B…b..but I’m told all the time that using AI for coding is good, actually! How could this happen?
ButtercupBandito@buttercupbandito.bsky.social · 14h agoHeads up! Humble Bundle has released a new vibe coded version of their website which removes a HOST of critical security features. Now may be a wise time to remove any payment information you might have saved to your account. www.reddit.com/r/humblebund...
"AI is good for coding at least! That's the one legit use!" I continue to watch the endless stream of software projects capsize and sink because AI absolutely sucks shit at coding Oh but theirs is different. They're the best slop jockey and immune to its effects unlike everybody else
Incredible insight from Zenick here: “We’re about a week away from the biggest entertainment launch of all time with Grand Theft Auto VI, and I think the key to that massive success is that every step of the process Rockstar would ask themselves, would my grandma like this?”

I think the 2026 Remake does a good enough job accomplishing the feeling I wrote about with The Water Temple earlier this year. It leans a bit towards the 3DS Remake's sensibilities for my liking but the fundamental design is still top notch. sadboybarrett.substack.com/p/the-water-...

Rebekah Valentine@duckvalentine.bsky.social · 2d agowow the OoT remake swapped out that one small key in water temple that no one could find with a red rupee and put the key somewhere else. cowards!!
Until we can get some sort of organized boycott going that actually puts pressure on companies, they’re gonna keep using AI because the personal morality scale obviously ain’t doing shit.
Suggested this was an Ellison move yesterday and was told that it was a stretch. We gotta pay attention more to who owns all the media we love.

It suuuuucks that the Firaxis XCom team can reform, deliver one of the best successors imaginable paired with a massive media license, and still end up in this situation. This is not a healthy industry. And the reason for that is unquestionably people siphoning off all the money from the top.

Funny that the game I was thinking about the most during this playthrough wasn’t any other Zelda game but instead Mario Odyssey. Something in the presentation (cutscenes, art style, animation) feels like Nintendo looked away from the rest of the series to find how to best bring Ocarina to 2026.
Barrett Courtney@barrettcourtney.bsky.social · 4d agoOcarina of Time finished.
He does the same thing to the Poe Guy, incredible stuff. Further evidence that Link was a pure shitass before this adventure began and maybe Mido was right to be tough on him.

Having played more of the remake, it’s come to my attention how perfect this child was for this meme iykyk

Worth noting that just yesterday, the former VP of Xbox Games Studios, Shannon Loftis, referred to current leadership at Xbox as "the oppressor", and implied that the leaked info around COO Helen Chiang's dismissal wasn't a leak but "a lie."
Reviewing a game like this in a "product recommendation" sense seems utterly pointless www.gamespot.com/articles/gta...
GTA 6 Has Sold Almost 8 Million Copies So Far, And PS5 Is Dominating The Split (Of Course)
The PS5 edition of GTA 6 is massively outselling the Xbox version.

While billionaires had a terrible night across the country, they had a great night in San Francisco. Their electoral success here promises even more cruelty, corruption, displacement & inequality. While they celebrate their dystopian vision for this city, we organize for a kinder, more affordable SF
We are all in San Francisco’s ‘March for Billionaires’ now
Mayor Lurie is positive, popular and backed by the wealthiest of the wealthy. Once again, voters have given him everything he asked for.

Is there a first time player of Ocarina that reviewed the remake? Genuinely curious if anyone let newer blood interpret this game in 2026 like Aonuma did with his team.
Truly embarrassing state. Coastal elites with their heads fully up their ass.
Brandon Sheffield@brandon.insertcredit.com · last wk.Meanwhile California seems poised to finally take our long deserved title of "biggest rubes in the union", as the billionaire tax seems poised to fail, but one of the propositions that ensures you can never tax billionaires again seems poised to succeed. We're just a bunch of maleable idiots.
California holding strong in working for billionaires got me so fucking depressed on an overall great night
Thinking about this today I’m mostly a dumbass but I think I make a good point or two once in a blue moon
Not even gonna give it any respect with a repost but the alligator thing? Really? This is the company y’all run cover for?
idk man, it’s the most pivotal midterm election of my lifetime idgaf what the subtitle is for a fuckass imaginary game right now
