But it has huge glaring issues to be clear, it’s just got some of the same sauce.

The only stuff of his that even gets close to hitting those highs (besides Watchmen) is his Miracleman run IMO

wait... he's cooking...

Somebody's just trapped in silent hill nearby. Don't worry about it, either they achieve apotheosis or they silently expire.

I did enjoy Chapter 8 and the rest of the video. Thanks for all your work!

I did keep expecting you (in chapter 10) to mention how Disney Research was cut back from 2016-2018, closing two of five labs. There's some funny, relevant stories around how it led to shuttering some park attractions.

Have you seen @maxkreminski.bsky.social’s work around combatting the dearth of the author? That was around co-creative tools but I bet the same techniques could work for autonomous systems.

best game at PAX?

Unlikely to get there tonight (PhD thesis reviewing), but looking forward to it!

Happy to! I was at Disney Research Pittsburgh in summer 2016 as a PhD research intern so I likely have a somewhat unusual perspective on this topic.

Fingers crossed here too!

Well we'd be more than happy to have you! Lectures are winding down over the next two weeks but if you're open for it I can see if the instructor teaching the games capstone course (not me this time) might be interested for the next semester?

A lovely day but so sorry to hear you're unemployed! If I can help somehow please let me know!
