Saw a headline about the CEO of AI being really excited about the prospect of Generative Large-Scale Computing (AI) giving billions of players a chance to make their own content for games. I also nearly applied for a job at a company that makes LSC/AI models for video games (the market is bad y'all, but I couldn't bring myself to do it).
Which got me thinking about the future of gaming, and honestly, it feels like it's gonna be bad.
One of the selling points seems to be the chance for each player to have their own unique experience, shape the game with their choices and actions, that kind of thing. But like, I kinda don't want that? Don't get me wrong, I like playing games where choices matter and branching storylines give me some replay value.
But I also like knowing that other people are having those experiences too. I like talking to people about my favorite side characters in games, and I love the memes based on their iconic lines. I like commiserating with people about the hard parts, or swapping tips about stuff I found but others missed. I enjoy that video gaming, even when it's a single player experience, can become a social one through shared moments. And even when there are interesting, unscripted moments, they're a fun surprise.
The promise of LSC AI gaming is essentially to do away with this. All moments are both unscripted and unique. Players will talk to NPCs who will respond "like they're people", so who knows what you'll get?
I worry that this also threatens the dying art of the walk through, because nobody's going to have the same conversations. Not all game really heavily on dialogue, but I'm picturing future iterations of Disco Elysium or Baldur's Gate where you genuinely cannot know what dialogue options lead to what outcomes, because there are none.
It's bad enough that we currently have some AI-written online guides with totally made up locations and events. Now the game is going to do it for you. At its worst, it'll direct players on random journeys to nowhere. At best, it'll be impossible to tell when an NPC is misleading you on purpose for game reasons or just because you used the wrong keyword.
I dunno. Just, with the layoffs in gaming and the tech industry in general, with so many rich people putting so much into the marketing hype of LSC AI's, and with so little being done to mitigate it all, everything looks more and more bleak...

TELECOM DISTURBANCES
(And how we can use them to get you news like only those In the Know can knew!)
By now the citizens of Wardview know the town itself is more ‘in the know’ than not. The town knows of the existence of the supernatural. Most cities in America have little isolated groups who are in a mad scramble to keep the big Secret under wraps. In a lucky few towns, the Secret’s skipped entirely, leaving humans to their own devices and only poking at the residents when they’re traveling through for bigger, more discreet locales. 
Living in a town where a neighbor can just as easily be a hivemind of sentient termites in a toy car as they could be another person can make the average citizen of Wardview forget that there even is a Secret in the first place! After all, who could hear Madame Smith’s missive on the ‘glowing stars of the radio towers’ and not imagine the whispers of possible paranormal phenomena on the waves? Who could see the Valencia clinic in the local paper and think the only critters in their care are an adorable little kitty who might have eaten too many treats behind an owner’s back? Who doesn’t know of the late Arachne Jones and his many fantabulous tap-dancing limbs?
Unfortunately for all of us, though, the Secret still remains. 
And when there is a Secret, there are people who aren’t in the Know. And those people who aren’t in the Know don’t know that their phones are being wiretapped by more than the NSA.
Deadringers in Conversation
Late last week, an independent contractor working with the Smith family confirmed that there appeared to be evidence of minor celestial interference with several telephone calls in the area. While the earliest known record of such interference dates to approximately one month ago, a spokesperson for the family has since confirmed that it theoretically could have been going on for longer.
This evidence comes in the wake of the Wardview Citizens’ Watch Forum flooding with reports of strange glitches appearing in phone calls. Volumes have been known to rise or mute. Phones have been put on speaker without warning. Images sent through text appear to have been corrupted with so many jpeg artifacts that the original images are impossible to recover. Many have reported hearing the voices of those they speak to over the phone warping into the voices of different individuals entirely.
More than that, one local woman has reported that one of her neighbors- purportedly not in the Know- confided in her that someone had hacked her dead son’s FacialTome. The woman reports that when she had screenshots analyzed by a wizard, there were traces of celestial interference.
City Council is currently employing the Scrivener Guild of Greater Wardview to investigate whether these messages from beyond the grave are due to a celestial opening metaphysical pathways via technology or whether these messages may be the result of a genuine attempt at post-mortem communication. They could not be reached for further comment at this time.
However, considering the wide range of apparent symptoms appearing in devices, a simple case of post-mortem communication is unlikely. Why bother with such indirect means when ouija boards and spirit phones sit in nearly every house in Wardview?
It seems more apparent that a case of celestial interference is opening a channel through which to travel. 
We at Fuzzbee are looking to take advantage of that.
Tracing Celestial Footprints
“Abandon all hope, ye who enter- but yet know that this is the land where angels tread.”
This is the missive given by the founder of Wardview in 1804 when the fledgling town was started in the growing shadow of its distant cousin, St. Louis. After St. Louis was made famous by Lewis and Clark’s monumental exploration of the west, Sir Harry Shaw sought his own avenue of exploration to distance himself from his distant cousins in England. At the age of 34, Sir Shaw sought the company of a platoon of Jesuits to help find a new frontier on the fertile Mississippi River.
They say that Wardview was founded when one Jesuit saw lightning hit the fertile silt of the riverbed at low tide. In that molten glass, the Father was said to have seen the face of God. We now theorize this was a traveling celestial. 
Thus, Wardview began with the footprint of an angel. Ever since then Wardview has had the highest incidence of celestials in the nation.
We at Fuzzbee are working toward expanding that tradition into the modern era.
Where celestials are concerned, there are miraculous changes. There is no shortage of information on how the mere presence of a celestial’s corpse can impact the environment; reality itself tends to warp where celestials are concerned. Therefore, we at Fuzzbee propose to take advantage of what such celestials leave behind.
According to some of the scans obtained off the record by Fuzzbee, the traces of the celestial in question suggest that there is something traveling across telephone wires specifically. If there is a mode of travel, then there are ways to trace that path. While it may seem somewhat out there to suggest that a web-based company could use telephone towers to further our message, but Fuzzbee Incorporated is hard at work with local telephone companies to acquire access.
With the help of these theoretical metaphysical pathways, we could connect wi-fi calling to these towers and, hopefully, implement our 12-step plan for creating content viewable only to those initiated into the Know.
In Conclusion, In the Know,
We at Fuzzbee are here to serve the greater Wardview community and, if all goes to plan, the whole of the Midwest. It is the goal of Fuzzbee to enable greater communications between communities in the know of the supernatural. Those who speak together, stay together!

