Arc Raiders Has Started Replacing AI Voices With Human Ones Which CEO Admits Are Better

saw this on tumblr and it's literally so true woah

🚀 NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!🚀 We're absolutely over the bloody moon to be making the Children of Time RPG! Mina, Grant and Elaine have been sequestered away with author Adrian Tchaikovsky, building a new Ark to take you to the far reaches of space. But what (or who) is waiting for you out there?

The final 24 hours for the Blades '68 campaign! To celebrate, a couple of new pieces:

Immersion is not as important as buy-in.

Have been busy working on the Junk City guidebook, including making a lot of character portraits for all the most notable creatures in the city. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

I saw a conversation recently where someone wished more designers talked about what a touchstone actually means means for a project, how it transforms into the work. This is a lovely look at exactly that!

I rate every room in White Plume Mountain (X out of 5 Stars) and explain why each room does, or does not, work and how you can take these lessons into designing your own dungeons, be they of the funhouse variety or not #osr #ttrpg

Quick questions for TTRPG publishers that I’ve asked privately but it’s been a bit: 1. If a form of coverage (AP/review/other) has transformed your sales overnight, what was it? 2. If you could wave a wand & have one creator/creative/media outlet praise or play your TTRPG, what would you wish for?

they leaked the source code for godot on github

We've been working on this for quite some time (together with @geekitrealgood.bsky.social), but soon our new adventure collection for #Mausritter will finally be coming to Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/won...

The best thing I ever did as a TTRPG publisher is make lots of videos of me running our games. It’s my secret weapon.

They've got ~36 hours to make another $1,000!

One good reminder about self promotion and marketing (as much as I have a distaste for it): it's important. And don't assume your followers or subscribers have seen it and won't be excited. I just had a great interaction for the first time on something I've posted on multiple forums three times.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

There's 3 days left on the crowdfunder for this solo game about being a mutant cat in a city gone wrong. Their final stretch goal seems to be about adding an endgame level set in Hell? I think it looks pretty cool! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kor...

*GASP* Are we going to fund today???

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

cant help but cringe at people, casual users (not artists) who *went back to twitter* two years after they dropped it just bc they didnt get enough activity here. like, was a need for engagement on posts the reason you fuckin left?? and not the nazi shit?? and now youre going back?? fucking weak

27. More ttrpgs need cute sidebars where a personification of the designer pops up to explain their reasoning for a mechanic, as well as what sections it ties into.

39. There has never been and perhaps never will be a better use of the osr ethos than Mausritter. Reframing the dungeon fantasy into a world of tiny mice in the ruins of human civilization makes the playstyle SING and its fucking beautiful

Oh hey, 5 days left to back a game about kids with extraordinary powers on the run from danger in the ordinary world! Go support Extra Ordinary! #TTRPG #indieTTRPG #TTRPGcommunity www.kickstarter.com/projects/jaz...

it really just feels like there's a concerted push to get as many people's faces into that system as fast as possible by any means necessary

You know what? No. I will not stay quiet while small businesses around me decide to mass-create visuals in AI to promote their businesses. I will tell them in the comments that I dislike this. And I will let them know that I will unfollow them and cease to visit their business if they do not stop.

Reminder: under no circumstance should you give discord your ID. It is gonna -suck- trying to set up alternatives, and this whole fiasco is going to damage communities, but you CANNOT give them your info

🚨EU FANS🚨 We've made an arrangement with Sphaerenmeisters Spiele in Germany to allow you to pre-order rewards for Blades '68. You can pre-order the Limited Edition cover, map, and other physical rewards and they will fulfill it through their store. sphaerenmeisters-spiele.de?suche=blades... /1

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

not thrilled with this blog post but i wanted to write at least some version of this <3 injectorseat.wordpress.com/2026/02/16/w...

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

As I said before, I would like to see Dark Sun rehabilitated. Fixing it's first edition racism it's incredibly easy, and the setting is extraordinarily relevant: fascist tyrants that have wrecked the environment, enacted uncountable genocides, keep people uncultured and enslaved, etc.

it's so crucial for external consultants to evaluate your game before it releases (if you can afford it). the right team can catch major gameplay flaws, weak story aspects, and much more. i've worked with teams who have saved devs major PR crises. consultants do more than predict metacritic scores.

Discord lied. they’re now sending scanned IDs to persona, a third party company. “facial scans will never leave your device” -discord lmao.

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

today!!

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

I had the pleasure of chatting with Edmund McMillen (@edmundm.bsky.social), just days before the launch of his new game, about the uncomfortable silence that comes after shipping a game, the limits of being a parent, and why Mewgenics is such a personal work for him: remapradio.com/articles/edm...

Put me in that one post collection or whatever.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

this is what happens to the wishlist chart when you get good reviews

save me normal game about cats. normal easy game about healthy cats. save me

"So, you are making a game where the characters are thieves in a fantasy world? But isn't there already Blades for this?" The difference is between a heist game and a stealth game. I think (I hope?).

That‘s the spirit.

ive had a cluster of opportunities lately to Intensely Talk Design with a decent number of TTRPG designers & one really lovely general community norm that i deeeeply appreciate is the habit of wearing references on sleeves & openly tying the work being produced now to the work that influenced it

I made a filterlist for uBlock Origin to remove Generative AI features on websites. Includes blocks for * Google AI Summaries * YouTube Ask button & chat summaries * GitHub Copilot * Facebook AI chat * X's Grok buttons * Deviantart DreamUp * Booru AI images * And more github.com/Stevoisiak/S...

🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

IT'S LIVE www.kickstarter.com/projects/jaz... S C R E AM I N G
