Enjoy it! You’ll miss those days 20 years from now.

You have to remember that mainstream, Evangelical “Christianity” has morphed into a politically driven death cult. Their beliefs run almost exclusively counter to Jesus’ teachings. They are truly “Christians In Name Only”.

You act like I believe being gay is fucked up or inferior in some way. Which is complete horseshit. But if the Nazis believe it, I have no problem using their stupid beliefs as a rhetorical weapon against them. Like in a fist fight, anything within reach is a weapon.

Sometimes you do it just because you know it will set them off more. I won’t apologize for trying to piss off Nazis in a way that psychically fucks with them.

I wanted to do something similar *years* ago: a GPS guided photo book with an audio component. Basically people could get the book and also get an app to guide you through the route I took getting the photos...and an audio recording of the walk while I was shooting. Relive my experience.

I can understand that. My brain goes constantly so I’m always up for good discussions. That’s just me, though.

could fit into the new, evolving gaming industry. Set your sights on how you can position yourself to thrive in that environment.
Your job *will* change…but you won’t be replaced, unless you fail to take advantage when opportunities present themselves.

Think of them as collegiate level or minor league farm teams, building new rock star talent and keeping the most talented “assembly line” creatives employed.
So, if you’re a fellow creative, like me, instead of panicking, take a moment and a deep breath. Look toward the future and see where you

people will not be needed in such a system.
Now, there will almost always be a market for indie game devs and studios. Studios that do things in the more traditional style. The most talented of the “assembly line” creatives and new, upcoming rockstar creatives will find a place that those studios.

produce the *experiences* people want, not just individual games.
But, like buggy whip makers when cars took over, there *will* be some “casualties”. “Assembly line” creatives will most likely have to retrain or find work in an industry that needs that type of work. Essentially, many “grunt level”

believable and cohesive. Everyone will get paid for a few years of work and either take large, lump sums…or work out deals to get a cut of every time someone creates an experience using the AI.
Basically, truly rockstar creatives will thrive in this system. Studios will compete to produce AIs that

to train their models and *only* their models…and *continue* training them.
Devs will tweak the models continuously, tightening gameplay loops and helping balance gameplay. Signature artists and musicians will produce more and more of their craft to help the AI dial in their style and make it

the studios using the names of the artists and musicians to promote the AIs, much like studios use specific voice artists and musicians to help promote individual games. They’ll end up paying BIG money to sign exclusive contracts with talented character artists, musicians, voice actors, etc.,

come in: we will produce art/music/writing in our signature styles. That content will be used to train the AIs to produce games with an overarching, cohesive “style” of game the AI will produce. Their content will be used to produce a signature style that is the vision of the studio.

Studios will build AIs that represent the vision of games they want to present. They will build AIs with signature creative styles (art and music, writing, mood, etc) and gameplay loops. They will build AI to create games that are a specific type of *experience*.
And that’s where the creatives

tailored to their needs and skill levels.
It's even possible that "prompters" will become in demand for their skill in making particular AIs produce the most vivd and exciting worlds that multiple people want to experience.
So, where does that leave studios, along with devs/artists/composers?

build bespoke games, made for each individual gamer, from a prompt. Think: the Holodeck from Star Trek. Every single person playing a game tailored for their tastes.
Some people will gravitate towards co-op or MMO experiences, so AI will build beautiful, shared worlds and games for those people,

talented and skilled creatives, I posit that their jobs won’t be going anywhere, but they *will* be changing. In fact, they might even be paid better than they are currently.
So, where is the industry going? Firstly, the nature of game making is about to change dramatically. Eventually, AI will

Because of the early nature of public AI and callous theft and unmitigated greed of those like Sam Altman building their models off the backs of people that are infinitely more creative and talented than they are, creatives are rightfully afraid of AI “taking their jobs”.

musician/photographer, so I deeply understand the plight of my fellow creatives & pretty much think people who profit off scraped/stolen art should be punished, monetarily and/or jailed.
That said: There’s been a lot of handwringing over AI in the gaming industry, and I fully understand the panic.

If I did Fasnacht now, I’d totally AFK. The drop rates are so pathetic that it’s not worth my time to actually play the event.

I’ve got 10 days left on my GPUltimate so plenty of time to make up my mind on whether or not to buy on Steam. Right now, it’s still at “buy…when it’s on sale”. We’ll see how it shakes out. I had to drop difficulty to Easy because of my vision and the hinky combat. Needs an “enemies glow” option.

Makes sense. Bladder size in conjunction with urethra diameter. If the ratio is pretty consistent, emptying times would be, too.

Thinking about it...they could have had an option to where you did something (gave him more FEV, hooked him up with a scientist, something...) that eventually (out of your sight/knowledge) uprooted him, making him into something like an Ent. So you could run into him almost anywhere.

I just turned off the monitor hoping it will be done by morning. It had jumped up almost 12 hours…after me already waiting 5 hours. I’m so done with @xbox.com.

I always go for @gog.com first, because, with their ability to download install files, I feel more like I actually *own* the game. I wish more indie devs released on GOG as well as @steampowered.com, instead of only on Steam.
