Good on Valve honestly, and Steam for this label. I like to know what companies scrapped teams to put out AI slop.

A Valve artist has defended AI disclosures on storefronts like Steam, saying they only scare those with "low effort" products.

It's funny still hearing stories from your former employer from time to time reminding you how much of a shit head they are.

It also serves as a reminder not to work for doctors directly haha. Moving away from private practice has been the best decision I've made in a long while.

Hi Itch, author of the original article here. Thanks for ignoring my repeated requests to comment, and then coming out of the woodwork days later to claim that my article - which verified each game's indexing status independently - is 'full of misinformation.'

You're full of it. (thread)

This article is full of misinformation unfortunately. The games Wendy and co. are indexed: itch.io/search?type=...

I think maybe the person is confused because it doesn't show up in the autocomplete? Autocomplete only shows the top ~1000 games: itch.io/t/3361091/se...

Empire of Silence by Christopher Roucchio has been a pretty good read so far.

Debating sharing some action screenshot #gpose from FF. Would this be cringe? 🤔

Empire of Silence has been scratching the political intrigue itch.

But sometimes I just want to strangle Hadrien. Dammit boy.
