I know "fuck you it's January" is a meme but personally there is no month that has a more rancid of an energy than February. If January is the Monday of the year, February is the Tuesday, where you're suddenly aware just how much bullshit you have to endure before the weekend (October) returns

Big ditto here. Saying "Indies are the future, AAA doesn't matter" doesn't acknowledge the many ways indie can also be unsustainable/exploitative--and it doesn't respect the craft of AAA devs! So many cool people making incredibly cool things that couldn't exist otherwise!! Solidarity is important.

i never post music here because i dont like making videos but i made this dynamite man cover with the warioware twisted sf2 the other day and i really wanted to share it #aidanarttag #antonblast

average Wario Land final boss: here’s some projectiles I hope you don’t throw them at me average Wario Land-inspired indie game final boss:

Admittedly I was delayed getting to AntonBlast but it’s become one of my favorite games ever made #AntonBlast

Namco Games Give The PlayStation An Unfair Advantage!

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess

If you're hoping to work with the team at SUMMIT, keep your eyes peeled this week.

Airport security be like: Uh....... your feet are looking extra suspicious....... I'm going to have to ask you to take your shoes off....... uh, no, the government shutdown means you can't use the line where you DON'T take your shoes off.......

ever notice how every giant fandom becomes a toxic cesspool full of drama and resentment towards the creator of the work they're all obsessing over, hmm almost like centering your life around a piece of media is not healthy

I heard they're making Anton Twinsanity

Xbox. Good lord.

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org

logodecks featured Manabu Sakamoto earlier today, and his collection of playstation logo ideas is 😚👌

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

30 Years Later

Today I woke up increasingly fucking angry about this. I'm sure 10+ billion hours of children scrolling an endless dopamine hit of slop games is 100% fine for their development, right? I don't look at this as market opportunity. I look at this with genuine fear for the next generation.

AI is revolutionizing the world! A Playstation now costs $5,000 and this is the last phone you will ever own.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

Articles written by AI reviewing video games made with AI sure does sound Normal and Appealing It's not like writing (a personal, subjective art) about video games (a personal, subjective art) will lose its appeal and audience when all personality and humanity are gone from both ends of the process

I just noticed that the Dynamite Anton plush is already sold out... wow! Thanks everyone, we'll try our best to get more made ASAP. :'}

happy year of the horse from your friendly neighborhood horse girl!!! 🐴💖✨ wishing us all a year of adventure, freedom, stability, and strength (and many many more good horses to pet)

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

ANTONBLAST... 2!!!!!!!!!

Who... is... this... red guy?! Shipping now, along with physical editions of ANTONBLAST for Nintendo Switch: www.fangamer.com/collections/...

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

I was about to pitch a story about Riot Games' broadening success with both this game and the new TCG Riftbound. Now? Welp, it sure doesn't inspire confidence in EITHER product category. Why should I believe your pricey new card game won't get the same out-of-nowhere yoink treatment?!

Remember kids: - Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials - You (probably) don't need Jira - Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date - Don't put up with stuff; speak up - If someone can't speak up, speak up for them - Stay a little silly but take no shit

resharing this classic for emphasis on the first point 🙃 take it from someone who has been forced to work professionally within a Discord (TWICE!!!) and seeing the countless flaws both times - Discord is NOT for business. it is a social media platform, and it is not secure. please get a Slack fr

More than anything, what I find most interesting about this sheet is just how vastly different the metric of "success" in video games was measured as compared to today. A very different (and much healthier) industry.
