I cannot imagine that the recent rise in “look you can generate a game from a prompt!” is going to do anything to help our ongoing and critical discoverability issue.

Was talking about what I do when I take on a project for game consulting and they said “I like that it sounds like part of it is therapy” 😅

I'm no stranger to doing odd jobs. I've been a phonesex operator, a lesbian escort, a construction worker (cement mixing), secretary, magazine illustrator. I studied Medicine.

But the one thing I know how to do well is game art. I have a passion for it and 21 years under my belt. I wanna work ❤️‍🩹

NEW: Alice Gilman, a cofounder of R3 Bio — a startup that's said it wants to create nonsentient "organ sacks" — tried to delay the publication of an interview she gave in February to the podcast Skyline Drive.

Why? Unclear. But she alluded to being a "federal asset."
