whenever I play a AAA game with writing that let’s say has not hit for me, the first thing I always think is “ok what were the particular horrors the writers had to deal with in this VO pipeline”

I keep saying lawyers are going into battle on the front lines every damn day and it matters, it matters so much. Here's a thread from one who never wanted to do immigration law but is doing it anyway under the worst circumstances.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

the cycle of “devs working for years to make a game > game launches (and it doesn’t matter how successful it is) > two week waiting period > most of the team laid off” is not only entirely unsustainable but genuinely horrifying
Highguard developer Wildlight has reportedly laid off most of its team, says one a level designer sharing the news of layoffs.
The live service game launched just two weeks ago after being revealed at The Game Awards.

making shit makes happiness
An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

good reminder that there is always a first time someone encounters something in their life and when it happens it is not about personal intelligence or ability but just access, pure happenstance, and the entropy of the universe

Students find a real grid/architectural feature in the world, take a picture of it, then use that as the basis for the composition of a one-page comic! Always a treat – this batch of them are stellar! (From my intro Making course). Try it yourself!

Honestly enrichment for goats often involves giving them new things to look at, which is much less dangerous than giving them new puzzles to figure out.
You will never guess what has the goat herd so freaked out…

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

i have a lot i could say about loving your own work as an artist. it doesn't mean that you love yourself or even that you love your finished product. the most important thing is that you enjoy the process even though it's difficult and effortful. making art is fun. if it isn't fun for you then stop.
