It would help if there was literally any evidence their claims were anything but marketing. “We have a super duper cyberdyne world ending AI just behind that curtain, but don’t peek! We want to keep it quarantined!” is not a compelling pitch. These are chat bots with bad accuracy records.

Saw this posted in the r/virtualreality subreddit today. Makes my blood boil.

Yesterday, I learned that there are 2 competing FPS games developed in china and based on the Sino-Japanese War. Only one has shown actual gameplay and not a pre-rendered video to look like gameplay.

Nice

Ok let’s relax

should you use AI? Here's a simple flow chart Should I use AI? ----> No

As someone who loves VR, I'm annoyed by the positive and uncritical reactions to the videcoded Halo 3 VR mod. I know that VR game releases have slowed somewhat but we can't be that desperate.

"But guys I only used a LITTLE AI" Ok, so don't use it! "But guys I changed all the AI stuff to be human made!" Then you didn't need AI. "But guys, my team is too small!" Learn a new skill or make a different idea. There is no acceptable excuse. I'm done giving a shit.

"In a burning world we need to hold ourselves and each other to a higher standard. “Useful” is far, far from being good enough." https://tante.cc/2026/07/15/useful-is-not-sufficient/

"Useful" is not sufficient

So Linus Torvalds, head of the Linux kernel development, put his foot down on the Linux Kernel development mailing list when someone was bringing up criticism of LLMs: “Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issueswith that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it. Or just walk away. […]

Hey, so, I was so angry today that, for once, I blogged it instead of posting about it. Games media, especially mainstream games media, cannot keep abdicating responsibility in how it talks about these things an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/video-game-s...

Video Game Studios Aren't Monoliths

I'm just going to come right out and say it this time - treating video game studios like some kind of fantasy football draft, in the wake of mass layoffs no less, is sickening. The last three years, ...

Everything about this piece is terrible.

Felt cute today, might delete later. 💅 #OmArt #art

I hope so too. Otherwise, it will take a Star Wars Battlefront II level disaster.

Yup. Tomb Raider and Crazy Taxi's previews being massively overshadowed by this stuff is hopefully a sign to devs and publishers to steer well clear

More developers should do this.

Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

Just played this new retro arena shooter called Unchained with one the developers. Really chill. It's free to play and it released today. Dev told me that bots and split screen are being worked on. Check it out with your friends. store.steampowered.com/app/921490/U...

Putting aside that the generated output will be absolute dogshit, the idea of collectively built fiction that is wholly owned by megacorporations is inescapably dystopian.

Elon Musk retweeted a post saying that women were "built to be traded" like property.

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvation—the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada'

Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.

Apocalypse Approaches - ideo ame@ideoame.com · last yr.

GDC was a blast! We met amazing devs, got great feedback on Apocalypse Approaches (Wishlist & Alpha in pinned post!), and had awesome chats about its future. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by! We're getting back to work now—stay tuned for exciting updates! #GDC #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Which is why the advice I give is 'Do not have a Steam forum'. A lot of devs do not know it's possible to just lock your forums entirely and have a single stickied post saying 'Come join our properly moderated and vetted Discord or fuck off, your choice'.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! I may not be a doctor, but I'm going to go going to give some now controversial medical advice: Polio is no good! We should not get rid of the polio vaccine! Repost if you agree: polio is bad!
