AGAINST ALL ODDS, THOSE WHO BELIEVED BLUESKY THAT THE CRASH WAS DUE TO A DDOS
AND THOSE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE BLUESKY AND WERE SURE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AI VIBE CODING
WERE
BOTH
RIGHT
if we limit ourselves due to bad faith actors we will smooth ourselves into spheres and they will still not respect us. attempting to mollify bigots will not work so we should push back instead.
i have very rapidly become incapable of thinking about anything that isn’t this video

So you're telling me that now, as game devs, we have to coddle players who refuse to read? Fuck that shit. Wall of text. Refuse to read it? Get fucked, the game is not for you. Read or die.
Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.
Artificial intelligence is by far the soggiest bread we've ever been sold, and we're toasting the planet trying to get it crispy.
Fans of Bladerunner, Neuromancer, Ghost in the Shell, really any and all cyberpunk, should give this game a look!
As raph koster put it, what we call "fun" is in fact learning the game.
As stanislas dehaene puts it , failing is the requirement to learning. Be prevented to fail and you can never learn.
Be prevented to fail, and you can never have fun.
I love when games start begging me to change the game difficulty after I die for the 50th time like it has somewhere to be
Dread Delusion is out on consoles ⚠️RIGHT NOW!!!1!⚠️and does not have DLSS 5

A large block of sentient tofu
Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?”
Me (indie dev in this economy):
“Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.
This is blackout poetry to me
The aesthetics of the 3.5" floppy are immaculate.
It's peak consumer electronics design from the company that brought you the Walkman a few years before!
I could write a book on the design of just this floppy, and how it's so much better than the 5ÂĽ"/8" floppies that came.
From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.
Great chance to post my all-time favorite headline
A screenshot of a door drawn in magenta against a dark background. A dim view of a hallway can be seen through a tall window beside it. A crudely shaped, light purple dialogue box at the bottom reads in a rounded sans-serif font: "Have you ever gone home after being away for a long time?".
'Sup y'all! We've got something to show to a limited few of you. How we're describing it for the moment is: a "pain-of-the-past" point & click mystery with a verb-based interface. Does that sound interesting to you? Do you want an early say on the direction of the project? If so, then drop us a dm!
Ireland has 4 competitors at the Winter Olympics, all in skiing. which is awesome because Ireland has no snow or mountains. our main winter sports are drinking, singing Fairytale of New York & spreading respiratory illnesses.
unfortunately we do not seem to have a ton of other alternatives available. current funding sources include:
- directly on stock market
- company who gives you money is on stock market
- midsize deal with indie publisher (you do not have this)
- pay your 5 contractors in gum. you also receive gum
this is what really killed the place even before the nazis fully took over
the Venn diagram of “people willing to pay for Twitter so their replies are boosted” and “people capable of making funny comments” is just two completely separate circles side by side
Aw, Microsoft wants to "rebuild trust" in Windows! Like the comic, with fhe dog and the ball!
"No reverse any of our actions which actively destroyed it! Only give back trust"
"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by _The Thing_ and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell." -Consultant (Game Design), Washington State
Choice quote from GDC's state of the industry report:
Some of the mists in our minds are never going to dissipate. Some bits of us are always going to be stuck in November twilight. We walk and jangle the dozens of bottles of pickled time.
