I swear to god, Godot devs will implement absolutely anything except for proper C# integration

"Does this engine's built-in scripting language allow me to write code using the finest and most adaptive logo-syllabic writing system ever devised in ancient Mesopotamia? If you're considering Godot for your next project, the answer is a resounding 𒀭𒈾."

This is a good summary. The legal reasons are enough all on their own, tbh--not actually owning a copyright in your own game art is a bad situation to be in.

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

She's not wrong. It's kind of mind-blowing to me that companies like Sony have voluntarily chosen to make this the case.

piracy 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

Reflection

I don't want to pretend this *isn't* shocking or ghastly but, like, when digital media experts are expressing concern generally about the data a game like Pokemon Go is collecting from day one, this is precisely the kind of end game they are thinking about.

Schera Wyss 💀 SLUG WORLD 2026@scherawyss.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

jack chick dark dungeons tract but there's zero religious or moral payload and it's propagandizing against d&d strictly for design reasons

Remember about 400 hours ago when Geoff opened the event saying how small, indie games are such a big part of gaming? And 540 hours in, we've had, er, that Untitled Goose Game copy?

there's a moment early in the film of Ready Player One, where the voiceover says, "the only limit was your imagination", as the screen fills with pre-existing characters & IPs. It would one of the most on the nose satires of modern culture if not for the fact that it's meant entirely without irony

Chris Farnell@thebrainofchris.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I still think of Ready Player One as a devastating takedown of the way our culture worships brands and corporate IPs that are recycled from Boomers and Gen X with no room for new ideas, fatally undermined by the fact that the author thinks it would be cool.

Horrid. I don't use Linktree myself, but just an FYI for those who do...

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Lol, wowww. The disrespect! I wonder if this guy's strategy is to goad developers into responding with a well-earned "fuck off," only to claim that they accepted the terms of the offer by replying to the email?

Playing Caves of Qud on my switch last night, I got the urge to name my gun after a harrowing encounter, and was given the option to name it based the culture of the baboons I killed it with. Not sure what I was expecting.

Absolutely brutal thing to do to a coworker

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
