yeah the steam machine is expensive, but the good news is everyone is making so much more money thanks to our AI-enhanced productivity

Doctors 25% more likely to miss a diagnosis on a patient within 3 months after Ai is implemented. The results indicate Ai has an immediate negative effect on professionals skillsets vs prolonged reliance. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Is AI ruining our skills? Early results are in — and they’re not good
Reliance on artificial-intelligence tools degrades the abilities of physicians and software engineers, studies show.

The Godot LLM stuff feels like it's going to put a lot of users in very awkward situations with their principles and stated beliefs, myself included. Maybe I'm in a bubble but gamedev feels pretty tight knit and the overwhelming majority of competent creators seem to be against LLM usage.
*dusting off account* Happy pride! I am finishing up on some lovely contract work next month and can go back to focusing on Shrouded Suns. Slo-phase in production went mostly into writing and it made the story more weird, so for the story trailer, I will be aiming for a reaction akin to "wåt?".
Nos vemos en @guadalindie.bsky.social ! 🌊💧💙✨ Este año no doy charlita, pero si queréis detalles de lo que nos traemos entre manos en la cooperativa ( @achtungautobahn.com ) , dadme un toque 👀💖 Estaremos los dos días por allí 💗
Having experienced this live at GodotFest, I fully endorse this drug-induced seizure!
Crayon@crayondev.ie · 5mo agoFUNI RACCOON GAME OUT NOW
Time for a short entry on my adventures in gamedev 🎮✨🏝️💜⚔️ Unfortunately, these games are no longer available. Such is the fate for the majority of digital media... Tight technical constraints create optimization-conscious artists, and I think that's beautiful 💖🎨🌴🏡💗 ℹ️ gatdesoia.es/flying-sheep...
please don't rob yourself from the time to create things. and become little vaults of art at home. keep the dvds, buy books, save those pdfs, download the flacs, get drm-free versions of everything. reject the tool that saves you from thinking. any industry or market can fall, humanity should not.
LT Gaming out there doing the good work and giving me a jumpscare by having my own game pop-up in my YouTube sub-feed AND binding it SEO-wise forever more to FreeSpace(my beloved) Some outdated footage hurts my heart, but well <3 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #godot www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrdN...

No need for shitty AI to make me unable to understand my codebase one year down the line! I can do that all by myself, with my baseless self-confidence, about being able to understand that 400-line-long class I wrote in the middle of the night, with the only comment being "TODO: lmao, FIX". #gamedev
Just add that feature you've been thinking about. It's not scope creep, you wanted to add it from the beginning anyway. Don't worry about the roadmap, everyone does this all the time. It won't hurt.
I added implemented FLAK turrets and replaced 12 of the Carrier's CIWS with them. Did that improve the balancing? Nah. But hear me out: I rewatched all of Battlestar Galactica (2004) over Christmas. That's it. store.steampowered.com/app/4060820/... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #godot #spacegame
It helps my motivation so much to have the pipelines in place to get even half-done versions of ships into the game and see them going to town on other ships. Or, in the case of the carrier, just annihilate 1km³ of space with 28 CIWS. TODO: balancing. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #godot #spacegame
"We lost 3 engines, but we still have 17 more." End of last year was crazy. Now working on the base carrier and it turned out to be 802 m long. I only have two hands and I have never been happier to not have gone photo-realistic, because this would kill me XD #indiedev #gamedev #blender #spacegame
"I'll also explain that part later. It makes sense in context, I swear. Stay awake, please." #indiedev #spacegame
The kids turned out okay after all.
allison steele, organic human person@trulyaliem.bsky.social · 8mo agoeveryone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most. sounds like we'll be ok. just have to stay the course here and the "inevitable" new technology nobody likes will die. again. quanticfoundry.com/2025/12/18/g...
*Old man voice*: You kids nowadays with your intuitive UX and your undo functions don't know what good software looks like!
Dvorakir@dvorakir.bsky.social · last yr.new longpost just dropped (yeah its about #blender1.80)
these kinds of videos always prompt a certain Pratchett quote in my brain, from Thief of Time
Oi! Pinterest! Why the actual fuck is this the default setting? Rhetorical question. FU
If you want to mess with your Steam Replay, just do the basic implementation of the Steam SDK during development and then kinda forget about it watching while you work for the next 4 months... XD #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #godot #spacegame
I’m steadily forming a unifying theory that ultimately, this is what LLMs are accelerating: everyone has access to sycophantic virtual yes men at minimal (for now) cost and that’s having exactly the same effect on the 99% as it always has had on the 1%
jaspermaxxing@hoovybaby.bsky.social · 8mo agoStumbling over your own game after clicking on a YouTube video about upcoming space games is extra wild, when lying in bed with a fever and thinking you are hallucinating.
