Ever wanted to make an #Amiga game in Scorpion Engine? This could be a good place to start: mixelslab.com/scorpion/ - it won’t appear new to readers of Zzap Amiga, but I’ve expanded on it and built a section for more tutorials and deep dives.

My Stream Deck is having a seizure. 😵‍💫

Okay please let's not call him that

The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline. It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient. It’s really hard. But there it is.

artists and designers using ai like

They also don’t understand how much of the finished art comes from the process of making it. They think the initial “vision” is the magic, and the rest is donkey work. But you learned more about your creation by drawing (painting / sculpting / writing / coding) it. It’s a conversation and a journey.

Showed my dad my Miyoo Mini. He instantly got interested asking if it got Amiga, C64, CPC, all the old PCs and consoles he had. "yuh, got all of them" "man technogy isn't all bad, huh" The GENUINE smile on his face, love to see it.

Godzilla has no fucking idea how to load that paper and is begging you for help.

Everyone ten years ago when The Force Awakens came out: “Wow, this is dumb. Why are the fascists just doing the exact same plan again?” Everyone now: “Oh.”

the idea that lots of gamedevs are secretly using ai is booster bullshit what on earth would I use genAI tools for? Coming up with ideas? Writing? It’s shit at those making 3D models? Coding stuff? It’s shit at that too oh but it’s faster maybe? Did I mention it’s shit at things? seems important

I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.

Happy to finally be able to release CMO demo 2.. It’s way shorter than the first one, but has much harder levels. #amiga #gamedev

Ok so I have a proposal for how to fix the problem in baseball

Domesticated animals have pulled our heavy carts and turned our large mills for centuries. But what about the opposite end of the spectrum—what if the wheel you want to turn is so small you can’t see it? Turns out we can harness the power of bacteria to power the world’s smallest machines. 1/7 ⚛️🧪

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

in a way aren't we all holding a barrel in the darkness

Why the fuck is that Monster High Alien collab doing a better job at adapting the original Giger design than pretty much every Alien sequel that ever came out

Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

Weird.. Enabled Black Frame Insertion on the big OLED TV as it makes motion (particularly panning cameras) so much smoother.. But my daughter (17) can see the black frames, so it’s unwatchably flickery for her. I wonder if I can set a shortcut to toggle it.

Today is my birthday! Could you, please, share my art, it is the best gift an artist can get 💖

New (very grumpy) family member; Puca.. He’s a rescue and fighting some health issues and not happy about it at all. But he’s settling in well. He hasn’t met Penny yet, he’s in quarantine until he’s feeling better. #caturday

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

Yep.

The skunk ape is a hairy cryptid said to inhabit the forests and swamps of the southeastern United States, especially Florida. It resembles Bigfoot, but is thought of as smaller, closer to an average human in height. The skunk ape produces a foul, skunk-like odor. 🎨Jaxson #WyrdWednesday
