I say this as someone who loves the WC more than any other sporting event: every team should get on a plane home right now. Or all the games should be rescheduled for 🇨🇦 & 🇲🇽. The USMNT should be disqualified now & suspended from the next WC. Or, we can start acting like a serious country of adults.

ah, I was wondering why the NYT was having a panic attack yesterday lol

A reminder that the only answer to "did you use AI to develop this game" that will gain you goodwill instead of get you paraded as money-hungry ghouls is "absolutely the fuck not, we take pride in our craft" www.rockpapershotgun.com/tomb-raider-...

Those damn horrors.

we need a moratorium on showing me what the worst people on earth think about a video game starring a woman

we've gone from "writing C simply requires constant discipline" to "you just have to verify the output of the plausible bullshit machine" to "let's not even bother trying"

got credits roll on Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar tonight and had a really good time with it! i had a bit of a rough time dealing with performance and compatibility on Steam Deck/Bazzite, but once i hit a groove it was really good

How many of those bugs are already in Jira, deferred in sprint after sprint?

I would not be shocked if eventually trans runs the same race as “socialism,” where it being a catch all boogeyman defangs it but also causes like 47% of people under thirty to identify as “trans” due to the various anodyne non-trans things they think are trans.

This guy is ok. One of the reasons I buy him is his messages are all kinda Dad coded and don't sound rehearsed. I buy he believes what he's saying. He has a few sales pitches, but he's obviously not a guy who got rich in front of a camera. You're alright Tom

I think the only honest right now answer is “Stick with whatever you’ve already got”. But also - and I say this sincerely, not as an old-game-loving weirdo - there is no need to keep up with modern gaming. Lots of very popular games run on anything. Tetris is great on whatever you have. Let go.

"why do people hate AI" b/c the explicit pitch is that it will ruin their life bsky.app/profile/maxk...

"Why are people so negative about the economy?" Consider this. There are two possibilities: 1) He's right and my livelihood is screwed. Maybe not 18 months but soon. 2) He's full of shit, it won't happen, and AI is a giant bubble that will crash the economy. Why would I feel good about either?

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

Incredible quote from Wyden, that it is time to "start treating the adtech industry as a national security threat."

[undiagnosed nd man gets overwhelmed at the grocery store] this is because I'm masculine

also, bros? being good in the kitchen will get you more pussy than any alpha male shit you've been sold on. a pick up artistry book that doesn't start with "here's how to stock a spice rack" should be pulped.

really cool to see some of the press outlets picking up on Ribbit! big thanks to wes fenlon over at pcgamer www.pcgamer.com/games/puzzle... and @mackeza.bsky.social over at the guardian! www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...

as an indie dev, i think it is becoming clear that your minimum hardware spec should be a potato from ten years ago if you want to find a player base

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

glad to know that if i ever need a quick buck, i can sell my modded LCD deck for an extreme markup over what i paid for it, jesus

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.
