I’m on the jury for a different game awards event, and I really have to echo this. We have like, 30-50 jurors for the event, and some of the devs/pubs gave the organizers 5 keys for us to… share? No matter how cool a game looks, if we don’t have access to it then we cannot vote for it.

blog post boiling within me titled "indie publishers, you need to get your shit together" based on this year of indie pubs submitting games to IGF w/ a demo and then when asked for a dev build so anyone can actually judge it, either ghost or go "we will provide you with a build on the release date"

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
