Sarah's dad never upgraded Indy in the recent Indiana Jones game. When I came over to help him get past a part late in the last area, I discovered this and got him some upgrades and he was flabbergasted. "Wow, I have so much health now"

My girlfriend often retells how she found OOT's Water Temple to be a real bitch of a dungeon. Which, you know, fair. Then explains that the hardest part was having to come up for air so often. She had never heard of the Zora Tunic.

Godot’s new AI policy is here. the TL;DR: all code must human authored.

The modern corporate environment for video games (and frankly, too much other stuff) is having a hot new exec come in, look at the Golden Goose that reliably lays 1 golden egg per week, say, "I bet it has golden bones!", kill it, and then leave with an exit bonus for hitting quarterly goals.

Adding another games industry layoff to the list because a project fell "short of expectations" and when are we going to talk about those expectations, who is setting them, and accountability for that?

Found this post interesting regarding AC units and climate change

Because electricity bills are absurd right now and jumping to "JUST GET AN AC" at the first sign of discomfort is one of the reasons we got into this fucking mess.

I don't understand how the heat has gotten that bad. Didn't we ban plastic straws???

Like, the fundamental thing with "AI" - it all starts with a massive and ongoing act of theft (or infringement, if you like). It's a few billionaire, or trillionaire, owned tech companies stealing everything we ever did then selling it back as a worse version of the work we all do.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Je retrouve ce dessin fait à Annecy en 2022 👌🏻

so nice for the scifi nerds that Paris is basically Arrakis this week

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

the best reason to be a strong woman is that then other women will ask you to lift things so you go wheeeeee i love lifting things and they go omg thanks for lifting that and you go wheeeeeee i love women. it goes exactly like that every time. highly recommended.

KNEW IT!

"ff7 remake is a little political" i say, staring directly at a hand-modeled shinra spoof on an obscure israeli occupation forces armored vehicle that i know about because i spend too much time on wikipedia

"Pulling a Jill" would probably be launching out of nowhere into a surprisingly specific and argumentative rant that has high probability to end with "and that's all because of capitalism." That, or taking a narrative brief and coming back with a counterproposal that's 487% gayer.

People, not companies, make games.

Praxis, sister 🙏🌈 #pridemonth

i created this meme like 4 years ago on twitter and it went super viral and i think i got like 20 death threats. that's how you know i was cooking with this one

Illiteracy and a lack of interest in challenging one's self is not an accessibility issue except in its connection to lack of access to decent education.

well, it was a fun week of pretending video games were fun, but it's time to get back to the important business of making sure no game ever gets made again

[reluctantly, bitterly amused] i'll allow it

Nier Automata was a fucking *game*.

This is real btw

Stuff you can do as an ally 1. Send queer people money and/or give us jobs 2. Get in between queer people and those who intended to do us harm, physically if necessary, but there's a million other ways. 3. Boycott companies that platform oppressors 4. Honestly examine your own gender & sexuality

Sony understanding women wanna play Deborah Ann Woll as a goddess with a sword

WHAT DAY IS IT

Generative AI has led to entirely new paradigms and unprecedented accelerations in the fields of fucking yourself over in public in the most embarrassing and humiliating way possible

Epic has announced Unreal Engine 6. It's a 20% bigger number than 5, making it the biggest number they have ever announced. Unfortunately it fell short of the last major update (4 to 5), which was a whopping 25% increase.

No matter how innocently it's seemingly done, this act of inputting others' (published or unpublished, copyrighted or not) creative work into a chatbot makes one an accomplice to intellectual property theft.

I don't know, man, I'm just pissed that I will never make a living from something I actually enjoy. What do you want me to say.

Rasheed is literally risking his life for this game. Israelis could decide to capture, torture, or murder him at any point for daring to share the truth of the Nakba or Palestinian culture. He truly believes in games and their power to tell these stories. Please help his courage not be in vain.

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

Excited to say the fourth Heaven’s Vault novel outsold this car in just a few hours!

I was today years old when I realised the etymology of 'bewildered'

Someone please tell the French to stop using "AM" as shortcut for "afternoon"

In most Orphan Black scenes where clones talk to each other (without physical contact), Tatiana Maslany is acting against a tennis ball on a stick.

highly recommend being the tall girl in the relationship so you can get things down from high shelves and have her look at you with the fearful awe people normally reserve for solar eclipses

I thought this felt relatable

Tech CEOs suggest AI job losses could be offset by Universal Basic Income, which they will violently oppose thebeaverton.com/2025/11/tech...

Hey, friends, I need your help for a fellow indie author: We're looking for someone who can provide a sensitivity read for a Mexican American character. The author wants general support in how the character and his family are portrayed in this contemporary romance. Paid, of course. Thank you!
