Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

I dunno who needs to hear this but using AI at your Early Concept phase, or for ideation, is literally the worst place to deploy it It isn't creative, what it does is hand back tropes. That's what the model does: sift for likely responses to an input It's like building your foundation out of memes

thought about it again

i wish the inventor of the 3.5mm headphone jack a very bad day.

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

"Dear Idiot (crossed out) Ian... Glad you're not here. " Social history is one of my other interests, and so, I always enjoy checking out old filled-out postcards in charity shops for snapshots of someone's life decades past. Mischievous(?) person sending this, I hope you found your sunglasses.

everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most. sounds like we'll be ok. just have to stay the course here and the "inevitable" new technology nobody likes will die. again. quanticfoundry.com/2025/12/18/g...

ended up rapturing my wizards. whoops

"I'm a game developer." "Oh? Anything I've heard of?" First off, I have no idea what your gaming could even potentially look like. But second, this really sounds like "Have you worked on anything important enough for me to treat you differently?"

New video on Dark Edge and Holosseum, Sega's attempts at creating fighters that broke the 2nd dimension before Virtua Fighter. Which is weird cause why did they do this twice like a year before Virtua Fighter...! youtu.be/olVfDf0vkiQ

Found a tweet. Vtuber Den A Rue sent this stick figure drawing of himself reading a book and compared it to the final artwork SuNa delivered. If you can move a pen, you can communicate.

alright everybody we've solved the problems with this web site

this is probably gonna get me blocked by schrier again but I don't get how anyone with the slightest journalistic instinct lets it drop here when Swen halts midsentence as he OBVIOUSLY realizes he is about to put his foot in it by saying exactly what "anything automated" has been "always considered"

the whole internet loves Larian, the studio that made Baldur’s Gate 3, and has a new thing in the works! *literally 5 seconds later* we regret to inform you that the studio uses generative AI

maybe the whole industry will collapse and a new techn industry will rise with the purpose of making computers larger with more buttons

made another game "Fresh Snow," a tiny sim about walking outside in winter. hope you enjoy!

What originally prompted me to spend months researching how Sega consoles and games were sold in Italy in the 80s/90s was the fact that I kept seeing people adopting "US memories", remembering things that never happened (like Sega vs. Nintendo ads). That's (also) why preservation is important.

A good read! Over the past several years I’ve come to the conclusion that “immersive” as a term for game production is useless The subjectivity of immersion covers such wild variety of experience, when one player’s ecstasy from RDR2’s detailed animations is the other’s death of engagement

Seeing people in the comments saying that To a T was unfun and essentially that he deserves this if he can't make a good game. Gamers, I don't know how else to say this, artists are not supposed to be punished with financial ruin for making imperfect art. That's such a fucked up idea you have

I woke up in the middle of the night with an image burned into my mind that heralded the coming of the end-times. I have re-created this image to the best of my memory, though looking at it now I dunno if it inspires the same feeling of dread as it did at 3 in the morning..

Good

if it has pixels and roguelike elements it's an indie game. if it's a revival of a retro cult classic it's AA. if it has guns it's AAA. thank you for my TED talk

A JPN PS1 FPS obscurity: Expert from Nichibutsu, released in Jan 1996. This is one that feels a good few years older, like something released on DOS in that transitional period between Wolf 3D and DOOM. Elevator door opening, bomb defusing, hostage rescuing; all in a day's work for EXPERT.
