I never wanted to be a "in my day things were better" old lady... but I need to categorically state that technology actually WAS better. You are currently in the peak of designed obsolence, enshittification, personal intrusion and forced acceptance by lack of choice. Sure, the underlying tech...

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

Man crawling under boots near fence

Alt: A clip from the movie Top Secret. A very young Val Kilmer crawling through a fence and being startled by a pair of boots - which are revealed to be empty when the camera slowly pans up.

Christmas 2026. Instead of going to Mars, Musk releases what he declares "even better" - an historically accurate AI movie of The Odyssey. Turns out to be Matt Damon deepfaked into cuts of Clash of the Titans and Python's Holy Grail.

every game should have an ending where it turns out a dog was behind everythung

I think the thing I resent most about gen AI- and this is a selfish thing to say but it’s true- is that it’s put an asterix on my sense of wonder. What I mean is that now when I see an amazing or beautiful image I can’t have that initial “wow!” reaction. I doubt. I have to verify. I hate it.

I say no to all gen-ai in games, including if it's "just code" Coding IS an artform, it may not be as directly visible as artwork but it's no less deserving of respect for being responsible for the functionality of every game out there without solid coding all your fave games would be dogshit

A bit of a shame, freegameassets.com used to be a directory linking to good asset resources but they now provide AI slop assets. The directory is down the page. I'm so glad I bought gameassets.com lol, that's safe from slop.

Actually flawless.

Fuck Sam Niell’s death is sad… up there with Robin Williams for me.

Sam Neill insisting on changing the Australian flag in Event Horizon, and the reasoning behind it, speaks to his character so well. For those who don't know, the reason the flag on Weir's costume has the Aboriginal flag, not the Union flag, is because Sam said he hoped by 2047 we'd have changed it.

Don’t know who to credit for this. But it is how I feel.

Gamedev: Finally programmed the character to rotate in run direction. Let's check if it works:

We always get a lot of "I'm looking for a team!" messages from people joining Kenney Jam. But in this jam all you need to do is come up with an idea, and program it. The visuals are already done for you, so it's perfect for joining solo! itch.io/jam/kenney-j...

I dont know about anyone else but when I find out a game was made by people who have since been punished for successfully producing a game, I am never going to buy that game? You fired the people who made it so who is my money going towards the future of?

I am exasperated with people accusing programmers of "gatekeeping" programming. We were practically dragging people through the gate. Do you know why a mindless LLM can tell you so much great programming information? It's because we've been sharing that information for free online for decades.

Early morning press conference at the Whitehouse.

The Godot open-source gaming engine has banned contributors from submitting AI-generated code contributions. The project says it "can't trust heavy users of AI to understand their code enough to fix it" when it breaks. godotengine.org/article/cont...

There’s never been anyone whose involvement more completely and immediately poisons vibes and destroys joy. No good thing survives contact.

What a game. Go Belgium! Suck a bag of trump farts, other team.

It's nice to just to browse through your physical games and find something to play. Ya hear that, PlayStation?

Steam used real human artists for the Summer Sale art, then credited them by name W Steam. #gaming #indiegames #gamedev

Got a new Dell Laptop at work & it comes with a COPILOT KEY next to the right Alt button. I thought OK, I can surely disable this key or remap it to Ctrl. Oh my friends, no. I was foolish. Searching for help came across this, Dell agents aren't even allowed to discuss remapping the copilot key.

Kano is hands down my favourite character in the first (of the newer) MK movies, until he (spoiler, but not really?) betrays the team and turns out to be a shitcunt.

It absolutely fucks me off that, not only is M$ Teams being a real shitburger right now, but that one suggestion that's a likely solution is "close everything, go to your blahblah/AppData folder and delete everything, then restart". Maybe it's just me, maybe it's just Monday.

Tuning in for Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address. It's not worth a blow-by-blow, but she is banging the "radical Islam" drum from last decade and has suggested this "social cancer" needs to be cut out. Nothing new. We'll see if she gets to her other favourite subject: climate change.
