I alternate between being drained by social media and being drained by no-one seeing anything I make when I don't use social media.

Cultivating that empty husk mindset

Probably one the most depressing things I've read about recently on this topic: cognitive debt. An observable decrease in brain activity and executive function following gen-AI use for a project task.

It's on them to make this up to their community, 100%. I think there's some pretty severe loss of trust over this for a lot of people, myself included.

Yeah, that's really hard to defend.

Digging into this, I really want to give Larian some grace. That said, Vincke saying that Gen-AI is "for tasks nobody wants to do" makes that hard.

The things we want to do the least are more than often the most important things as artists, because they're hard, which is how we grow the most.

Sam chads stay winning 💪

There's an argument for Samwise as the protagonist of LOTR if there is one. The boy carried Frodo and the Ring by proxy, all the way to Mount Doom and got back just in time to repopulate the Shire.

I usually buy adventure modules more to read than run. Legitimately, some of the best science fiction I've read recently has been in Mothership module flavor text. :P
