I love this because it's potentially The Answer. Games are struggling because we're in a hit-driven market. Make a hit and Steam will push it. Make a hit and media will cover it. That's great... if you have a hit. But how does everyone else survive? @falconeerdev.bsky.social has found a way.

It's all "AI is the future" and "you can't get the genie back in the bottle" until the public don't like it and then it's "nooo this was handmade by real humans, it has a heart" and you try to fabricate a process that was never there. My dudes, if AI was so great you wouldn't need to lie about it.

Mamdani is going to implement shaymin law, everyone in the city will require a letter from Professor Oak to participate

Yeah :D

I cut the endings down a bit, its sort of 8 now? some of them are like, just option A/B down the same path kinda thing. I'm trying to make this as simple as possible but I still put like 5 characters in there fuck it

This sounds absolutely vile

' I only need like 3 endings' Chat I have 17 endings

Ok but why does it look like the cat is being offered a dooby hit

THIS

I have made too many branches so am now doing the 'Egg Fried Rice' thing of the endings being a whole ass paragraph fuck it

Label Size??

AI bubble this, crypto bubble that. The only bubble I wanna talk about is this:

Having too much fun making virtual post its of ' what if Ted the Caver was as useless as the guy from Baby Steps '

I filled out a bunch of post-its while I waited for my food to cook, but I dont have a big whiteboard in my office and theres not really any space to hang one, so I guess I now have to digitise these fuckers

Sad to inform that I have horrifically abused my child by accidentally getting water drops on his head

Oh I think he doesn't like the fake plant is in his peeking spot

What a boi

He keeps popping his head out to look at me and sniff, my guy you got 3 foods yesterday don't tell me you want more food

Oh I spoke too soon, there he is haha

Graphic design is my passion

I can tell I thoroughly stuffed my snake with food yesterday because he hasn't poked his head out to stare at me and beg for food once since I got in and veg'd out on the sofa a bit

Begging my leg muscles to stop hurting I literally was blinded by the low sun earlier that's plenty vit D stop SAD-ding you fucks

*whispers* It is a faithful adaptation of an early 1800s novel by a woman about an arrogant self centered man Why are people

A good argument for socialism is $1 trillion can’t buy you happiness

Oh sweetie, perhaps we have more realization than you have creativity

Happy to say that next week I officially start the SGDA accelerator program for starting a new studio! So, you know, no announcements just yet.... But read between the lines and follow me here if you're a composer, 2D artist, voice actor or narrative-type person!

again I ask, what is the upside of this technology

This is how you can tell kids are using computers too much: not a single cute notebook option They have had these ugly pastel colour options for *years*

Gonna go check out the new book shop in town via walking past the 3 for £1 books charity shop because I crave pain I guess. There hasn't been a bookshop in this town for literal decades, not counting WHSmith which was always like...a mix of magazines, office supplies, physical media and some books

women can do anything

Dungeness & Dragons

I feel like my brain freezes up when it comes to plot based storytelling the same way how people who can't draw do when they're asked to sketch. Like at some point we all drew pictures but there's a point where a lot of people drop off because they think they have to be good

Of course my short story woes is also a very, I have a million short story compilations around me I can just pick one of those and adapt it instead of starting from scratch, but I like learning skills 🥲

Never Forget.

I'm fuckin, desperate to go put my head on a pillow, but I'm curious if theres any like...fast structure for storytelling tools out there? Not AI, fuck AI. I mean more like, if I want to tell a 15 min story with 3 endings how do I approach that from a writing/narrative POV.

you may not like it, but this is peak computer

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

I cant believe I've been convinced to start a new UE5 project to practice something for my bowling project which was supposed to be quick game jam practice for another project.

Tech bros have re-invented men in white vans with free candy/puppies by installing a computer in your car that will prey on your children as you drive, cool cool

when will a frankenstein movie be brave enough to let us see the doctor choosing the dick

Annoyingly my legs being sore was fixed by going on a walk ( on my treadmill, not outside, its too dark/late ) so wtf is even logic anymore

hello game dev community, i am looking to interview a few people who have been in the industry for 5+ years and are comfortable in the role they chose for themself in their career. i want to hear from everyone, producers, engineers, narrative, community managers, etc. !!!

please stop correlating it with mental health disorders. these people are ruling the world. it isn't a disorder for them. it's rewarded. and claiming their lack of humanity--again, by CHOICE--is in any way associated with my experience of fear and poverty and pain and lack of choice offends me

I think evil people are prone to gathering untild wealth because nobody else has any interest in hurting other people for something they don't and will never need
