Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

the funniest thing about AAA vs Indie discourse is that it is a truth universally ackonwledged outside of video games that working for a small business is literally the worst torment it is possible for a man to experience and would take a faceless evil corporation 100 times out of 100

I would like to thank Companion AI for helping promote my latest in @mcsweeneys.net. I had worried my satire was too dark. This Einstein product reassures me that it was optimistic sunshine.

I mean - it's such lameass fucking cynical marketing bullshit, taking advantage of the work people do on enemies and NPCs against the ignorance of the general audience. Not exactly a credibility win for xbox

"AI has long been part of gaming and will continue to be" is so heckin disingenuous. I've been a game AI engineer for almost 20 years, which has absolutely nothing to do with the current bubble of generative AI that is burning the world to solve no actual problems.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
