Players of the beta for upcoming Hoyo title Petit Planet have noticed there’s an AI chatbot featured and at least one barista NPC whose dialogue is generated by AI Fans of their titles are defending it saying “this is a good use of AI” and “you can’t stop AI at this point.” This is from the TOS:

I have never seen a more perfectly patterned kitty.

Your video game consoles cost more today than they did last year as a *direct result* of Trump's tarriffs. There's no debate, there's no opinion - that's the reality. Games cost more for everyone inside and outside of the US now because of Trump.

If you’re in the US, early voting has probably started in your area. So go vote when you get the chance! I know it’s an off year for mostly minor positions & local officials, but they’re still important!

Tried out SWAPMEAT's Early Access launch yesterday had a great time! It's a weird mix of Bullet Heaven progression, third-person shooting, and body horror potato-head part swapping, but it works really well. youtu.be/o3Gpc9QOCpM #ad

🚨content creators🚨 this sandbox RPG is currently blowing up on Steam! 20,000 concurrent players and climbing O_O "Fusing Terraria’s sandbox magic with Rimworld base-building and Stardew Valley farming" is how PCGamesN described Necesse details on how to get a creator code below

Also, they want to make content. And that means they are going to take the worst stuff people say in response to them (this being the internet, some of which might be quite bad) and splash it across the official comms organs of every major federal law enforcement agency. So take that into mind.

Been drawing custom Wanders again for each video I release and having a lot of fun with the designs. Nuke Pong, Druid, and Mushroomboi are definitely my favorites from this batch. Nice part is almost all of them will only take a few hours to adapt into PNGTuber models.

Got a Demo in the Next Fest? Share it below! I’ve got my week cleared out and would love to find some new gems to showcase/look forward to! If you’re launching soon after the Next Fest, send me an email so I can check out that version! Block me if you use generative AI though. I won’t cover it.

Hang in there, struggling artists

19-year-old Leilani Payne who got sprayed directly in the eyes by federal police yesterday is back out at the Ice facility tonight.

Shit is scary Go play Caravan Sandwitch It's a gorgeous game made by wonderful people and it's on sale right now if you need an affordable escape 💜 If you have played it, go give it a nice review. They got utterly reviewbombed by the right-wing chuds recently and could do with some kind words

I tried out UNYIELDER a few days ago and got my face absolutely handed to me. Its a roguelite boss rush FPS where you only get ammo if you pull off a devastating parry- which I can imagine is catnip for the hardcore crowd who can to master it. I on the other hand, am weak. youtu.be/rclNK5AA5Gc #ad

This year has had a ton of indie bangers.... But what about next year? Post your steam page/trailer/site below and show us what you're releasing in the next 12 months! Reskeeeeeeeeeets welcome!

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated! forms.gle/cG3BEkGqwuoh...

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

“AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society, and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.”

shout out to @wanderbot.bsky.social for playing CRDM1RR. he and his partner played crdm3 together and it was one of the first times i really got to see someone play long stretches of the final game, and the same is true for this one now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVYq...

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion fans rise up, the first game has officially been remastered! We're back into match-3 games industry satirizing, with a dash of slow burn yaoi? @pedalboard.games picks up where @strangescaffold.bsky.social left off with a game that fans of the original will love.

Oh since we're talking about boycotts, way too many of y'all still eat at Chik fil A and shop at Hobby Lobby, two companies whose profits are literally dedicated to killing trans people

Wow this sucks. I liked the idea of The Lift, but this absolutely kills my enthusiasm for it. I'm... glad they have AI Placeholder watermarks on the generated images, but not using Steam's disclosure section is unacceptable, as the watermarks aren't easy to see unless you're scanning every image.

🚀🚀EXCITING NEWS!!🚀🚀 After four years of development, Little Rocket Lab finally launches on October 7! Build brilliant factories and forge lifelong friendships Coming to Steam and Xbox / PC Game Pass RTs super appreciated❤️ littlerocketlab.com

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Now that I'm (almost) done putting together all of my Warhammer sets, I finally have the table space to play boardgames again and figured I'd give Dorfromantik a shot. It's so, so good- to the point where I'd comfortably argue that it's better than the original digital version.

I know other creators have been beating this dead horse for the last week or two, but YouTube's new 'Restricted Mode' is an indiscriminate menace and it bothers me to no end. Of the last 48 videos I've uploaded to my channel, 17 of them have been restricted for exceedingly unclear reasons.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

I tried out SWAPMEAT and had an absolute blast! There's nothing like hitting one enemy weakpoint and watching the entire screen explode into experience and "fresh" body parts to slap onto my meat avatar. youtu.be/6nCQIyxDttU Or give the playtest a shot yourselves: bit.ly/Wanderbot_SW... #ad

Just a heads up for YouTube folks: YT has implemented "Most Relevant" as the new default sorting method, and I can only assume it's just as terrible as all their other "AI"-powered features. Luckily you can also set default filters now, so it's probably a good idea to switch it back to Newest asap.

Massive appreciation to @wanderbot.bsky.social for playing Holder of Place last week, you helped us reach our highest peak concurrent player record for the Steam demo to date and gain a bunch of new wishlists!! ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=dijy...

Ruin a movie by making it about Gary. Pokemon: The First Gary Pokemon The Gary 2000 Pokemon 3: The Gary Pokemon 4Gary Mewtwo clones Gary Oak a bunch of times by mistake and has to deal with the numerous consequences.

Now that Silksong has chased off a ton of devs from releasing their games from the next two weeks... Who's releasing a game/demo in the next few weeks that I should check out? My schedule is looking pretty empty and I don't want my only option to be Silksong (even if it's as good as it looks).

My new demo just went up : ) store.steampowered.com/app/2105840/...

Happy release day to Sword of the Sea, the latest game from Giant Squid, with ethereal soundtrack by @awintory.bsky.social :) I once again had the privilege of recording woodwinds, including this beautiful Mayan triple harmony drone flute. It has a haunting voice that's all throughout the score 🪈

Oh man, I forgot how much Neon White's OST absolutely slaps. It's like someone distilled the essence of the Dreamcast era in music form. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8Kj...

Y'all need to stop using Duolingo. Your library probably gives you free access to Mango or other language learning programs which haven't been sloppified.

Assembling Warhammer Minis kinda rules. Now all I have to do is figure out how to paint my army of Bone IRS.

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

Messaging Guidance: Want to help Trump and fascist MAGA implement their latest policy to dehumanize disabled people? Call what they want to do “institutionalization” Want to increase opposition to this attack on basic human freedom? Call it “incarceration” (formal, professional) or “locking up”

Wow, there really are ZERO parking spots at these places. All that waste + environmental & social harm for zero local benefit. Not even jobs.
