Many fall in the face of chaos, but not this one. Not today. #pcgamer #pcgaming #darkestdungeon

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

It remains very weird to me that in a world of actually useful technology -- photovoltaic power generation, mRNA vaccines, maglev trains, smart phones, etc -- the tech sector has gone so all-in on bullshit generators and plagiarism machines.

Pearl of wisdom thread: Drop one bit of wisdom that has truely helped you. No negative or dismissing jokes here, no deep discussions, nothing longer than a single reply per pearl of wisdom. Give us all one bit of wisdom that could help someone out.

This many people were found to be playing Forbidden Solitaire recently. Just sayin'

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Ark VCS (think like an indie contender for the Perforce crown) just hit 1.0, and by the end of this video I was hooting and hollering Yeah I doubt I'll use this on current Unreal project cus (Unreal has tight links to Perforce) but next project? Oh hot damn mebs yes www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSnI...

LOOOOOOK I made a game in s&box, it took about an afternoon including creating the assets 🛩️ If you know Unity, you know this - simple as that. (I'll complete this and get it up to a playable state soon)

Take-Two Interactive has reportedly eliminated its entire AI team as part of restructuring www.gamesindustry.biz/take-two-int...

Pretty persistently frustrating that enviro opposition to data centres get clumsily dismissed as "NIMBY" when, as you can see here, it's well-evidenced and packed to the brim with real-world examples of material harm. And GP goes further than most in pointing out the end-goals of the system:

“As fuel prices rise, the economics become harder to ignore. Payback periods shorten, accelerating decisions already under way. This is where pressure builds on legacy carmakers.”

Linux continues its rise on Steam, reaching for the first time a record 5% share in Valve’s March 2026 Hardware and Software Survey. linuxiac.com/linux-make-h... #Linux #Gaming

Finnish citizens are petitioning for digital independence, which I feel is terribly important as a counterweight against corporatocracy and a shield against tumultuous international politics, and plain better security of services (data moving internally has less chances for midway interception).

Quite frankly to the extent that coding agents "work", which is in itself uncertain and debatable, I think "more software, faster, with less thought put into it" is *itself* a negative externality

Do not buy cloud games. Cloud gaming is neat when it’s included with a subscription service like Xbox Game Pass. But if you’re paying for a cloud version of a game, you’re effectively spending a lot of money to rent it, and that money is gone the second servers are shut down.

DEAR BLUESKY: WE DON'T WANT ATTIE, WE WANT AN EDIT BUTTON WE DON'T WANT ATTIE - WE REVILE AI & "VIBE-CODING" AND REALIZE ALL "AI" / LLM TECH IS BUILT ON THEFT AND DEPLETES RESOURCES WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DISCOVER THINGS HERE ORGANICALLY WITH *HUMAN,* NOT MACHINE-ASSISTED LLM INTERACTIONS

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

If you don't want GitHub Copilot trained on your code, you've been automatically opted in. You have until April 24th to opt out.

One shipment builds the system. The rest just keep it alive. Solar arrives once → generates for decades Fossil fuels → ship, burn, repeat forever #Bettrification breaks the cycle of scarcity—unlocking abundance. This isn’t fuel vs fuel. It’s infrastructure vs dependency.

Yes, good, more of this please.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

This is the way

No really, I am not kidding when I say that the data broker industry must be destroyed: www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...

god its going to be so funny when everyones ai integrations stop working like haha lol

Your options for placeholders: - Make them yourself (difficult, takes time) - Slop (monthly sub, kills the planet, enriches oligarchs, bad assets, everyone hates you and they're right) - Incredibly made game assets by @kenney.nl ($19.95, one-time, supports give-aways to those who can't afford it)

"Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence. The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society." -Joni Askola

Lol, the kids are alright

When you want to get rid of pixelated jaggies and are changing game settings to enable antialiasing, please check that you don't enable options that hallucinate frames or activate yassified looksmaxxxing AI-slop incel-filters over your game image.

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

BREAKING: A Delaware judge has ruled that Krafton must *reinstate* Ted Gill, the fired CEO of Subnautica 2 maker Unknown Worlds. In the ruling, the judge accuses Krafton's CEO of using ChatGPT to come up with a strategy to get out of paying Unknown Worlds a $250 million bonus. Story coming shortly

First of all, I know - the real battle is the law, this "age verification" crap is coming everywhere. www.badinternetbills.com But that just means I'm really assessing where I need to put up with this shit. And I do not need Discord - most VO work (even my indie stuff) operates via email.

Japanese government makes indie game developers eligible for grants of up to $60,000 USD, covering production costs and promotion automaton-media.com/en/news/japa...

Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail." People in my mentions: "Lmao are you REALLY a luddite? smh"

Make sure your loved ones aren't operating on out of date priors about intermittent renewables: tell them batteries are now an economical supplement generating full time dispatchable power from them. "How falling battery costs are igniting race for round-the-clock solar power"

Make it stick.

What if we simply make selling data illegal

We thank @aoc.bsky.social for speaking the truth about age verification in the House E&C hearing today! As she stated plainly, and we agree, age verification is a smoke-screen for censorship. It is NOT about kids safety!

If you're a developer ignoring your long-term goals just to shoehorn AI into your product don't forget to add this button for the majority of us. Thanks! 🙇‍♂️

Do not resubscribe to nitro. Don’t until they permanently shelve global ai plans. We cannot let them believe we’ll be complacent for even a moment
