"Video games don't want to exist [..] Just by default, they resist existing. They do everything wrong. By force of will, we'll just kind of tear them into shape, patting them down, just trying to contain this chaotic thing." www.gamesradar.com/games/game-d...

This is me. I'm actively tech detoxing, a thing I never imagined I would want.

As a social worker that worked with families in the past…landlords like that is common..NASTY FUCKING behavior….and they we the very ones calling CPS when they don’t want fix shit in the unit…I hate it

Trying to get into your denim pants after a holiday feast

what

do not travel to the united states

I hate it here

So that AI-generated “Summer Reading List” full of made up books illustrates an important fact about AI art & writing we need to wrap our heads around. Because the easy story is “greedy corporate paper replaces humans with AI slop”. But that’s not what happened here, or in a lot of similar cases.

I love how willing Fuji is to take risks and make fun shit.

Fired this back up last night. I dug it when it came out and they've definitely improved it. One of those games that would have completely rewritten my identity if it had come out when I was a kid.

Brian Eno calls on Microsoft to cease its partnership with Israel and pledges to donate the original fee for his Windows '95 chime to victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza

from my upcoming "Era of the Business Idiot" newsletter going out in the next day or two wheresyoured.at

How ironic…

"People who have invested billions in AI are convinced it was a good investment"

Characterd who are self-driven, have agency, and choose to get involved Suddenly being revealed later on that there is a REASON they’re special and a REASON why only they could do this “You seemed like a self-made hero but actually you have the BLOOD of DRAGONS in you”

My latest piece goes out either Monday or Tuesday next week, it's called "The Era of the Business Idiot." I believe our society is in the thrall of middle management, and it's turned our economy into a series of symbolic gestures between people that don't really know what's going on. Wheresyoured.at

Ignoring all the issues I have with the production of this show, the entire point of the games is the player's complicity in the cycle of violence. The whole enterprise is built on choosing to commit violence. It was a problem in S1 and it's a WAY BIGGER problem in S2.

Land acknowledgement in a ketamine clinic ad on Lex is just. If I wrote it as a joke scenario it would be critiqued as “a little on the nose”

god it makes me vibrate with rage when people are like “well, ai is here, so we have no choice but to use it.” like okay the traffic outside my apartment is here so i have no choice but to walk into it i guess

This whole piece is great but this particular passage by @lexluddy.xyz is exactly why I keep dipping in and out of writing about my favourite art form www.rewinder.co.uk/video-game-m...

"Sailing to Byzantium" is a short story I really hope that you'll read, and also that you'll forgive me for it's in issue 4 of Fusion Fragment www.fusionfragment.com/issue-4/

In a final nod to the Russian Revolution, Tony Gilroy did “there are weeks where decades happen” #Andor

The first Wambsgans in video game history

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

Amazing news for Giant Bomb

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

I hope the writer of this article learns to love themselves

Generations are bubbles and this feels like a call for help. You're going to age but you're going to be fine. You can laugh at yourself and those around you. The younger ones are the folks who wish to be taken seriously, and one day they too will learn that nothing is as serious as we make it.

Great writing mocking AI is my new drug

I ❤️ researching stuff

Gonna need a movie or play about this ASAP

Excuse me?
