We passed the initial goal in 4 days! So we've upped it - let's push forward to $200k!! Thanks to everyone for buying the bundle and sharing wherever you can.
Brandon Sheffield@brandon.insertcredit.com · 7d agoIn response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...
All nerd hobbies can have the social structure of their communities quantitatively measured with the Q:N (Queer to Nazi) ratio. Pokémon is 8:1. Warhammer is 1:1. Paradox Games are 1:1 but different from Warhammer because the queers and Nazis are the same people.
*36th birthday (released in 1990) But yeah, Solstice rules! One of those childhood "enigma games" that I took the time to finally learn and play through more recently (with hand-drawn maps). Cool to see in-development footage! Also, amazing Japanese box art by Naoyuki Katoh:
Hit Save!@hitsave.org · 2w agoHappy 26th birthday to Solstice, the isometric puzzle platformer developed for the NES by Software Creations! How often do you get to see behind the scenes footage from the making of an NES game? More often today, thanks to the Video8 tape included in the Solstice Player's Pak!

Academia should ban the use of "AI" as a descriptive term because honestly it just makes things so confusing lately. 90% of the times it means LLM, the other 10% can mean a lot of different things, and most times the abstract doesn't clear up what was used. Just tell me what you used, really.
Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915
Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.
Lapsus$: GTA 6 hacker handed indefinite hospital order
Judge says hacker remains a high risk through his skills and motivation to carry out cyber-crime.

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.
Posted this in that one big Facebook indie devs group and got a bunch of "Well akshually you never owned the physicals either" posts, as if a games company ever went to someone's house and "revoked" their physicals by force, right? chequered.ink/its-time-for...
It’s time for a “Right To Own” law for games
Nintendo, Grand Theft Auto, PlayStation: the trend to digital-only must be met with new pro-consumer laws.

Thought of another fun exercise everyone can try: turn Bouba and Kiki (of the Bouba/Kiki Effect) into characters that fit your own tastes and interests
My biggest pet peeve is that there's a ton of scam websites that are "Free QR Code Generator"s then the QR code stops working after a few days and then redirects you to ask you to PAY to re-activate it. I made a page on website for making ACTUALLY FREE QR Codes. Enjoy. konig.games/QRCodes/ #QRCodes

With the newly released AI warning for Steam v1.1.0 you can turn the AI disclosure on Steam store pages into an unmissable popup and blur or hide games with an AI disclosure in the search results! github.com/seeeeew/aiwa... addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo... chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-wa...
Visiting Ireland has been such an interesting but mixed experience. People are lovely, the places are beautiful, the food is so diverse... But there are the constant reminders of the deep marks made by colonialism.

New: Researchers have quantified how easy AI search is to manipulate. Just 13 words buried in a random Reddit comment can poison AI search results. They suggest this is not easy to stop: "The way you can attack these systems is so much dumber than you think it is" www.404media.co/it-is-trivia...
It Is Trivially Easy to Use Reddit to Manipulate AI Search, Research Suggests
"We show that a tiny snippet—just 13 words—of retrieved text on a UGC website like Reddit, Wikipedia, Quora, or Facebook can change AI agents to output spam / scam content pretty consistently."

I can't even start putting in words how much "auctioning" in the same sentence as "punk" sounds offensive

Truly inspiring to see large corporations like Unity and Epic openly learn from each other and create true interoperability, in that both engines now equally and seamlessly support "moving to Godot". www.unrealengine.com/news/the-roa...
