I unsubbed from his channel when he did a wholly uncritical item on genLLM systems. Seems like my gut was correct there.

"I really don’t understand why somebody would want to make me say things that I don’t want to say as they please and then sell it as my own voice. It’s heartbreaking. Why can’t Japan, which calls itself a content superpower, establish rules for content use or tell the world,..."
The voice of Shinji in Evangelion says AI voice cloning is 'heartbreaking,' calls for Japanese government to intervene
It would be nice if somebody did something, for once.

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

Grab dozens of games in a truly indie bundle, support the Game Worker Hardship Fund, and try to come up with ideas for self-organized studios. 🎁 The bundle: itch.io/b/3802/game-... 🛠️ The fund: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun...
Yeah. Been a while since I got to announce a game. If you're a publisher who wants to make a bunch of money on a revolutionary horror game, you should reach out.

Hello! For a potential piece on Eurogamer, I would love to know what cool little things people in and around games are working on. Not full games, but fun, interesting, weird projects or side projects. Things you're noodling around with, things you just think are neat. Replies/reposts very welcome!

Hello everyone, in exactly a week the big day is happening, after almost 5 years of development, my little project is going to be released. To celebrate a new version of the Coffee Shop is up for you to try with the Demo in case you need an excuse to jump back to it.♥️☕
Caaaan do! This is the Cantal cheese, a cheese from the Cantal region of France. Its very mild and soft cheese that lends itself greatly to bringing along on long hikes across volcanic landscapes.
Tom & Lorenzo@tomandlorenzo.bsky.social · last wk.People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese
What if I told you that all of the Publishing Agreements I have reviewed in the last 6 months (several dozen) included a no gen AI provision, wherein the use of gen AI in development is a material breach, but companies like Epic and EA are still trying to convince us the industry is cool with it
Austin Wood@woodwould.bsky.social · 3w agoHe's only gone and written 2,500 more words about how game devs feel about generative AI. Latest piece quotes around two dozen different people with an indie background. When asked how they feel about gen AI, not one, but two devs responded, "Fuck that shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/it-cre...

holy shit a successful build on first try, I should go buy a lottery ticket or something
Iteration is key; don't be afraid to make revisions and updates, and be willing to throw away what you've done so far based on feedback. The sunk cost fallacy is real.

Let's say I produced a really slick video in which I teach some bit of game design: - If you're an experienced game designer, what should it teach less experienced designers? - If you're an inexperienced game designer, what would you like to learn?
So who do I ask for the money to convert thirteen years of teaching gamedev and art into a massive free online course complete with tracks, templates, examples, excersises and community?
me: there's only a couple things left to do before the one-shot I'm running tomorrow, it's a significant amount of work, but not unmanageable. me: BUT WHAT IF NEW IDEA?

- that devs make money based on amount of sales - that devs decide which game to make / decide about content - that devs aren't gamers / don't like games - that publishers are devs - that game dev is just fun so we don't need good wages and rights and stuff
Cara Ellison@caraellison.bsky.social · 4w agogame devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?
