Hi there, I'm Sam! I'm a married, autistic, 35-year-old dad of two and...
I'm developing an indie game, Crisis Island: store.steampowered.com/app/2311560/...
I have a pretty cool YouTube gaming channel: www.youtube.com/@WebstersYou...
And I like to think I can draw!
Let's be friends!

The only thing a boardroom understands or cares about is money.
Do not watch AI dubs. Don't even hate watch them. Don't so bad it's good watch them for the lulz.
If they see human dubs still performing well and AI dubs doing badly, eventually, they'll get the message.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Another upgrade for the setup. I picked up the Logitech Litra Glow in a Black Friday sale. This should hopefully improve my on-camera segments and give me freedom to record at more times of day - especially as it's now dark outside when I start and finish my day job!

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

I keep meaning to setup an account, but I own around 1,000 games across devices dating back to the Master System. The setup time alone would likely be equivalent to beating multiple games from my backlog.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie looks like a good time, nothing more. But it's very unlikely that it will improve upon the shortcomings of the previous movie. Here's why.

We're exactly a week away from my PIP tribunal and, oh boy, the anticipation is doing a number on my head. I'm agitated, I'm pacing, I'm comfort eating and my brain is just... numb. Really struggling to string a thought together. This process is hell.

I've been saying this for years. Game of the Year, Complete and Definitive Editions train us to wait. Publishers' initial desire to double dip generated short term revenue but created this long term problem for themselves by changing consumer expectations and behaviours.
Sega is pointing to consumer expectations for “definitive editions” as one potential cause behind lower-than-expected sales for some of its recent games. https://bit.ly/3XjVmQA

I find the statement from the Horses developer incredibly arrogant.
They reject notions of decency that they feel are used to censor artists? Fine. Steam rejects their game.
If they want the freedom to make whatever art they want, Steam have the freedom to choose not to sell or associate with it.
