- this is probably the first time i've ever said it on the internet but I'm a hell of a good writer I think I take it for granted sometimes because it's hard to see vs the immediate visual impact of artwork, but a podcast once called the writing in Slasher U "incredible" and I unironically cried

- anyway Team Slasher would rather die in an acid vat than use genAI at any stage of the game design process and you can take that to your grave TM
- f you need gen AI to generate a bunch of "ideas" lines for your AA video game, and it is your job to write those lines, I don't even know what to tell you, man as if there aren't 100s of game writers who would kill to write those lines For Real and you're handing them to a fuckin AI
- welp there goes all my enthusiasm
- NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
