Buffy’s Nicholas Brendon’s death is the sixth of The WB stars since 2024
Brendon tragically joins a growing list of The WB stars dying young. But why is this happening post-pandemic?

T'as posté un truc technique à 22h, ça doit jouer😅
Promis à certains, voici le thread « comment ça marche un LLM » pour les nuls.
Pour ce thread :
• Un LLM prend des mots en entrée et donne des mots en sortie. Nous on va faire ça avec des chiffres.
• On va simplifier un poil, mais tout sera suffisamment proche pour vous faire une idée

I've written too many rebindings UI to enjoy doing one more 😂
It can write tools in Unity or in python that would have taken days to create by a human. Or even UI, inputs or boring stuff.
I think we're kinda safe gameplay-side.
For now I don't feel gamedev is too impacted, gameplay is an abstract thing that requires human to be fun.
But for tools, web, software, refactoring, tests... yeah it's clearly a requirement now.
I'm in a weird place about AI as a tool for devs.
I'm well aware of what it means to the world, the people, the economy, the planet.
But as a dev tool, it's freaking incredible. It's so powerful and game changer you supervise it. And it's addictive.
Maybe we (devs) are kinda doomed :(
I 100% agree with you

De l’incroyable success-story d’une PME bretonne à la crise en cours... Ubisoft, 40 ans d’histoire d’un acteur majeur du jeu vidéo

Hello!
I’m looking for work, either freelance or on a work contract.
I specialise in 2D animation and have good experience in isometric, pixel art, and puppet animation.
Every RT is appreciated :)
I don't think people understand how hard it is to work in the video-game industry right now. If you've been laid off, it can take months if not years to find new work. If you haven't been laid off, you're anxious that you will be laid off.
This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
The new policy, which was accepted in an overwhelming 40 to 2 vote among editors, allows editors to use LLMs to suggest basic copyedits to their own writing, which can be incorporated into the article or rewritten after human review if the LLM doesn’t generate entirely new content on its own.

An adult man named Esoteric Jeff claiming The Onion would be out of business by 2025.
A series of other guys with names like Esoteric Jeff giving The Onion 12 months to live.
The Onion being named one of the most innovative companies of 2026.
Eat shit, lol, and long live The Onion.
Sending support to all my fellow gamedevs who are going through a tough time in one way or another. 💌
I hope you bounce back and keep creating.
Most planets are round, but did you know that some are cubic?
In any case, one thing is certain: no planet is flat.

So the big french studios are in financial troubles... and meanwhile the small indies and freelances are also in trouble because there's no funding for their project and almost no more work, and the market is saturated with talented people.
It's a nightmare. 😔
