Getting old sucks. I don't recommend it.

hi speaking as a narrative lead on a GOTY and long time builder of VO pipelines, this has literally been a solved problem for ages with text to speech and other tools so we haven’t ever needed evil shit like genAI for this solved ass problem. This is basic shit.

Surprising no one (except CEOs), humans don't want to engage with content made by LLMs.

Listen, if you want to replace GDC you need to understand the function it serves and what value you provide that supplants a very popular gathering. Just making a thing and putting it online doesn't replace it. You have to actually make it worthwhile.

Such a great feeling when you finally get things to the point that it starts to really feel like a game. Today that was getting some placeholder effect animations for abilities put in place and triggering.

Too many games fall into the trap of not letting their worlds breathe enough. Not everything needs to be a string of combat encounters, inventory management problems, deep ruminations on existence or crafting. Sometimes it's just a time and place. Atmosphere. Incidental conversations.

Moss Moss is a genuinely joyful game that's a delight to play. Give it a try!

I was today years old when I realized that Deep Space 9 is a western.

In Mexico I am known as Señor Logan.

Apologies but, friends, you should be using Linux.

reminder that when you see this in windows, all it means is that the developer didn't pay microsoft protection money microsoft doesn't care if something is malware, as long as it's signed in a way they approve of.

Couple of notes here: 1. The failure rests with leadership and noone else 2. The leadership of failing companies blame employees to save face 3. There is no evidence that even if there was espionage that it damaged the company

We should have just let him do it, really.

I've been helping test drive Chatto since the very early days and it's really excellent. It's come a long way, and it's still a work in progress, but already crazy good.

LLMs are the fools gold of AI

Unless you're already successful or have an instant mega-hit on your hands, there is no future in GaaS. And we're all out of instant mega-hits.

One would think that knowing more languages means you are better equipped to correctly pronounce new and unfamiliar words except it is, in fact, entirely the opposite.

As the old adage goes, "The only perfect codebase is the one with zero lines of code."

In an hour of playing this I laughed myself to tears at least twice. I say at least because I'm pretty sure I blacked out at some point.

Not worth it.

Welcome to...

Wrote a bunch of code this morning that was pretty clever and it appears to just be working so I'm giving it some serious side-eye...

looksmaxxers are just hammer bros with bad aim

I find time limits and QTE style timed mechanics in games to be super stressful. They absolutely sap my enjoyment for a game, even if they're a cool idea (i.e. showdowns in Ghost of Tsushima). There really needs to be more care put into the design of these mechanics and options to mitigate them.

Super productive day working on the encounter system today. Sorted out a lot of core behaviours and got it into a pretty good state! 💪

We are at the point where when we hear a CEO open their mouth, we should actively ridicule them as they have been proven to be a force of selfish gain at the cost of society. If you have met an honest CEO, you haven't met a CEO.

Idiotic take. Likely on purpose but I'm willing to concede that Altman's just an idiot suit looking for more cash. The evolution of humanity didn't boil oceans, build harmful datacentres, gaslight and mislead people to dangerous ends or degrade human cognitive ability. But "AI" does. LLMs do that.

Ocarina of Time A Link to the Past Link's Awakening

I'm the solo dev on: 🌲🪦🤖✨⚔️😞

It would be great if we could decide, universally, if new posts are at the top of the list or the bottom. This per-app direction thing is weird.

You can be a veteran in your field and struggle to get a job, but an exec can get appointed to an industry leading position they have zero relevant experience for. Funny, that.

This says everything you need to know about GDC and its priorities.

Watching Microsoft circle the drain as it shoves AI down everyone's throats and ignores what it's userbase actually wants makes me so fucking happy I moved to Linux a few years ago.

What a fucked up news day.

Microsoft with another stunningly idiotic move.

In case anyone's curious, when a mandolin string snaps, it stings when it hits your picking hand. Ow.

Being a good person is hard, but then, nothing worth doing is easily done.

Things I yelled at my dog today: Don't bark at my penis!

Where I post from

Very briefly confused faoileag and foileag and seriously wondered what the Gaels were getting up to today

Character levels

Trillions of dollars and massive amounts of natural resources. For this.

Literally no one wants this except people who believe they have most brilliant idea for a game but refuse to invest in building the skills the create it. Also, there's no way this will create something shippable or sustainable.

Police pepper sprayed and tear-gassed anti-ICE protesters in Montreal today.

If anyone wants to know why AI generated trailers are all 5 second smash cuts, just look at the new big budget trailers getting released for a clue. It's all the same shit.

Age verification? I invented the question mark.
