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.

Happy September 21st to those who celebrate

Want to play an accessible soulslike? Play these games!

I'm late to this one because I specifically wanted to avoid the ~internet drama~ surrounding it, but I asked 20 game devs what they thought about Stop Killing Games. Some of these answers were genuinely fascinating - huge thanks to all the devs who helped out! youtu.be/ZtHPFvQ1Puw?...

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

Here’s my feature on Collective Shout, and their attempts to take down Steam and itch.io. I found a conversation where they spoke about exactly how they did it, and detailed their plans going forward, which sounds… very unrelenting. youtu.be/rKD4fYc8xV4

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

My latest video is about what’s happening at Microsoft/Xbox, and why I actually think Microsoft is much more to blame than anyone at Xbox’s gaming division. youtu.be/yHfGJ53nHqc

People are responding to this with confused outrage (the ‘outrage’ part is fair fwiw), so as a reminder: lay-offs are to appease the stock market and Phil is saying this to shareholders. The company isn’t worried about making you mad because you, ultimately, don’t matter. Only shareholders do.

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

Kinda sucks that I’m not very excited for the Switch 2 because Nintendo used it to jack up the price of games. The Switch is one of my favorite machines ever. The Switch 2 is the harbinger of a shitty new normal.

AI tools do not understand what is being asked, how they respond, or the concept of "a question"; they procedurally generate strings of words in an order that's based on algorithmic likelihood. there is nothing intelligent at play here, and i need everyone to internalize this. ai cannot be trusted.

I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind what’s happening to the games industry. I was going to say “enjoy!” but it’s, uh, not great. youtu.be/9HM9nmqNioQ

Things COVID has proven: 1) The job you were told couldn’t be done remotely, can be done remotely. 2) Many disabled workers could have been working from home, but corporations just didn’t want them to. 3) Internet is a utility and not a luxury. 4) Universal healthcare is a necessity.

Bluesky is a great site but you have to unlearn EVERYTHING Twitter has ever taught you to make it useable. Repost yourself. Interact with others. Use tags. Use feeds. Be kind and find kindness. Comment away. It's really really freeing.

Já entrou no TikTok e te empurraram perfil de gororoba gerada com IA? No instagram, ontem, só recebia vídeo de baleias e afins sendo lavadas pra tirar cracas e montagens com pessoas bizarras e cortes de show de talentos. "Pode ser mentira, mas não importa" www.youtube.com/watch?v=la5W...
