its really genuinely sweet that even after like 5+ years of not reliably posting art or my own game work, i still have people mention me (positively??) as a 3d artist and game dev i'm not really a public guy anymore but every time i meet someone who saw the goose gif it makes my heart soar

Hot take: get 1-2 people who are really good at their jobs and have them make a few good or great options instead of 75 at best mediocre options which you then have to apologize for using, and replacing with human made art after people say they won’t buy your game because you used AI.

Also funny is "we're using it less and less because we don't need [AI]" in the same interview where you say you ask it for 75 variations because you don't have enough illustrators. You're using it less and less because you already used it to do the work, man!

Politics-free games don’t exist. We’ve always been open about where we stand, and Young Suns is no different. You can help a queer- and trans-run studio make this industry a better place for everyone by wishlisting Young Suns on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/4149610/...

Big Walk coming out during a huge deadline month is fucked up

An underreported part of UK Transphobe Lawfare™ is that when they lose, they just... say they won. For all the regrettable sway they do have in courts/govt etc, their real power is in the press. So if they lose, they just pretend they didn't and their press friends print the lie. It's ubiquitous.

Women's Rights Network/Sex Matters took Feile to court to have their event reinstated. It was not reinstated. The two statements released after an agreement was reached give two very different impressions of what happened today in Belfast's High Court.

"emily wilson's review of the odyssey was too harsh" i fear we've strayed too far from the halcyon days of zero punctuation

i think using the word "agentic" should result in instant death

as someone who is pretty politically tapped in it is absolutely BONKERS how little noise the news of a NEW LEADER OF OUR COUNTRY has made and for good reason! we have a new prime minister more often than greggs changes their menu

thinking about cave story today

this game is fucking MADDENING TO WATCH elliot anderson getting booked before any argentinians i'm kicking off bro

friendslop as a genre name is pretty cynical but i think there is something to be said about the complete willingness to mimic aesthetics of a popular game 1-to-1 happens a lot with indie games nowadays where it didn't used to in the Golden Age

my most boomer take is that i think pokemon card cracking is gambling and youtubers who crack pokemon cards are promoting gambling to their audience

can't make develop anymore friends i'm sorry :( i'm very busy and slightly broke lmao

why are there so many games made by usually white european developers that lean so heavily on surface-level japanese aesthetics

The game industry is so fucking back

welp been a long hard month of getting all of the CD-ROMs burned for my new game, time to log onto my favourite megacorporation's twitter account and see what they're upto

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

SINNER BABY WHAT ARE WE DOING !!!!!!!!!!

every year there's a new horror movie that is supposedly a genre-defying classic and every year it's just a horror movie

my psoriasis on my hands is so bad that my phone no longer recognizes my thumb print anyone want me to do some crimes for them

Young Suns is coming to Steam later this year, and you can help support a queer + trans indie studio by wishlisting and sharing with friends! 🪐✨ store.steampowered.com/app/4149610/...

I do think ai psychosis is kind of funny in terms of revealing how many men are apparently already quietly going around thinking they're on the verge of inventing a new kind of math or physics

people falling over themselves to throw money at spaceX's public offering while the face of the company incites race riots in countries he doesn't live in yeah. that's

Hardly a new point, I know, but these race riots are another example that, while Starmer is up in a froth about banning children from social media, the biggest danger is adults having their brains cooked by rage-baiting misinformation on Facebook and Twitter and being radicalised into violence.

no other way to say it, this thing in the uk where every single time a non-white person is in the news being accused of a crime we have full on race riots is very very bad

i need yall to start using the fulll name God of War: Laufey when posting takes about it, i constantly think i'm reading out-of-pocket takes about the icelandic singer
