If you’d like to read the report exposing the anti trans people ‘Gender Critical’ movement in the UK - which sadly Amnesty took down after bottling it due to legal threats from the Edinburgh Funder - here it is. Like_a_snowball_final_.pdf - Google Drive drive.google.com/file/d/1PSsa...

The EHRC guidance slipped its way into law by default overnight. Do not self-police and do not let toilet weirdos and changing room weirdos dictate how you go about your life.

Got im so excited to play Big Walk after my holiday

REMEMBER The guidance coming into effect today doesn't dictate what you're allowed to do as an individual. It for service providers and business owners. Do not cower in fear, do not reduce yourself, do not isolate, that is one of the intended effects.

Gonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.

What would a video game feel like with zero sound? We asked three sound designers (@missgameaudio.bsky.social, @rubenrincon.bsky.social & @cabreracomposer.bsky.social ) whose credits include Zero Parades, Control, Gris, and Neva. The answer:

The Sound Team Behind Zero Parades on What a Game Feels Like With No Sound At All: ‘Half-made. Boring.’ - Bonus Action

Bonus Action sat down with Mirella Díez Morán, Rubén Rincón, and Fernando Cabrera to learn about the sounds that make a game.

There is no solidarity stronger in the world than between people who work in the media. No matter how repugnant you were as a person, if you were a good laugh at a dinner party or in a green room you must be mourned and protected. bsky.app/profile/beng...

Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

in the epic The People Vs UK Media court case of our dreams, Liddle wouldn't be Exhibit A, but he'd certainly be an exhibit. handsomely remunerated throughout his life for spraying bile across the pages of whichever sociopathic rag would pay him. nice to the right people. had the correct prejudices

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

Narrative design.

THIS. People educated enough in the specific subject to pull the data together don’t need LLMs; people without the knowledge to weed data from the bullshit are at the mercy of the LLM. They’re obsequious Dunning-Kruger machines. Designed to flatter midwits and the technologically obsolete.

So, ok, a thing about telling yr audience "i use AI for my info gathering/research but then I look over it and fix any errors" is that you unfortunately told me youve outsourced your knowledge base on this subject to the machine, and therefore I have no reason to believe you CAN catch those errors

Damn, looking through some old files and i found one of my first major tools i made in Unity from 13 years ago - It was the creator for all the mini story events for Ironcast! Remember this @pyroka.bsky.social? lol

the reason vibe coding stuff isn't shipping out of fable yet is because the least 20% takes just as long (or longer because you fucked up the first 80% so bad because you're probably an idiot) because it's not about coding (and never was)

lol, vibe coding, same as coding

This post really nails a thought I've had for a while - One of the core bits about any creative thing is the social aspect. Sharing it with others, discussing it, making fan creations etc. But no-one is gonna give a shit about your prompt

Giada Zavarise@cheerfulgoth.bsky.social · 2w ago

This is a disingenuous take by someone who fundamentally misunderstands how fandom work. A unique AI generated creature cannot be shared nor reproduced. Any love the player feels for them cannot be spread. Fan work cannot be appreciated by others, because they won't care.

eh fuck using it for AI, but a proper CLI for Unity is pretty dope - this would have made previous Automated Playthrough, testing and builds way easier by the looks of it! unity.com/blog/meet-th...

I am not asking or advocating for people to pirate it. That does nothing except hurt the workers. I care about these people and I do not want to see them also lose their jobs and the opportunity to make great art.

I’m only going to say this once: Many of my close friends and colleagues are STILL at ZA/UM. They are people who deserve your support too, now of ALL times. Zero Parades is a great game, and I am incredibly proud of it. Frankly, if you care about me, the number one thing you can do is PLAY IT.

83,000 people attended Belfast Pride last year. Last night, I was at the launch of this year's Pride. Everybody who spoke, spoke of the desperate need to protect trans people. Meanwhile, the LGB Alliance disco each year gets about 100 people if they're lucky.
