Goddammit, I’ve always liked the Steelers. Well, now I hope they go 0-17 this season.

This rules for a lot of reasons, but especially because it dispels the myths that A.) old games were never political and B.) games like this are just stories, they aren't "about" anything. Should serve as a reminder to anyone writing about games why we should be close reading 'em.

Oh for Pete’s sake… nintendo.com isn’t even shipping Switch 2 preorders yet? Sigh. Fine, I guess I’ll catch up with y’all next week.

The speed of writing code has never, and will never be the bottleneck. The bottleneck, the limiting factor, is always in the thinking about the code and how it works, understanding it. People who use chatgpt to write code are literally removing the only part of programming that is actually useful.

I’m still crunching at work for the conference next week. Someone let me know if they announce a Final Fantasy Tactics remaster at the State of Play, OK?

Oh god, it’s about time this came back. Considering there’s a whole damn band named after it (and they’re really good).

What if writing dialogue was a joyful, purposeful, and creative task? What if I wanted to read dialogue somebody else had written, to connect with them through their ideas and stories? What if creation was about more that churning out #Product as quickly and cheaply as possible?

What I’m nostalgic for is high-concept original movies with appealing actors. Or, for that matter, showing up at a movie theater with nothing in mind to watch and having a solid chance of finding something I’d like starting in the next hour. The zero-risk franchise/remake era killed movies for me.

So do you want me to go on my whole thing again about how the idea of conspiracy theorists being anti-authoritarian was just their own masturbatory self-image and actually they're a bunch of reactionary cowards looking for a strong man to protect them from the world they're too stupid to understand

I teach a game writing class. Students have scripts, worldbuilding docs, treatments, etc due every week About half the class used ChatGPT last semester even though I made it clear using an LLM = an F. When I asked why a studio would ever hire them if their work was just ChatGPT, they seemed stunned

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Same. I keep checking nintendo.com and it’s still “Preparing to ship”. I hope they seriously don’t wait until Thursday to ship it and I then don’t get it until next week. Oh well, dying empire problems, amirite?

The thing that makes me angriest is the lack of contrition. These people are directly culpable for their friend being torn from her family. But they pretend that her arrest is an act of God, like a tornado, that just . . . happened. www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-the-w...

Hmm. Meijer says they’ll have Switch 2’s on opening day. But they aren’t open 24 hours anymore. So are they going to accommodate midnight shoppers like some other stores, or do you just need to bomb in there at 6 AM when they open? www.meijer.com/shopping/dep...

"Because people who constantly transgress can’t function with the knowledge that they are immoral, they must believe—and teach—that everyone is just as corrupt as they are." That's what it's all about. New from @monacharen.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/whatabouti...
