Video Game Designers Are Scared of Artificial Intelligence | Gianmarco Soresi | Comedy Crowd Work

[@magdalenadrysdale4582]

Glad Gianmarco finally got to do his video game grandparent joke to a room full of people who work on video games lol

[@hannathompson7998]

Yesss!

[@the.dirt.man.]

Shoulda grilled the elder scrolls girl on ESVI

[@dftp]

For what? So that you can hear her say "I'm under NDA" ten times 😂

[@avataraarow]

I don’t think Gianmarco plays a lot of video games lol. Never really heard him talk about them on his podcast or anything and doesn’t strike me as a big gamer, so I was kinda assuming he has only heard of elder scrolls but wouldn’t know to ask “where the fuck is elder scrolls 6 its been 13 years”

[@aqueelkadri8371]

As soon as she said Elder scrolls and Dragon Age, an involuntary "holy shit" was uttered by my vocal chords

[@hesherette]

the way she said "are you familiar with" all humbly lol she's awesome

[@donultrawide]

My life has been taken up by Dragon Age so much recently, I thought they were just gonna say some indie games or something 😭

That autism joke was gooood and this crowd was not ready

[@happycamperds9917]

"I got autism" implies she was infected with it by working on video games.

The last joke broke me. My ribs hurt from the laughter. I work in the industry and also am autistic. That is so funny.

[@the.dirt.man.]

Can confirm. I work with autistic adults, every one of em wants to be a game designer

[@SpoiltLittlePrincess]

I used to wantt to be but I'm shite at art! I could write or voice act, though, though I'm unlikely to gun for such opportunities at this point in my life.

[@the.dirt.man.]

@@SpoiltLittlePrincess don’t write yourself off, you can do whatever you want to do

[@souldancersbyjennifer]

​@@SpoiltLittlePrincess yeap don't give up just yet. Making video games are so much more than just being good at drawing or designing. There are very non-visual aspects like script writing, designing game flow and programming. Even on the visual side, it can be a lot more technical and artistic. Most assets in video game visuals are designed by a top few, then asset designers referenced heavily and use very specific tools to create the effects that the company wants. The room for creativity and artistry is actually quite scarce. Smaller indie company designers might need to take up multiple roles in the design process, but bigger companies have more specified roles. So pick what works for you...

[@SpoiltLittlePrincess]

@@souldancersbyjennifer Oh yeah, i could definitely see myself getting involved with plotting, scipting, parts of the concept process and all that fun stuff! I have a few friends who are game designing or intending to and I'll likely get involved with those somewhen.

[@nickenglehart6469]

Damn... why did ya have to call me out like that, 23 years old and ever since I was like 11 I've wanted to make games. I love story I love coming up with the tales and all that stuff, I have like 30 games already fully planned I make some changes here and there as I think on it more. But for most parts my entire series is one full book. Just gotta get connection with people to actually make it... I've tried coding that... just ain't for me lol

Autistic adult here & while I’m no good at video games (I did not get math autism) I do have an autistic/adhd friend who works for/on Destiny 2 which is so cool.

[@God_Is_An_Atheist]

That reminds me of a friend who started working in the video game industry right after University about 16 years ago. Back then he always said things like "Oh, I have a job for life, I love this industry" and now it's always "I'm so f**ked, I hate this industry" 😅.

[@DaveE99]

Aparently now with ai it’s not just people that are replaceable but so are companies but they are now individuals so what is it called when companies want a union?

Ooof as someone who works in the same industry I'm also worried. AI doesn't make anything good though.

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

Worried about AI is common but it's too impractical for AI to replace jobs. Just continue being human

[@Nerdorkgeek]

I saw a short from this video earlier and I’m curious if this video was edited down a bit cause in the short Gianmarco made a really good joke about “mild OCD” being the scientific term for Jewish, which seemed to prompt the “I got the autism” comment from the audience member, and I got kind of confused watching this video where it seems totally unprompted lol. Either way, two of my favorite jokes (as a ND gamer who has a number of autistic/OCD/Jewish/gamer friends lmaoo)

[@JustMe_OhWell]

So funny I wonder why we're obsessed with video games. 😂

[@hole1274]

It seems like a lot of the struggles of autism are with ambiguity. Videogames are designed to provide unambiguous instantaneous feedback. If a videogame makes someone say "wtf, why did I die?" or "what could I have done?" the game designer has failed.

[@huxideYT]

​​@@hole1274Also helps that we (or at least a disproportionate amount of us) like to figure out and experiment with systems (e.g. normality, gender), and video-games are loaded with exploitable and optimizable systems

[@Let_Toons]

... Also escapism. When reality is a b!tch fiction enthralls you like a black hole.

[@TheAluvisify]

@@huxideYT I think this is the more correct answer. I play Path of Exile and holy shit does that game have some "ambiguous" feedback that makes you want to fucking punch a TV. However, it's absolutely rich with systems, experimentation, optimization, etc. and I could definitely see a large number of those on the spectrum playing it to exploit and "solve" all those things.
