Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

Once again i'm in with projects far bigger than my own, and it has been my objective since Citizen Sleeper to punch well above my weight with what I am proposing an RPG could be and do.
And this is just the beginning... 😉

One of my proudest accolades is being Nominated for "RPG of the Year" by D.I.C.E. and... it's happened again! 😅
Really appreciate the recognition for Citizen Sleeper 2 in a genre I care so deeply about pushing forward!

I love giant walking robots. Giant walking robots are great. I hope I can work on another giant walking robot game some day. That would really be great.

Horror is to game awards like what science fiction used to be to literature awards. It tends to get overlooked.
Silent Hill f not getting a single nomination, not for audio design, not for art direction, not for story, not for character, not nothing is also extremely baffling

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Between all the (extremely justified) AI-bashing we are all doing, this is honestly a fairly realistic take. This is not an Id Software "use AI or die" stance and it should be differentiated from such.
If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

Not only that it came less than a minute after focusing on a child with her mother. Steam has notably denied NSFW vns in the past because there was a child as part of the cast unrelated to any NSFW material. If you're big enough and not anime the kid can be standing 5 feet away from an orgy I guess
It’s not Larian’s fault but it chaps my ass that because they’re Larian they can have a trailer with a full on orgy in it in the middle of the Game Awards and meanwhile adult content in games everywhere else is getting cracked down on left and right.

I will say this - the celebrity-worship aspect of TGAs takes on an increasingly comedic tone as the industry works to tear down voice acting as a career in favour of AI.
Oh the industry will pay homage to the power of celebrities, yes. But only while digging up the foundations under them

The video also makes it clear how incredibly protective Disney is of their characters, especially Mickey. In that light, it's wild to me that they would give up control over their characters' image in such a way. Surely this won't blow up in their faces when people inevitably make terrible stuff.
This (shitty) news makes me think about how Defunctland’s newest video makes the case that Disney’s Imagineering R&D is partly a tool to keep them positioned as a technology company, not an entertainment company, on the stock market.
This plus the Epic investment sure lend credence to that.
