The novel PROCESS is the tragicomic story of an embittered failed tech entrepreneur in his own words. It’s published by Ireland-based independent press Tune & Fairweather. I even read the audiobook. You can listen to me. www.tuneandfairweather.com/collections/...

Now would be an excellent time to wishlist our just announced bird-based mahjong-inspired deckbuilder Sparrow Warfare, don't you think? store.steampowered.com/app/3473440/...

The irony is, even for most streamlined game dev learning platforms, Roblox has like, professionally speaking, shit for actual game ai tools. But now can I use an LLM to generate an FSM?

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

this is andrew cuomos current campaign strategist, this is revealing in real time just how much vote blue no matter who is a statement centrists use as a weapon to get the left in line

Lol this is in Los Olivos, the fanciest town in central coast CA wine country. It has one stop sign in the center of town, no traffic light. The winery Paul Giamatti chugs from the spit bucket is down the block. You ain't moving here unless your rich, the house is irrelevant.

The notion that you could use the term phD in marketing as a product this is laughable

Back a looong time ago I was writing physics engines and it was lonely. You had to explain what that was, and it was fucking hard. Anyway, This kind of game sounds like what I dreamed of.

Why are they they fighting Zohran harder than they’re fighting Trump

Zombies in movies have been metaphors for communism, xenophobia, post 9-11 terrorism, social media, etc, but have they ever been a metaphor for... Boomers? (re: Cuomo not giving up the race)

Superman is the story of an immigrant who grew up in Kansas, landed a low-paying job as a reporter in Metropolis, and still had time for a hobby because urban housing was affordable.

Skin Deep shotgun facts (music by @ghoulnoise.com )

Dismantling these departments that warn us about the weather is in Project 2025, and the core reason is they say these departments (RIGHTLY) drive “climate chang alarmism”, which “is harmful to future prosperity” (aka BIG OIL PROFITS)

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

a lot of people compare programming to like, writing a recipe or telling a robot to carry out instructions, when what it's really like is getting bugs bunny to tell you whether it's duck season or not, and it always ends up with an anvil falling on you

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

You may think fandom being horrible is some modern thing, but like all things we have always been here.

“What does a human slowly going insane look like to a corporation?” Mr. Yudkowsky asked in an interview. “It looks like an additional monthly user."

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

There it is. There was no way a literal army of lawyers willing to sue preschoolers wouldn't tamp this down. I assuming it either took a while to build an airtight case or just for the lawyers to convince the execs they'll lose more money than productivity gained in making a stream of content goo.

We are now risking lives and actively letting people die because they can't afford inhalers. Why? Because insurance companies are emboldened to not cover them under Trump. Cole Schmidtknecht died because of price-gouging — and he didn't have to.

I would greatly appreciate your help with spreading the word that @gamedevmap.com is now on Bluesky!

I like* that not only this would be a thing proposed to him, but a thing that he would then convey, regardless. (* like meaning I find it hilarious in the way that I'd prefer if Mythic Quest was made in the style of Arrested Development).

SAG-AFTRA publicly releases its proposed AI terms to end strike ##gamedev##gamedevelopment##indiedev##AI

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Wait did the rats just electrify themselves? Do you now have to fight electric rats? Nice.
