Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.
I'm going to take a lesser cynicism here and assume the majority of them are bullshitting. 'We're fully AI-integated!' is catnip for the idiot investor crowd. You want your project funded, you say the magic/stupid words. And if they ask HOW you're integated, you can just say 🤷'Conceptualization!'🤷
Mike Bithell@mikebithell.bsky.social · 2w agoIt’ll be interesting to learn, on the other side of the AI crash, which AAA studios had actually built dependencies on generative AI into their processes, and which were bullshitting.
WHY are doctors ignoring the InfoWars contagion? WHERE is Fauci?
i have too many notes to sort thru it feels like eternity lol maybe i will do something once i go thru them all
to avoid talking about anyone specific, i am really fucking tired of people of any kind playing defense for lolicon, but especially those who are trying to frame it as a civil rights/free speech issue and/or forcibly attach it to queer identity [that shit's gross btw]
first time i heard kavinsky was in 2007 when he opened for daft punk. it was a duo DJ set with sebastiAn. i remember hearing Grand Canyon on that kinda setup and feeling like i'd heard something for the future. had that EP on repeat for weeks after what a loss. guy who helped define a sound forever

i feel like setting up chinese and japanese keyboard layouts on linux alongside latin/cyrillic involves needless amount of pain. why can't it be plug-and-play like it is on windows and mac at all times?
good read that goes into the nature of recomps in order to give you some in-the-field examples of why vibe coding is generally not a great idea

Folks struggling to make it as indies should probably read this: klangmag.co/lifers-dayjo... Also he only mentions rich kids and day jobbers, but there's also "has a spouse with a good job", "their parent died and left them just enough to get ahead" and "managed to pay off house so don't have rent"

Saw a couple of posts from US artists saying BSky is now asking them for age verification. Please follow the link in this repost. I’m the UK we’ve had this crap going on for over a year. The methods listed here work great, it’s what I use it (no way I’m providing personal info!)

For some people, video games are about the wonder of exploring strange, thrilling, action-packed worlds but for me the joy of video games has always been all about moving to a franchise-centric planning strategy to better focus resources on long-term growth and stability amid broader restructuring.

both of those articles are about how discs are fragile and unsafe, poor for digital preservation, and they argue for either 1) a return of cartridges (polygon) or 2) true ownership of data without DRM & platform locks (gizmodo) but you'd have to read more than the headline to find that out i guess

stuff like this makes me wish bsky had community notes, bc this is highly deceptive and makes people around here bat for a serial cybercriminal group that clearly did bad shit and held ppl's data for ransom. you can just look it up on wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapsus$

Winter@kernowshark.bsky.social · last mo.Locking up an autistic kid in a mental hospital for life for leaking a clip of a game is bullshit. Guess I'm never playing a Rockstar game again.
i'm seeing this weird "disc rot isn't actually a thing other than individual problem lots, it's scaremongering" re: physical media simply not true. disc rot is happening and if you have cds over 30 yrs old it's probably happening to you. don't politicize an oxidization phenomenon that's stupid
As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.
Chloe "in ✈️ at home" Adams@addamschloe.bsky.social · 2mo agopiracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time
