4 years ago in the Telltale Games Alumni FB group, Michael Parsons was asking if anyone had advice for helping his 15 year old son Kane achieve his dreams of being a filmmaker. Turned out alright.

This is real btw

An indie developer is working with Jacob Geller to explain the subtleties within their new game’s narrative to media illiterate players. paletteswap.site/dif...

Some good narrative dissonance analysis.

There are games that can be expensive at 15 USD. But this one (I guess it's Fallacy Quiz) is high effort and definitely deserves this price point. We need to educate players.

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

That's kind of poetic.

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

“Why argue with an Arsenal fan when you can just wait?” We waited. We won. We are champions of England - and we are just one game away from being crowned champions of Europe. Read my piece on what Arsenal means to me here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/731...

People didn't get the post was fake / a joke, so they are getting angry at the industry, again. I don't know what is the most depressing part.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

They forgot to advertise this feature! I wish it would remove them from subscription too but i understand why it doesnt.

Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated director, game designer and photographer @liamwong.com has built a career defined by world-building. For Reset issue 1, Wong reflects on his early immersion in video game culture and its foundational impact on his taste and visual style.

"This is a kids' game, and it's layering multiple currencies atop one another to obfuscate the cost of things, as well as using pop-ups, timer bars, and "buy" buttons to offer temporary boosts and, generally speaking, remove the game's in-built friction."

Inventory management meets Bullet Heaven. You have crash-landed on a dying alien world. To survive, you must not only dodge swarms of enemies but also master the art of logistics. In this sci-fi roguelite, your backpack is your build. Meet Void Reaver.

I think young generation would call that "copium" or something like that.

reset. a new kind of video game magazine.

(Bloomberg) - A top South Korean policymaker said the nation should pay citizens a “dividend” using taxes on AI profits, underscoring growing pressure to redistribute gains .. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This looks like a neat idea for AR/VR devices!

1 billion total downloads sounds insane... how? why we dont hear more about it? what's going on there?

i hate AI slop as much as anybody but like... no AI integration was or is planned, Anthropic's money is as unclean as any corporate sponsor, and this long-term funding for development that would've benefitted everybody has now become a one-time donation. doesn't really feel like a victory to me!

jkemppainen.com/ruupeli/ I built a free web-app for parents with kids with ADHD or difficulty with executive function regulation. It has a timer and a can break repeating daily routines into easily digestible pieces with gentle weekly gamification. #neurodivergent #adhd

It totally is! You can choose to work for or build yourself a company that works entirely remotely. But if the point is you can work remotely for any company remotely, them you take away the right of everyone else to work on site with a team. Demagogic speech is not going to kill capitalism.

I believe liquidation is always mismanagement, though teams have their own responsibilities when projects don't succeed. Not responding to alerts doesn't automatically you're ignored, it could also mean there was no solution.

Yes I like it. I don't see how it's different from what Phil Spencer had been doing. The only part is that they aren't doing the weird marketing beats.

My guess is that some giant A/B tests with dodgy KPIs reached a different conclusion. I don't care for the carousel, and I don't mind it either. I am wondering what other serious options exist though.

New AI/Engine design workflow for Racetrack editor.

Pretty cool debug visualization.

For anyone who wonder what is the manifesto: www.businessinsider.com/palantir-man... Yes, it's scary. Not sure it is fascism, but there is definitely overlap. Most of the points are worth thinking about, it's not worthless, but it's clearly not the direction I wish the world to follow. Scary.

Shuhei Yoshida, former head of Sony Worldwide Studios, has remarked that he was "fired" by then-CEO Jim Ryan "because I didn’t listen to him." Yoshida suggested Ryan "asked to do some ridiculous things, and I said 'No,'" before saying he highly enjoyed his subsequent PlayStation Indies role.

Great video again. But now I need the @jacobgeller.com 's companion video about "Dinosaurs in video games".

One of the best shows in the past few years. People with vision and clear creative choices.

I dunno about y'all but I'm fairly sure we were sold out. Everybody involved needs to be held accountable for this, and the data centers need to be held not just to the same, but to higher environmental standards. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Every so often, someone you’ve worked with says something really nice about you that genuinely makes you think “I did something good, didn’t I?” Am both humbled and appreciative right now.

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

When someone starts a message with "I don't know who needs to hear this", but it's themselves + the person they are talking about to whom they are probably not saying it directly.

Always exciting to see the Avignon Papacy in the news

Well, I just burst into tears as the crew of Artemis II embraced after Canadian Jeremy Hansen requested that the unnamed lunar crater they had just discovered be named "Carroll" in honour of the late wife of Cmdr. Reid Weisman. What an incredible moment.

When people are having fun, they can make creative masterpieces. True for music videos and for @patrickhwillems.bsky.social essay videos!

When was that done.. how... By whom...It is going to get viral in US.

While I agree with the ideas of the text and the post, I feel it doesnt really resolve the question. Should we just not use LLM? Or is it another element that shows LLM is a paradigm shift and we are going to need to find new ways to handle knowledge and experience building? Interesting topic for me

Israel has explicitly warned Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Shi'ite Muslim residents as Israeli forces advance. Israeli troops will be searching the homes of Christians looking for Muslims they may hiding. Sounds familar. 😔 #IsraeliTerrorism #LebanonUnderAttack

AI-driven manipulation comes in three forms, each tested in our research: • Deepfake videos • AI-generated misinformation articles • Personality-targeted political ads We ran multiple preregistered experiments to see if warnings protect people. Spoiler: They largely don't. 2/10

The Spreepark is gonna open again for the first time in 25 years next year. I can't wait to walk that space again with my son, just like I walked it when I was his age. Most attractions are long gone, but the iconic ferris wheel got restored and modernised and already stands tall above the Spree.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

you love to see design thinkers doin' their good thinkin' out there, ten stars to Bruno as always

Kojima bluesky handle si so long it breaks the interface on mobile.

The usual airport scam: - self service shop. Still water bottle: 3.75 euros. Same price in all shops. Clear illegal price matching strategy. - card payment machine: do you want to tip for no service and insane prices? - "No" button is red, so you can feel bad.
