Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

I was helping with a friends indie game, a #lowpoly survival horror game inspired by the first Silent Hill.
It's been delayed by nearly a year but, I can post some of the prop assets I made for it.

Just sat with someone for 8 hours while they tried to use ChatGPT to code an elevator to show me how "good" AI is now...
They ended up with an utterly broken mess. At least I got some drawing done.
AI gamedev is trash.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.

Today's #gamedesign train wreck discourse seems to be implying that "game design" isn't art and more akin to pulling the wings off a butterfly.
Spontaneous and holistic game creation only?

There's no need to "host" a hastag, it only give you visibility and buries everyone who replies while boosting you. It's so insincere and self serving.
Encourage others to use the hastags independently.
I was hoping this would disappear with twitter.

Today on the internet:
I like this thing.
But if I like it, the algorithm will then flood my timeline with things arbitrarily connected.
So I won't like it.

Well these have a depressing number of upvotes on the Steam SubReddit.
I guess not paying humans and using AI slop can now be called an artistic choice.

Some more cheeky #GodotEngine 'watch-dev'.
On the one hand, was an interesting challenge thinking of a game that made sense on the form factor. Only radial game I could think of was old school Tempest.
On the other, these devices clearly aren't made for it. I rinsed the battery in no time!
