How Zero Parades maker ZA/UM handles generative AI (full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

my heart goes out to all the talented creatives at Bungie who struggled under catastrophic mismanagement for years trying to make a good game who will likely be thrown into the worst games job market in history

Our artform exists for more than just Pete Parson’s cars.

Genuinely devastating news. Again.

Oh *man*. I'm not really sure how to react to this. (Bungie is ending live service updates for Destiny 2, essentially ending development on the game.)

Lars Wingefors continues to be the worst individual malefactor the games industry has ever seen. And he wants you to thank him for it.

Can't stomach up watch this but I'm guessing the interviewer did not respond by explaining how taxes actually work, or even softballing a response like "Why do you say that?"

Is today Steam Controller day? Who the fuck knows given it was at a centre 15 minutes from my house yesterday, crossed the entirety of France last night and is now making its way back! Love me some GLS shenanigans.

As a teacher of English, I can definitively state that yes, this is exactly what happened. Particularly, the curse words. ◡̈

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

"You will take what we offer and be thankful for it."

An excellent article that goes beyond simple CCU counts into the real reason for the rise and fall of the GaaS model.

Happy 10th Anniversary today to The Nice Guys. I wish we lived in the reality where it was a well-deserved hit and we got a bunch of sequels with this cast but I’m still very glad we got the one at least!

Monarch Legacy is a sequel to The Crown.

@aoc.bsky.social follows aftermath so now AOC knows that Scattered Hopes rules. (link in post is broken so here's the actual review)

Nicolas Winding Refn more like Nicolas Winding Rubbish

According to reviews Zero Parades is ostensibly about bootlegging; the copying and dissemination of culturally significant trends and the parasitic effect this has on *other* cultures and consumers... Man that's smart as all hell given the context it was made in.

Hell yeah Steam Controller shipped, baby.

Oooooo I am fucking *jazzed*

The satisfaction of putting down a Reaper leviathan with the stasis gun and a knife alone (after 20 hours of being utterly traumatised by its screaming) is well up there in my greatest gaming moments. I don't want to become The Voider of Oceans, I just want to stop the nasty fish attacking me.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

this feels like the crux of things, and I don't see it highlighted enough: being creative is fun! i want a machine that does my laundry so i can focus more on making art, not the other way around!!

Exactly. People who use AI to write do not deserve to have anything *resembling* writer in their job description.

[Review] Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is available on Steam and GOG! @altshiftgames.bsky.social "Take command of a fleet relentlessly chased by the Cylon Fleet in their attempt to rejoin Humanity’s last hope: the Battlestar Galactica." 15 hours into this game, here's my opinion!

🇵🇸 Voici le message affiché ce soir sur la chaîne de télévision espagnole RTVE : "Le concours de l’Eurovision est une compétition, mais les droits humains ne le sont pas. Il n’y a pas de place pour l’indifférence. Paix et justice pour la Palestine".

Don't you be Eurovision posting, now. Fuck that noise.

Grogu got in the trash and ate some chocolate and he died

Ooooh steam controller get! Guess they got more stock in.

As someone who 1) is very bad at Marathon 2) doesn't have a regular team to run with and 3) LOVES the world building Bungie have been doing with this game... (shit's rad)

...the fuck are we doing man?

Sometimes art is so breathtaking and poignant it defies all expectation

So 3 hours just fucking *vanished* thanks to Subnautica 2. We're so back baby.

People are going to vote for him anyway but, assuming that reform will increase their level of parliamentary power, British politics is about to enter a period of corruption unlike anything anyone’s seen in their lifetimes.

*Guess* which one of these is likely to win the leadership? Just guess.

Artist unknown, bought from a charity shop in St Helens last year. I'm guessing the best way to describe the style would be 'naive'. It's obviously been painted with love but blimey, the eyes do follow you around the room! #EricandErnie #onehundred #bringmesunshine #EricMorcambe #MorcambeandWise

*looks out window* *sees the ship in question* "I'm sure this is fine."

Zohran Mamdani has fully balanced New York City’s $12 billion deficit — an uncomfortable reminder to the political establishment that governments can, in fact, function when taxpayer money isn’t funneled toward lobbyists wealthy benefactors

Wikipedia stays winning

Because everyone deserves to read this:

This is how I picture Uruk hai yaoi

sometimes i see speculation about game writing from writers who primarily work in other mediums and if you're operating from the belief the writers on videogames have similar decision-making autonomy to writers in a different medium, it'd be very entertaining to get a drink with them sometime

Fun fact: the magical child safety solution which Jess Philips cited in her resignation letter is a vendor-specific offering, which benefited from an intense PR and lobbying campaign, and was previously praised by ... Prince Andrew. I always keep the receipts. heatherburns.tech/2026/02/20/t...

I just pissed myself... this is the movie he is mad that people are calling slop... I demand you watch with the sound on... it is so much worse than you think it is going to be...

We made a pretty good coming of age story game but most players won’t even give it a chance because it’s got too much color. We’re not all that different in love, relationships, and generational issues. I promise you can relate to these characters. store.steampowered.com/app/1617220/...

I was the main writer on this awesome game and I don't where to start to thank the team on its hard work and dedication! Thank you @martinrgt.bsky.social (Lead ND) for your support and uninterrupted intelligence!
