Hey so apparently asking "Hello, just wanted to ask if genAI is being used for this ap world at all?" Is banned in the official archipelago server because it's dismissive and degrading Insane to have 4 different mods/admins jump on me. I asked in like 7-10 specific game threads over 15+ mins

Just found out Hank Green not only used Claude for his book, but also uses ChatGPT for his videos 🙃 he's apologised for both, but like, man you of all people have no fucking excuse to still be doing this shit!!! You cannot claim you had no idea of its impact and what the companies do.

Made one quickly while I eat lunch discord.gg/Jkm6jhRpc3 Needs a proper name and an icon but a channel structure is there and permissions. But yeah, join if you wanna help start up a no-genAI archipelago group!

My review of Harbour of Hungry Ghosts by Eliza Chan 5/5⭐ A perfect blend of Chinese and British mythology and cultures! Representations: trello.com/c/VZvUYHOH PB: pagebound.co/reviews/1435... GR: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... 💙📚👀 ⚡️📚 🪐📚 #BookReview

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

This might be one of the most unhinged job requirement bullet points I've seen. How are we still doing this in 2026? "Willingness to be on-call for live issue firefighting and to crunch around critical shipping periods to support major content launches."

"omg why are you so upset 🙄 yeah it's AI but I'm just sharing it, it's already been generated, where's the harm, it's just a joke 🙄🙄" (inhales) BECAUSE SHARING GENERATIVE AI SLOP PERPETUATES THE IDEA OF ITS VALIDITY AND EMBOLDENS SLOPERATORS TO MAKE MORE OF IT. STOP. SHARING. THAT. SHIT.

I just looked at it and couldn't see anything malicious with the download (in a VM, which could also effect it). Dev made account for last GMTK, that submission has now been wiped and no activity til this GMTK. Last year they replied to like every comment, this year basically no replies at all.

I'd be very wary of the #1 enjoyment winner in the GMTK game jam for now. Download-only with no screenshots, quarantined page, and previously some obvious AI-generated comments. When people pointed out their suspicions, comments were just disabled.

Our heartfelt anime-themed driving game, Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World, is OUT NOW on PC/Xbox--and we did a singalong to prove it!! 🚶Hit pedestrians with your magic truck ⚔️Pay the soul debt you owe to the buff elf girl living in your head 🚚GO store.steampowered.com/app/3642010/...

I was willing to give Velora a try but this stopped me in my tracks once I joined the Discord server. The rest of their mission sounds great but this sounds weird as shit and I just don't feel like fucking with it, so I guess I give up.

If you give a shit about your adverts, I'm more likely to give a shit about your product. This is genuinely so cool. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbz6...

Someone asked me for the Armor Games intro I made back in 2008 and it made me curious if @ArmorGames still uses this... YES THEY DO! Anyway here it is in 4K (or whatever socials compress it to)

"Why use assets that are all of a similar visual style when you could have THIS"

This was something I was thinking about when I signed my contract, and I'm very happy - and insanely lucky - with what it is.

I suspect anyone who's worked at a major studio in a full-time capacity has encountered these clauses, which seem oddly self-defeating in how they prevent employees from bettering themselves outside the confines of the workplace—and subsequently sharing that knowledge with their peers.

So, railcards changed recently. A min fee of £12 for a ticket before 10am for the Railcard to be valid. The train to work is nearly £20 for a regular adult open return, Railcard brings it to just over £10. USING THE RAILCARD MEANS IT MAKES THE TICKET INELIGIBLE TO USE WITH A FUCKING RAILCARD NOW

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

The only wheelchair using speaker gets the stage without a ramp.

I've sat with this for a week, calming down before I felt ready to post about it, but I want to talk about Develop not having a ramp for the stage I gave my talk on. Those that know me will know just ...
