i have this incase anyone wants to help with the financial side of things, not sure how much i'll be able to do other than offset any amount of debt i find myself in but that's better than nothing i guess bsky.app/profile/laur...

asking this more seriously. once this current visit is over i just need some sort of support system or safety net that isn't based around my shitty toxic family. i'm not working right now but can attempt to find a job whevever i end up. it might take a bit i just don't know what to do

On this day 11 years ago, Rivals of Aether was originally submitted to Steam Greenlight. The original Steam Greenlight page for the game can still be visited here: web.archive.org/web/20150627...

we need to bring back this fucking thing

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.

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...

Anyway I'm just going to say it outright: if you're an indie dev using AI for coding, above and beyond any other objections, what you're telling me is that you have no solidarity with anyone else in games. Not artists, not writers, not other coders. You beleive in personal convenience at all costs.

C for horses be like int mane();

all of the UE6 stuff is really exciting news if your idea of a videogame is turning it into shitty Roblox-core slurry for Fortnite otherwise it's a pretty catastrophic misreading of the room, after indies successfully jumping ship from unity with the promise you actually care about developers

moreover, any artist that succumbs to generative AI as a "helper" in the process is an artist no more. you are to the medium what mold is to a dwelling. an illness, a poisonous growth that threatens the very foundation while damaging any living being around it.

Remember, you’re above using generative AI, and if you think you aren’t there’s an easy solution to that.

Mina the Hollower has sold 500,000 copies! 🐭🕯️ Half a million Hollowers have descended into Tenebrous Isle, and we’re completely blown away. Thank you for playing, sharing, reviewing, streaming, and believing in our haughty little mouse. The adventure is just getting started! ⚔️

Seeing people talk about genAI use in video games and being like "Well it's fine if it's just coding" No, absolutely not. You do not encroach upon my field and decide it's okay just because you think it's less artistic somehow. Video game code is art too. Way more than it's science, even.

Sega confirms and responds to generative AI content in the new Crazy Taxi. "Generative AI was used to support our teams during the development of background assets for Crazy Taxi: World Tour," Sega says. gameinformer.com/2026/06/07/s...

hey. i'm still struggling to find new work. rent is gonna be really tough this month. i'd appreciate any help i can get ko-fi.com/lauriedbunny...

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove + Celeste are bundled together on Steam! ⚓⛰️ Two beloved platforming adventures built around precision, persistence, secrets, and the thrill of conquering challenges one screen at a time. 🛡️✨ ⬇️See the bundle on steam in the link below⬇️

Celeste now has a 10%-off bundle with Shovel Knight on Steam :) great company to keep

Fucking stop using fucking Spotify just fucking stop. There are no excuses. If you're an indie artist and you prop up Spotify because you think it helps you you're part of the problem. Stop using it to listen. Stop using it to host your music.

I highly value engineering and re-engineering a game's code, design, and aesthetic holistically in tandem. AI coding basically throws a bomb right into the middle of that for me. So then it's basically only useful for stuff I would otherwise google - not worth the astronomical costs for me

you should still cancel nitro. Xbox is BDS. don't give them attention.

It’s crazy how Arizona backwards is an anagram for Arizona like how did they manage that

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

What I have frequently heard programmers say over the years: (1996) "Lines of Code" is a terrible metric (2006) "Lines of Code" is a terrible metric (2016) "Lines of Code added" is a terrible metric (2026) I have to use AI because it's the only way to meet my company's "Lines of Code added" quota
