As a software engineer, let me just say that it's *extremely* telling that AI has brought lines-of-code back as a metric worth pretending is remotely worth giving a shit about.
It's a terrible metric of basically no utility, but AI bros don't want to measure utility: they want to measure volume.

This is some of the dumbest shit I've ever read.
No explanation why the project should exist at all, or what is gained by it. To anyone with actual experience, it's full of red flags and is clearly chaotic, pointless make-work.
No serious engineer would go near this. #microsoft #aifraud #badvibes

Using gen ai for text and asset placeholders is not solving a problem; games have been made for decades with regular placeholders. studios using AI this way are just testing the water to see what more they can get away with - which will inevitably mean laying off skilled workers, to make worse games

Sora, you can't stop us. Pete already stole Santa's heart and when Grandpa sues the pants off of Santa, we're going to be MAJORLY rich! Now, I won't let you go any further!

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

Listen, 90% of the time, light attacks will get the job done. Nothing wrong with them at all. But the precise moment my foe is stunned or otherwise indisposed, you KNOW I’m calling up my old friend, the heavy attack

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

yes, our video game has a bold new approach to stand out from the pack: it is not welcoming to either first time players or hardcore veterans

There are a lot of Onion/Clickhole articles that have become meme-ified to the point that they serve as short-hand responses to posts - "Worst Guy You Know Makes Great Point," "No way to stop this says only place it happens," etc, but I feel like this is an underutilized one.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”
1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015

![Comic. PERSON 1 to person with white hat: I finished all the gen-ed back in 2010, and I’m up to the 400-level courses in most departments. But now one of my advisors is saying I “can’t have more than 20 majors” and “need to graduate next year.” It’s outrageous!
