many of my favourite games were made using free asset packs, stock RPG maker assets, stuff bought off asset stores. If you abandon caring about the process and just AIgen garbage, people will know - not just because of how it looks, but because your lack of interest in your own work will be evident

sometimes I think about how alan moore said writing is magic and about how rich illiterates realised that and destroyed journalism and forced through genAI and all us silly little sorceresses are like well. we can still live on the edge of the village and cast a glamour in rags
I don't recall French Bread ever needing to fire their entire dev team after launching a game but I guess you can make fun of them, Riot.
K'eeg@armormodekeeg.blacksky.app · 2w agowhat do you mean the 2XKO devs dropped an entire blog post seething that people think their game's name sucks and they take pot shots at Under Night in it. that's hilarious
where "fun but not strictly the biggest number" isn't allowed because it's not *the best* way you can possibly do a thing and like that can be a fun problem to solve (as you say) at endgame where you're maybe pushing mastery of specific difficult challenges for sure
i have a specific asshole soapbox rant about achievements and RAs and that sorta thing that kind of intersects this but like i just feel bad a lot of the time about how games kind of land in a place where we've just turned them into a list of chores to complete and an optimization problem...
i went to a Luddite festival in NYC that was organized entirely off social media to prove you don’t need captive tech platforms (yes, including this one!) to hang out and have a good time. @404media.co 📵
Being a Luddite Is Fun Again
As tech backlash hits the mainstream, the ‘Summer of Ludd’ proves we don’t need social media to hang out and have a good time.

7,000 paid Aftermath subscribers would be a good number to slap the board with, I think.
Aftermath@aftermath.site · last wk.As of right now we have 26,205 'free' members. If that's you there's never been a better time to upgrade and try a full subscription! It's just $1! If only 1000-2000 of those free members converted, this website would change forever. aftermath.site/aftermath-su...
Canada's premiers have a bad habit of bigfooting their biggest cities on everything from bike lanes to airports -- and denying them the economic and political autonomy they deserve. It's past time to fix that. And Ottawa can help. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/07/29/o...
Canada’s cities need a new deal. Ottawa should give it to them
A constitutional amendment granting cities the power to tax and raise revenue is both perfectly logical and politically impossible. The federal government needs to find another way to give it to them ...

i refuse to talk about indie games, or a game industry it's a scene, or it's nothing, because it is not the product that matters its the people and the spirit of those people shared in excruciating detail within these computer programs
