Me: Why can't video games be designed this way? People smarter than me: Because it would not be worth the cost and appeal to enough of a customer base to make a profit Me: I understand, I must destroy capitalism

genuine question, why DON'T MMOs have more procedural/variable content? Like dungeons with variable paths randomly or enemy placement or raids where the bosses are from a random pool rather than the same one every time I feel it'd make the content have a longer shelf life

Apologies, but I'll be temporarily suspending Bow Wow Wednesday today due to passing of Eikichi Iwai, bassist for Final Fantasy XIV's iconic in-house band, The Primals. Instead, I'd like to post one of the greatest songs (and basslines) ever recorded in the franchise's history. Thank you, Iwai.

imagine going to a new restaurant everyone's raving about. You get the dish your friends get and it tastes amazing. then, a few months later, you learn that the chefs hadn't been washing their hands, parts weren't refrigerated and was made of dangerously poor quality ingredients on teflon pans

Today, me and a bunch of other IGF jurors are posting a statement on the encroachment of AI in the competition and the industry in general. We're also stating our intent to refuse to vote for any game that uses AI in any capacity, including coding. I feel it's important to state this in the open.

This year's IGF entries have been incredible. We've been lucky to play games that surprise, connect, and challenge us, and we're excited to vote for our favorites. Unfortunately, there has also been a significant increase in the number of submitted games developed with generative AI tools. This has set off some fairly intense discussion and disagreement across the judge and jury pools, and at this point there is no universal consensus on what (if anything) is to be done. The IGF has affirmed that we may cast our votes according to our own tastes and values. But we, a contingent of IGF jurors, feel that this trend and the games embracing it deserve stronger pushback than a vote in silence. While IGF leadership has approved the release of this statement, it’s important to note that we do not speak for IGF as an organization, or for all IGF jury members. Many jurors had differing perspectives and significant reservations about this statement. Some jurists additionally voiced concern about their ability to safely sign without professional blowback, and we do not intend this letter to serve as a censure of those who were unable to sign. Above all: Our goal is to state solidarity with those who despair over the future of their art, their craft, and their industry—including those who have experimented with these tools in the past, but who now believe they are not in our best interest. We know that change does not come at the individual level, but as independent developers, we also know firsthand the value of pushing back on what an industry has deemed “inevitable.” As jurists, we feel a responsibility to push past defeatism and aspire to a higher ideal. The future is not yet settled. You are not alone. We can stand together. We, the undersigned IGF jury members, believe the following: 1. That generative AI has these negative effects: * Ecological harms at community and planetary levels * Economic harms to working developers and artists * Cognitive and psychological harms to its users * Harm to the increasingly fragile information landscape * Harms to labor and worker power in creative fields 2. That these harms do not depend on what is generated, be it music or writing, art or VO, marketing assets or code. 3. That AI-generated code is not an exception to these harms. Programming is a creative discipline whose labour deserves the same respect we extend to any part of making a game. This extends to the past work used to train these models without the creators’ consent. 4. Finally, that the use of these tools is neither a foregone conclusion in our industry nor that their adoption has been wholly voluntary. We stand in solidarity not only with those developers who have the freedom to unilaterally reject them, but also with those who have been compelled by their employers to adopt their use, those working to establish or improve their workplace policies, and especially with those in positions of precarity who are so often those most pressured to abandon their values. For these reasons, this year we are declining to vote for any game that uses generative AI in any capacity. We urge the IGF to adopt a strong anti-AI policy for future years that disallows games containing any AI-generated work. A.M.

blue wave dems hoping to emulate the "Mamdani Model" need to understand that it requires quick and HIGHLY VISIBLE action on things like full PBS funding and rolling back the ACA cuts ASAP Then you get a Gen Z staffer who knows what they're doing to cut a really slick video of you DOING IT

I saw the bicep heart meme going around and knew I had to try it with the Delafontaines. And since Cinn got her own picture last time it's only fair Bunn gets a turn, with a message of her own! Remember. Regardless of who you are, always be an ally and Protect Trans Kids!

Now that Terrible Lizards has been out for a week I am going to start sharing the creature designs I did for the game~! First up is the hybrid monster. At this early stage it was still a raptor guy before becoming a dilophosaurus guy. Design sketches below 👇
