one thing I miss from the pre-genAI days is that there was no questioning that human nonsense was simply human nonsense. a dog piloting a plane? some silly human toiled over that in photoshop. now, when something is nonsensical, we question if it’s ai and don’t get to enjoy it the same way.

Normalise calling "the RAM crisis" something else, like "the RAM piss take" or "the RAM swindle" or "theft"
Any hype for GTA 6 is very much tainted with Rockstar Games unethical process of firing employees 😬
I firmly believe that corpo greed will result in the next video game crash. The majority of customers simply won't be able to afford the hardware due to the current AI driven hellscape, and when next gen gaming ends up as a niche, prices will rise further so AAA games can attempt to turn a profit...
Welp! Looks like working in my office when the UK weather will be 40 degrees is going to be next to impossible with only a tiny desk fan and my PC fans sounding like a jet engine already 😬
Managed to give an old laptop a second life after Win 11 basically bricked it, as it didn't have enough HDD space to update, and after clearing all the data, it still didn't have enough space 😑 I opted to format, ditch Windows and roll with Linux Mint, and oh boy! What a great OS!
Does a stable version of After Effects actually exist? Starting to think that CS6 was the peak and it was all downhill after that. I love my job but man, it's really hard to love this software!
DLSS 1-3: "for a small cost to image quality you can turn raytracing on without tanking frames. Cool huh?" DLSS 4: "you can have full path tracing but looks a bit like YouTube compression if you move the camera too quick so just don't do that" DLSS 5: "game looks bad and runs like dog shit"
What the hell has happened to Windows 11?!? Running so damn slow! Is the entire operating system just janky vibe code now??
I had the misfortune of catching an AI debate on the ITV Good Morning show... and the level of idiocy, flip-flopping and short sightedness had me in disbelief 😑
Looking forward to Replaced releasing in April. Good to know that a game with this amazing visual style is actually coming out... I legitimately think the other game in this style (The Last Night) was nothing more than a faked trailer 😬
Petal Runner was another stand out Next Fest demo, packed full of charm and style 🙌
I highly encourage everyone to play the demo of Phonopolis. @amanita-design.net have created something truly special here. I played on Steam Deck and legitimately said out loud "That's so f*"king cool!!" Multiple times 😄 I cannot wait for the full game to release 🙌
Monetisation really did kill Twitter. The amount of grifting and engagement bait (especially Gen AI engagement bait) is ridiculous! Legitimately a place where intelligent discussion and compassion are all but dead 😬
Between Mario Tennis Fever and Super Battle Golf, this year is off to an incredible start for over the top sports game insanity 🙌🙌🙌
I've changed my phone alarm to the 3DS Internet Settings music track and my life is now infinitely better 🙌
Demo's for Denshattack and Replaced are awesome! Instantly wishlisted 🙌
Hey indie friends If you have a character that needs a voice in 2026 I have both a microphone AND a voice
Hello everyone my name is Jon and I sometimes yap within a video game itself where no one can escape me I've been in games such as Cat Quest 3, Demon Tides, Gold Gold Adventure Gold, Pompeii: The Legacy, Conqueror's Blade, Run From Mummies, Nemiza's Verdict and more to announce later
Think how many indie game studios you could have bankrolled with all that moolah.
The division has lost over $77 billion since its inception in 2020.
I'm really trying to get into the Dragon Quest series, but continue to bounce off it 😅 The DQ VII Reimagined is beautiful and the music is stunning... But the dialogue, puzzles and combat is so paint by numbers 😬
I’m quite seriously concerned about the economic collapse that’ll come with the AI bubble popping, and I feel like this really illustrates why: so many headlines touting huge numbers and insane productivity for services there is absolutely no market for. Who wants 8,000 extra books a year?
Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.
Rewatched Kill Bill, last time I saw it must have been 10+ years ago. Gawd DAMN it's just as incredible as I remember 🙌
