Added a forcefield that spawns around the combatants when entering a fight. Calculating & highlighting where the forcefield extrudes from the terrain was a fun math challenge

Blanket censoring the word “gambling” is literally a pro gambling move.

Gambling platforms avoid the word for obvious reasons, so YouTube eliminating its use under the pretense of combating gambling is the best fucking cover a gambling platform could ask for.

It’s pretty disgusting.
YouTube removed another of my anti-videogame gambling videos for being pro-gambling.

What a fucking farce of a website.

You can avoid ever having this problem if you choose to make me your favorite game dev >:3
Your Favourite Game Dev Is Probably Using AI; CD Projekt Red Joins Larian In Claiming There Are "Meaningful" Benefits To The Tech
CDPR is already implementing AI technology into "productivity areas".

Was on an 8 hour plane to visit family in Spain & spent a chunk of the trip designing aliens for my narrative universe

Kinda want to write a short murder mystery game involving a bunch of different aliens on a space outpost

"AI placeholder text" is never intended to be a placeholder.
If you want an actual placeholder, then just use Lorem Ipsum.
Any placeholder that could be mistaken as a final asset will just be deemed a "low priority fix" in the dev cycle and never get patched out by the time the game gets shipped

I too, dream of one day releasing a small indie game funded with the humble budget of $10,000,000
'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' had a budget of less than $10M 💰

I've really liked the new Fionna & Cake season, but wtf was that latest episode

"all my friends covered for me & stood up for me while I was arrested, how dare they do stuff without me, I'm going to trash their house"

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Angeline Era released yesterday, Unbeatable releases today, and a new chapter for Of the Devil releases in a few days as well

Indies needa give me some breathing room here like I already work 2 jobs & do my own game dev

Had a student try to use AI to hue shift an image, so I took some time to introduce him to an image editor.

Made me realize that even if there already exists a tool that's easier, faster, and gives more control than AI, kids still use AI because "it can do anything"

Funniest thing about meeting an alien species has got to be finding out something "obvious" that either they or we never invented

Like how indigenous peoples of America used syringes & rubber long before colonizers

Imagine meeting an advanced alien species that never invented pulleys or somethin

Hahaha, right?! Or what about mandatory disclosures for the discrepancy between the salaries of the CEO and their lowest paid worker? That would be so funny, right?! Let’s do it as a funny joke!!!
