Finally some hope from notorious ethics focused company

*checks notes*

Games Workshop?!
'Warhammer' maker Games Workshop has banned the use of AI in its content production and its design process

• A small number of senior managers have experimented with GenAI tools — none are that excited about the technology

• The company plans to hire more human creatives

I made a pact with my cousin at MAG.

He watches Ghibli, I watch Gundam.

I get to watch giant robots fight and he gets his emotions destroyed.

MAGFest was an awesome time. Very rejuvenating to hear how excited people are for Chronicler.

MAGFest was great as always. Hearing people ask where they can buy a game that isn't even printed yet was a huge boost.

Now we keep the Chronicler machine rolling so when people ask to buy it, they can

Once we survive the MAGFest showcase I'm diving into these beautiful books for the first time. I love the movie a lot and know of the comics but now I get to read them!

One of the best birthday gifts I've ever received.

I appreciate all the fanfare, fireworks, and hullabaloo...

But my birthday he tomorrow...

Does anyone actually use picas? Cause it feels like adobe was like "hey look we made a fun new unit of measurement" and then everyone collectively went back into the settings and switched it back.

This might be the coolest thing that's ever happened to me.

If you haven't listened to Salvo or their previous iteration Pain, you truly are doing yourself a disservice.

Call My Friends is so lyrically clever mixed with a sound only these guys could pull off.
I’m still new here, but I wanted to spread the word: this track, Alone In Your Bedroom, is some very good recommended listening. Melodious and joyful and hopeful, crisply produced and inspiring. linktr.ee/starlightpark

My game Chronicler was accepted into the MAGFest Indie Tabletop Showcase!

If you want to follow the game in depth you can check out the patreon (and join for free!) www.patreon.com/c/RuleZeroMe...

I also set up a Ko-Fi if anyone would like to help with expenses.

Double trucks unloads every day for 2 weeks while trying to get my game shit together when I'm not working and I'm just like
a stuffed dog is jumping over a toy train .
Alt: Grommit of Wallace and Grommit isn placing tracks in front of the moving toy train as it speeds ahead so that it doesn't derail.

Does it bother anyone else that CR created a game and aren't using it in their own show?

In honor of Labor Day I'd like to do some math.

I work for a major retailer that posted $178bn last quarter.

They employe 2.1 million people worldwide. Assuming all those people work 40hrs/wk 52 weeks/year. It would cost 44bn to give everyone a $10 raise.

Or roughly 1/4 of the quarterly revenue.
