a bit late but happy holidays everyone! (๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝*

Innerhalb weniger Tage kündigen Sparkasse Göttingen und GLS-Bank alle Konten der Rote Hilfe e.V. Der Grund: US-Druck über SWIFT. Auch DKP, ABC und weitere linke Organisationen sind betroffen. Das ist kein Einzelfall. Das ist politisch. Jetzt ist Solidarität gefragt. rote-hilfe.de/meldungen/ko...

🚨 Nueva función de Twitter/X para fomentar el ABUSO y la violación de derechos. Ahora cualquier usuario podrá editar a través de Grok cualquier imagen de cualquier usuario de la plataforma, sean obras de arte, fotos familiares, etc. No hay opción para desactivarlo o impedirlo 🚨 📷 @pizza990 on X

you'd THINK when someone hires an artist they'd be like "oh man i can't wait to see the art". but they're "it will be cool when the image i have in my head is magically transferred to canvas by this person" and then when it's "wrong" they get upset. they paid good money for this brain photocopier

what many do not realise is when it comes to video games, more than half the dipshits in charge don't see artists or writers or musicians as people in the first place so this "replace them with ai" thing is very intuitive to them. creative involvement was always an unfortunate drudgerous necessity

definitely my goty* gotta be Fear the Spotlight. what a solid, well-crafted, vulnerable coming-of-age classic horror game 💖 go get it! store.steampowered.com/app/1959390/... *as in: game of the year I've played.

Some studies I didn’t post here yet ✏️

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

nunca he estado tan de acuerdo con el tratamiento de la luz en un videojuego.

13, Rue del Percebe es mi cómic preferido de Francisco Ibáñez por el formato que tiene con la casa. He investigado antecedentes, obras anteriores que tuviesen la misma forma de contar una historia. Voy a ponerlas desde la más antigua, pero antes de nada, el primer 13, Rue del Percebe en 1961:

Not a big announcement but we want to make this clear: we have never nor will ever use generative AI. And that goes for all kind of assets. No placeholders mid development, no presentation materials, no automated localization or voice acting replacement. 🌹 #indiegame #horrorgames #fuckAI

It seems people want to ponder orbs—I mean learn about Matcaps! They're great for gesturing at complex lighting and reflections within a stylized art style. And as a bonus, no UV unwrapping! ^.^

I've decided to release marketingforgames.com before procrastination and perfectionism kick in. What is it? A platform that helps indiedevs discover niche, mid-tier content creators (YouTube-only for now) based on their view and engagement metrics. #gamedev #indiegamedev #gamemarketing #youtube

Uff... Shrouded Suns just hit "Trending Upcoming" in "Space Sim" on Steam and I think it breaks some law of honest indie self-promotion if I don't share this. Want to keep it in there? Cheeky Steam-Link: store.steampowered.com/app/4060820/... #Gamedev #Indiegame #Godot #GodotEngine #SpaceGame

Since I am Bad at Business I forgot to post that I'm trying my 1st subscription sale for BLOOD IN THE MACHINE. 20% off until Sunday. If you'd like to support independent journalism that centers the worker, the user, the humans contending with Silicon Valley and the tech oligarchy, now's a good time.

Woot! Shrouded Suns made it on IGN's GameTrailers channel! My janky-ass teaser is about to get a 7/10 from the gamers over there, but I am hyped :D #Gamedev #Indiegame #Godot #GodotEngine youtu.be/J8cPMuLLfBg?...

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Haunted Pier is still one of the zones that I am the most proud in the game, I really love leaning into the surreal anachronisms that make up the superstructure.

Seems like a good time to drop this here www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/a-complete...

CAIL = prerequisite knowledge for a critical perspective, such as to tell apart nonsense hype from true theoretical computer scientific claims. For example, the idea that human-like systems are a sensible or possible goal is the result of circular reasoning and anthropomorphism. olivia.science/ai 🧵

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

lo barato que es ir a la kölner philharmonie versus el despropósito de los precios de berlín me tiene particularmente triste. si me queréis pagadme dos entradas para escuchar a posrománticos e impresionistas en directo (si me odiáis mandadme a un concierto de barroco). m.youtube.com/watch?v=A12T...

Me han vuelto a contactar pero esta vez es para que hable sobre cómo es ser mujer en el videojuego, y he pensado que mejor les dejo un par de tips por aquí: 1. Visibilizad el trabajo de las mujeres y no sólo el que sean mujeres. 2. Pagadles por ello.
