Tfw I keep missing #buyastrangerabook day 🥲 One day I'll get a copy of Dungeon Crawler Carl lol If only they'd publish damn paperbacks of it again

Been seeing more and more streamers/YouTubers with facecam have like... Tracking? So the camera keeps their face in the center.. or tries to. I won't lie. I don't get motion sick but this is coming close, it gives me such headaches and makes me feel awful. It's such a bad effect for 0 benefit

The embargo for the Forza Horizon 6 preview drops today. Please consider standing in solidarity with @nogamesforgenocide.com and not signalling to Xbox (and largely Microsoft) that they can count on your money. There's no right/wrong way to protest, but you can pledge your support 🎮

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

Stop helping minimise trump's words as "just a distraction" from whatever. This is him, this is not a distraction

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

I don’t mean to be dramatic but this motherfucker needs to be gone gone and anyone who worked for him, enabled him, supported him, or voted for him needs to be in prison at best

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

If the world knows that the President of the United States is about to commit war crimes by bombing the infrastructure of another country, isn’t it imperative that he be prevented from doing so rather than simply watch it happen

Lead by a child of immigrants. I wonder what his parents think of him.

bluesky employees: we are vibe coding the entire website using only AI now yeah dude, i can tell

It might kill UE5, but is that such a bad thing?

NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT: Non and Akari Akari isn’t wild about moving into an eerie old house…until she meets Non-chan, a cursed doll! And what’s this? Non-chan says she wants them to be together forever?!

Not sure I have any faith in gamedev nonprofits now. Multiple times a lot of the larger ones are showing their true faces with abuse and severe power mismanagement I get the industry is hard, and funding is sparse, but that doesn't excuse being abusive towards others and fostering a bad environment

🚨 Christina Koch has officially become the farthest any woman has ever traveled from Earth

Gamers. Please have better standards and stop being used and abused by execs

👏 get 👏 🤛their🤛 🔥 asses 🔥 (but also, stop begging live service studios for faster/different updates as well)

With everything pink news has been doing, I think I trust BBC news more with trans topics - and that's saying something

LOOK WHO'S RISEN FROM THE GRAVE futurism.com/science-ener...

Sorry, but if you think that Ms. Rachel is bad in any way, shape, or form, no one on the planet should listen to your opinion on anything else.

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

Yeah that’s cool

TIL there's a tweetdeck alternative for bsky *and* they seem actually anti-AI too. Hell yeah I miss (non-elon) tweetdeck a ton ( @deck.blue )

final addition to this thread: again, generative AI is a fascist technology made by fascists for their fascist needs they only want to enslave you mentally (by making you dependant) and financially (so you'll always give money to them), there's no "but it's a good thing!" side to it, unfortunately

Actually really enjoying making a port on switch, it's unlike any dev work I've done before and working in a codebase that isnt my own is so much more challenging but I really just see it as a puzzle to untangle 😅 Really learning why unity is so hated though. Why is so much missing/broken? #gamedev

hello it's me *insert video game* and today we're announcing our very funny dating sim isn't that funny isnt that a good april fool haha

Absolutely fucking not

pretty cool that they're trying to launder ai-generated code as cool and acceptable

I normally love silly creative April fools jokes, but considering the first one I've seen is a fake genAI joke I suddenly realised I just do not have the capacity for more bullshit rn

Given the current state of the games industry I'm not sure I have the appetite for any April Fools shenanigans.

So what happened to not turning into the next Twitter? You sure were hellbent on dunking on X for their crappy AI features 5 months ago. Please explain.

They're never placeholders, it's an excuse and it's an excuse that's working

for decades as a gamer I don't think I ever saw a placeholder texture in a live game and suddenly in the space of two years there are a dozen cases of OH THAT AI WAS JUST MEANT TO BE A PLACEHOLDER

harpercollins said, "actually we did not learn any lessons, we don''t regret this monster world we've helped usher in and we hope to usher in worse times 🥰"

Period

"Video generator was losing ~$1M per day" "Disney is now in talks with over a dozen companies to implement AI"

I'm proud to announce that I've partnered with @heartofdaggers.bsky.social who has given my TTRPG AI Alternatives resource guide an EXTREME MAKEOVER! Introducing ttrpgresources.com! Find free art and GM tools and connect with real artists! #TTRPG #TTRPGcommunity #dnd #pathfinder #daggerheart

I was talking to someone today who had literally no idea JK Rowling was a bigot. They're never online, they saw the movies and liked them, and planned on watching the show. I told them about Rowling's behavior and they're disgusted; but they sincerely had never heard it before. I'm saying this bc

Mind you bluesky was shading X on X about adding AI tools 5 months ago

The bluesky address is @attie.ai and it really needs to be in the top five accounts blocked on this platform. This is honestly some of the most tonedeaf shit I’ve seen from BS and thats saying something

small PSA: we have not and will never use gen AI 😌🚫 not even for our silly photoshop edits.

the thing is, people could easily just watch the fucking shitty wizard show and keep their mouth shut abt it. but they want to not only do whatever they want, they want to tell people about it and argue about how they're still a good person. they want everyone else to assuage their guilt for them

Absolutely fascinating article

CaptionsRush is a new live caption app by a hard-of-hearing developer. The captions are customizable, and can use local or cloud based Speech-To-Text transcription. You can use it for voice chat with a Discord bot, or transcribe any other system sounds. caniplaythat.com/2026/03/26/i...

This is back open; if you're part of a (massive) layoff in the game industry you can request a product of mine for free. It's not much, but it might help you in your journey ahead. 🫂 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

hearing someone say they regularly talk to ai chatbots for anything does feel like they just rolled up their sleeve to reveal a festering zombie bite

Reminder that Epic's last mass layoff was to ensure the business was sustainable, so no further layoffs would be necessary. www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/n...
