Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?

Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

'millenial toy recreated with military drone resources'

we unfortunately have to hand it to the 'nostalgia is a tool used by fascism' guys, they kinda locked in on that one

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

There is not a single thing in my life or career I've integrated the 'AI experience' into willingly, and not a single thing in my life or career that's been improved by having AI unwillingly shoved into it. I don't know why there's a demand for this.

something that's been really irritating me for a bit is how people don't seem to understand why hytale isn't gonna be in a good state at launch

they want feedback from their community, and they want to get it into people's hands ASAP to escape the curse that's been hanging over it

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

this article really lays it all out on how much we rely on section 230

please do not rest on your laurels, contact your rep and advocate for protecting Section 230!

I love Super Mario Bros, it's my favorite JPlatformer. Doom is a great game too, one of the best USAFPSes out there

NEW from me on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: I wasn’t going to write about the Larian AI backlash. Then I woke up at 5:30 this morning with a whole dang blog in my head.

How can you know if your workers are “okay” with using genAI tools if you have so much power over them should they push back?

PRO TIP

If you have YouTubers you like and follow and watch their videos a lot

leave innane/positive comments on their videos. The algo is all fucked up for YT creators and a lot of videos get sent to the void for whatever reason.

I hate doing it, but I've been trying to do it.

Good! SA is not just rape; it encompasses a wide variety of breaches of trust and boundaries, and every single one of them is disgusting, abhorrent, and should be punished severely. Hopefully she actually realizes how horrid she was being and stops trying--

There’s a pretty concerted effort to rehabilitate Blow’s image from people who swear by the mantra of separating the art from the artist, but I will tell you a truth that will get lost in this debate:

it’s not like Braid was that good
Okay please let's not call him that

@gamegarage.bsky.social Will the upcoming update allow us to disable controller vibration? It exacerbates my wrist issues pretty bad ;w;

As a gamedev of nearly 30 years, I can absolutely definitively say you do not need AI as a placeholder.

You know what we used as place holders?

Fucking cubes.

Grow the fuck up.

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable)

call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line

trans people deserve so much better
Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care.

The bill passed only 216 to 214.

4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed.

I have absolutely zero sympathy for studios intentionally conflating useful tools with LLMs in order to launder the image of LLMs then being surprised those legitimate automation tools are now a PR liability. If you are calling inverse kinematics AI you can't be surprised when people get mad at that
I was wrestling with this all of yesterday based on a producers comments from July + the Larian stuff. It's all about as clear as mud and I'm exhausted.

What has become clear is that unless I'm inside a studio or someones a big dramatic proponent I won't really know one way or another and it's shit
@patstaresat.bsky.social Turns out Broche was referencing a AI tool suite on unreal engine not GenAI.