to clarify to anyone who thinks ive said otherwise - I am critical of how moo deng has been handled and how it appears that her image is being used for cryptocurrency/etc, but I am not overall critical of her zoo. I would say that after looking at the hippo habitat, it looks nice! I'm not sure where the information regarding habitats in the zoo being crowded/dirty is coming from, but (while I'm not local and have not been there!) to me they look only 'dirty' in the sense that, well, wild animals live in there and they don't prefer pristine habitats. you SHOULD be critical of the care of ANY widely meme'd/popular animal because 99% of the time there's something wrong if it's not a domestic pet, but that shouldnt escalate into outright racist statements about everyone at the zoo are animal abusers/the animals being kept in conditions they clearly aren't. keep being critical of 'celebrity' animals, but calling for boycotts of the zoo entirely etc are both an overreaction and ignorant of more severe animal welfare concerns

Embrace the Future Top Web Design Trends for Your Online Business
The digital landscape is constantly changing, and with it, the look and feel of our online experiences. As the digital face of your business, your website needs to stay at the forefront of design trends to ensure a seamless user experience. This essay will delve into the top web design trends that are shaping the future of online businesses.
Minimalist Design In the world of web design, less is increasingly becoming more. Minimalist design is all about simplicity and functionality. It involves stripping away unnecessary elements and focusing on what’s truly important. This design trend is driven by the need for faster loading times and easy navigation. With the advent of mobile browsing, it's become crucial to offer a streamlined, easy-to-use interface that doesn't overwhelm the user with excessive information or complex layouts.
Dark Mode Dark mode has become a popular trend across various platforms and apps, and websites are no exception. It offers a visually appealing contrast to more traditional, lighter designs, and is easier on the eyes in low-light conditions. Dark mode can also help to highlight other design elements and make them pop. Embracing this trend can mean providing a more comfortable viewing experience for your website visitors, potentially increasing engagement and time spent on your site.
Microinteractions Microinteractions are small, subtle animations or design elements that provide feedback, guide the user, or add a bit of visual interest to your website. They can be as simple as a button changing color when it's clicked, or as complex as a full-page animation. Microinteractions can make your website feel more dynamic and engaging, encouraging users to interact with your content. They can also improve usability by providing visual cues and reinforcing actions.
Staying ahead in the online business sphere means embracing the future and adapting to new web design trends. A minimalist design can improve user experience by making your site easy to navigate, while dark mode can enhance visual appeal and viewing comfort. Incorporating microinteractions into your design can increase engagement and usability. By adopting these trends, you can ensure your online business remains competitive and continues to attract and retain customers in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
