AI and AI Slop are negatively effecting both Unity and Godot... in VASTLY different ways. We discuss both... gamefromscratch.com/ai-slop-and-... #gamedev #indiedev #Unity3d #GodotEngine

Here it is, your moment of zen.

Introducing the “AI-BOROS”: the few companies at the ‘top’ of the economy handing each other billions of (debt-ridden) dollars for a product that both doesn’t exist AND doesn’t make any money. and we ALL get to go broke when it inevitably implodes ha ha i love it here!!! youtu.be/ifyaI4TOsDM?...

Google's new game-generating tool is garnering a lot of buzz. If you can make a game with the press of a button, are traditional game makers in trouble? Not yet. Let's talk.

Street Fighter II and Soucalibur are only eight years apart, the length of time it now takes to almost make one game before it is cancelled.

Brazil, stand up! Wagner Moura takes home Best Actor in a Drama at the #GoldenGlobes

Deu Brasil no Globo de Ouro! 💚💛 O Agente Secreto foi eleito Melhor filme em língua não-inglesa, repetindo o feito de Central do Brasil em 1999. O cinema brasileiro é gigante! E a gente fica como? Explodindo de orgulho! 🤩 Parabéns a toda a equipe! 🇧🇷💚

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

@pcgamer.com I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop

Ever find yourself thinking about that old PC game you used to like that you can't find on GOG, and how to play it today? I got you covered. youtu.be/mJlAtx6H53Y

The final day

I really enjoyed that K-Pop Demon Hunters movie this year. I've watched it three times The music was great, and k-pop music is an undeniable phenomenon. But also this....

Join us tonight at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern for a YouTube Premiere of @frankcifaldi.bsky.social's impassioned, energetic talk about the state of video game preservation. This was previously for GDC attendees only, but has been unlocked for all. We'll be in chat! youtu.be/_00AjQNjgDk?...

Film you've seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR or Marvel

I wish they would shift to bankruptcy.

What a great headline

This was one hell of an undertaking. We still have a lot to learn with Linux benchmarking, but we finally have a foundation for it. This is our first-ever round of desktop Linux GPU gaming benchmarks -- we've previously only done this on handhelds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovOx...

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

As Windows Turns 40, It's ‘Evolving’ Into a Bloated AI Slop Machine https://gizmodo.com/windows-40-year-anniversary-evolving-into-bloated-ai-slop-copilot-2000686932

“You know, fair use is fair use and we need to make sure that we’re not stealing people’s intellectual property and rights but..." No! There is no "but" here! That statement ends with a period, not a "but".

Happy belated Birthday to the GOAT GameFAQs. This got so many of us who couldn't afford game guides through the 2000s

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves. A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/when-stick...

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

happy birthday to bill watterson who gave me the gift of encapsulating my entire ethical approach in one comic panel.

We finally know what Canva are doing to the beloved Affinity suite or applications and... It's good news. Maybe GREAT news? They are now all merged into Affinity Studio and... completely free! gamefromscratch.com/all-affinity... #gamedev #indiedev

Did you see the @hardwareunboxed.bsky.social podcast? Very well said imho youtu.be/r3XLQMsQGGk?...

Publishers, we're begging you!!

So the Gaming Copilot beta in the Game Bar apparently defaults to on for model training. Win+G to bring up Game Bar. Go to Gaming Copilot > Settings > Privacy in case you'd like to... review... that setting.

One thing a lot of my friends missed from other social media platforms was interacting with venerable Japanese game devs. To that end I've made a list of folks I know are here, focusing on devs whose games you will have heard of. Please share and tell me who I'm missing! go.bsky.app/5R1tEtT

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

Here is a Reddit threat that explains how to disable Copilot in Windows, which I've just followed: www.reddit.com/r/WindowsHel...

Gamer parents, @jakebaldino.com has a important message for you!

"People using LLMs basically used less of their brains. Like, literally less of the neural networks that spark around while we think about stuff. Which, to me, sounds … efficient?" I was laughing, and then it just gets more and more depressing.
