It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

Hollywood has suffered the most in the AI era—with the movie & TV industry losing more than 100k jobs, nearly one-third of the sector’s total employment, over the last four years. Total employment in video production is approaching the fthe lowest levels in 30 years

Been watching a streamer play this game and the music is very good. Daughter-raising portions get pleasant tunes while the combat portions get adrenaline-pumping tracks mixing electronic and rock.

That game about raising a dragon daughter is out.

Are you old enough to play Tenebris Somnia? No? 🥹

Didn't expect to be doing this again so soon, but if anyone can help, one of my rescue kittens needs a neurological assessment. Gene is currently at Subang Vet for observation, but I will need to bring him to Gasing Vet for a proper neurological assessment. 1/3

Whenever I clean my Switch 2 and take out the joy cons, I'm reminded of how astounding the tech is. We're able to play high fidelity games with complex systems on something this small.

even if she isn't here in the flesh I'm glad they still referenced Manuela

Aside from Digger and Dune 3, there doesn't seem to be any other exciting movies coming to Malaysian theatres in 2026. We didn't get Coyote vs. Acme. We're not getting Musk nor You Can See Everything.

Watched Gibney's documentary on Elizabeth Holmes. So many people were convinced by her bullshit that I'm forced to reflect on my own gullibility. Is she that impressive of a saleswoman? or are most rich people just easy marks because they don't mind losing money?

1000xRESIST and Prove You're Human are featured in this year's Game Devs of Color! GDoC has always been one of our favourite festivals and we're so honoured to be showcased next to our amazing peers 💙

All my beloved lesbian vampire OCs so far...i was put on this earth to draw beautiful evil women

I've added some recent illustrations to my print shop, and INPRNT is having a 'free shipping' event ✨

was literally just referencing this—the “who is having the most fun, the player, the designer, or the computer” question—earlier today. it’s such a core concern when making something heavily systemic or relies a lot on procgen

Aura/Moom@moomanibe.bsky.social · 2d ago

thinking about this again today, and not even in the context of procgen. The thing about systems design is that it's so easy to get excited about making little sandboxes for yourself that you forget the player needs insight into it, lest it simply appear the same as complete randomness.

Restarted my playthrough (Theodora) of Fortune's Weave after I got a better understanding of the game's shape and systems. I'm starting to see the design intentions in the game's overworld map and how players are supposed to navigate it.

another one was, i made the rain in Weird West, which wets things and fills containers and puts fires out and whatever. for a long time i had the rain coming in at the correct angle based on the wind, so in a storm you could shelter behind a building and get less wet. "cool". not legible, not useful

The upscaling tech in Fortune's Weave is really impressive. I would never have guessed that this is all being rendered from a base resolution of 720p.

There's a new Harvest Moon coming out next month. I totally missed this. (Never played a HM game before but I've always been interested in trying one)

Always love doing one of these. Let's me reflect on old and new games I've played. First row = formative Second row = taste-defining Third row = modern inspirations

a little look at how we write the script for The Mermaid Mask - I write the script directly into the Unity editor, including the voice directions. Then that gets automatically exported into a document for the actors to read. Then, once we have the audio, we import it back into the dialogue system

Need games that are playable by only using the mind. Or an evolution accelerator that will give me a third arm. Please give either one immediately. Two tigers will devour me if I stop appeasing them.

I can see why the Fortune's Weave devs are open about the game originally having eight routes. You're able to see the remnants of the other four routes almost immediately after starting the game. And you see it more and more as you play.

You know I'm really amazed with people customizing their own Mechas in video game. When you get that freedom of making your character, sometimes it gets a little bit creative. In M.A.S.S Builder by Vermillion Digital (Thailand), some players create their own humannoid mechas
