Here's a cool indie game that got lost in the noise this week. 👇 ROLLA is a Katamari-like, horror B-movie inspired arcade destruction game where you roll around a city as a mass of flesh. It's got the sauce. One of my fave reveals this week. 🍝 (Wishlist ROLLA on Steam)

Today’s the big day 🤘💀💜

This @pbs.org segment is an informative yet disturbing watch. I knew some of the ways data centers affect communities, but this goes in DEPTH. It showcases the impact to those living near these data centers, the cruelty and audacity of the tech companies themselves. A very important watch!

Artists are being very even-keeled about JG walking away from his Amazon project, and I find that genuinely commendable. I don’t have the strength at the moment.

Guillermo del Toro shading Jorge R. Gutierrez is exactly the type of petty I’m here for.

Milli Beau@millibeau.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Oof, Guillermo del Toro absolutely roasting Gutierrez with subtweets over on X-Twitter... I can't even imagine. I hope the money was worth it.

it's about who they can get to bend the knee, and then brag about being down there. They chose him. They knew there are precious few who could break industry hearts. No way this was not a targeted attack. Don't give up. I won't give up.

Jorge R. Gutierrez says animating with AI was like “having sex and then they hand you the baby” during his appearance at the AI on the Lot convention. He currently has a project named ‘Punky Duck’ through Amazon MGM’s GenAI Creators’ Fund.

Oh hell yeah GN dropped their video where they talked to everyone they could in the personal computing space and showed just how bad it is. youtu.be/zyQwAhppWj8?...

I don't think people in the industry are ready for the amount of PC hardware makers that are going to straight up die because of everything that's happened in the last year and a half, it isn't about cheap treats it's like half the people that make motherboards and computer cases.

Let me reiterate that: YOU ARE BETTER THAN "A.I." Whatever comics you make from your own mind and heart with your own skills will be better than any "slick" piece of garbage that generative "A.i." excretes into your lap. You are a unique human being, with unique human experiences. Build on that.

finally saw project hail mary

The Crane Rider's Tale is a fantasy mystery game with wild twists, 5 endings, and a cast of wacky characters inspired by Chinese folktales. We're 85% funded on Kickstarter right now. Less than 17 days left to help us reach our goal!!

Of course the dudes who are "building an archive" using a scraper and undisclosed AI-generated "articles" (instead of a human archivist) are just doing it for internet clout so they can build another webstore for TTRPGs (but worse).

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

Ryan Haas@ryanjhaas.bsky.social · 4mo ago

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

[Founder's briefs - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social] Tropical forests can regrow in decades, but full recovery is complex. While species diversity can bounce back fast, a regrown forest isn't the one lost. Experts say allowing natural regeneration near intact habitats is key for conservation.

How quickly do tropical forests recover? Faster than expected, but slower than it seems

A tropical forest can regrow quickly. What is harder to see is how long full ecological recovery takes. A pasture left to regenerate may, within a few decades, resemble a forest again. But…
