Like plastic, AI is permeating every corner of life—from classrooms & offices to military arsenals. But there is still time to manage AI better than we did with synthetics. Policymakers can act now to craft regulation that protects citizens while harnessing its benefits, writes Caroline Baxter:

Anthropic v. Hegseth: Pretextual Designation and Unlawful Punishment By Harold Hongju Koh, Bruce Swartz, Avi Gupta and Brady Worthington www.justsecurity.org/133247/anthr...

Y'all ever prank your future self? Like hide hide your keys before bed?

How is it Thursday? The snow ate half my week! If I eat the snow, do I get my week back?

The entirety of Mad Max: Fury Road. Doubly for the fact that they heavily relied on practical effects!

Jesse Ventura may be radical in some of his views but he is a true patriot. I'll stand behind Ventura any day. youtu.be/udSUbBhA8I0?...

Some of the Black Mirror episodes have aged unfortunately well.

I made a dvd logo screensaver simulator! It's almost the same, except it can't hit corners, and there's a built-in dead pixel. Because fuck you. markaldrichisme.itch.io/evil-dvd-logo #gamedev #indiedev #nostalgia #memegame #horror #gaming

I wonder if Labubus are ever used in money laundering

Over at Kotaku, we are trying to cover at least one cool indie game every week. It's called Indie of the Week! kotaku.com/opinion/impr... If you are an indie dev with something cool, feel free to send it to [email protected]!

Finally, SOMEONE had the courage to speak the TRUTH!

How much can a gamedev make if they change careers to stripping?

Went to @bostonindies.bsky.social Demo Night to show off my game about bears mauling children! I got a lot of great reception, and a few ideas for improvements. But I have other projects to do, and the question is: How much effort should I put into a meme game? #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #bible

I would pay real, actual dollars to see Super Mario Bros 2!

The FINAL DEMO NIGHT of 2025(!!!) will be NOVEMBER 24 back at Aeronaut Brewing in Somerville! Come show that game you've been makin' one last time this year, and enjoy a crisp beer or some of that really good chicken karaage from that place all the way in the back www.meetup.com/bostongamede...

If you're interested in attending ( as always, no sign ups required ) and need more information visit our meetup page! www.meetup.com/bostongamede...

Tomorrow, November 24th 2025 at 6PM we're at Aeronaut Brewing for Demo Night! We can't wait to see everyone there! 💀🪄

UPDATE: Unplugging it from my 4k tv seems to have helped a lot.

On this night, 24 hours from Demo Night, I am reminded that my "gaming" laptop is over a decade old, and will NOT put up with my shenanigans. #gamedev

I don't know what a nuzzi is. At this point, that sounds like a privilege over the alternative.

Still plugging away at my game about bears mauling children for calling a guy bald! I'm close to finished! It can handle 200-300 kids running around, animated at the same time (or over 15,000 if you aren't looking at them) #gamedev #indiedev #biblestory #gaming #unity3d

Cramming Wicked because I told my gf I'd read it before the sequel came out. I'm surprised none of the violence or sex scenes made it into the first movie, they're basically a third of the book!

CEO: We need to cut costs. Accountant: We paid you $50 million last year. You are being paid $1 million for this meeting. CEO: Who's that in the hallway? Accountant: That's Greg. He is the only thing keeping this company together. We pay him in nickels and Grubhub gift cards. CEO: Fire Greg.

The Steam page & trailer for Brickstrike is now live! It's a little surreal to see my first solo project on the storefront store.steampowered.com/app/3758260/... #game #games #indiedev #steam #gamedev

UPDATE: took a microbreak from bears to fix up Infinipong, my never-ending pong clone! I fixed a rendering bottleneck, so now the game can handle more than double the balls before it breaks! (500,000 -> 1.2 million balls!) #gamedev #indiedev #gaming #videogames

Slowly figuring out Unity ECS animations! I'm probably going to switch over to a paid package that does it better for my next project, but this one was a learning experience! #gamedev #indiedev #bible

Coming soon! The return (since last week) of the Magnificent Glass Pelican ( #NOTapodcast) audio theater #improv #comedy half-hour on @wfnptheedge. 7:30 p.m. on 88.7 FM and streaming here: radio.securenetsystems.net/cwa/index.cf... . #SUNYNewPaltz

I desperately wish @unity.com had a built-in animation solution for ECS. My current workaround is functional, but I lose a lot of the performance benefits I expected out of DOTS. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev
