The man ICE shot in Austin today is named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Per his lawyer, she and Perez’s family were run off of hospital property where he’s being treated and won’t even confirm he’s there because he’s “in ICE custody.” Actual criminals.

Reminds me of a real conversation at a con advertising Bitter Silver: "Oh, is this like that show, Cowboy Bebop?" "Yup!" "Someone should make a game about that." "Um, yeah." "Cool! Have a good one."

Tim Sweeney is currently worth $5.1 BILLION DOLLARS. Imagine using a fraction of that to pay for the salaries of all 1,000 of these employees to do anything else in Epic Games than be laid off. Meanwhile, indie game devs struggle for ANY kind of funding. This is terminal capitalism.

BREAKING: Epic Games is laying off more than 1,000 workers today, sources tell Bloomberg News. Story hitting shortly

"AI, in one form or another, will be in every single video game." We can tell you right now that Bitter Silver will NEVER have gen AI slop in it. Fellow indie game devs, feel free to quote post and share your game that won't have any gen AI bullshit.

"AI, in one form or another, will be in every single video game."

We have proudly been fuck gen AI/crypto/NFTs since 2022 and will continue to be until the end of time! Games are art made by ARTISTS. This DLSS 5 gen AI slop filter is an attempt by tech companies to tell artists "this is what players want, actually." We say (resoundingly): FUCK THAT NOISE.

Our hearts go out to everyone at Bluepoint Games affected by this shocking closure. Are we going to have an industry in ten years that isn't just gen AI slop, AAA games rushed out too early & indies made by developers working insanely unreasonable hours in order to survive?

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 8mo ago

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned. A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

Our cute robot cat named Hobbes from our game, Bitter Silver, for you all in these troubling times. Happy #Caturday!

Gen-AI continues to be an honest-to-God affront to art and artists. Everything said about them being plagarism machines since 2021 is correct and will always be correct. Fuck this.

Bitter Silver is an upcoming Cowboy Bebop-inspired visual novel where you track down bounties with your misfit crew to find answers about a curse plaguing your life! 🚀 Unabashedly queer, multiple endings AND a cute cat! 😸 Wishlist today! #WishlistWednesday store.steampowered.com/app/1906930/...

It's really easy, if you're a game dev, to actually NOT invite terrible people to preview and help you market your game. Especially when you're putting out a new game no one has heard of and you're building an identity as a studio and trying to connect with your audience.

Welp I picked a good time to get out of games media because I was invited to this lmao

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales
