running cover for billion-dollar companies? lmao

silence, bootlicker!

I like Bethesda games but this is the most stale and lazy shit I’ve ever seen from them, and these guys made Oblivion. 

Which is what I was countering, I also work in game dev (on a few RPGs as well) and the talent usually don’t make that much to the point that if I had them do 10 games worth of lines, it wouldn’t be anywhere near a million (and this is using union workers).

Any news on them patching fun into the game? Was surprised to see it didn’t make the cut at launch :~) 

Good lord, who are you hiring for your VO that it costs millions?!

Do you blame political activists when the barista gets your order wrong at Starbucks too?

A child can draw a house without ever seeing another drawing of a house- an AI model purely fed with photos of houses could only…

It is the same way every artist starts.

People are stupid

Is there a more important lesson you’d like to impart? Yes, really. Live your life and don’t harm others. Obviously there are other lessons along the way but in 46 years on this Earth, following this mantra has been pretty good so far. 

Yep. Meanwhile, nothing brings her joy....

Let me describe what she and most squares think...

As a dad of two young boys, this drives me crazy. Just fucking live and don’t hurt anyone. Nothing else. You want to play Tetris? Fucking play it until your fingers bleed. You want to ride your bike? Ride it. I will never understand people’s need to downplay a kid’s (or an adult’s) passions. My parents had me second…
