Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Reminder to other indie dev teams especially new teams. Most of us are happy to share advice and give feedback on publisher/funding/platform deals and terms. There are some shady predatory biz weasels that will take advantage of you as soon as your game starts to pop off. Please reach out.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

If that's a double rocks glass, which it really looks like, then that's almost half a bottle of hard liquor being recommended there And like, who amongst us, right? But maybe it should be a less-than-reputable friend, or your own inner demons, encouraging this, like God intended? Not a fucking app

Bedtime is current interrupted by a strong need to play fetch #CatsOfBluesky

the "Isla de Muerta" pattern of UI design: functionality that cannot be found save by those who already know where it is

FINALLY, they've stopped blaming us innocent millenials for ruining the economy and can focus on the real culprits, people younger than me!

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

Really smart take here. A good amount of harm that generative AI is producing in modern society is coming from the fact that a ton of people (sometimes including police) have bought into fantasies about what the technology can actually do.

Streisand Effect in action with this online age verification thing. I've just found out what "porn" is (pictures of people shagging!!) and it's brilliant. A real own goal for Keir Starmer if you ask me. But don't bother asking me, I'll be too busy enjoying "porn"! 😎

I've got 90 slides of magic tricks prepped for my @officialgdc.bsky.social talk, How We Draw a 3D Sprite World: The Stylized Art of Never’s End Join on March 10th to find out how @hypersect.com is making a fully 3D world feel like hand-drawn pixel art! #GDC2026 schedule.gdconf.com/session/how-...

We weren't able to get funding for ENGINE ANGEL and I've been laid off from Ivy Road, so I'm looking for new full-time animation work (New reel is below! YT link: youtu.be/S4QWqyw_vEs) Everyone else laid off in the thread are amazing people and great at what they do so please hire them ASAP!!

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

IF I SHIT MYSELF EVERY MINUTE, AND YOU ONLY POOP ONCE A DAY, WHO IS GOING TO WIN?

This piece is deeply depressing and also extremely dumb? She says she makes six figures because she pumped out hundreds of books with AI. But the books aren’t how she’s making that. She “offers a course” on how to churn out AI slop books and charges people for it. So, a bog standard grift

This is a pretty good example why, even outside of creative, if I find out your business uses AI at any point in your workflow, I lose 90% confidence. It’s not an ethical concern, it’s a competency one. I assume you’re an idiot if you think these things can work reliably in any critical role.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

It's wild how much charisma and heart this guy has

How the grey, heavy skies of Half-Life 2 set the scene for a dystopian sci-fi tale: @konstantinosd.bsky.social pays homage to the work of Viktor Antonov in our first article on Skyboxes. www.eteogames.com/skyboxes-des...

new blog post about: makin' it easier to integrate elaborate (or not) contextual character animation stuff into gameplay in @sleightofhand.game. Like all the best shit, this is not so much technically impressive as workflowily excellent. www.joewintergreen.com/contextual-a...

Listening to Satya Nadella speeches and slowly going insane

Do I know any South Asian game writers/narrative designers looking for a full-time contract?

AI as an accountability sink is one of those harms that I don't see acknowledged super often, but it has huge appeal for corporate and government interests

Today is my birthday, I would be super happy if you shared my art a bit 💫🎉

I regret to inform everyone that the smartest money people out there are, overwhelmingly, dumb as a rock www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

get it right

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

When I worked at Sony we were incentivised to submit as many patents as possible. You would receive a bonus for every one filed, and as your manager I got a bonus as well. A patent is rarely probable, or even very serious.

You ever think about just, I dunno, making a videogame? Making it good? Putting stuff in there that people like? Just an idea I came up with all by myself. You can steal it if you want

There is a weird thing that the Fallout show is doing this season, in which the majority of scenes in the back third of each episode tonally end like they are a cliffhanger. They are using the filmic language of "tune in next week for more" over and over again but then there's still 17 minutes left

Chat I have a question, and maybe it’s a stupid one but my weak anxiety heart has not had the courage to ask: what is the best way to ask for a portfolio review? I have been dying to get feedback but I feel so weird asking someone, especially artists and AD’s I don’t personally know, for a review ☹️

My employer, the obviously evil surveillance corporation founded by a famously weird lunatic and named for the magical seeing stones controlled by Sauron might not be aligning itself with the nicest people. I am very confused by this turn of events

Labour in the UK and the Democrats in the US are both carriers of the same sickness, unable to access the energy and vitality of progressive causes because they accept the authoritarian solutions laid out by their opponents. An electorally barren and morally bankrupt position, untenable in 2026.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Get you someone who looks at you like Minya looks at me #CatsOfBluesky

if it hadn't been for Jonathan Blow I'd been married a long time ago I got a nose ring, it needs to go why won't you wed me, Jonathan Blow

Please, please find a use for my product, I'm destroying the planet to make it and that would be a shitty thing to do if it's not useful. You're all making me and my friends look bad for the bad things we're doing

This man wants to imprison his imaginary girlfriend in a tube on his desk. I don't think we need to take his opinions seriously?

it's so grim. so many experienced people told them this years ago. programmers said vibe coding would create security and documentation risks. writers said editing would eat as much time as generation saved, and quality would suffer. stop? why stop when you can accelerate into the wall harder.

This is INSANE. Trump will be chairman of the board. All decisions of the board must be approved by him. He names a successor and he can only be removed by the executive board, to be replaced by the successor. He also gets to choose the Executive board and veto their decisions, incl removing him
