Apparently, it is now acceptable to attain a new status in life, simply by proclamation. I hereby declare I am a 6' 2", 27 yr-old EGOT winner who is currently dating Taylor Swift. Thank you for your attention to our delusions.

The economist sans pitié

"While AI was cited as the reason for nearly 55,000 U.S. job cuts in the first 11 months of 2025, (...) this figure represents a mere 4.5% of total reported job losses. By comparison, job losses attributed to standard “market and economic conditions” were four times larger, totaling 245,000. "

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Had a good chat on platforms w/ Ian Hamilton from UploadVR.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Godot really is pretty good, huh? It genuinely took some time to click, but I've found my flow and am really enjoying my nightly hour or two working on a tiny side project as my upcoming release has started wrapping up.

JoltPhysics.js v1.0.0 is out: github.com/jrouwe/JoltP...

I've heard this one is good

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

I dunno who needs to hear this but using AI at your Early Concept phase, or for ideation, is literally the worst place to deploy it It isn't creative, what it does is hand back tropes. That's what the model does: sift for likely responses to an input It's like building your foundation out of memes

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do. If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time. 👉 fund.godotengine.org

Happy to share that I've been a Titanium sponsor of @godotengine.org since 2023! It's a great way to help support and fund its ongoing development ✨

Godot 4.6's tracy ↔ GDScript support will be incredible!!! using a few guides I compiled the engine, export templates, tracy, and I exported Rift Riff – tracy is showing everything in an extremely neat overview; see the video! Links to all compile guides & PRs in thread 🧵👇🏼 #godotengine #gamedev

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Working on Multimesh+ for my game, a simple multimesh editor in #GodotEngine. Add, delete, scale, and paint. MM+ is designed to facilitate the editing of multimesh instances and divide them on a grid for 3D culling. All available on GitHub :)

for real though godot is one of the few projects out there that actually democratizes gamedev instead of talking about democratizing it

i’ve seen a bit of what the funding does and it’s only made me want to donate more. the donation model of the Godot Foundation makes it an organization that prioritizes what game devs want and need, instead of what makes the foundation more money. this is rare, powerful, and inspiring. #godotengine

Otto's Basketball Game, version 1.0.0, is now done :--) The game is freeware, and you can play it on (or download it from) Itchio. ottoojala.itch.io/ottos-basket... It's a simple one-button basketball game with lots of silly details and a good kind of homemade feel to it. #godot #solodev #gamedev

We've been working on something special for you, GDLibrary: a completely free library for Godot devs Think of it as your go-to place whenever you need help: tutorials, guides, a glossary to look up terms, and open source demos and assets to use in your games! Here's a quick peek at what's coming.

As of this hour, more people came to Digital Foundry to watch a video on the Steam Machine than they did for Grand Theft Auto 6 or DLSS 4. I am not sure what that means, but it means there is a categorical great interest in the concept of the Steam Machine that can eclipse other mammoth DF topics.

Good news! Even if you couldn’t make it to #GodotFest this year, all the recorded talks are now gradually being uploaded to our YouTube channel. If you’d like to support the speakers (and us!) in reaching a wider audience, a like and sub would be awesome! youtube.com/@GodotFest

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.
