briefly put on the "green games showcase" and was immediately hit with an ad for a game filled with ai art from a developer with a big page about their crypto integration. and people wonder why i remain skeptical of this style of 'games can save the world' rhetoric.

The Fortnite Star Wars thingy is entirely skippable. Just a long hallway with a bunch of references, and a "here's what's coming next" thing at the end.

I checked out of the Continental after 3, when it was clear they could basically invent any situation or plot thread by pulling a Secret Assassin Club bylaw out of a hat. The action is still amazing, of course. But a little lore goes a long way, and it's gone way too far now.

I'm just not gonna buy any new Gearbox games from now on. Not because I don't like Borderlands or Risk of Rain (I do!), and not because I can't afford $80 for a video game. Just because Randy Pitchford is a jackass who needs to shut the fuck up, and I don't want to give him any more money.

Hey writers: maybe if we devote all our free time to writing the most disgusting Zuckerberg, Bezos & Sam Altman slash fic imaginable & posting it where ever we can, it will forever inform their AI models.

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

Being forced to beg a corporation to stay alive, a corporation that profits from denying you care, is fundamentally inhuman.

Every comic creator's obituary is like, he created this iconic character who was in a movie that made $700 million last year. He died with a net worth of $12 after the publisher countersued him.

Damn. Far and away my favorite Star Trek author, and I know plenty of comics people who feel the same way. Check out his Sir Apropos of Nothing series if you want a darker, more cynical take on Discworld-style fantasy.

Just a heads-up: When you a) have a political prisoner whom you've detained in violation of their right to free speech and b) have to be forced to let them hold their one-month-old baby, you're the bad guys.

So when next we tell you that it's a terrible idea to fire your writers and editors and either a) hire some of them back as "assistants" to clean up LLM generated "AI" slop or b) just wholly rely on content mills which do the same, i want you to remember what's happening to the Chicago Sun-Times.
