I know a fae trap when I see one

day 6 - 14. catchin up!!!

This one sparked some debate, so I wanted to ask: do you think she’s good or evil?

i saw this talk in person and it ended up being one of my faves of that year, must-watch for unreal folks

As a society we spend too much time on our phones and not enough time hopping on a quick call to circle back to the KPI's

we're on the precipice of a universal antiviral medication, mRNA technology is out here curing cancers every other month, HIV is cureable AND preventable, renewables generate more energy now than fossil fuels worldwide and and more cost-effective, coral reefs are growing back all over the world rn

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

If you only take the big names as your inspiration you will inevitably be disappointed. There is no career path in games that involves only making big-time successes. Please find inspiration from making work you enjoy and, ideally, uplifting those who DON'T get attention. Many people could use it

if you are an indie game developer, which format do you prefer your environment textures in? TGA PNG asking because PNG does funky shit with alpha channels, while TGA preserves all the channels. I'm probably not going to provide both because that's too much to maintain.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

So when you have the chance, make sure you put in your claim!

Since everyone decided to take the piss out of the book being held instead of realizing the real problem This way of thinking is why a lot of men aren't ok The idea that nah a dude can't be reading cause he enjoys reading, he MUST be doing it for some ulterior motive that bypasses intelligence

I've been waiting for this game @routinegame.bsky.social for ages, very happy to see it looking so crisp and tasty! youtu.be/ATT8WoAauug

studios arent turning to AI. Ownership and dipshit leadership are, and are making everyone's jobs harder in the process.

Sword of the Sea (PS5, 3 hours): In awe at the sound, the light, the color, the movement. The sword surfing grants you perfect control. This team's whole catalog is woven into the game's fabric: in the gliding, the shining waters and sands, and the tension. It's beautiful.

lord I have seen what you've done for others

my college kid was heartbroken when on the first day of class the professor said "I used to spend 3 weeks teaching this part, but just have AI create it for you and we'll skip it." Skipping the most creative part of the work. The part my kid most looked forward to.

Show us those consoles

We need everyone back in the office because we want the serendipitous magic that only happens when you let humans get creative together and also we're replacing all of you with an AI machine that can only do things that it's seen done before

As a Technical Artist and as someone who did tons of hair shaders (and got specialized on that kind of stuff), this is very cool and interesting. But, as a gamer, I dont' see the difference haha

For my next indie game, I'm going to be animating another heavy boy.

It’s a good thing that no actual human beings were fired for these pilots right? Right? fortune.com/2025/08/18/m...

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

I suppose this is the point when I should say again that: the amount of money the videogames industry brings into the UK economy every year is *more than double* the value of the fishing and steel industries *combined* what this country is really good at is producing culture
