Happy Pride month, from VGAPride and my 60mhz Pentium running MS-DOS.

They sure cranked out the tie-in games for Backrooms fast! Such a blatant cash grab rushing those out!

Happy Pride

I miss back when I could watch cute silly pet compilation videos online from unknown sources where it didn't yet feel like I've gotta be scrutinizing every second to tell if any of it's AI generated mind poison trying to get into my eyeballs now I gotta watch it with my hand hovering over block like

Is 'Obsession' one of those 'poorly worded wish come true' scenarios?

Sharing so more people can be aware of this!

Older people love to talk shit about the young generations, but the young are cultivating a fear and hatred of AI all on their own, without seeing all the '60s, '70s, '80s cautionary shows and movies we did (and which most apparently ignored or took the wrong message from).

Fox reporter to protester: You have a dirty mouth Protester: You are a Nazi bitch

I think I've reached a level where I can start giving indie game marketing advice. Okay, here's the first advice post: Be coy, and fey.

You can show me all the charts you want saying the economy is fine but if Serpentor is selling his throne because it won't fit into his new studio apartment, shit is not fine

I watched some documentaries about the making of the first Mad Max, and I think my ASMR is watching old Australians reminiscing about rigging explosions, doing insane stunts, guerilla filming from speeding motorcycles, and illegally shutting down highways to get an incidental shot.

Me: In the future, every car will be like KITT The Future: Pretty Much. Me: And TV will only show me what I want to watch. Future: Absolutely. Me: And robot girlfriends Future: We’re working on it. Me: Sounds great! Future: Actually, you’ll hate all of it and realize it’s a dystopian hellscape.

Imagine being stressed out about life and the state of the world and then you walk outside to clear your head and see this

If religion would allow the funky to flourish, it'd be in a much better place these days.

"I need AI art, otherwise I can't make my project." Randy Savage cut a promo with nothing but a coffee creamer he swiped from craft services. Stop making excuses and do better.

Saw several posts about Grogu. Not sure what's going on there but maybe this will help: swanboy.com/comic/mandal...

sorry, not sorry

Anyone happen to know a human translation freelancer who does game localization ENGLISH --> POLISH?

Shout out to cool Youtube personalities that don't care about their monetization and will bust F-Bombs while talking about physics, or let loose with stuff like 'And then THESE STUPID FUCKS ...'

My student told me he ran his paper through an AI checker to see if it would get flagged even though he wrote it, and it offered to “humanize” his paper by changing the sentence, “Illicit cocaine use is responsible for many potential adverse cardiovascular events” to “Cocaine is a bad, bad drug”

here’s a small reminder that tetrageddon is on steam and you can get it for the fabulous price of free store.steampowered.com/app/354130/T... 🔥✨🔥💀🔥 #IndieGame #IndieGames

Bought this at the thrift store connected to the dump today:

"Y'all are in a death spiral. That's why you have to redistrict. That's why you have to cheat." Watch this man.

once again the big danger of ai is not that it's super intelligent but that it's a big flattery machine which scams people and/or drives them insane.

I'm likely gonna be thinking about that poor lucky/unlucky guy that was driving the bakery truck that got fucking clipped by a passenger plane landing for a long, long time. It's like the Zen Koan of incidents, unlike the usual utter tragedies or straight-up 'Final Destination'-style demises.

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

"Look, Moses has been on that mountain for ages, we were just passing the time! I'm sure when he comes back down he'll understand the difference between 'Idol Worship' and 'Idle Worship', and will be totally cool with this. He'll probably reward us for our pluck!" www.yahoo.com/news/article...

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

Good lord he signs them.

"You can't be a prophet in your home town." "Jeez Dude, don't worry, if there is one thing you definitely are not, it's a prophet." "You're just proving my point!" "Do we have to do this every Thanksgiving?" (I'm gonna do this joke again when it's really Thanksgiving, I just didn't want to forget.)

A limerick. Based on a true story.

There is a new update for Orange Roulette on Steam! It contains subtle aesthetic changes to advance the lore, make some objects look nicer, and the addition of a rather MAJOR game play change. Spinning the Banana Gun cylinder now involves a 'speed meter' to further the illusion of agency!

Gamedevs! I'm not really one to give advice on such things, but MAYBE it's a good idea these days not to call your game 'Something' West. I lost track long ago of which legit indie Western games I was interested in amid the morass of 'Blood' or 'Hard' or 'Gore' or 'Slappy' West games out there!

Wow, I've majorly confused my youtube algorithm

when you have a slow and flickery Internet connection, uploading a game or update to Steam is a very tense experience - you're watching the last 10 percent of the upload with abject fear, 'cuz if the connection drops you have to start over. Thank goodness I don't use Unreal Engine!

Find someone who looks at you like John Waters is looking at whatever horrific thing he's filming:

The easiest thing for an LLM to do is blow happy up a human's ass and feign emotion to a receptive audience, it doesn't even have to absorb the entire history of humankind to do that.
