Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

“Humans get tired; some days are better than others. The AI does not get tired. It doesn’t get grumpy. It doesn’t have a bad day. The AI is consistent,” says Juan Espinoza, vice provost” demonstrating that humans can be profoundly ignorant and make vibe-based decisions.

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.

We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

Tim is not a creator or artist he is a capitalist with the goal of being the only one in power. That involves pushing as many people out of the way and that involves other devs removed and replaced by tools he also controls and profits from.

A reminder that Tim Sweeney is trash, Unreal Engine is trash, and the Epic Game Store is trash. Fortnite, by extension, is also trash.

Skacky released a mod that got an animated horse working in the Dark Engine, and that is, apparently, somehow NOT his most ambitious work in the Dark Engine.

Congrats on the release @skacky.bsky.social I look forward to giving this one a spin.

My new Thief 2 Fan Mission, Reflection in Red, is out! I am very proud of this one, and it is by far my most ambitious work in the Dark Engine to date. www.ttlg.com/forums/showt...

Miyamoto on being told that players care about rewards, 2008.

Source: Iwata Asks

#MiyamotoQuote

www.hyruleinterviews.com/b5e9f8738b76...
PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 55. Creator of Zelda & Mario. General Manager of Nintendo EAD. QUOTE: Miyamoto: There are lots of reasons for playing video games; because you want to get to the next level, or because you want to see what the next boss you have to fight looks like. I’m told all the time that these kinds of "rewards" really matter to people. But I don’t think that’s necessarily true. What I’m always saying … is that it’s the process that must be fun for people if they’re going to really enjoy the game. … And there are times when game creators use well-made "rewards" as the excuse. For example, if someone invents an ending that they’re really proud of, that they just think is fantastic, then they might end up settling for a less-than-splendid journey.

But for now, a silver lining: it took many years and billions of dollars, but Microsoft finally invented a calculator that’s wrong sometimes and can install malware on our computers.
