Between this, AI lobbyists telling the EU that we can have AI or hit our climate targets in the midst of historic heatwaves, and the extreme increases in carbon footprint over the last few years of the mag7, we kinda have to accept that AI enthusiasm is a form climate denial
OpenAI won't even consider renewable investments in Australia until the country agrees to kill its copyright laws so they can freely train on creative work.
When Albanese caves and agrees to this, OpenAI will just run on fossil fuels anyway: guaranteed.

So with the news of the layoffs at KO_OP, I'm officially looking for work later this fall. I'm an experienced narrative designer that's worked on both sprawling open world stories and intimate cinematic narratives, even netting some award wins and noms. More details on my experience below!

I’m on vyvanse now, which is a huge improvement over raw dexamfetamine, but now caffeine is somewhat deadly to me. Drank a two-shot coffee last week and felt the world coming apart around me. I just bought some decaf tea and felt sad about it. What is everyone else drinking?

I cannot believe we’re making Spa and Barcelona share an alternating race slot so we can instead see this garbage track every year

today will hopefully be the end of an excruciatingly awful six week ordeal that I will probably never get over. I need to be left alone for a month after this

got many thoughts on this. don't want to cop a ban, so I'll leave just these two:
1. valve is not your friend. never has been, never will be.
2. every person involved with this event and every developer on every game here deserves to be run out of the industry. there's no plausible deniability.

i'm SO lucky to be one of the few programmers who've gotten to work directly with jenna for the last 2y and let me tell you, they're an absolute POWERHOUSE. only writer whose writing is so potent it's made me literally faint. only writer to make me sob looking at my IDE. absolute generational talent
I'll be looking for work soon and am in the process of crafting a portfolio website for the first time in a few years, but in the meantime if you know of anyone in need of a narrative designer (or illustrator, even) please keep me in mind 🥲

Noé joined KO_OP soon after I did and was such an integral part of getting our narrative tooling for Young Suns set up!!! She's so driven and passionate about tools and narrative systems and our resident Yarnspinner Sicko on the tech team, any team would be hugely lucky to have her
so sad to say i'm one of the devs affected by this and am leaving at the end of the month
i've had an absolutely incredible time at ko_op helping ship our 3 most recent games over the 4 years i've been here. i love all my coworkers and hope that things improve and we get to work together again soon
