My #swordtember project this year is a playable game where I upload a new sword to the game everyday. Still can't believe I'm doing it, and it might not be any good, but the game exists. See you on other side. #gamedev #godot

Although the vast majority of contributors are busily working on Godot 4, a small problematic group refuse to stop improving Godot 3

They've been working hard on the newest (oldest?) feature branch: #GodotEngine 3.7. Read all about it in our latest blog post:

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

JUST POSTED: Everyone Is Wrong, our response to the recent series of arguments that – based on the hypothesis that Harris lost and Dems underperformed in 2024 due to (summarizing broadly) voters’ perceptions that Dems are too far left – Democrats need to move right to win.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

I will try a bad game made by a dreamer who has no idea what they are doing and failed specatularly than even the most polished game using Generative LLMs. I have no interest in playing a game by people with no interest in making it.
I don't hate on bad games if they clearly make an effort. I will forever love The Demon Rush for shooting for the moon and blowing its own legs off.

But when I see an RPG Maker game proudly announcing that it's part-written by ChatGPT? Fuck everyone involved in that game. Absolute losers.

I'll be the fun police.

Don't play Arc Raiders. Do better. Play a game with real voice acting.
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Me playing with my beard while reading this: Are you sure?
I feel like reminding people that any body language analysis or similar practice that says "If this person is fidgeting or messing with their hair or avoiding eye contact, they're being DECEPTIVE" is bullshit because neurodivergent folks do that shit ALL THE TIME.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

The news is out, our indie game is coming to all platforms in 2026! Here's how it plays🧵

"The Witch's Bakery" is a Cozy Adventure RPG inspired by Kiki's Delivery Service and Persona 5.
You play as Lunne, a witch-baker who can dive into people's hearts and heal them with croissants!🥐

"It's not about the literal content, bit the anonymity"

This should scare everyone. You can't have democracy without privacy.
You can not have freedom of speech without certain level of anonymity.

(I'd argue monetized vtubers are not anonymous since platforms require their tax info...)
I asked my source why VTubing would be considered high risk. Content creation subgenres are deemed higher risk if they lack a content creator using a face cam. For VTubing, it’s not about the literal content, but the anonymity

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence

I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥
#SaveSpeech

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

I know this just a 20 second video from a still in development indie game. I will still say that this is everything I want in video games. Pretty but lower poly graphics paired with much better animation flourish than the graphics harken back to. I love this.
patrons can play this literally right now on my discord btw
