A workbench with a lot of plywood pieces covering it, some are being put together
Screenshot of part of a newsletter with text: "It is not worth it to be a perfectionist about this content - because it barely exists as content - it exists as context. It is the valleys to our peaks, the depths to our lands. If the good-enough was as high in quality as our great, nothing would be great. Nothing would stand out, and nothing would be remarkable. We'd stand in a flat land with no features besides a perfectly straight horizon, as if a game project we haven't started to build yet." Image of The Netherlands looking very flat. Followed by caption: "Basically, if you don't somewhat stick to peaks and valleys, your game will look like the Netherlands."

Screenshot of results showing the Union Organizer outcome described as: "Al is a real tool being used to extract real labor value from real people without paying them. You don't care about the singularity - you care about the artists, writers, and workers getting strip-mined by capital. You're not anti- technology. You're anti-theft."
Two people intensely focused on playing a game with steam controllers on their couch.

Plywood edge joint using 2 wooden splints or something to align. Glue squeeze all over the gaff.
2 pieces of plywood nearly pulled together for gluing end to end. 2 thin wooden slats hold the pieces in line and provide glue surface but basically no structural integrity. I care not.

Screenshot from article: Notably, the Guerrilla co-founder said he sees an opportunity for a game engine based on new construction principles and with "the full integration of AI" According to Brussee, current popular game engines like Unreal were "made for and by people who have to click through a menu with a mouse. If you want to change something, it has to be done for the entire engine." "The rise of Al means that we need to approach the development of this kind of crucial software differently," he said. "As an old hand with a vision of how things should work, I see opportunities there."

A plank of wood on a workbench with a relatively intentional-looking hole on the side for mounting said plank as a floating shelf. Unfortunately the hole appears to also come out of the top of the plank because the hole was not drilled parallel with the surface of the plank.
