If you're sick of Youtube's enshittification, I highly recommend grabbing a "Youtube control panel" extension on Firefox/Waterfox. It's amazing to just be able to turn off all the bloat on my feeds and actually see a good amount of videos at one again. Also makes Youtube's search actually function.

I really wanna play Ace Combat 8, man... It might be the only upcoming game that I'm actively anticipating right now aside from maybe Wild Blue Skies (I'm a little more cautiously optimistic about that one though)

This is the first time I've seen someone with the actual correct interpretation of what is happening here: Sony wants to go full subscriptions service/cloud gaming. They don't want to sell you physical games because they don't want to sell you *games*. They want to sell you a subscription.

This took me several weeks to make because I went through several years worth of corporate/investor/earnings reports but... here it is! The actual, long-term reason Sony killed physical discs, and why they can't go back. youtu.be/_Znc7MVsSlg?...

Every time I've put in a prompt to even get the ball rolling on research for a video, what I get back is like GLARINGLY, UNUSABLY wrong. Weird conflations of ideas, merging of what happens in two separate games - I don't want to use it for plenty of reasons, but I also just don't see a reason to.

Economy got ya down, champ? Need 7 bosses in your game and can only afford 4? Everyone making fun of your palette swap? Yeah, that didn’t work, huh? What if I let you in on the secrets that let your bosses stretch a little further? Shhh. It's Boss Fight Recycling! NEW DESIGN DOC! END OF WEEK!

Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

Pie chart showing game engines used to create 10,511 GMTK Game Jam games in 2026. Godot has the largest slice with 47%. Then Unity with 34%. Other with 11%. Game Maker with 5%. And Unreal Engine with 3%.

Don't just share the most polished, professional works. Repost the people who are just starting, who are amateur, who maybe don't have the proportions or the anatomy or the color down. Remember they're choosing to pick up a pencil and enjoy the act of creating, many of them for the first time.

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.
