A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

Narciso's theme is flamenco, 15/10

Los que cubrimos el genocidio de Ruanda no nos centramos en la definición legal de aquel suceso. Viendo las barbaridades que cometió el régimen sabías que aquello era inaceptable. Todos los líderes hutus que entrevisté terminaron en la cárcel. El momento de Israel también llegará

Kind of refreshing seeing this in a "two white guys-development" kind of podcast

Everything reminds me of ✨her✨

ORGULLO de país 🇵🇸

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne: hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o... Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

Todes hemos oído a Chuso en nuestra cabeza cuando han anunciado la nueva peli de Mario, verdad?

Things Indies can learn from Silksong:

Sherma from the hit game Silksong 🎵

The last phase of THAT boss in Silksong is Sif levels of heartbreaking 😔

Hollow Knight: Silksong sprite sheet - via the Australian Centre for the Moving Image's "Game Worlds" exhibition, running between September 18th and February 8th. www.acmi.net.au/whats-on/gam...

The old era 🏴‍☠️

¡La gente no para de decir "Hollow Knight: Silksong esto, Hollow Knight: Silksong aquello"! ¡No oigo a nadie decir "Jericó esto, Jericó aquello"!

They knew this would happen. We all knew this would happen. They could just open a preorder window and avoid all this mess, but they had to play the "hehe we smol indie studio" card I guess 🙃

One of the recurring conversations I had with studios at Gamescom is when they tried it, generative AI was often a terrible fit for real production workflows. Iterating on assets was time consuming, getting the right prompts to address basic details a chore, and wasn't worth changing approach for.

Pretty much on-point. About Silksong's price, from one of the upcoming indies' ( Unbeatable from @dcellgames.com‬) creator.

Alanah waited to release the video for the same reason I asked her not to reveal my employer nor social media. Thankfully, waters seem to be calmer now, so I think I can share that I am one of those game devs she asked. This video is excellent and I feel honoured to be among those names.

He pasado esto a limpio xD #Silksong

excuse you, this is an adult male crocodile onesie! 😤🐊 #mgsdelta

Silk Song is coming！

I have two specific memories: Arachnophobia for MsDOS, when the mother spider appeared and started to jump around, and the ending of Monkey Island 2 with LeChuck going full Nemesis mode

Every “free” file converter online = your files sent to some random server. So I made my own. Runs locally as an app on Mac, Windows and Linux. Now 1,100 users use it for 3,742 types of conversions.

The idea that 'AI can speed up dev cycles' would require a premise that dev cycles are long because people are taking forever to make assets (so you could replace them with shoddy slop and it'd go faster), which you could only believe is true if you've never actually tried to make a video game

Perdón.

Se vienen pegatinas de ships 🤙

This, this and this again. It hasn't been about higher graphical fidelity for a while now, but about reducing development time, which is right now one of the biggest issues in the industry, for all actors (consumers included). And Raytracing is incredibly helpful in that regard.

This game not only looks crazy good, but also plays crazy good! If you happen to pass by it in any fair or game exhibition, try it out and thank me later.

Retuit to scare a producer

For the people in Gamescom. You don't have to wait huge queues for playing MGS Delta or Onimusha in their official stands. The Xbox area in hall 7 have them in an almost hidden corner with barely 20 mins of waiting

Sam Altman: I see humans achieving omnipotence using dark matter by… 2030 maybe? That’s if OpenAI is given a quadrillion dollars Theo Von: Yeah Altman: Or, we may become a race of slaves, genetically modified to be harvested by robot spiders. That’s if OpenAI doesn’t get the money Von: Right

Nobody is forcing Hideo Kojima and a host of games industry luminaries to attend a Saudi sportswashing conference. And yet! aftermath.site/esports-worl...

In case you want to avoid triggering a Google AI Overview prompt every time you search something in google from your browser's address bar.

Arc System Works have collated all their presentations (in Japanese) on achieving their unique character style including skinning, rigging and rendering on this central “Academy” page.

Okay, big breath... After more than two years since we published our last documentary on the topic, it's time we returned to Disco Elysium: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZEA...

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Even Wikipedia isn't safe from being flooded with AI slop! I hate this timeline😠

The final statement by Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, written months ago in anticipation of his likely death, posted on Twitter/X by a friend. Israel assassinated him tonight along with his reporting team in an airstrike in Gaza.

Tengo una carpeta llena de failsubs que coleccioné allá por 2006, que cada cierto tiempo desempolvo y nos echamos unas risas con mis amigos. Hoy me han propuesto hacer un hilo con ellas, así que... Aquí se viene: 🧵💩 HILO DE FAILSUBS VIEJUNOS 💩🧵

It would be a boring weekend without a new blog post about game optimization: haukethiessen.com/introducing-... This time, it's about the genesis of a tool that I wrote a while ago to identify overly large textures. #gamedev

This. There are 1000 better ways to prove that ChatGPT is untrustworthy other than asking things it was never meant to respond correctly in the first place. I understand it might be fun, but this is not how we win this battle. ChatGPT active users do not care that it doesn't know spelling or maths.

Os enseño a separar la obra del autor: en el caso de J.K. Rowling, la obra va al contenedor de papel; la autora, al de residuos tóxicos.

Interesting data from the latest Game Dev Collective survey: A lot has changed in a year. Folks now think genAI will reduce quality, rather than have no impact, and they think it will increase quality even less. "Developers are more than four times as likely to anticipate a negative impact."
