This was def one of the best talks I've seen at GDC so far this year

The idea generator in #MakeRoom picks a few random words from an array and displays them (like; "cozy green bedroom"). I can guarantee you this does not use AI 😅

This is so goddamned funny

We've just about doubled our wishlists during Next Fest. So glad people are excited for Petunia's and are enjoying the demo! #indiegame #gamedev

Petunia's Purgatory will be a part of Steam Next Fest starting Monday! If you haven't played the demo, that would be a great time to check it out, we're really proud of it 😊 #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #idlegame

"With AI, you can make anything you can imagine!" *proceeds to have zero imagination*

Stop making live-service games. The market can't sustain their existence and employees don't withstand their failure. Not every game can be a part-time job for players and most are already entrenched in an old favourite.

sigh

I made sure to get both of our games working on Steam Deck b/c I am high key addicted to that beautiful black brick.

How does Elon just get to lie about his companies on the daily and face zero repercussions

"soon, anyone will be able to generate a movie/book/video game/podcast in seconds!" keeps running firmly aground on "even if there was an audience for this uhhhhh content, which there isn't, why would they buy your thing instead of just generating their own?" and it's funny EVERY time

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

This is a fantastic read, and sums up so many things that are wrong with modern technology. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

NOT NOW PHIL

I feel like people don't realize how fun the campaign is for this game, especially in VR. This is a steal!

i haven't done this since twitter but at the request of 1 (one) person, OSCAR NOMINEES AS SIMPSONS SCREENCAPS THREAD

We love seeing this guy

Still hard at work on Petunia's Purgatory, our creepy little idle game. Demo is available now!

New Mitski means 2026 can't be all bad www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mOG...

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

This guy here is dead 👇

a loss to San Francisco and to me personally. we played there for years and years until there was really no way for us to play there. "too big" I guess but I will never be bigger in my mind than what the Bottom of the Hill is in my heart.

Dang, this bums me out. One of the last of its kind in SF.

It’s 2026! Here are my ins and outs for Cultured Mag.

Listen, I think Gen AI sucks generally, especially when used in creative works, but we gotta stop attacking creators that we *think* might be using AI without any proof. One of the most insidious thinks about AI is that it makes us doubt what's real. Let's not fall for it. #gamedev

The demo for our new game is out NOW! I'm super proud of it and excited to see what y'all think ❤️ #indiegame #cozygame #idlegame #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/4009450/...

Did... did Geoff Keighley fuck Miss Piggy?

There's literally a Black Mirror episode about this, but ok

I mean, there is only one choice.

I just got added to this list and all I can say is, hell yeah

This is probably the best, most level-headed description of the AI bubble I've read.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

I need just one sip of the Claus juice to become Christmas itself.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

love to see a suspicious amount of people in positions of power who keep getting second and third chances at making studios despite spending years not shipping a title and i wish that mystery money that pops out of seemingly nowhere went into better, capable hands

I'm super excited to announce our new game: 🌸 Petunia's Purgatory 😈 A creepy-cute idle farming game that lives on your desktop! If this sounds like your jam, we'd love a wishlist. Demo coming very soon! store.steampowered.com/app/4009450/... #gamedev #indiegame #idlegame #cozygame #creepycute

i can’t do tutorial sections anymore. i need gameplay right now. i need you to pile every system into my brain immediately. i need the video game tutorial equivalent of being knocked over the head with a crowbar, only to wake up in Cancun with one kidney and my venmo fully drained. just fuck me up

I think people really don't appreciate how remarkable it is that the games industry releases hundreds of video games every year when you consider that not one person on earth knows how to make a video game

I just started using my local library to get e-books and it COULD NOT BE EASIER. Libraries are awesome, get yourself a library card.

I like to nurse and break so maybe this is the chair for me

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

What I like about the Mick Jagger Slow Horses song is that it's basically one of those Will Smith raps where he just describes the premise and events of the movie.
