Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

here's what the game looks like, and I even made a "wind waker" style little intro ✨

(please don't call nintendo thx ✋😔🤚)

To be clear, they are this bold because we (collectively) gave a pass to E33 etc.

We haven't pushed back NEARLY as hard against this garbage as we need to be.

This is starting to get frustrating, first we “forgave” E33 but now other game devs are doing this too??

Bro it’s gonna become normalized if they keep doing this, what happened to crappy drawings like just use MSPaint….

Looks like Nvidia really messed up with this whole DLSS 5 garbage. You don't ever piss off the people who make the games.

Appel à témoins 📢

Je travaille sur le verrouillage du doublage de JV en France et les éditeurs qui délocalisent cette étape pour ne pas s’embêter avec les questions d’IA dans les contrats.

Anonymat garanti, n’hésitez pas si vous pouvez m’aider 👇

oh this place is a ticking time bomb. I see

Ico, my schipperke dog, being petted by someone and enjoying the sun. He is laying on a sofa.

My dog Ico has cancer.
Treating it is very expensive.

I hesitated to ask you all for help but I owe Ico a lot. His love has no bounds. I'm still here thanks to him.

If Ico ever brought you some joy, please consider donating –even a few bucks would help.

Hold the mine is OUT in Early access 🔥🔥🔥

Two posts from Tumblr user awakefor48hours "You should create for yourself" and "it's okay to feel discouraged when creating your own original projects if no one interacts with them" are two sentences that should be able to co-exist with each other On the one hand, you should kill that capitalist in your head that tells you to make art only for the enjoyment of other people. On the other hand, it's totally fine to be disappointed that you spent hours or even days on something that only got 4 notes. You can feel both ways.

Je t'envoie du soutien !

The illustration depicts someone holding their phone, we can only see their hand and thumb holding it. The person is looking at the laydyblog, a photo pictures Ladybug and Cat Noir in the air. The photo is better described in the next alt text. Beside the photo, a short text mentions they're on their way to save Paris yet again. The thumb is hovering over the like button.

This illustration depicts ladybug and Cat Noir on their way to a mission. Ladybug is swinging through the air, looking confident and Cat Noir, in the middle of a jump, is striking a pose for the photo. Behind them, Paris as a background

sick for a while, but i managed to try to make this!

Si vous avez salué l'élection de Zohran Mamdani comme un potentiel rempart face à Trump, eh beh, ça serait cool de limiter le Trumpisme de chez nous, qui est déjà bien, bien là.

Ubisoft n’est plus, vive Ubisoft ! Le 21 janvier 2026, Yves Guillemot annonce la fin du télétravail, la fermeture de plusieurs studios, l’annulation de plusieurs projets et un nouveau plan « d’économie » de 200 millions d’euros. Nous l’apprenons en même temps que la presse – alors qu’aucun de ces changements n’étaient abordés lors des consultations obligatoires des CSE quelques jours plus tôt ! Le 26 janvier 2026, la direction annonce la mise en place d’un plan de départ volontaire qui va impacter 200 personnes au siège. On nous promet l’autonomie des « Creative Houses » mais quid de celle des salarié·es ? Nous avons négocié pendant plus d’un an le télétravail, dans des conditions parfois difficiles. Un accord est en vigueur depuis septembre dans certains studios. Piétiné ! On nous parle de responsabilités, mais celles et ceux qui brandissent ce mot si facilement n’assument aucune conséquence de leur gestion catastrophique.

Nous ne sommes pas dupes : plutôt que d’assumer financièrement des licenciements, on préfère nous pousser vers la sortie en rendant nos conditions de travail insupportables. Indigne. C’est parce que nous aimons Ubisoft que cette situation nous révolte. Les organisations syndicales d’Ubisoft appellent à une grève massive et internationale de tous·tes les employés d’Ubisoft les 10, 11 et 12 février 2026. STOP à l’obsession anti-télétravail aux plans « d’économie » uniquement sur le dos des salariés aux décisions jupitériennes au contrôle coercitif de nos conditions de travail OUI à l’acceptation de leurs responsabilités par nos dirigeants au devoir de sincérité de la direction face à ses manquements Il est temps pour notre direction de comprendre qu’elle ne fait pas ce qu’elle veut, que ce soit avec les bénéfices de l’argent public ou le travail de centaines de personnes ! Sans nous, Ubisoft n’aurait jamais conquis et transformé le jeu vidéo tel qu’il l’a fait. NOUS SOMMES UBISOFT

✊🌀 Ubisoft : trop, c’est trop ! Les organisations syndicales appellent à la grève les 10, 11 et 12 février prochains, face à l’arbitraire d’un patron qui n’ose même plus s’exprimer auprès des employé·es.

Nova-box is proud to present After the Wane, the studio's next game, which will be released on Steam at the end of 2026. ✨

The studio will use rotoscoping for the first time to enhance key moments in the story. Here is the teaser! 💃

i'm feeling the urge to make a game, but i'm torn between making a textual adventure game which would be easier for me, and trying to implement gameplay in a 3D space which would be more difficult and a bigger scope, but truthful to the og idea🤔🤔

Menu Paramètres de Bluesky, section « Accessibilité » : la case « Nécessiter un text alt avant de publier » est cochée

Apparemment ça aide de montrer où est le réglage pour avoir un rappel pour éviter de poster des images sans alt !

DONC :

Paramètres > Accessibilité > activez « Nécessiter un text alt avant de publier »

⚠️ si vous postez depuis un ordi et un téléphone par exemple, activez-le aux deux endroits

On a purple ground, a wooden tray lies with ingredients sitting on it (A tongue, a bowl filled with powder, red eyes, a tooth, a pair of wings, bird feets) In the middle is written "They don't cost an arm and a leg, but you might be able to buy some" In the corners, we can see the Steam logo with the text "Steam page now live!" and the title of the game "Deckum Demonium"

Hi everyone, long time no see. The global video game economy was bad in 2024, and it got worse in 2025. We had hoped that it wouldn't affect us, but it did. 2025 has been a rough year for us. Seed by Seed is experiencing significant financial difficulties, and we have to pause our creative activities. We're not closing the studio, but we had to let go most of our employees (understand: we fired ourselves) and we'll now focus on contract work to stabilize our company. Seed by Seed still exists with a few persons that will maintain our games as much as they possibly can. Nevertheless, Baladins will soon be released on consoles, and more is to come for Jump the Track. The Seed by Seed team sends lots of love to everyone who has helped us on our creative journey so far. You can support us by buying and playing our games, spreading the word, and leaving good reviews on Steam. All efforts will help us return to creating our own weird adventures. The Seed by Seed Team

Hi there, game industry and friends,
This is our turn to do the "square news bad news" thing. Sadly, our studio has been affected by the crisis like everyone else. You can ask questions in thread, we'll try our best to answer.

Cheers & take care ❤️
