You ever have those dreams where the same thing keeps happening over and over with only slight variation and you can't escape the cycle? The complete dominance of remakes, squeals and reboots in media reminds me of them, and it really adds to the nightmarish quality of our time.

Any other artists ever enter a Dwarf Fortress style fey mood in real life, or is it just me? Like, you just suddenly get hit with inspiration and start making with little rest until you finish something of excellent quality?

Modeled a chess set. Don't look too closely though, there's some awful topology in there. #blender #b3d #3dart

Can someone in @moderation.bsky.app please clarify this for me? I have concerns about the negative impact this may have on community on the site.

Was watching a Hank Green video and stopped when he mentioned using Claude code. Guess I'm not watching him anymore. Learn to program or pay someone who does.

A lot of factors to consider here, including that this isn’t a live service game, but I think the constant doomerism from media that doesn’t even ask developers their metric of success is not particularly useful.

Crazy to learn all these years later that Halo 2 was a live service game 🙄

I need sleep now, but I'm thinking I'll have nachos for breakfast when I wake. Consequences be damned.

Is this vibe coded site breaking again, or is it just me?

It's interesting how once technology passes the point of providing a space for social interaction(like forums or dedicated game servers do.) and moves into organizing social interaction directly (like algorithmic social media and matchmaking) it just starts making people miserable.

Holy shit, Angine de Poitrine fucking rules Incredible YouTube algo pull for me tbh www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi...

ohhh we've got some stone-cold stunners, folks images.nasa.gov/details/art0... images.nasa.gov/details/art0... images.nasa.gov/details/art0... images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Think I can speak for everyone that I'm glad the worst didn't happen, but also I am mentally and physically exhausted.

I don't understand how someone can ask this question and not immediately throw up in disgust.

How many people would be alive today if SCOTUS hadn’t nullified the Fourteenth Amendment’s Disqualification Clause? How many families would be whole? How many lives would be prosperous and happy?

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

The moon is cool

Fuck these people

"but HP was important to me during a rough childhood" do you realize how many transgender people that describes, myself included? you truly cannot fathom trans people had the same experience OR WORSE, had that comfort ripped away, and now have to watch cis people cry about it? find another book.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

Hearing how pervasive AI has become in AAA and AA game dev, it's a bit sad to think I'll never play another big new game again, but I'd rather not support that shit, even if the sentiment is fruitless. The idea of playing "art" with that shit in it make me wanna throw up.

It really seems to me that a big part of the appeal of AI in game development is how it puts creative control fully in the hands of the executive class. Don't have to worry about fighting woke artists when they can just hit a button to make a character yassified and marketable.

This is the take I keep coming back to. NVIDIA is going to vomit on itself to impress shareholders and that's fine, that's what corporations do, but I'm hurt by how much Digital Foundry has lost my trust over this. It feels like the worst parts of "access journalism," it's PR disguised as reporting.

New YouTuber's are going crazy hard recently. We got one guy making an open source, sub $100 MANPADS prototype, and another guy building a whole ass class 1000 clean room in a shed for prototype chip fabrication. youtu.be/DDO2EvXyncE?...

Been continuing to digest Deathloop. Saw the GameSpot video on how the game became more tutorialized based on play testing. Hearing that there were people who did understand and like the earlier iterations really makes me sad, the excessive guidance really was the most annoying part for me.

We have two cults in the US, with overlap between them, threatening destruction of the world in two ways. Evangelicals trying to trigger Armageddon by causing mass death and destruction in the middle east, and AI bros trying to reach the singularity to create and merge with the machine god.

I'm very FPS brained I guess? my9games.com

Beat Deathloop. Was pretty good, but I think it is my least favorite of Arkane's work

Been finally playing Deathloop after having is sit in my library for years, and it's really solidifying how much I hate high polygon environments. I keep trying to jump up places and getting caught on tiny props and overhangs, resulting in me getting detected.

Very fun little exercise, hope 286 tri isn't too many polys

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

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.

Currently trapped in a cursed biphasic sleep cycle. Sleeping like 3 hours at night and 5 around noon. I would like normal sleep again please.

Surprised it's taken this long. Social media has allowed for the proletariat to build the kinds of parallel power structures that can lead to revolutions. You can see the start as far back as the occupy movement, but more so in the Arab spring, BLM, the recent Gen Z protests, and Melt ICE

I had a dream I played a game about climbing mountains and caves where it was easy to die, and it emphasized teamwork, rope work, and supply management. Kind of a more hardcore simy version of a friendslop game? Probably not something that would be popular

I think men's underwear should include a foam cup, similar to the cups on bras, to lift shape and smooth their junk. That way instead of seeing the outline of a dude's hog through his shorts, you just see a shapely bulge that's suggestive without being explicit.

If only we had, for example, wastewater data to see whether those “covid times” are indeed in the past. If only journalists could be arsed to do basic research. Alas,

if, after learning how LLMs work you seriously think they are sapient or alive in any meaningful way you either a) Aren't very bright and should keep hitting the books, b) Malicious, and shouldn't be left in charge of anything, or c) Lack qualia, and are an irl philosophical zombie

The only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

comments on the latest Bellular News really show that the average gamer has a brain made of pudding. They can't seem to stop themselves from slobbing GabeN's knob. youtu.be/uy155lqDH5g?...
