Like Uni Councils filled with property developers.
The Adelaide Writers Festival now wrecked by the Adelaide Festival Board, half of which was appointed late last year: a marketing executive; a former politician; a local councillor/real estate agent; an airport manager; a lawyer; a media consultant; and a banker. Another public arts takeover fiasco.

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

The first Irish-Irish dictionary ever was released this year, like a month ago, so hopefully @tg4.bsky.social and cula4 will start making sure they have subtitles in Irish AND English. It's always one or the other, and the subtitles are frequently missing same-language lines (I'll explain in part 2)

college gardens is one of my least favourite streets in belfast
flanked by an elite religious school, the insistence on having parking on both sides and a footpath that is literally just one lane so you’re constantly forced in and out of walking on the road

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

Using gen ai for text and asset placeholders is not solving a problem; games have been made for decades with regular placeholders. studios using AI this way are just testing the water to see what more they can get away with - which will inevitably mean laying off skilled workers, to make worse games

If these people ever engaged with the Autistic (& wider disability community) they could learn about how these concepts have come up before. But most of these people have only been (self-)diagnosed in the last few years and their identity is wholly singular and not based in community/solidarity.
