@luked.bsky.socialI've been arguing this a little bit lately - if it's actually a core of the thing not just ripping something/someone off... Maybe it's more ok? I dunno. I'm struggling navigating my feelings on it all
@luked.bsky.socialDidn't have "agrees with Glen Schofield about something" on my bingo card but here we are I guess
@luked.bsky.socialDo you have a spare copy around I could purchase? I meant to pack mine and forgot π
@luked.bsky.socialsafe trip back - the food photos have been A+
@luked.bsky.socialI haven't clicked it but I have seen serious people posting about that as genius satire fwiw
@jakemgrumbach.bsky.socialReposted by @luked.bsky.socialNew working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment.
@luked.bsky.socialBut how else would we ever get masterpieces like *checks notes* Space Corridor?!?!?

@luked.bsky.socialI think @duckvalentine.bsky.social has done an incredible service here, not just in reporting the specifics but shining a light on what seems like a fairly solid lose/lose structurally in situations where the us vs them isn't super clear cut
@luked.bsky.socialHonestly that was my takeaway not just for DF but for maaaybe any studio where the bosses want to do the right thing (charitable read). The union organization process seems so busted to me that it excludes _anyone_ with any sort of people management, and those folks legally can't be anti *OR PRO*
@sit-gsa.bsky.socialReposted by @luked.bsky.socialThanks to @luked.bsky.social for a great talk today on the reality Vs the myths of AI for game development. A really helpful corrective to media hype and a lot of food for thought!
Plus some great memes!
@luked.bsky.socialWhen they block someone who quote posted I think the connection gets disavowed. Or they've blocked me too
@luked.bsky.socialThat's an uncharitable way to describe Demis
@luked.bsky.socialCounterpoint - were you really a person til like Wednesday?
@luked.bsky.socialIm torn between my "I told you so" face and my "get a load this fuckin clown" face
@luked.bsky.socialit's insane that we can't have more open conversations about it all here and everyone is so shit scared of saying the wrong thing π
@luked.bsky.socialHonestly that's what I took away from this one too
@luked.bsky.socialIn fairness there's certainly some % of that
@luked.bsky.socialYou and me both brother (on the rare occasion I write code these days)
@luked.bsky.socialReally impressed with the speed of @pocketgamerbiz.bsky.social getting this up - we only recorded it on Tuesday!
