For folks who don't know, every year I do the IGOTYs (Indie GOTY) celebration which is a 2+ hour podcast comprised of my favorite indies of the year in 10 categories with 5 noms each.
This year I don't have less than 10 noms in each category. Absolute banger of a year.
Ep comes out Dec 19!

This wild to me because this is my exact opposite experience. We have to dedicate a part of our faculty meetings to talk about new ways in which AI is ruining our lives and how to mitigate the damage. Part of that is trying to convince students not to use AI while supporting ones who don’t want to.

I regret to inform y’all that this is a Real Product.
I, myself, took this photo as I experienced a wave of an unnamed combined emotion consisting of genuine revulsion toward this *and* actual gratitude that my food allergies mean I can never ever ingest this.

Oh, yeah, NPC writing is the best. You can do worldbuilding, add a gameplay tip, or just invent a memorable weirdo. Or a whole city of weirdos. It's great.
