I can't believe I've been making a roguelike mining game with fantasy elements and only today learned that the mineral cobalt is literally named after GOBLINS! ⛏️

My game will release in a month, anyone looking to bundle ? It's an arena shooter with an emphasis on positioning and clever #roguelite builds. It also has unique visuals #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

"Commercial research exception" so AI companies can slurp up crearive work and then resell the output to undercut the original creators without compensation.

אסור לקחת ברצינות אף עיתונאי שלוקח ברצינות את המדיניות של טראמפ.

מעניין איזה אנשים ימותו, ייפצעו ויאבדו את כל רכושם עלי אדמות עוד כמה דקות. מקווה שאני לא אהיה אחד מהם. איזה כיף הרולטה הזאת כל פעם מחדש 👌🏼

Im looking

Mike Klubnika tells us about his experience developing the 2024 indie hit Buckshot Roulette, as well as his newer project, s.p.l.i.t. #godotengine

For as long as I can think, I've loved islands, craters, peninsulas - anything involving water really. Which is why even 2 years later, I still like this piece a lot, which rarely happens with my artwprks 🤣 But it's great to daydream :) Anyways, have some details, and have a good weekend! 🌿 Simon

A better world. 🍃

What's your "nobody can start this car but me"? Mine's my 16 year old Kenwood k-Mix.

People in my immigrant community WhatsApp shocked--SHOCKED!--that the Greens ran campaign in Urdu. As if the whole point of elections isn't to get as many people as possible to cast an informed vote for you. "Will of the people" when it's Brexit, but not so much when muslims...?

Some among us are going through life as if they were characters in the Sims or an RPG, where every moment of their existence seems to be about filling a stat's progression bar. Did games do this? Or is this how people are, and games just reflect it?

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

what’s interesting here is that reform is demonstrating that they’d like to go the Trump route of claiming any election that they lost was cheated

Whenever folks ask me about portfolios, I show them this video. In 52 seconds I can see what André is good at. I understand what he is good at. If I need to hire someone who understands game feel, and who can build that on their own, I will interview him. I know this in 52 seconds.

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

Horses. Up there with bicycles as the bane of many an artist. However, I figured out a foolproof way of drawing them, and I want to share that with you! 😊

"When average consumer prices go up, we will make sure they go up even more 😉"

I mean, on the surface it's true - there won't be any pressure from Microsoft. The call for AI will be coming from inside the house.

"Scientists don't want you to know" is like "women won't tell you this"

I completely forgot that games used to have wooden dice! What a great touch.

"Ah yes, how convenient! I can take a picture with my phone and Airdrop it to my Mac to more easily post it on bsky" <click, airdrop> WTF IS A HEIC.

הקונבנציה היא שאומרים את שם המטבע כפי שאומרים את תחילתו של שם היבשת, ולפיכך באנגלית שם המטבע הוא יורו, בצרפתית עעעווורו, ובעברית "אירו".

bonesmashing could have--SHOULD have--just been a euphamism for sex, but NO.

Don't know why but I keep thinking about what a good job The Expanse TV show did adapting the books. Loyal to the spirit of the text while honouring the new medium. Budget and time-driven alterations don't feel like compromise. Even characters are more believable and play to actors' strengths.

cant.stop.laughing

Please shoot me.

It wasn't "out of control". It's a vivlbe coded agent running with full access to your email. You were never "in control".

LLMs arent programmed to "obey". They cant follow rules written in plain english because they are outputting tokens statistically.

Can you find all the motorcycles hidden in the house, children?

free open source software needs fewer engineers and more designers and product people

Hi everyone! I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. I’m looking for Illustrator, Animator, Concept Artist, and Art Director roles. Anything with a 2D pipeline, I'm good at it, and I ship games. I have a classical painting background and 20 years of stylized art experience

”My bone chair is made from over 200 human bones, but it you think about it, a human is also made from over 200 human bones…”

the point of a billionaire tax is not to raise money on an ongoing basis. it is to make being a billionaire illegal

Throwback to this gem

זו התזכורת (הנזפנית במודע) שרובכם לא הייתם לוקחים את הילדים שלכם לסרט או הצגה שהיוצר שלה עדיין בחיים ומשתמש אקטיבית ברוווחים שלו כדי לדחוק נשים, הומוסקסואלים, או שחורים מהמרחב הציבורי. זכויות טראנסים הן זכויות אדם - להחרים את הארי פוטר זה צדק (גם אם הילד ממש רוצה, ״לא״ זה תשובה חוקית).

historian here! Yes

Birthdays are a thing. Mine is happening now. Please look at my art and repost maybe ? 🎂 #art

Even if what he says is true. Even if an AI _could_ produce a game. Who cares. There is no game shortage. There is no problem that needs to be solved by an AI inventing games. Wake memup when AI can solve _actual_ problems, like cost of living or the erosion of democracy. Or cancer.

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.
