(A debate about paying full price for computer games had a friend post the Monkey Island "never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game" adjusted for inflation thing) Me: "oh, Monkey Island Inflation" My friend: "...please phrase that a different way"

Gears of War: E-Day is the latest game to become an unwilling participant in a culture war keeping people distracted and putting revenue in the pockets of rage baiters! The voluntary insomnia that these rage beaters display is one of the main ways this war persists.

This looks like the kind of low-effort product that I'd see Stephanie Sterling riff on ten years ago, not something that's the future of game development

The video advertising Unity's ew AI-driven autocomplete game maker has 'Mari' who has a game idea they "always wanted to make" and that idea is "Space Corridor" and it looks like this, and that's the strongest argument I can think of for keeping game dev out of the pro-AI crowd's hands.

A conversation between Theo and Mari. He asks "you know that game you always wanted to make?"

A conversation between Theo and Mari. He asks "you know that game you always wanted to make?"A screenshot of Unity building a game called "Space Corridor".A generic 3rd person space marine in a generic scifi corridor. It is large and empty.

SLOP WATCH: The Sonic Adventure recomp is vibe coded. You can tell because they say so and also because every code comment is a 4+ line short story and people who have actually done real decomp work (SPEEPSHighway) have no clue what it's even doing despite this. gj clod i mean claude #slopwatch

i think the funniest fighting game balance change ive ever seen is in the formerly-rare umk3 wavenet rather than removing the base umk3 infinites by nerfing chars, instead they kept them in but added a cap to total moves in a combo. if u try to infinite still, the game makes fun of you, LOOOL

Right, so. I’m with Ketan here: the theft I refer to with AI isn’t so much training data (which sucks) but the ways that it enables an entire culture of permissible theft maintained by folks who don’t see the harm in what they do.

Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 4d ago

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

The legendary Nickelodeon game show Double Dare made its debut 40 years ago today, October 6th, 1986. It would become one of the cornerstones of the early cable channel days of Nickelodeon and help the channel become a giant not just for children's television but for cable as a whole.
