Sigourney Weaver over Grogu: “Geen poppenspelers”

Now that I've played a ton of 3DS games, on 3DS consoles, I can't help but feel like we've lost something special. Games dedicated to handheld play, meant to be fun for a few minutes to hours are just incredible - and not made anymore We need smaller handhelds and these experiences back

Commenting here: Faye, *please* DM me or something so I can find out what the setup requirements are to get XIV to work on this thing because I need this on my Thor.

Dems have the literal best campaign message handed to them on a silver platter and 99% of them refuse to actually do anything with it other than a strongly worded twitter post and the occasional uncomfortable question during a Senate hearing.

The "AI cannot replace artists and creative workers" to "2000 laid off" pipeline is still alive and well.

I DO NOT WANT TO 'CHAT WITH MY FILES'

It's fascinating being on the outside of certain gaming circles bc I'll find hour-long video essays explaining why some fictional, murderous, morally grey crime lord is the most perfect specimen ever created and Zenless Zone Zero seems to live entirely off of the design philosophy of "girl pretty".

Useful thing to use here

Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

My best friend is not doing a trial roulette while we wait for the keynote at #FFXIVFANFEST bruuuh 😆 @0x51.bsky.social

FanFest was great. Wish I had cosplayed or something, but met a bunch of new friends and I'm stupid excited for Evercold.

Remember: These rats are not suddenly turning on Trump because they somehow gained a conscience from him threatening literal genocide. They're doing it because he's not committing genocide the way *they* want him to.

Remember: Everything republicans do makes significantly more sense when you realize that republicans don't actually believe in anything. They have absolutely no morals or values whatsoever. Their morals and values are "whatever makes our opponents the most wrong".

here's a free idea: RAM shortage jam, where you have to make a game for a system with low RAM capacity. like maybe less than 128mb or something

Nothing says "happy easter" like listening to my dad proudly proclaim that hobbies like programming aren't real hobbies because you "have nothing to show for it" and "computers are better than you at everything", but it won't matter because "everyone is going to have to be okay with owning nothing".

The number of 'fictional weapons aren't realistic!' takedowns of anime/movie/game weapons is so... Bro you want every single show, game, and media to just be the exact same shit using the same three moves? Fuckin' boring. I don't want realism, I want cool shit.

Wild that Linus Tech Tips sees employees leaving & publicly calling out the low salaries the company pays, sees how frail their reputation is after the Gamers Nexus report, sees the state of the world... and still buys a goddamn private jet. Money truly rots people's brains.

Nintendo as a company seems to be almost entirely comprised of people who never play Nintendo games or consoles, because seemingly everything they design nowadays is made in spite of the people who want to use them the most.

this is turning out to be one of the onion's all-time classics

So fuck Epic Games completely.

The value proposition of AI immediately implodes when you keep two things in mind: 1. AI in almost every form literally does not provide any new functionality that hasn't been provided by any other technology. 2. AI does not fulfill any consumer use case better or cheaper than any other technology.

Watching a demo of how you can turn every NPC in your RPG town into somebody who says "That's right — you *are* the four LIGHT WARRIORS. You make a great point! The bridge to the main continent *does* need to be repaired, and you're just the person to do it."

It's always funny to me when people say "no one can prepare you for how hard parenthood is" when that's been the most fundamentally universal sentiment of parenthood since the fucking dawn of time.

yeah ill believe it when I see it.

Anyone who parades AI's presumed competency replacing workers *as a result of its competency* ALWAYS either: A. Has a vested interest in you believing that AI is inevitable and is better than you and everyone you know at absolutely everything. or B. Has no fucking idea what they're talking about.

youtu.be/56HJQm5nb0U?... Absolutely amazing video from start to finish. Anyone who says that AI will be replacing any sort of programmer in the next five years, let alone the next six months, has absolutely no goddamned idea what they're talking about.

Hot take but a massive amount of the "bloat" game development as an industry deals with is a direct result of forcing game devs to work on mediocre games made as a product to support a business and "be safe" rather than...ya know. a game.

I recently got approved to take the SANS Incident Handler course (SEC504), and there's a frankly unbelievable amount of AI dogshit in this course.

Stranger Things: Giving people exceptionally unrealistic expectations about the emotional competency of the average DnD player.

Gonna start the new year off by removing Windows and Microsoft entirely from my network. Fuck Microsoft entirely.

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

there will never be total divestment from the game awards as long as it continues to do this so the better conversations right now are 'how can we pressure him to do better' versus 'stop paying attention to it damn you'

Anyways cancel Disney+. Make shareholder value drop through the floor.

Jimmy Fallon: so this new product is called a shit sandwich? is it good? Guest: Yes, Jimmy. It's great. Jimmy Fallon: [taking out a photo of a shit sandwich pasted onto a black piece of poster board and showing it to the camera] wow. would you take a look at that?

no idea

im so tired.

I was just trying to play some Pokemon Snap...

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

Having just finished MP4, and having grown up with Hunters as one of my absolute favorite game, it honestly baffles me how much they gassed up Sylux as part of the game and he legit isn't there for 95% of it.

There's going to be an entire generation of directors, managers, and executives who will have built their career off of simply saving companies going all-in on AI.

look man i played hours of mario kart world and I like it, but STILL haven't seen the 80 dollars in it.

It's utterly fucking wild to me that one of the biggest "influencers" I was told to follow at the beginning of my cybersecurity career is someone who, without a single drop of red team experience, is trying to write a book on "entry level" Red Teaming with an AI generated cover to boot.

TEA HAS BEEN CLEARED TONIGHT!!! MY FIRST ULTIMATE WITH AMAZING PEOPLE!!! 🥰 #FFXIV

Megabonk guides are really funny because every one of them essentially boil down to "just get lucky lol"

To 'AI First' Companies. Remember, there are no AI generated customers. People invest in people.

Vaccinate your children, yourselves and your pets.

It is always ethical to bully Amazon.

A 26-year-old PwC consultant built AI agents to cut client headcount by 30%, only to get laid off himself. This is the reality behind the hype. AI isn't fully replacing people yet, but it is downsizing teams, turning 10 workers into 7 who now need to spend their time reviewing LLM outputs.
