why i wont be playing inzoi right now

a discussion about inzoi and why i am not going to be making videos on it this week. I use this as away to launch into a broader convo about the video game industry, workers rights in the face of generative AI, environmental concerns. and then circle back to the sims 4 community, how inzoi is utilizing ea’s marketing strategy and my role as a creator and this problem with “unpaid” early access reviews in the life simulation space.

also SORRY my hair looks actually horribly greasy. i was trying out mousse in it and APPARENTLY you are not meant to apply it to the roots. now i know!
