What if narrative designers were allowed to make a structure that writers had more iterative agency in? They could write it and see it in the game in the next minute? Me and @bmitsoda.bsky.social have always worked that way, it’s a barrier that writers cannot operate this way in all game tools

Seeing lots of folks talking about “ethical non-mahogany” these days and I get it, I really do But if you find a reputable supplier with restorative practices, it’s still a gorgeous choice of wood That said, I also see the same folks talking about “reclaiming,” which is fair; great for upcycling!

Hey! As someone that lives in Pittsburgh, this is really bad! The University and the subsequent medical institutions that built themselves around the University were the primary reason Pittsburgh was able to bounce back after the steel mills closed!

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus. Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet. Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

I just read the actual study and it doesn't say anywhere that teenagers DON'T want romantic or sexual content or are adverse to it. What it DOES state is that they want those themes to be meaningful and not an expected outcome when it comes to portraying close friendships.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

It's wild how every single post that escapes containment follows the same escalating pattern. People who get it-->people who get it but make it weird-->people who don't get it-->people who not only don't get it, but somehow reach the conclusion that it says the opposite of what it says

Yes! Narratives are built in a readers head. If you tell them something they probably won’t remember it - if you hint and they figure it out, they’ll never forget it

the worst part about the cult of LLMs is that the people on here end up conflating LLMs with other useful forms of machine learning

2000s and 2010s feminism really failed to bring men along for the ride. Practically, the “yes all men” rhetoric bit us in the butt. As hannah arendt says, “When all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits”

video game journalism is like 27 people right now. if you're still complaining about it you're no different to an 18th century farmer blaming vampires for an unremarkable crop yield

Casual reminder that a game having mixed reviews might not mean it's actually bad, it might mean that it's tailored close enough to your personal dream game preferences to actively put other prople off it

A bright light in a dark moment: The price of the critical TB drug bedaquiline has now dropped to $90 per adult treatment course for TB, a 54% reduction since just 2023. This is a huge win for @tbfighters.org and the TB activism community generally. www.stoptb.org/what-we-do/f... (1/2)...

If you would like to play a short, beautiful, hand-animated platformer where comforting your dog is a gameplay mechanic, then may I recommend Neva. Also not 100% sure you’d call it a dog. Maybe a Wolfalope?

It’s a popular misconception that Ada Lovelace was the first computer programmer. She was third. Both babbage and menabrea wrote programs before her. Her program is the first to contain features akin to variables, loops and recursion. Important firsts, but not the first program.

This one’s really funny to me because in architecture school we’re taught everybody dislikes having their back towards a door and sitting in the middle of the restaurant. It’s why well designed restaurants don’t have free floating tables, but anchor them with shelter & prospect.
