The 8-Bit Guy starting off his latest video... and its about some actual bullshit Ai movie he's "writing" man... all the greats are falling over at this Ai slop
"your game is just glorified goblin dress-up" *clears throat* okay yeah it is
My UI sucks, but like in the made by a clueless idiot kinda way and not by Claude ai So therefore it's actually good
I wont sugar coat this; I have one and i've used it 3 times. • It only works in apps through Steam/wrapped in steam • It has firmware updates every week • Its 99 dollars Save yourself the money and buy almost any other 3rd party controller trust me on that one.

Some of my favorite recent GearGrit Kickstarter graffiti additions from @diogocarepo.bsky.social And yes... that is a LOST tv show reference... haha Dont ask me! the backers get what they want xD
In sector 3, the desert will have some remnants of the ancient civilization... In which some secrets can be found :o
Tangent: Friction in games has been dying. Difficulty alongside it, and overcoming difficulty is one of the greatest feelings in video games. I played through Sly 1 recently, and the Time Trials are insanely difficult. I attempted the first time trial for literally 30 minutes until I got it. 1/2
Jiikae@jiikae.com · 2w agoI find it funny when people talk about how games are this art form that can make you feel emotions, but then you bring up something like wanting more games to have timers & people will say its bad design "because it makes me anxious" So emotions only allowed through story, not gameplay. Got it lol.
The rush to recomp old games (Using Ai) reminds me of the people who purchase those emu handhelds and never getting past the title screen. It's just gimme-now mentality, no thought/love involved. It's not even about ethics anymore. No one is stopping to ask "Do we need this" and the answer is No.
seeing if people read my patch notes on the playtest, dont tell em...
My 9 ended up mostly ultra basic gamer tier of my era for sure I dont have a quirky game to include on this

I found out what this was btw Apparently if you turn tick off on a CharacterMovementComponent in unreal It stores the delta time until next time it ticks again Which is something I started doing on NPCs when i enter the shop, so they're all trying to move to 0,0,0 to make up for lost time

The only thing that stops big business is not self regulation. Never has. Too bad the chances of our governments regulating this shit is essentially 0.0%
Tyler King@tyleraking.com · 3w ago“A senior executive at Microsoft said A.I. systems built on the work of others will be seen as ‘an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions’ and possibly the greatest robbery of labor in human history, according to court documents unredacted Thursday in an ongoing Manhattan lawsuit.”
