As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Pretty cool news for #gamedev projects. Already a great tool for personal note organization. Since files are plain text markdown, if combined with version control, you now have a project wiki maintainable by the entire team. Plus, you get strong review and revision history systems on top of that.

I picked up "How Civil Wars Start" because of couple of skeets by @premeemohamed.com talking about it. It's definitely a lot. I was motivated to write a substantial review summarizing some of the main arguments of the book. Please take a look and I really recommend reading the full book. 💙📚 🗃️

Need some light Saturday reading? I've got you. For @ign.com I wrote about THE DEVIL'S GIFT (1984), how it may or may not have been influenced by Stephen King's "The Monkey" (c'mon), and then was cut down into another movie by the same director that appeared on MST3K. #HorrorSky
