I'm a coward, I admit it. I'm terrified of getting scooped up by ICE and I commend everyone out there. If you're like me, watching all this and feeling powerless, take a moment to donate. And if you can't donate, take a moment to write/call your representative. Take that tiniest step to get involved

It's wild to me that Switch 2 has been out for 6 months and I have zero desire to buy one. I absolutely love video games, but the switch 2 line up hasn't really done it for me

Cory Doctorow's wrote a great piece on AI and puts to words why AI makes me so uncomfortable: it can make your job easier but it is being sold to get rid of you and more importantly for the humans that are left to take the blame when AI inevitably mess up.

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow
AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

Is it my TL/followers or does bsky and the micro blogging format in general just favor rage bait and rage seeking?
Just a year ago my feed was predominantly people sharing their art and interacting with each other. Now that seems to be rare, replace mostly by replying AT each other with grievances

In addition to my perpetual New Year's resolution "dunk a basketball", something I might actually do is "buy more video games on release and review them"
I would love to be part of the conversation of video games instead of passively looking back at discussion when I play something years later

There's a lot of emotions that come with being a parent, but the one I was least expecting was the unyielding rage watching other kids exclude my daughter at the playground

I'm gonna go on LinkedIn and get this kick started. I like "slow productivity" but I think t need to be more hashtag-able. Like #AIntentional. We can do this!
The most annoying thing about genAI is that eventually the genAI proponents are going to get to the end of the novelty of it, realize its limitations, and then claim to be the innovators of doing things the long way without genAI. Call it "slow productivity" or something.

Little did we know he was talking about AI. And while I agree with most of the arguments against AI being used to build video games, I don't think the vast majority of people will care. I'm not saying making those arguments, but we need an additional approach that emphasizes a better alternative too

This line warms my heart every time. It's a mix of childhood nostalgia for this book, but also it's just such pure friendship. It's whatever the opposite of toxic masculinity is

Here's a easy trick for leveling charisma: be low pressure to be around. For example:
"Can I get you anything to drink? I have water, coffee, juice, beer, wine?"
"Oh no thanks!"
"Ok, well let me know if I can get you anything, or feel free to help yourself!"
And you're done! Don't even ask again

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I'm having trouble finding this - are there any interviews with people in the voice acting industry about the whole Arc Raiders AI TTS stuff? This feels like a more nuanced topic and I want to hear from the people it actually affects

Great thread on T&S
There is a very good reason why the thing I say most consistently about situations like this is "the violent rhetoric policy is my least favorite policy to write and enforce, and the policy that creates the most upheaval among the userbase when it is applied"!
"bluesky will suspend you for anything vaguely resembling a death threat" is maybe the single most consistent moderation policy they have I don't know why anyone is surprised by this one
yes, even if it's a reference to song lyrics

Hello.
November 6th is my 5-Year Streamiversary on Twitch. And it would be really cool if you came.
There's gonna be Baby Steps and lots of squats and silly milestones and maybe even bodacious boobies. So if you don't come, you clearly hate fun!
Don't hate fun. 🫡
