Just joined Bluesky and honestly hoping this is the right place to find people who actually care about indie games 🙏
We're making Bodzin — think Zelda vibes, lots of love, two devs doing their best lol. Follow along if you're into that kind of thing! 🗡️

This is the sort of weird building with a name like "The Moneybags House" because it was built by John Q Moneybags, who was originally known for other stuff but is now the dude who built that house, and now it's a museum about itself.

I like how these look like mosaic tiles up close

april fools day always shows that all the corporations know what people actually want them to make, and demonstrate it as a joke before continuing to not do it
AI-driven manipulation comes in three forms, each tested in our research:
• Deepfake videos
• AI-generated misinformation articles
• Personality-targeted political ads
We ran multiple preregistered experiments to see if warnings protect people.
Spoiler: They largely don't.

Thought I'd repost this and see if anything bad happens to those who reply, first
I think we need an inverse thread where we talk about things that normal intelligent people universally agree upon that are for some reason hot takes within your profession
TBH the automated algorithms controlling everything we see suck, and maybe this could help, but Bluesky in particular doesn't seem very receptive to it.
Ironically the community that seems to love this stuff most is run by a guy that wants all feeds to be about himself.
Hell yeah
Damn. A recruiter told me I have a real chance to work for Minecraft again, but Mojang changed the position at the last minute.
I haven't had work in months and that would have been job security. I'm a good art director, illustrator and 2D animator for games. Hire me please

You might dig this spectrogram of the sounds of a 3D printer calibrating itself.
That's just the sort of thing that I'd end up spending a month tracking down edge cases only to realize there was some much easier way to handle it than I did
It bothers me that even if you found an actually good use of LLMs, it would just piss a bunch of (most?) people off to ever talk about it.

We're all just surfing the internet
Gramaphone manufacturers: it already feels difficult to remember how much effort live music was
an "everything is a dick" filter feels inevitable to me
I'm interested to see what effed up ways modders could break Nvidia's filter
I love the look of this
Well, if it hell, I know why I'm here. Almond Milk.
Inititives like this are a huge part of how developers in Canada, Germany, and other countries with such grants were able to wind up such flourishing indie scenes tbh
I bet you didn't know that dinosaurs were once depicted as being scaley and lizard-like because computers weren't fast enough to render their feathery plumage.
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Makes me wonder how many other places would just elect any random person because nobody else from their party runs. Like could it turn the tide of history?
