Good stance from the excellent Yarn Spinner team. For ink, our position is equally simple - ink’s there to make it easier for people to write. AI buttons don’t help as you have to avoid clicking them or you’ve suddenly got loads of extra deleting to do (gmail recently proved this empirically)

Sorry we couldn't talk about story stuff in the livestream this time around 😭 but the #SWTOR narrative team is working extra hard on some seriously cool story that I think will be worth the wait 💜

This is a question I see people ask a lot about #SWTOR! If you are a not currently playing, is it worth it to try out the game in 2025? As a long-time player I put together a big list of answers that might help you or a friend decide if the game is a good match 😊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqH0...

Tiptoeing down a path of creative work like, "what if this is the wrong direction?" Dude, just sprint in that direction, even if it does end up being the wrong path you got some cardio out of it.

I'm now looking for a new writing/narrative position. It's been a privilege to work with so many amazing devs over my 20 years at BioWare, and I will cherish the memories of the wonderful folks in the community I've met along the way. Thank you all.

The point of the firehose of Executive Orders is to disorient and to demobilize. It's to instill maximum fear. If we know this, then that's already half the battle. This means that we have to respond with focus on those most vulnerable & targets. It means we have to refuse their attempt to scare us.

your reminder that every year some of the absolute best games you've never heard of win at the IGFs and going down the nominee list is a great way to discover utterly FANTASTIC art.

Did they ever explain the in-universe reason the baby shoes were never worn? I know there are fan theories or whatever but did they ever actually address it in a spin-off? Or are the writers being lazy again 🙄

In my dad's Midwest suburban neighborhood there are already so many data centers, but "only one good restaurant". Data centers are popping up everywhere that land is cheaper, replacing homes, guzzling energy and water, and creating sound levels that disrupt the ecosystem. All AI has a cost.

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)
