Optimus Prime is my favorite hero and Nintendo is my comfort home. I have served the US Marine Corps for 4 years and will never side with Nazis and tyranny. Because as Optimus said, freedom and autonomy is the right of all sentient beings.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

I love the escapism and wish-fulfillment of video games. My character can sleep and wake up refreshed and energized? Wow. Oh, to live in this fiction.

19 interviews?! Nah, that is beyond diabolical. 🤬
3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.
