I guess it's time to bring out this absolute classic once again

8th game of 2026 beat. The Amateur Deity Society. Had the opportunity to have the creator @robertcarlson.bsky.social watch me play through it. It's a fun text based adventure, with an interesting premise, stellar writing, chuckle worthy humor, and satisfying puzzles. Definitely grab it if you can.

Dam him up!

Movements to shut down or ban data centers are amassing power and notching victories. Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content in articles. Publishers and entertainment studios are being pushed to reject AI-produced content outright. In other words: It's open season for refusing AI.

THEY TRAINED THE AI ON ACTUAL WRITERS. YOU CANNOT TELL IF SOMETHING IS AI SIMPLY BASED ON IT USING PROPER GRAMMAR. IT STOLE FROM US!!! IT STOLE!!! IT IS A THIEF AND I WILL NOT EVER BE QUIET ABOUT IT!!!!

Really excited about Artemis II, but even more excited about the future.

As a researcher the value in watching all of a UX Test, not just highlights, is that it gives you context. You see what comes before and after issues. You see the systemic influences on behaviour. Watching someone play is not busy work, it is the work. #gamedev #ux

To my bafflement, yet another person has actually earned my game's joke achievement, "It Was the Worst of Times". Y'all don't need to keep doing this! I again apologize for including it. Anyway, The Amateur Deity Society is still on sale for $3 for a few days. youtu.be/tKbMscvgAxo #SteamSpringSale

The sparse "looks nice to me" comments about DLSS 5 get at what's fundamentally insidious about AI-generated art. It's gotten good at passing at a glance to untrained eyes, while still falling apart upon closer inspection. Good art is the opposite: it rewards attention and consideration. #gamedev

Hearty thanks to the very cool and intelligent player who left a review for The Amateur Deity Society today! Each review is really a big help for small game devs.

100%, and it applies to everything in a game. If you need generative AI to make include something, just go without. VO, music, background art, character art, character models, prose, dialogue, ANYTHING. "Nothing" is in fact often better than "something," esp. when you phone it in on "something."

On the day Trump finally dies, when we're all celebrating, the poor widdle snowflakes will be furiously policing such behaviour as an intolerable outrage. So just bookmark a version of this story to reply with to every one of them. news.sky.com/story/robert...

It's in the news again, so some advice for developers: If you don't want to have to convince players you accidentally left AI-generated art in your game, DON'T USE AI-generated placeholder art. Placeholders should be glaringly obvious, not things you can miss while glancing over a scene. #gamedev

No! We cannot stand for Google using AI to modify ours and other journalists articles. They are our words. A human’s words. YOU CANNOT HAVE THEM! Share this! www.theverge.com/tech/896490/... #showyourwork

I'm so very pleased to say that Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell and his wife Collette Michaud, the former LucasArts art department manager, have agreed to be interviewed for the documentary, should it go ahead. (And if you want to help make sure it goes ahead, please sign up at scummdoc.com.)

“Look at the hands! That’s proof it’s AI!!” No it’s not, dude. Artists have been making mistakes like this for centuries. All you’re doing is harming actual artists and - most importantly - not stopping actual AI use (because the AI bros don’t care and also love the attention). Don’t do this.

Go on and sign up for this doc's mailing list. You know you're interested. And if you're not interested, you should be.

Thread: I want to go over these two shots again, indulge me in a bit of pixel peeping. I think this is an illustrative example because it sets the question of faces aside; from a purely technical lighting fidelity standpoint, DLSS 5 makes this scene worse.

To use LLM-based genAI is to choose to benefit from horrific worker abuse. Human beings have brains. Tech sociopaths want us to forget that. And they want us to forget that we - and especially the people they exploit the most - are human at all.

Someone recently earned what was hitherto the rarest achievement in The Amateur Deity Society! I have no idea who it was, but I'd love to know whether they got it by accident or if they knew about it beforehand. #interactivefiction #pointandclick

This is a preposterously good deal for anyone who wants quality music for their project but is strapped for cash. Haven't checked out the new pack yet, but the original is the real deal.

I am sorry but no. Professional Translators should not be using AI Translation software. If they are actual translators why the fuck do they need AI Translation software? This is a game I own (Cyberknights Flashpoint) that updated with this.

The slow replacement of actual websites with real content written by humans with slop optimized for advertising the skeeviest industries is deeply depressing.

Important message to everyone on the internet: I do not care what ChatGPT says. If you cite ChatGPT in an article or post, I will to stop reading and consider everything I've read to that point to be random noise, i.e. refrain from assuming it has any correlation with reality, positive or negative.
