Jev looks really cool. a way to leverage techniques from generative AI that isn't actually *generating* anything, just classifying or answering questions, cheaply and efficiently. way way way fewer ethical concerns with something like this, and it's also like 300x more resource efficient than a LLM

i do wonder if/when the math guy at valve will determine that they would make more money by dropping their cut to 20% because that means more video games that actually move units would be made
cynical take - 1mil at 70USD is 70 mil. chop off 30% for platform fees, now we're 49mil. Assume the publisher is 100% recoup, that's 9 mil. Then the split after... let's be GENEROUS and say 50/50. Final income for 1mil sales is: * $4.5mil for studio * $44.5mil for pub * $21mil for platform holders
for a lot of people, actually probably every person to some extent, there are just two points on the timeline, the decision to do something, and the result there's a lot of superficial going through the motions we're expected to do in our day to day and AI reflects that to a degree
I had this thought on one of my walks this week, that I think a lot of people who are plugged into how bad AI is aren't in touch with how a lot of human activities are surface level enough that AI is actually accurately recreating or replacing it
hi the deltarune forums moved and i'm on the new one now. deltaruneboards.net/index.php?ac...
I figured everyone knew about “you want to talk about penis videos?” but I guess not
You have to admit there is a really funny irony to the fact that the one pc recompilation project taking its time and refusing to resort to AI to shit out a wide release faster is the Sonic 06 port
skylanders is such a fascinating franchise because its the kind of thing really really specific 20-40 year olds are gonna be obsessed with in like ten years. sort of like when i learned there was an Angry Birds fandom
update: i've given up pursuing this theory update update: I am the road trip adventure uncle
i think uncle theory is why uncle game directors from the 90s seem to be still stuck in the idea that aaa is at the top with design lol
working on "Uncle Theory" of gaming - that the perception of games on social meda/etc is undergoing 'unclefication' akin to 'that uncle who only likes a particular era of 90s club music and dislikes everything else and yearns for that point in time'
I feel like absolute shit i just want her back
do you think we’ll be getting newsletters with the knight and gaster and dess and friend gifs after those characters get revealed fully
the simple rule of video games: no voice acting is great, great voice acting is medium, terrible voice acting is good, medium voice acting is terrible
Fine, I'll do it myself.
'Game Recomps That Aren't Vibe-Coded' a list of games by WumpaGem | Backloggd
With the sheer abundance of game recompilations built with generative AI tools getting unwarranted attention from clickbait news outlets I felt we need some kind of curated database of recompilations ...

We need a curated database of game recompilations that aren't vibe-coded
Sometimes Bluesky's problems with loading images result in posts which are tremendously improved or at least funny in a new way
Human Revolution is set in 2027 you guys are not ready for Square's Summer Game Fest reveals
assuming this is Human Revolution that poster was made when either 13 or 14 was the most recent game. We're now 3 years out from the date the game is set in and we're at 16.
the CIA, inspired by old stories of past exploits with crack cocaine in the 80s, sets about introducing a terrifying new addiction into a new, lucrative target community (has-been apple ii programmers)
A week ago at Dragoncon I met Richard Garriott at a panel about his new Ultima game. Long story short he wants to use AI. He already has for concept art and ChatGPT generated fantasy language. I wrote an account with the hope that this could spread to the right people. Please pass this along.
With Bayonetta and Aiai sharing presence in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, we are one Xenomorph away from recreating SEGA's 2010 Christmas card.
