Based on my knowledge of chess tournaments from this time (binge watching The Queen’s Gambit), they have a guy whose job it is to update a large representation of the board on the wall as the game is taking place, so the audience can see

Do we have any direct confirmation that this is the letter and not one of the recreations that has been floating around?

I have not been following the situation very closely so I would confirm this with someone else, but I believe the actual letter has not been made public. A few images have been floating around that are “artist’s interpretations”, and occasionally these have been presented as Trump’s actual drawing in various forums.

Again, could be off, been a busy week this is just what I gathered from skimming comments

Yeah, there was a guy in my town who would run around with one of these around his neck. Similar type of idiot. He would actually run by the strength training gym and gloat to us that we were wasting our time lol, insisting that all we had to do was run around with a big chain.

Hearing about this news story now I wonder if some influencer somewhere started a trend. People love feeling like they found “the secret”

Very cool stuff! Thank you

Wow what a read! Is this a published article from somewhere or your original work? Really great storytelling, do you have some links for further reading?

Thank you for creating non-fiction!

I think just meeting? Why don’t they meet on discord? This is all very confusing

After all this time friend, you still have me confused with someone that cares about your interpretation of events?

Congratulations on proclaiming yourself the victor of whatever this was! It’s quite fitting that in the end you have decided not just to put words in my mouth, but indeed have chosen to decide the opinion of all future readers as well

I don’t want to make a strawman

You seem quite compelled nevertheless! Sheesh. You wrote quite a lot of nonsense after being repeatedly warned that I’m not interested.

You can scroll up and read your own comments

Sure can! As can anyone else. It makes your ludicrous sensationalist gaslighting totally transparent

My own personal experience is corporate propoganda?

I don’t know you. Wouldn’t be that surprising. You think they make propaganda just for laughs? It’s worth considering the dangers inherent to your process, friend.

These are genuine questions

Lmao

Gen Ai is the same

It’s not lol. It’s amazing how many people will argue for AI by listing the merits of actual creative tools, then just try to package AI in there as well.

I believe the massive VC bait marketing push is to blame for this. It’s been fun in real life learning who is and isn’t hooked into the corporate propaganda IV.

I’m not perverting any argument

You continue to pervert in fact, by saying random things and talking to me as if I said them. Like I said, don’t care, go nuts.

There’s a balance for sure, again tho I would caution against “knowing” things about your work beforehand. I consider that to be a trap. Skyboxes in particular you can do amazing stylish things very quickly by blowing up unexpected textures and adding a few grounding elements, but we don’t need to drill too deeply into any particular element. Doors don’t open for you if you never try the handle

Yeah similar to above my friend, you are simply incorrectly framing the issue rather than exploring reality as it is.

You are merely saying the words “you will either use GenAI or your project will fail, there is NO WAY to economically address any of the problems that crop up during game dev without using it”. This betrays fundamental misunderstanding of what creativity is

It is also ahistorical. What you and seemingly all proponents of the technology seem to forget is the meteoric success of the industry and indie games in particular prior to the AI nonsense.

Finally, I am not even slightly interested in addressing your ridiculous perversions of my previous points. Anyone can easily understand what I’m saying and it’s very telling that you feel the need to misrepresent me so extremely. You may continue arguing with yourself if you wish, I trust that any reader worth reaching will easily be able to distinguish between my words and the strawmen you are compelled to present

Ridiculous and obvious mischaracterization of the point. I’m not gonna waste my time arguing with the random ideas you invent

How do you mean no? Is there some further statement you feel you have left unsaid? This is a public website my friend, please feel welcome to express yourself

What’s settled here?

You and me!

You sound confident in your assessment of the facts, yes? I am equally confident that any reader will easily be able discern what your assessment is worth.

In this manner, we have reached the end of our discussion, yes? We are thusly settled?

You’re welcome! It’s very easy to “dox” someone who uses random non english words, just so you know

Anyway, your easily disprovable misinformation has been presented. Congratulations. Are we just about settled here, then?

Median engineer’s income in your country is 58k. Lots of information available for you for free on google

You can’t “discuss” with someone who baldly asserts that musicians need to be making nearly double an average engineer’s salary in order to barely achieve comfort. You’re absolutely trolling if you expect someone to engage with that
