I keep seeing Chedd's messages being like "people are upset because we didn't disclose" no you straight up had your staff members flat out lying. Not even dodging the question. "It is not" was the response I got (after it was initially dodged). Programming is creative work.

PROGRAMMING IS CREATIVE WORK

A reminder with #SteamNextFest starting: You SHOULD install the extensions that pop up the AI Disclosure in Steam and ignore any game with it.

Wtf was "politically incorrect" about the office? Any time an idiot says this kinda thing though I just want to throw south park at them. That still exists. Or even new crap like Big Mouth, Solar Opposites or Krapopolis.

... Comments exist for code. Comment your code. Just... Just explain it right there in the code?????? This guy just keeps digging the hole deeper and deeper

"Devs will use Claude to edit dozens of config files instead of painstakingly editing each file by hand" Yes, editing individual files is painstakingly boring, tedious, and just not fun. But you know what that does? Ensures that everything is CORRECT It keeps people EMPLOYED and teams FULL (1/7)

I saw someone mention it but the devs try to defend it as them not wanting their people to spend hours doing all the changes themselves, but to quote the post I saw "if your only options are Gen AI and Crunch, it's a failure of management"

Relevant: we make free narrative tools for multiple engines, and we don't use any genAI whatsoever--not for coding, not for writing, not for anything. When it comes to middleware that people build their art + livelihoods upon, quality (and labour solidarity) matters. yarnspinner.dev/blog/why-we-...

So I got straight up fucking lied to then. I knew something was off Asked in a ticket as I've been kicked out of communities before for just straight up asking in a public chat

I had no idea men played soccer, too! Good for them! Go boy soccer!! ⚽️

Got a blueberry matcha from Pret a Manger this morning cause I felt like shit and needed some caffeine + something fun and I walk past one It was literally like one of the worst *drinks* I've ever had. The matcha shot was incredibly bitter and clumpy??? That shit has never seen a whisk in its life

idk man www.ign.com/articles/str...

We have ways of "checking whether something fits" that have worked for decades -concept art, placeholders, grayboxing, etc.- and those ways employ creative people instead of burn down forests while enriching a fascist Epstein class. This is not "for the fans" and no spin will make anyone believe it.

Video games were perfectly fine before deepfakes / digital replicas / whatever, eat my ass.

Sorry but hate presenting this as “ooh this is the scary future under reform” like this isn’t the Scary Present under Labour. This is not Reform’s Britain, this is Labour’s Britain. Its here its now and laying responsibility explicitly outside of the Actual Current Gov is a major mistake

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

MOTHERFUCKER

im about to print this and frame it

ai disclaimers nowadays all read like this

So Starbucks in South Korea ran a set of ads for a 'tank' coffee thermos and used words that seemed to disrespect the protests which has led to a boycott, CEOs stepping down, public apologies, and now, arrests. Buried in the article below is the reason: AI www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

I feel like I’ve shouted about this game at least once, but I HIGHLY highly recommend El Paso, Elsewhere. It’s on sale on steam for $10 and was one of the most fun Max Payne style games with one of the sickest video game tracks of all time. So excited for a sequel 🥲

Story-Rich Megabundle is $25.95 on Steam (10 games) buff.ly/TcYRyJm -Crow Country -Venba -Thank Goodness You're Here! -Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping -No, I'm not a Human -Underground Blossom -Yuppie Psycho: Executive Edition -Pine: A Story of Loss -Great God Grove -Times and Galaxy

📣 That's a wrap on the inaugural Story-Rich Showcase! Thank you to everyone who tuned in to see the amazing line-up of narrative indie games. Your support means the world to us ❤️ If you missed the showcase, we've pulled some of the top announcements in this handy thread ⬇️

The best adaptation tbh

The Mermaid Mask - our new mystery detective adventure game (and the follow-up to 2019's Tangle Tower) launches July 16 for PC, PS5, Switch and Switch 2

I thought the Green Games Showcase was meant to be for games that are, well, green focused. Why's there a game that used genAI there lmao

Think the negative reaction to Tupac in RGG’s new game is very valid and good but also feels worth pointing out there are actually TWO deceased people in that game. They announced Bunta Sugawara was in it weeks ago. Kotaku had a pretty solid article but it went mostly unchecked by press so lol.

The Story-Rich Showcase premieres TOMORROW 📚 Watch our first-ever showcase, featuring outstanding narrative-driven games from some of the best developers across the world 🌎 Tune in tomorrow at 10AM Pacific! 🔴 youtu.be/dRVeYxwjuiI?... 🟣 twitch.tv/fellowtravellergames ⚫ bit.ly/FellowTravel...

yeah it defaults to gog galaxy a lot of the time. You get the OPTION for the offline installer, but it is no longer the "default" distribution. Galaxy is notoriously bad, as far as clients go really. And it is going to get worse, they are making a linux client! Yay! It is gonna have vibe code boo

IT WAS NOTICED BEFORE DISTRIBUTION AND SO IT WASN'T SENT TO GERMAN CUSTOMERS BUT IT WAS FINE TO CONTINUE TO SEND IT TO EVERYONE ELSE?? Y'all please stop using GOG. The transphobia, now this. It's not worth it

Very funny looking at the steam forum for Guild Wars 3. So many right wingers asking if it'll be woke, that the trailer looked like it had DEI red flags.... So painfully obvious none of them have ever even heard of the series before lmao anet give me more lesbian weddings pls thank you

There's something awakening beneath the ice... The Penguin Colony demo is out now on Steam! Pick it up to descend into Antarctic cosmic horror, and don’t miss the Story-Rich Showcase and Frosty Games Fest for brand new info from developer @veselekov.bsky.social. 🐧 Demo: bit.ly/PenguinColonySteam

Saw a post where someone was excited about how many books they had read so far this year, and people were dunking all over them because it was a low number by their standards. Just, ew. Don't be like this. Who cares if you've read 150 books or 1. Read what you want when you want. Just read! 📚💙

It's surreal that launch day is here! It's so wild to see OUR GAME live on Xbox!!! To every single person who has helped and supported this game over the many years of development, we cannot thank you enough. Itchio: silverscriptgames.itch.io/the-quiet-th... Xbox: www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

'Backrooms' director Kane Parsons isn't a fan of generative AI "If I could snap my fingers and make generative AI disappear forever, I probably would" "Creatively, I get no enjoyment from using those tools. It defeats the purpose entirely for me"

Hello #gamedev! If you're headed to Develop:Brighton next month and love ARGs (alternate reality games, not Pokémon GO), hit me up in DMs as I might need a couple of people to help me out with something 👀

this game is AI slop. I don't care if they replaced everything, they still used it, still forced their employees to clean it up, and if someone steals once you can't really trust them not to again studios need to understand that AI usage is toxic and our behavior is the only power we have

So basically they AI generate most of the assets then make their teams clean up the mess
