Don't you understand? The human race IS an endless number of monkeys. And every day we produce an endless number of words. And one of us already wrote Hamlet

At first glance I thought this was a (very cool) spaceship design!

I wasn’t complaining. I might not eat it but don’t mind seeing it.

Can’t preemptively mute everything I’m not into. 😆

It really gets my goat when people tell me I may not like AI but it’s here to stay & there’s nothing we can do about it. Yes there is! We don’t have to bow down to every corporate demand! We can fight, regulate, use the law. We can & must ensure this tech benefits humanity & doesn’t dismantle it.

I fully think less of you if you're impressed by or prefer the Nvidia demo today. Slop.

Mixel’s Scorpion Corner Welcome to my Scorpion Engine pages. I’m trying to document as much as I can about SE and add any tips and tricks I find along the way. Here you’ll find tutorials and any other resource…

Ever wanted to make an #Amiga game in Scorpion Engine? This could be a good place to start: mixelslab.com/scorpion/ - it won’t appear new to readers of Zzap Amiga, but I’ve expanded on it and built a section for more tutorials and deep dives.

But that makes the n64 retro but the 3DO, CDi, CD32 (all older than the n64) and then Saturn and PS1 (contemporaneous with the N64) all somehow not retro?

I really liked this one! Damn that’s a long time ago, no idea what happened to my copy.

The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

This whole thing seems so bizarre, from eurogamer’s review there’s nothing *that* subversive and certainly nothing illegal to have represented..

Is it just that they know tabloids (etc) are going to go crazy about it and they’re worried payment processors will be pressured to drop them?

They also don’t understand how much of the finished art comes from the process of making it. They think the initial “vision” is the magic, and the rest is donkey work. But you learned more about your creation by drawing (painting / sculpting / writing / coding) it. It’s a conversation and a journey.

Showed my dad my Miyoo Mini.
He instantly got interested asking if it got Amiga, C64, CPC, all the old PCs and consoles he had.
"yuh, got all of them"
"man technogy isn't all bad, huh"

The GENUINE smile on his face, love to see it.

Everyone ten years ago when The Force Awakens came out: “Wow, this is dumb. Why are the fascists just doing the exact same plan again?”

Everyone now: “Oh.”

the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit

what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those

making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too

oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things?

seems important
