipshits you haven't thought about since 12th grade (30+ years ago)

You know what really just grinds my gears? "Couples Day" at the gym. You never know when it's gonna happen, but when it does it's the most annoying day at the gym, all quarter. And somehow you NEVER miss it. You're always there on the day.

Just went through and deleted all gamedev/asset posts from here (was more than I thought.) Can't just have this stuff sitting out freely anymore when any dipshit using AI can riff a shitty vibecoded mobile game off of a screenshot. So what could possibly be the solution to this problem we all face?

Also nobody seems to get that both these groups are working for the same entity. Just to clarify, "AI WILL DESTROY US ALL LIKE SKYYYNETTTTT ARRRGH HYPE HYPE HYYPE!!" people & those of us against GenAI slop/theft, & want to see heavy oversight (OUTSIDE the companies,) etc. are not the same camp.

Just for shits and over the course of a couple months, I created three new accounts on X™, one after the other. ALL I did on these accounts, was politely contradict AI zealots whenever I saw something ridiculous. Every account got hit with the "we need your selfie" crap, inside 72 hours. 🙄

I'm just re-affirming this here just so that it's here: I'm anti GenAI in all forms of media, and it is going to be that way in perpetuity. There will be no x years down the line where I'm all "acktually I found a good use case for-" no. Fuck that, fuck them. (I got dates in fuckin' Reno, maaan)

We’re not going to let greedy developers bully their way into our communities in order to build reckless AI data centers. If you want to build here in Pennsylvania, you’re going to need to follow the strictest standards in the nation — or you better find somewhere else.

I think as a consumer, I'm officially Anti (Western) AAA games, now. There's just nothing. The industry just feels scummy and FUBAR. The games are all the same re-skinned 3rd person over the shoulder game. Anything else: I just don't care. I'll play Xenoblades for the rest of my life.
