I'm not sure what the plan was trying to pass this off as anything other than a slop filter when everyone with eyes could tell that's what it was, and Devs were going to blow the doors off it the instant they got a handle on it.

I know it's a nightmare time to make a living making videogames right now... but there have been so many weirdly beautiful and beautifully weird things released recently, and it has done so much good for my wellbeing. I'll keep shining a spotlight on everything cool. I hope y'all keep making it.

It is wild to watch the collective societal cognitive decline in just 3 years of GenAI use alone. It’s genuinely frightening seeing the general level of discourse decline because ppl don’t regularly work cognitive muscles anymore and just offload it to AI because they’re understandably exhausted.

i feel like everyone should understand this by now but apparently some people don't, so: literally none of those "AI detector" things work. for writing, for code, for images-- none of em. they do not work. they're as useful as flipping a coin. don't use them and for fuck's sake, DON'T pay for them

Hey, if youre like me, i know that it's hard to keep track of everything you need to call your reps about right now this isnt exhaustive but here's a script with a check list of issues that demand attention right now. I'll likely be add more later CALL YOUR REPS www.congress.gov/members/find...

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

Trans folks desperately trying to warn everyone that the so-called gender critical movement was coming for reproductive rights for years, I'd been detailing links between them and US anti-abortion groups only for it to be ignored and it burned me out, but look, it's exactly what we all warned about:

the thing about “SOME games are art, but most are frivolities that don’t deserve and can’t stand up to serious analysis” is that that’s how people used to talk about like. novels. when there started being novels

when Beastie Boys signed with Capitol, they were offered a big advance, which they turned down in favor of owning their masters - now, years later, they're still making money off those records - always bet on yourself, not a corporation

Let's get this show on the road.

I saw one headass YT comment like, “You luddites don’t get it. Eventually we can have simple models and project lifelike faces on them” THAT’S HOW SHADERS AND NORMAL MAPS ALREADY WORK! IT’S SIMPLE NON-GENAI TECH! THE SIREN SERIES ACTUALLY USED IRL FACES ONTO FLAT SIMPLE MODELS FOR UNCANNY HORROR!

ICE has been hacked! And you can explore the data, which includes every DHS contract, in this convenient new tool micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts

I was asked to talk about DLSS5, but then I got angry about DLSS5, and so that's what in this @kotaku.com article. kotaku.com/we-spoke-to-...

stand up to them and they'll say you are deviant homosexual marxists trying to poison society. comply in advance & throw yourself at their feet, and they'll still say you are deviant homosexual marxists trying to poison society, because they need you to be that

they'll be convenient enemies regardless of what they do, that's playing out in the states right now. you can bend over backwards to appease fascists and it will never work, because their whole ideology is irrational and premised on the idea of purging enemies. they need enemies to function

no sorry, we are NOT doing silent hill revisionism the real actual reason behind this "thoughtful change" was bc Christophe Gans thought that a man caring for his daughter to the point of risking his life was too gay and unrealistic so he ended up creating the mom as a replacement.

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

When calling your reps, bring this up to them. It's not a hypothetical, it's a real and genuine threat.

As ICE and other federal agents surged into Minnesota and terrorized our communities, residents banded together to send a powerful message: The power of the people is stronger than the people in power. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/15/o...

A new short animated horror film that I quite enjoyed. Disclaimer: I'm extremely down on "childhood property turns out to be creppy and spoopy" due to its ubiquity, but this is genuinely uneasy and doesn't pull its punches in terms of the tangible horror it presents

Heyyy everybodyyyy FUCK SUBSTACK

The game industry’s obsession with graphics is so funny because every other year there will be some breakout hit called “Stick Figure Mansion” or some shit that outsells 90% of the market and runs on a toaster

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

hearing someone say they regularly talk to ai chatbots for anything does feel like they just rolled up their sleeve to reveal a festering zombie bite

mototaxi driver today had a shirt with a maze at the back for passengers to solve

In times long past, before the Internet, we operated on a "pull" model for information, and always got annoyed by ads. We don't want to see them, but we're forced to. Being fed info without consent is now the norm. Algorithms are to blame. PLEASE disconnect often. Find safe, closed communities.

wow we are arriving at the exact situation every single person imagined within one second of seeing their first robot dog

If you’ve ever complained about shipping prices, please take that energy and direct it to your elected representatives. Tell them to fight for more funding of the postal service! If we lose the USPS it’s absolutely inevitable that shipping rates will increase with all carriers. 😤

For those not following Tumblr, they just introduced a UI change where if you commented on someone’s post you would get all the likes/reblogs instead of the author, and it was so unpopular they just had to walk it back, which is almost unprecedented for Tumblr

I mean he's the one who put out the shit-ass demo that looked like garbage, so who is truly to blame here? Did the developers waive their "artistic control" on this one? Dude is a fucking idiot.

All of these are policies they're already supposed to be following. So why would anyone believe they'll start following them in exchange for DHS funding. I mean, come on. The proper response to "We won't deport U.S. citizens if you fund DHS" is, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

DLSS5 reveal going well, then

Every time a person tells me “me too has gone too far” I scream in their face “THEY PUT A PEDOPHILE RAPIST IN THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU LEMMING”.

Every day I am reminded how much the world hates women and it enrages me

This is a WIN for science. RFK Jr’s overhaul of vaccine recommendations has been BLOCKED by a federal court. The ACIP committee cannot meet as planned this week, since its membership has been invalidated, and ALL votes made by those advisers in the last year have also been invalidated.

Weird how every journalist writing ‘balanced’ feature stories on this issue turns out to be a deranged conspiracist and ideologue the second you hear them speak off the cuff

Hearing reports that DLSS 6 is going to make every character in every game look like a naked 14-year-old girl but don't worry, it's actually turning them all into ageless demons who have existed forever but _choose_ to look like naked 14-year-old girls.

They whitewashed a white woman.

This is ableism at its most vile. A President saying someone is “dumb” for having learning disabilities. Saying a disabled person should never be allowed to be President. This is why disabled people hide. This is why they don’t disclose that they’re disabled.

Subnautica devs v. Krafton ruling is ABSOLUTELY stunning. Start at the top of page 32 and read until the end of that section on page 37. Krafton CEO was warned by their legal personnel to not follow ChatGPT into what is likely Some Of The Dumbest Legal Shit Ever, CEO believed the plagiarism bot.
