And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

If it’s truly “non-important dialogue,” then just don’t include it. Have an emoji in a speech bubble over their heads. Have them say “…”.

You might not be good at or interested in writing NPC dialogue, and that’s OK! But don’t make players read something you didn’t even want to write.
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

Whenever I say this, people get Really Mad, but it's true. Same of any other art, too. You have to read the book, watch the film, see the painting, listen to the song, whatever.

I'm sorry, but watching a video about it on YouTube is not enough. You have not experience the art.
"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions
the whole "don't play the game, just watch a video on youtube that will explain its story to you" is so disheartening because the issue of accessibility is genuinely really important but it's always just people who want to be spoon-fed nicely quantifiable information

ai defenders like to say "but the technology will get better" and that is true to a point. but will any of its advocates ever be curious enough to look at its output, even when it's to be projected onto a 15 meter tall screen about how cool it is? probably no.

We’re getting DOA: Dead Or Alive 2.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I must sound like a broken record right now but it truly means a lot when I get comments saying they're excited for my games.

Makes me feel like people actually care about my stories and want more.

I don't have the best self-esteem when it comes to myself and my creations so, truly, thank you.

we used the term "free-for-all" for an in-app event promo post and it got auto-moderated for talking about app pricing 😩

because that is the only possible meaning of the word 'free'

the internet was a mistake

Cool system we have where if a company puts out a product that people keep for years due to it doing everything they need and not breaking, it’s considered a failure

New #Primrows weekly challenge: Jumping Jacks!

Because we already added dice to sudoku, why not ALSO introduce chess pieces?

this Trans Day of Remembrance I'm joining the chorus of trans folks saying that it would be fantastic if you gave us our roses while we're still here. it breaks my heart that we have a whole day to remember our siblings who have passed away. love your trans friends as hard as you can.
