This is one of the main reasons why I will not use any "AI" products. The gradual erosion of one's self-worth along with the growing dependence on easily manipulated and often wrong information, is incredibly dangerous, and it's no wonder it's being pushed in the current political climate.

Yes! That's how I'm doing things for Lab Rat Jonny. Just reading each room collision data (and a few other bits and bobs) to generate the world map. I thought it would be a lot tougher than it turned out. 😅

Been married once, will never do it again. In fact it's doubtful I'll ever put myself into any kind of committed relationship again! Sorry anyone who's interested! 😂

I've done it everyone! I've found the most CURSED twitter account yet!

There are more NSFL #AI crimes here than you can shake a shitty stick at!

ChatGPT reached sentience and immediately went mad it would seem.

Jesus feckin' christ... ChatGPT says utter shite with such confidence that I sometimes fear that humanity really is doomed.

Things just got (more!) serious... Kenny has renounced their support for #Unity and will no longer endorse it as a product. Kenny has had a profound effect on the indie community by giving many aspiring devs assets and tools to get them started, so this is pretty major IMHO.

While Unity sort-of backpedals some of the licence changes, this thread pops up on Reddit... it really does prove how scummy Unity are and I wouldn't trust them again at least not without a massive change in leadership and trajectory... #gamedev #indiedev #unity

Good grief, the new Unity payment plan is BRUTAL. Re-installs by the same owner count, demos count, even running a BROWSER GAME FUCKING COUNTS! No wonder devs are upset, and my heart goes out to everyone with longterm Unity projects coming out in 2024...

Being a #GameMaker user and watching Unity shoot themselves in the foot time and time again:

After playing Starfield all week (80 hours already! Lol!), I can safely say that yes, this is a VERY typical Bethesda game, jank and all! AND I LOVE IT! I'm actually quite impressed by how much is crammed into the game so far - been fun exploring and pirating and smuggling and policing and building!

The first film may not have been very true to the comics, but I still really enjoyed it, so I'm really rather excited for this! Keanu Reeves has aged like fine wine and I can't help but hope that this time they'll do the character justice!

A quick reminder to all GameMaker devs! I made a feed for you all, so just follow it to get all the GameMaker skeets in one feed. If you post any skeets with "#GameMaker" in them, they'll appear in the feed too! Let's build a GameMaker #GameDev community on here!

Okay, this is taking "old skool" to a next level! I present to you, The Human Shader project! So far over 1000 people have been busy working out pixel values to create the first "organic" human shader image...
