i actually think the problem is full V.O., for many many different reasons. it not only balloons production scope, but it also frequently grinds narrative pacing to a halt. especially for dialogue heavy games! if they're this skippable; many of these cutscenes could have and should have been emails.
okay i'm sorry but the 1.5x speed watching brainrot has gone too far if we're now doing playback speed for video game dialogue

I'm not being very productive, which could be due to sleep or thyroid. But what I can do is dick around on social media.
So let's share again the starter packs I made of game devs who refuse to use gen AI in any capacity.
Here you go:

20+ notifications? Must be the biweekly "zero gen ai starter pack" re-share. 😊
I find it so reassuring to see how everyone continues to value AI-free work. Hello new followers!

Don't just share the most polished, professional works. Repost the people who are just starting, who are amateur, who maybe don't have the proportions or the anatomy or the color down.
Remember they're choosing to pick up a pencil and enjoy the act of creating, many of them for the first time.

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art.
You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

I really, really, really hope that something we can encourage with our library. I want a general audience to be able to tell better histories than summarizing Wikipedia and remembering a game at you
I keep clicking on video game retrospective videos thinking I'll learn something new about the development of a beloved classic but no, it's just some guy describing a game they played once
I desire something greater. Tell me what coffee the devs drank. I wanna know if they used tabs or spaces

I hadn't heard about this at all, absolutely gutted for the people laid off. The work put into paizo products has been stellar since I started reading post 2e.
My heart is hurting for all the Paizo employees impacted by this and a hearty middle finger to JP Morgan Chase and Diamond's continuing devastation on the printed medium's future. So many comic, game, and TTRPG companies were hit by this.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.
