As much as this amuses me, I also kind of want to take a sort of strange solace in this. This is how many people are polite to a LLM. This is how heavy that politeness is. Maybe we won't be doomed if a real AI is brought out. Maybe it'll spare us because humans were kind to it. Some of them.

Every time I see something else coming out of what's happening in the Middle East, I want to peel my own fucking skin off at how distressed it makes me. I don't even know how to live with my own self anymore.

Me: I need a break from tertiary education marking. And I also need a break from in-depth academic work on my game. Me: ... Me: Oh I have another idea for a monster kissing game as an allegory of breaking generational trauma... that's a good idea right?

A tweet from 2019, he wasn't far off unfortunately. Now we have governments looking the other way whilst the world descends into genocidal fascism, arresting those who oppose it

I absolutely should not talk to my game dev team whilst I am (legally) high as a kite*. *the 'legally' disclaimer is in case anyone tries to come for me and ruin my good time.

I don't fucking understand why people still entertain the idea that there's anything to debate or discuss about the wholesale slaughter of children. Like what the fuck are we?

This is the stupid face I am currently obsessed with. I am trying something with dark romantasy that's not about veiled abuses but more like absolute 'villain MMC has brainrot for his FMC and is utterly unashamed of it' kind of deal. This is Mhaleroth, by the incredible @cryhollow.bsky.social‬

Seeing a lot of toxicity and venom toward potential non-trans creators depicting trans characters in their work and as a cis woman who has a transmasc character in her game, I am *stressed*. Yes of course I will be doing sensitivity readings but oh my gooooddd what do I do.

Inb4 I make an angry games academic TikTok that just yells about how games are the fucking coolest medium in the world and yet we basically break them like horses and relegate them to pulling rich white men in wagons, and shoot them if they don't go fast enough.

There's a severe cognitive dissonance in seeing endless GDC talks about diversity and imagination and innovation in games, and every small studio that isn't mega-profit gets closed, and minorities are fired, and Gen AI, which literally can't do any of those things, is constantly spoken about.

Hi, are you working in the video game industry in a chiefly creative capacity (artist, writer, designer, etc)? Is your boss/company trying to foist AI on you against you or your team's wishes? If so I'd love to chat. lukeATaftermathDOTsite, or a DM here if you prefer, thanks!
