Well this pretty much says it all. #accessibility #GAConf gaconf.com

Screen shows a slide from the Games Accessibility Conference. At the top is a hashtag, #GAconf, igda-gasig underneath (the organisations running the conference).
Below that it says "Back Soon!"
Below that is a quote: "You might be hot shit now, but one day, your fingers are going to cramp, your hands will shake, your eyes will blur. None of us are above getting old. None of us are going to stop gaming" -Ellohime

False, using these tools without a clear strategy is just ineffective and can be even harmful for your business. The more tools you use, the more people you need to scale them.

For anyone trying to make sense of Musk having Twitter engineers print out their code and show it to Tesla engineers… my view is we don’t need to look far to see what is happening. Elon doesn’t like to pay severance. From my coverage in Tesla’s secret layoffs in

@Pragmatic_Eng

Tesla is terminating ~10% of its workforce and making it look like these are performance-related layoffs. But it’s actually a mass layoff happening in one go. I talked with three software engineers who all exited on Wednesday, 14 June. The setup was the same in all cases:

The manager of the employee read from a script when terminating the employment, saying they were terminating based on performance.
These meetings were done in secret, in the sense only the affected employee and their manager knew of the layoff.
Employees had five business days to accept the severance package, which is one week only. Compare this with both Klarna and Coinbase’s offerings of at least 14 weeks-worth of severance.
Managers were not allowed to say the layoffs were en masse; to do so risked their own position.
Tesla is trying to bypass the WARN act in California in order to avoid paying severance. This act requires the employer to

New Paper: Optimists at Heart - Why Do We Research Game AI? A vision paper about what motivates researchers in my field - but of relevance to anyone curious about what drives modern AI research. Will thread a few tweets below about the paper's points. arxiv.org/abs/2206.03261

A screenshot of the paper. The abstract reads:"In this paper we survey the motivations behind contemporary game AI research by analysing individual publications, the researchers themselves, and the institutions that influence them. In doing so, we identify some negative effects on our field, caused both by external forces outside of our control as well as institutionalised behaviours that are easily overlooked. We suggest how we might begin to address some of these issues as a community, and reassert ourselves as the primary driving force behind the field. "

i freaking love this game i want to drive a karby forever

Give me a reason, any good reason at all for why a talk at GDC should not be recorded. people spend thousands of dollars and restructure their entire project planning to afford to come here. It feels like a catastrophe to let that knowledge die in the conference room. #GDC2022

reminder to US workers: it is NOT illegal to discuss your salary and job conditions with your coworkers. it is in fact ILLEGAL for your workplace to attempt to prevent you from doing so or threaten you with retaliation. remember, keeping your wages a secret only helps your boss!

No. Layoffs happen regardless of sales. In fact, while boasting of record revenue, Kotick laid off hundreds of staff. Plus, nobody should feel pressured to give money to a tax dodging company run by literal abusers. You wanna support developers, push for unionization. twitter.com/KyleThatKyle/s
