I love passionate people, who transmit their passion to others.
I love enthusiasm, which builds and compounds with others.
I HATE "hype."

maybe it's because I'm an academic as well as a developer, but an idea is worthless if you can't get people on board, and making all your communication with genAI is not often going to get people on board or excited or even able to hold a coherent conversation with you

game development is rife with communication problems between the amount of different disciplines that must be brought together and the fact that communication is itself a skill
genAI is the appearance of communication without any actual communication happening

Fantastic palaeoart in a traditional Chinese style, used as a figure in a Royal Society publication, describing a false sabre-tooth feline, Taotienimravus songi. I hope this buckles the trend again "stylised" art in publications and press releases.

My favourite thing I heard of like this is a debugging feature in Alien Isolation where instead of hissing the Alien states aloud what it's thinking about.
"I heard you. I am hunting you. I am hunting you. I am hunting you. I have found you."

As much as I love buff badass lesbian Samus, I also really love the version of her from that one Super Metroid gag manga where she's this weirdo obsessed with round objects and hiding in small spaces

Another peek at Shadowrun in Japan, this time from the mid-90s, with artwork from the Entangled Betrayal scenario.
This artwork is a fair bit less cutesy than that of the SR manga I previously shared, but still has those unmistakable anime vibes.

5E gets called rules light which is when I realized the phrase doesn't mean anything outside of very specific conversations where participants are familiar with everyone else's preferences. In some circles, GURPS Lite is rules light, which is a laughable statement in other circles
But also I loathe “rules light” as a term because it tells me nothing useful
The same term is used to mean “a very few, extremely precise rules deployed very strictly for immense effect” and “idk man it’s improv-driven consensus loosey-goose pure roleplaying magic, it’s so cool”.

Made a series of squad insignias back when I was working on Solstice Rain. Many Union squads are named after alcoholic drinks. This Sagarmatha is from Squad Highball, a ThirdComm unit formed from the remnants of Squad Whisky, a SecComm era unit that was almost completely destroyed in the civil war.
