Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Since a dev shared his game concept last month, Steam has been flooded with vibe-coded slop clones. This is what "democratising creativity" actually looks like. Even with AI, your ideas are worthless as long as they can be plagiarised at scale. Gen AI was designed for plagiarism, NOT creativity.

Dig this thread. My version of this would be: hey, y'all know those 5500HD laptops you find everywhere from the 10's that can't run Windows anymore? They run Linux great. And Godot runs great. Oh and their specs work out to slightly worse that a Switch 1. And there's a LOT of Switch 1's out there.

this is what Im TALKING ABOUT people lets make games for older platforms. they have so much life in them. DLSS5 and $2000 sticks of ram are not going to result in better games come up with an idea, if it can't be represented in under 2000 quads, is it really an idea? (lol)

My first interview on Respec is with @remysiu.com @sunsetvisitor.studio. We discussed how 1000xResist/sunset visitor wouldn't exist without the pandemic, the early days of development, voice acting, cut content, Switch 1/2 porting, Hong Kong Exile, Caves of Qud, Pentiment, Pigeons, coffee, & more.

You should be out making friends in the park or grocery store. But meeting people is hard, especially when the world’s most unfriended nerds want you to use slop machines to make slop friends. This Friday, @erikahall.bsky.social and @kiostark.bsky.social will teach you How to Talk to Strangers!

How to Talk to Strangers

There are 8 billion new friends out there. Or at least encounters that can make memories and good stories. And that’s all life is, really.
