This is more or less what I say in every conversation I join. Yes, in church, too.

This is a really funny way to hack software, and "slopsquatting" as the name is just... *chefs kiss*

A frustrated Pedro Pascal asking Neil Druckmann, who was directing Pascal in a Last of Us episode, “do you like art?”

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Throwback to the Xmas when I spoofed mobile game ads too accurately, and no one clicked on the video.

the last year of the Sega Saturn in North America was very much quality over quantity

The large-stolen-content algorithms want to be called AI for the same reason cops want to be called “first responders” - stolen valor that replaces criticism with undeserved respect

In the hallmark movies where the lady goes back home from the big city, they never talk about the game she must play pretending that the ethnic food in the small town is anywhere near as good as her family thinks it is. Just grimacing while eating mid Thai food.

Phil Hartman as the Grinch, from a 1994 Behind the Scenes special on TNT. Not directly related to The Simpsons, but this clip was too good to not share, since Phil was a regular Simpsons guest star during this time.

Humans: "humans are trash, I hope we all die" Literally all other animals: "shit, I need some help, I should go find one of those giant terrifying apes, they'll fix it for me, cause that's what they do"

CHOTINER: and when you're in water you PARTICLE MAN: don't get wet, that's right. CHOTINER: And this is because PARTICLE MAN: the water gets me instead. It becomes particle-manish CHOTINER: There's been some debate on this point. Triangle Man, for example PARTICLE MAN: I think we're done here

I'm seein' double! Ocho Bajeena!!

thread of the year of the year

James Baxter’s 2D animation in ‘The Wonderfully Weird World Of Gumball’ new episode.

"Your Favorite Game Dev Is Probably Using AI" not MY favorite game dev, they're all defunct

this game is for CHILDREN?!

Pluribus rules because it’s forcing people who wanna see a bunch of sci fi lore dumps to instead watch amazing actors have incredibly interesting conversations about what it means to be a person

Found this elsewhere and I’m passing it along for the Pluribus/David Lynch crew

actually I changed my mind, I love celebrity boxing matches now. I think everyone I hate should do them, because I'm really enjoying watching the worst people on earth get their shit rocked

I wish discourse about AI in game development would distinguish between "making new kinds of games that couldn't exist without this tech" and "making the same kind of games as before but cheaper and worse with fewer humans involved"

Clair Obscur’s now confirmed Gen-AI usage during the development process has caused their IGA debut and GOTY wins to be retracted.

good gravy i've never wanted to see a gdc talk more

the little "mrrrrph" sound cats make when they jump from a high place reskeet if u agree

"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

really important video from pmg to the point where even complimenting it feels in its own way like a damning failure because this is a couple independent games journalists covering one of the most sophisticated systems of extermination in the history of humanity: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybj1...

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

really important thread

walked into josh's office this morning and he was holding a copy of AD&D. i thought "what could he possibly be doing with this?" but didn't ask. i see now he was posting.

"You say you only used AI for placeholder text, but in that text was a response from the AI saying 'here's a revised version'. Here's what I don't understand - why revise placeholder text? You see my problem? It just doesn't make sense to me. Why revise something nobody was meant to see, unless..."

Gen-ai always makes me think of how DS9 firmly established that replicated food is vastly inferior to real food.

We're not doing the Avatar is the greatest movie of all time shit again. I won't let you. Fuck you. Fuck all of you.

oh this is the coolest

I am so proud of them. the kids did it. they made a new stupid number to say. they may now take their place in history.

How amazing is this? VGHF - found a never-before-seen NES prototype - obtained the rights - finished the game using period-accurate tools - is releasing it physically through iam8bit as a charity fundraiser.

i stand by this statement every year

holy frig it keeps getting better

if I end up tuning into TGAs it’s because I have friends’ studio trailer premiering. for me it feels fine to show up for that. but also like when your trailer premieres can you message me in case I’m not looking

I don't want to talk to a chatbot simulacrum of my late grandmother I want to dream about her alien ghost lover after reading a particularly erotic passage from her diary like god intended

reminded of this classic from the GOAT @bransonreese.bsky.social

the reason for the degradation of personal computing to touch screen finger painting is no one wanted to hear this stuff

The only popups I want in my games are ones that inform me that I have the option to watch Steiner and Quina engaged in some wacky hijinks on the other side of the city.
