The fact that children are unable to casually participate in hobbies anymore because everything is about blind consumerism and reselling instead of the love of the game. I think we should publicly humiliate scalpers more

I hate Ai being used at any point of a production but I cannot understand why people think it sounds better to say that you only used it at the early stages of pre-production. That's the fun bit!! The ideas bit!! The creative bit!! The bit that makes your story YOURS.

This is correct. The price isn’t about Valve. It is a wonderful little machine that Just Works, and its part logistics have been fucked beyond all recognition by our AI dipshit overlords. If you were Valve would you want this shit to be a thousand dollars

It really is simpler than people assume it to be. Half of the reason emulation looks complicated these days is because Retroarch is a glossy but overcomplicated mess of UI. Just use Bizhawk for most stuff. It looks like a tiny unassuming Windows stock app with a couple basic options menus.

Like people have claimed that about fighting games for YEARS but anytime i watch a fg tournament lately the top 8 inevitably has 1 or 2 "19yo who just started playing last year" guys absolutely ripping dick off and its like No! The youth enjoy this old shit too on its own merits!!

First shrimp fairy (clearwing hawk moth) of the season!

The Xbox cycle of "We're so big that where we put our games can make or break platforms" to "we're just a smol bean not making enough money so we have to have constant layoffs"

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

"why is there so much [admittedly unexpected fanwork/ship] in this fandom?" Seems logical until you peek under the hood and realise it's 1-3 extremely talented artists with a specific derangement. And the only cure is for you to become deranged about your own thing. You can't stop them. Be deranged

if you are ever unsure about literally anything to do with emulation, you can always ask somebody questions back in april a lot of kids did not know what they were doing and got hit with their data being harvested by hackers and viruses.

Please Use AI

"We already live in a world where you walk outside and there are billboards and signs that are obvious AI slop. That’s become part of our visual reality. To me, generative AI feels less like innovation than a symptom of a broader cultural and economic rot." I like this kid.

The only way for this AI "competitor" to function is by taking a bunch of work off the internet without consent. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

im not accepting any artist saying "idk how to color darker skin tones" i BET you've drawn a character or comm!ssion project with brown pants and/or shoes at LEAST once. have you never drawn a tree in your life??? get those lame ass excuses out of my face.

the rpgmaker forums were such a godsend when i was making In Stars And Time and they are. just deleting them. without backups. so they can create a new, better forum. goodbye rpgmaker history you were lost in the stupidest way possible

ok something i've been thinking about lately cuz i catch myself doing it and also beloved mutuals. we've all heard of inventing a guy to get mad at of course. but i think sometimes we creatives fall prey to inventing a guy who's gonna hate/criticize our work before that work exists.

Romantic partners as well—too often I see people enabling their person’s shitty behavior instead of challenging it. My partner and I call each other out (in private because there’s a time and place) when we feel a situation should have been handled differently and we talk it through

When they say "protect our women and children" we need to take the "our" seriously. This isn't motivated by concern over violence. They just want to be the ones doing the violence. www.thedetail.tv/articles/one...
