This is why I've stopped using any form of voice commands on my phone already. Gemini is absolutely garbage like everything else ai. I love having less useful features on the device I paid almost $1k for. Good job Google.

Google Assistant’s days have been numbered for a while, but the company has now settled on a date to retire its pre-AI assistant robot.

Question to games journalists, publishers, show runners, and B2B folks: Are trailers still the best way for you to get a quick look at a game to decide whether you want to learn more about it? Or are TikToks and shorts something you’d rather see in say, a pitch email? (Researching for a video)

Nobody ever explained to me what a passkey is or how they work. Websites just started asking me for passkeys like it's something we talked about.

I finished @denshattack.bsky.social tonight and can confirm it absolutely RULES! The story is great, flipping a train is obviously fun, and the soundtrack is very good. Very high on my GOTY list at the moment.

I think I'm going to finish Denshattack on stream tonight then we'll probably go back and try to get better scores on all the tracks. Come hang out and watch a train flip through the air a bunch? twitch.tv/mpicreates

EA pals, I am so sorry. Watching what that company has done to you all over the years has been heartbreaking. I am already chatting with a few devs and want to extend that offer to everyone: If you want to talk, I am here. Off record, on record, either way 🤍 www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-...

Dear young artist/crafter: Your work not being seen as a "real job" is an ongoing effect of capitalism, and misogyny. The people telling you to get a real job will never value what you do, even when they need it. Know your worth, and never give them an inch.

Yeah I'm pretty fine with Bluesky being an "echo chamber" if I wanted to fight with some doofus about our significant differences in believes I would go to Facebook.

"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care

Splatoon Raiders absolutely rules! My wife and I started playing it tonight and kept wanting to do "just one more" run.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

I would be very cautious about this "sponsorship platform" called SocialDB / socialdb.xyz . - Domain created 46 days ago. - Claims to have 14K sponsors (and 956K influencers). - Hidden registrar (lists an apartment building on-site). - ScamAdvisor Warning + Gridinsoft Warning.

YouTube search has become absolutely useless. I searched multiple things looking for some new indie games either in videos or live streams. The first three results are two videos of people buying retro games at a shop or a convention and the third is about a knock off Steam Machine.

Anyone in the DC area who likes video games, Smithsonian American Art Museum is hosting SAAM Arcade tomorrow! They have a great Indie Games showcase, musical performances, and classic consoles on display. It's always been a treat. Bonus: Quiet hours from 11:30a-1p. 🕹️🎮💖

I hate constantly saying how big a shame it is that talented gamedevs who've made extremely great games are being laid off... Developers of mediocre games shouldn't be getting fired either, they should have long careers and the opportunity to improve and reach their potential.

I have not ever seen a single story about a trans kid causing any issue in some sport they’re playing (other than other butthurt parents) yet this is somehow an exponentially bigger problem than an ocean of conservative men preying on children and women.

A Republican member of the West Virginia House has just been charged with enticing a 15-year-old minor through Roblox and Snapchat.

Denshattack! might be the coolest game I've played in years! The concept is so much fun! I'm less than an hour on and this a GOTY contender for me.

Spencer@mpicreates.bsky.social · 2w ago

I'm only streaming tonight this week and we're checking out Denshattack! This game just kind of came out of nowhere for me this past week and I haven't been able to stop thinking about how cool it looks! I'll be live until 10pm Central, come hang out! twitch.tv/mpicreates
