Greetings fellow human artists. I shall be over here doing human stuff.

Definitely not a labor shortage...it’s a wage problem. For a very long time artists have been paid peanuts and affordability has exploded everywhere. The sad thing is it comes at a time where this AI “artistry” is coming up so what does a company do instead of raising wages...
We’re truly in a crossing point in our…

It’s gotta be that stupid thing where when you scroll down to the comment of an article, it switches the URL to the next article. My address bar currently reads:

Maybe it’s because I’m a “filthy poor” but I’ve NEVER understood throwing or breaking a controller. Even when my lizard brain gets angry my logical brain screams “THAT’S A $70 MISTAKE, PLACE THE CONTROLLER ON THE TABLE AND TAKE A BREAK DIPSHIT!”

“But you wouldn’t know that from the launch trailer which stays upbeat on the modern-day magical adventure by taking a bunch of words out of context and spinning them into deceitful accolades.”

“Magical”

Sort of split on this. Sympathy isn’t deep because I find this sort of coveting pretty damaging to the industry and culture, but straight up destroying personal items is senseless and, from my perspective, pretty indefensible.

There’s no excuse for property damage in customs...

Giant Bomb just can’t catch a break.

This quadruple sucks. Jess is great and brought back some of the analytical energy Austin brought with him during his short tenure and while the spirit was different, the new GB crew was doing cool things. Jason Oestreicher who was a great presence too also got fired, which is triple fucked up because the man is quite…

And people wonder why they need unionization. 

Microsoft really is where gaming talent goes to die.

The irony of an Xbox exec bragging about releasing games.

We can afford to spend $70 billion buying a company, but can’t afford to pay 10,000 people!

There are always collaborators and bootlickers who think ingratiating themselves with management will make them of the elite, so I’m not surprised the statement “resonated” for a few.

“When saying ‘the ball is in your court’ to deliver our lineup on time and at the expected level of quality, I wanted to convey the idea that more than ever I need your talent and energy to make it happen. This is a collective journey that starts of course with myself and with the leadership team to create the…

I still have a hard time even remembering that we’re actually at the PS5.

you think that way because you only see games as disposable entertainment 

If you know how AI art works, you’d know nothing it creates is unique.
