Errata Ad Infinitum

A blog, mostly about video games and my opinions of them. Also a lot about writing now.

you don't have to be an artist to stand with the artists, you don't have to be a writer to stand with the writers

you don't have to be the one affected to know what is right

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

Eagerly awaiting all of our grandparents telling us how the debt ceiling is because the GOP was bravely holding the line against work requirements that the evil Biden admin wanted to add. Gonna be amazing.

who names their kid bacon

[ameliacgormley]

Calvin and Hobbes were Reformation-era philosophers, as was Frances Bacon. I’m better his daughter’s name is actually Frances, but he calls her by the appropriate last name of the philosopher, just as Calvin and Hobbes are last names.

I think the reason so many LOTR ripoffs fail is because they make their Aragorn analogue the main character, when the entire point of Aragorn is that he’s “the person the villains think is the main character, but is Not.”

Aragorn seems like a traditional King Arthur style hero— he has huge Main Character Energy because he’s supported by destiny, by bloodline, by all these magic artifacts and prophecies, and etc etc. Frodo and Sam are Just Some Guys. Aragorn recognizes that Sauron understandably thinks he’s the main hero of this story ….and he pretends to believe it too, spending the entire series using himself as a diversion to prevent Sauron from seeing Frodo and Sam.

Aragorn’s whole thing is that knows he seems like the Main Hero of this legend to people who don’t know better —- but he also knows that he isn’t, and that his role is just to keep Sauron’s eye on him in order to protect the people around him.

And it works! Sauron is so fixated on defeating his Legendary Destined Archenemy with Extreme Main Character Energy that he completely overlooks the two ordinary little guys who were the real threat to him all along.

[mrnelson007]

In my experience one of those universal things people have when they grow as readers is the gradual change from “wow Aragorn is so cool and amazing what a hero” to “actually Sam is the hero of the book”.

My power has gone out twice so far in as many days with no warning or apparent reason. Love our crumbling American infrastructure. Our basic utilities are collapsing, but hey, at least Boomers can pay marginally lower tax rates, and isn’t that what really matters?

[ayeforscotland]

Oh no, Ubisoft games at risk of becoming even more bland and shit.

[ayeforscotland]

I think the thing annoys me about this more than anything is that the Games Industry, which I work in, currently has a problem with junior roles.

It is exceptionally difficult to find a large studio willing to hire someone with no industry experience, it’s often the case that a large studio won’t be hiring junior roles at all.

So there’s no new talent being cultivated. And the game industry needs that talent to evolve and survive!

First drafts of NPC dialogue is 100% something that junior writers would be able to do. It is incredibly frustrating that large studios are creating tools to cut down roles.

I would argue that foregoing new junior candidates in favour of these tools goes against ethical game development.

[mrnelson007]

It also burns the studios in the long run, since no junior talent now means no senior talent in the future. This is a bet that AI will eventually be able to do all of it, which is both a very bold prediction and also a thing that would fundamentally transform society in a way that makes plans like this pointless regardless.
