This article does an excellent job of summarizing the feelings I've had about all the recent PlayStation and Xbox announcements. www.gamespot.com/articles/the...

There Is No Reason To Buy Another PlayStation Or Xbox

Increasingly poor decisions are making it impossible to want or get a next-gen console.

Looks like the Sony PR team has begun its consent manufacturing operation among the media in the past 24 hours. I wonder how many other gaming outlets and influencers this week will also happen to put up posts/articles/videos declaring that eliminating physical media from consoles is good, actually?

Microsoft engineered this so that it looked the least bad optically while at the same time still committing a slaughter, all so that Satya Nadella can still dick around with more useless AI horseshit. Fuck him and fuck Microsoft.

"AI cannot take responsibility, and we can't trust heavy users of AI to understand their code enough to fix it." @godotengine.org gets it. 👍

Open source game engine Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions: 'We can't trust heavy users of AI to understand their code enough to fix it'

At risk of drowning in AI slop code, Godot is firming up its contribution requirements.

The Wachowski sisters didn't use 120 cameras to film one shot just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Peter Jackson didn't meticulously design every set piece and costume in the Lord of the Rings trilogy just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable".

Always happy to help pals out with their projects anyway I can. Ben asked if they could use this badge I made ages ago and I was happy to oblige. I even made some alternates and said use whichever they preferred. Check out the game and support/follow if you can 🤙💙

Valve has released a tiny, silent, entry level PC that does important work bringing PCs gaming to the living room and desktop Linux to the masses. The timing could not be worse.
