your critique of ai cannot be entrenched in aesthetics because there will be a time when you see an ai image or hear an ai song and think "that looks/sounds good". your critique of ai must always be entrenched in the poisonous effect it has on people's brains and the planet.

This is probably the biggest moment of my life 😭 After 4 years, the Game UI Bible has finally launched for all the world to see. A 400+ page tome of Game UI/UX goodness, celebrating all the weird and wonderful intricacies of this field.
From a thorough history of UI in games, to games that break all the rules, to Nintendo's forward-thinking approach to interfaces, and UI's influence on branding and meme culture.
Not only that, I got to interview the legendary designers who have worked on some of the most iconic games of all time, giving a deep dive on each one. Fortnite! Half-Life Alyx! The Batman Arkham Trilogy! LittleBigPlanet! Tunic! We have them all!
I am SO proud of this book, and for you all to read it!
