AI accelerates development by enhancing enemy behavior, terrain, and streamlining tasks, enabling faster production and innovation.

Terrain -- sure, good use-case.

Enemy behavior -- probably just a buzzword for what enemy algorithms have been for decades.

Streamlining tasks -- ai summaries for git commits instead of typing it out? work for work's sake, kinda hate it

developers are expected to meet similar to quicker deadlines and the only means to do so is through the use of AI, whether that's mundane tasks like scheduling things or writing emails, all the way to actual game development

this is the real scoop. use llm to generate code, touch a bit then shove into main branch without any understanding.

development is getting the "translation treatment", when it went from being a skilled field into a minimum-wage one crowded by overworked interns with google translate.

The one I read was a collection of silly sketches and some light leftist social critique, but he was Danish communist iirc and worked with the soviets a lot, so I'm not surprised he drew propaganda too

cruelty going full cirle wealthy people taking credit for other people's work kids being little shits

My dad had a small paperback of Bidstrup's comics, I loved reading them! Especially since some of them were quite dirty 😆

goose-stepping will be done in the exact same uniforms but I do agree with everything else.

I love collective storytelling elements as a gm, hate them as a player though -- I wanna relax, pretend to be a person and explore the world, not think about what makes a better story.

Blades in the dark which has a similar thing (I think) is fun but not in a usual carefree manner.

Ironsworn in gm-less mode is an extreme version of that

Early 20th century Italian fascists had a popular slogan "Me ne frego", meaning "I don't care".

People don't really change.

Im not really asking from a power-dynamics standpoint, more as a narrative tool. As a gm I change the world to make what I see as a better story (no cheating necessary I'm literally the universe).

Like, if the players do an ambush of BBE and (according to the rules) one-shot 'em, he'd have a shielding amulet leaving him heavily maimed but alive. Not cause how dare you kill my beautiful npc, it's just kinda anticlimactic otherwise. (Unless the ambush was a huge challenge in itself. Then we're good, murder away)

But maybe dnd crowd agrees that stat blocks are implicit part of the game and changing them is cheating idk
