Great to know their CEO doesn't even understand how AI works. It's not anxious because it's conscious, dumbass. It's anxious because you've been scraping the social media of users living and posting through fucking unstable times.

Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process.

The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail.

So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.

This is a good principle for design in general:

When users tell you there's a problem, they are usually right.

When users tell you how to fix it, they are usually wrong.

(bonus: if you replace "user" with "stakeholder" this still applies)

Video Game PR folks, if any of your developer clients are working on video games with accessibility considerations for disabled players, reach out to me at LauraKBuzzOfficial@Gmail.com

I'm in the midst of booking games for this year's AA Summer Showcase. Now's the time to get in touch.

Putting this out there - if anyone knows of UX/Product Design openings please reach out.

Intrepid Studios closing the way it did left me with a missing paycheck, no severance, no insurance. I’m running off savings in one of the most expensive cities in the US and it’s not gonna last long.

With the state of *gestures widely* everything, it's been hard to feel much joy. But I am so grateful & honored to be invited to speak at GDC this year, especially as a gamedev who was impacted by layoffs last year. Check out our talk & hit me up for meetups! #GDC schedule.gdconf.com/session/1rea...

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us β€œsexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

I understand now what your intent was but during this exchange it didn’t feel to me like research, but an excuse to speak poorly of a group of people.
The phrasing of your initial message painted web developers unfavorably. I’m not sure if that was on purpose or not.

I am not a web dev. I have worked with many of them and have only good things to say about my experiences, that’s all.

Sorry you feel that way, I guess.

I’m sorry you’ve had this experience working with web devs. I just don’t think it’s fair to make sweeping claims about a type of dev. We’re all just trying to do our jobs and no field inherently produces β€œbetter” or β€œworse” practitioners.

Many web devs I’ve worked with are flexible and curious, but also the work is very different to game dev. The way that flexibility manifests probably looks different between them.

I really like that I can once a day open my little PokΓ©mon TCG app, open my two daily booster packs, put my little virtual cards in a virtual binder and share cards with my friends.

Resident Evil Requiem continues Capcom's unbelievable run of excellence as Leon and Grace expertly complement one another, defining a well-balanced pace between hunted isolation and deadly roundhouse kicks.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of Pacific Drive's release. I'm also in the thick of refining my GDC talk about it, which I was meant to give last year before I needed emergency surgery, so it's been on my mind a lot lately. Here's a long 🧡.

Women in the games industry already have to put up with a lot, but we shouldn’t have to do it alone. Men in the industry: if you see one of your fellow men doing behaving this way towards a woman at a professional conference, please speak up and tell them to CUT IT OUT.

in a functioning society ppl would just be able to take a break from making new video games for a couple of years & we could all get together & sort out whatever it is that's happening in the video game industry

In today's episode of AI is ruining the thing you love; Godot could really use some extra funding just to judge if something is slop because they're getting overwhelmed

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

”Actually asking people how 'likely' they are to do something is really unreliable, and while it will get you data - it will mean nothing.β€œ
