    5/24/26 Update #28 Life Update: Still working part-time at the warehouse making $12,000 a year. Yep its bad because there is nothing new on job front, just more applications and rejections. Worst job market of my lifetime and I was already in my late 20s in 2008. The stock market is not the...

    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    HOT! - AI - 
    It's relevant to this The Coming AI Job Apocalypse thread we're in. Today Meta confirmed those rumored layoffs are true and they are due to their AI push. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/23/meta-will-cut-10percent-of-workforce-as-it-pushes-more-into-ai.html My process thread has chronicled my...

    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    HOT! - AI - 
    I hope you're kidding. I've worked in tech (specifically games) for 24 years and people like myself and others with skill can't even get work. A reason why I started my own company after reading TMF and Unscripted. Apparently, Meta is about to layoff another 8,000 though in May and more later...

    Snap laying off 1,000 employees. I believe it. This type of talk always gets me: "Snap is looking to lower its cost and become more profitable". Ah the neverending chase... MORE profitable, so you're already good. Not enough. View: https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2045652792006844564?s=20

    Can someone tell me what I'm actually buying? (I'm being sarcastic somewhat). "Usage" WTF does that equate to? So how many tokens, etc. This is like buying a bag of apples at a store and you can't see how many are in there. For the first time I'm actually hitting my weekly limit already...

    I use Claude and ChatGPT daily but I started using Grok imagine for the first time and wow... I found an old photo of Natalie Wood (RIP) and I chose her because even though I was only a toddler when she died, my mom used to watch her movies. I always thought she was very beautiful. I used Grok...

    I forgot it released until this morning. I was literally on the dock in the warehouse I work in at 3am downloading it on Audible. I'm probably 30% done. Enjoying it. You had me at the bridge story. I was thinking, "he held back all these years, the full story revealed.... insane" :rofl:

    If you are not good at marketing, you will not sell a good game. Publishers allow you to focus on working on the game while they are the ones who "sell" it. This was the mistake I learned in my first game which is noted in this thread. I've also actually worked for publishers and worked in...

    4/2/26 Update #26 POSSIBLE BREAKTHROUGH. I pitched a well-known indie publisher with a trailer and other information about my game. Didn't expect anything really since publishers always get hammered by people sending them stuff. Days later they responded and said they'll look into it...
