'Games development' and 'games business' are two seperate things. The sickness lies in the business side. And it is catastrophically sick. In all meanings of the word.

Decided to go on a walk on a Saturday night and there’s a big band playing big band music out in Davis Square and it’s wonderful and bringing me back to a certain time in my life where I insufferably listened to this stuff all the time.

lmao if you drive while wielding a one-handed weapon, Mike holds it in his free hand. If you drive while wielding a two-handed weapon, he drives with his foot. Good stuff, good stuff. This is what immersive sims should be.

Sir, that is a shoggoth.

I thought I'd walk around the scrapyard so you can see what I've been up to, and to hear the new BGM music for this area. :) #gamedev #rpg #psx

This is a Universal Constant™️ in every form of media. I often think of the X-Files and how people often say the series drops off after Season 4/5/6/7/8/9…. but the truth is every season has roughly the same number of good, bad, and phenomenal episodes (yes, even 8 and 9).

Movies Silently@moviessilently.bsky.social · 5d ago

One constant in the movies from the start is that there has always been about the same proportion of masterpiece, really good, good, okay, so-so, meh, feh, and unwatchable movies. Most fall into the middle of that spectrum with the outliers getting particular attention.

Small victories here and there.

NEW: after our coverage of this company's little scheme to use printed books to train AI, it calls it a "test of the market" and walked the entire thing back: www.404media.co/ai-company-t...

A reminder that the absolute best thing you can do if you want to see more projects like this is to get involved and JOIN UVW. Money is great but volunteer time is infinitely more valuable and in short supply, plus you’ll meet amazing people and learn new things!

Look, friends. I know that you don't think it's much. But the NYT Puzzles app is very much propping up the NYT's ideologically driven hate campaign against trans people. You gotta let your streak go. There are so many other puzzles out there you could be playing that won't fund hate.

I hate the way we call anything "content" now, I try to avoid it even

You don't have to sculpt or model in every technical detail before baking. You can use programs like Substance to generate elements. This allows you to adjust them in game and tailor various looks or match strobing for different screen resolutions and platforms.

Hi everyone, today me and 22 others at Double Fine were hit by layoffs today. All the people who lost their jobs today care so much about the games they make and the people they work with. If anyone is looking for a tools SE with 7 years of experience and who brings baked goods on Mondays lmk.

I'm still working on it, yea. Solved some big tech issues. Just wanna add a "customization" feature to the scientists before I start moving on further.

I was trying to decide what the 10 most influential (not necessarily best) FPS are up to now and this is what I came up with: Wolfenstein 3d Doom Quake Half-life/Medal of Honor (can't decide) Halo Call of Duty 4 Far Cry 3 Overwatch PUBG Doom Eternal

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

It'd be a shame if folks started contacting ISBNdb en masse to voice their concerns about the massive scale book burning they're participating in. isbndb.com/contact

companies are sourcing millions of printed books for AI labs that scan them for training data, then destroy them. printed books are more valuable because they're free of AI slop, and AI labs know destroying them is an "optics problem." www.404media.co/ai-companies...
