My new book, Co-Existence, is out today. It is a guide to how to live & work in a world where AI is sometimes, but not always, better than you. (And, for the release, I worked with Opus 5.5 to make a quite interesting experience for the book's website: co-existence.ai/)

I just read an article from the owner of @StoneBladeEnt that is known for Ascension. @Justin_Gary talks about his experience with using AI in our hobby and it's fascinating. It's not a scary or doom and gloom outlook, it's encouraging. Worth the read justingarydesign.substack.co…

Trying to find the perfect game idea? Stop. Start generating bad ones. Write down 20 mechanics. 20 themes. 20 weird combinations. Don’t judge them yet. Your first idea is usually the obvious one. Keep going and you might discover something unexpected. #GameDesign
