Emanuel Palalic, Game Director for DEFECT points to the timeless visual design of some classic games as proof that smart art direction beats raw power every time.

Former id Software artist argues performance and optimization are 'as much of an art problem' as a tech one: 'Killzone 2 looks incredible today. FEAR looks incredible today'
Defect lead Emanuel Palalic thinks leaning into this mindset from early development will leave the game optimized as well as pretty.

Kudos for these women for standing up and doing the right thing but they're trying to ban trans women from e-sports now? Absolutely ridiculous.

A good plot-twist *recontextualises* everything behind it. It should feel like everything was pointing to an inevitablility, not to a "SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKER!" for its own sake.

This is (part of) why the Red Wedding worked in the Game of Thrones Live Series, but everything after fell apart
Viewers/readers/players anticipating your plot twists in advance is GOOD ACTUALLY.

YOU DID A GOOD JOB WHY WOULD YOU RUIN IT. YOUR JOB ISN'T TO OUTSMART YOUR AUDIENCE. UNGUESSABLE PLOT TWISTS ARE BAD TWISTS.

sorry for the yelling but holy shit

Now up to 44 reviews! Newest one's a bit long so just clipped the end of it. Glad to see they understood what we were going for, and you can leave whatever number you like if you're still putting it as Recommended.

i am an AI hater and will hate with the best. i'm also using this thing we discarded in the AI age called "critical thinking" where i'm not just pointing at everything and going "AI" in the hopes one of those is right and i get praised like a good boy. don't just scattershot real art with this.
My literal 14 year old niece has complained about people demanding to know if her art is AI.

At some point people need to stop and take stock of the harm they are doing by pointing fingers without reasonable proof.
If you consistently ask artists if their work is generative AI, you're actually being more discouraging than generative AI is.

If JKR is willing to destroy every women's and girls' organisation and institution in this country in her crusade against trans rights, make her fucking do it. Call her bluff. Full juridicial kamikaze. Show everyone how much these ghouls really care about women's and girls' spaces.
All these statements being made with "utmost regret and sadness" fundamentally don't change the fact that these organisations are all folding to appease one vexatious bigot because she has infinite money, instead of doing the right thing and sticking by their guns and ignoring the Supreme Court.

This is honestly how you fight back. Make this transphobic racist burn every pile of cash she has. Watch her self destruct in a tirade of hatred.

Stop buying her fucking wizard trash.

The very first, which I didn't realise, was God of War 2005.

The one where I realised EXACTLY what was going on was Corruption of Champions
What was your first adult/NSFW video game encounter?

Do you have a funny story, or remember a playground rumor?

My answer:

Overhearing my older brothers and cousins talking about a way to remove the nudity censor from first Sims game on PC. My young eyes couldn't believe it when I finally saw.

Live and make art with my community. Video games, music, books...

I think most game designers, most artists, will have the same answer. There's a Renaissance waiting on the other side of UBI.

I keep seeing people trying to play down the payment processor situation, saying it's only the extreme NSFW accounts getting sacked.

Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight?

Also go support Nakufin.

"It's okay if I misgender [X] because [X] doesn't deserve respect!"
Fuck off, you don't do this shit when cis people are outed as fucking monsters. Stop posturing like it's about who should be respected. You just want a free pass to do transphobia. Just say the slur and let's move on, fucking loser.

It’s amazing how similar our current distress about AI is to Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s 1955 complaints about the soul-draining aspects of “labor saving innovations” for housework in the early 20th century

whenever men “save us all some time” they hollow out the human experience

Getting to be a girl FEELS like a privilege.

I know the resources we use to express those manifestations of self are a privilege to have.

But the quintessential truth of gender is you can just decide to be a girl, and nobody can stop you.
