If 20 years on social media has taught me anything, it's that posting is the first step towards disappointment, but I appreciate everyone who has followed, subscribed or checked out my videos, and I look forward to finding new people who love video games.
Promise Mascot Agency is a chill driving game set in a world full of freakish monsters and narrow doorways. It reminds me of long nights cruising around Vice City, and since the devs promise no Gen Ai too, it's an easy recommend.

This might be a crazy plea #blackskygamers but I’m shooting my shot.

I WANT TO BE A MEMBER/PART OF SOMEONES BLERDY, POP CULTURE, & VIDEO GAME RELATED PODCAST.

I want to go through all proper steps. Fill out a resume etc. I want to dip my toes in before maybe doing one for myself and BSG

I've been struggling with the idea of how to still talk about indie games without worrying about if it used Ai.

This is one of the things I'll be looking for when I'm searching for the next thing to review.
One day I'll add more to the awards section of Monsters of Mican's steam page...

But for now this is okay!

Get in, losers, we're talking about tools and history and humanity, and there's a lot of satisfying footage of bad guys getting absolutely merc'd by things that weren't designed to merc bad guys.

Big ups to @katieandcatburger.bsky.social for her absolute S-tier voice work! Give it a watch, yeah?

Hilarious choice of image to represent this article. Beyond Good and Evil 2, notoriously successful game. Surely GenAi can fix whatever has been going wrong with that one for 20 years.
Ubisoft boss believes generative AI is as big a revolution for games as the shift to 3D, as tech is embraced company-wide

There should be some kind of class action against forcing AI into software you already use. I didn't consent to running a coal power plant just because I have had the same Gmail account for 10 years.

I can get on board that it's difficult to get into rogue-likes because of the time investment or repetition, but I saw someone equate them to gambling that you pay for with your time and just... No? You'd have to completely ignore the skill and knowledge component to even pretend that's true.

🚨 MORSELS REVIEW 🚨

Would love to get some eyes on this! I know it’s an uphill battle posting about a game with a small footprint post-launch, but I think it’s worth making space for reviews like this.

I hate Ai, but I also hate angrily posting about Ai, I'd much rather be celebrating awesome projects that don't use it. More of this, please.

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.

If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

There's an easy "the take is that c suite execs who put AI should jump from extreme heights" joke in here for anyone who doesn't mind catching the ban.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

In light to current discourse and as a card carrying Gen AI hater, I am ashamed to admit that in a recent review I struggled with the nuance.

I didn't know that they had used AI in internal builds of their game when I started my review, and when I found out I wanted to forgive a small indie dev -

Scorn is really interesting. Someone took a first person puzzle game with the coolest art direction they could, and mixed it with the worst survival shooter combat imaginable. Everybody is so creative!
