When your crafting rock gets demolished #ffxivmemes #ffxivart

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

566 soccer players killed.

this was drawn in the early 2000s, but hasn't aged a day. the playbook of right-wing attacks on queer people, sex workers and freedom of information stayed the same.

Every single tool I've seen support the social media ban seems to, at their core, be motivated not by their feigned concern for kids but rather by spite and rage at encountering some shitposter who not only failed to respect an entitled lord fauntleroy like this, but was funnier and better informed.

im pretty far on the anti-AI and LLM end of the spectrum, but you have to constantly think critically and reassert your reasons *why* you oppose it, otherwise you end up taking positions like "it's good to manually complete tasks which could be automated and doing avoidable work is virtuous"

hi im silkie. yor palace wil be squeakyclean. iam full of flammable degreasing chemical !

it cannot be understated that The Problem In Games right now is very simple: the people who own the money are SO TERRIFIED of losing money that they refuse to actually use money to do anything. they're so conditioned by zero-interest-rate finance they can't comprehend funding anymore

A lot of the “kids online safety” proponents actually are anti-LGBTQ extremists and fundamentalists who want kids to have less freedom and don’t care if that actually makes them tremendously less safe too

We desperately need a large, mean-spirited curator page/group that tracks this shit and puts a fat red mark onto them so that its easier to avoid them at a glance

Really, desperately need people to understand there's no fucking money for indie games either

Game failure? Layoffs Game success? Layoffs Game delayed? Layoffs Game delivered? Layoffs Game announced? Layoffs Game unannounced? Layoffs Game good? Layoffs Game bad? Layoffs Game AI? Layoffs Game no-AI? Layoffs Game hated? Layoffs Game beloved? Layoffs Money cares more for layoffs than games.

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

A reminder with #SteamNextFest starting: You SHOULD install the extensions that pop up the AI Disclosure in Steam and ignore any game with it.

It's 8am and I don't feel like sleeping Straight up amounging Thinking about amoung pequeño

It’s devastating to think that indie is the future. No unions, no living wages, no decent working conditions… It’s better for the audience, sure, but no one seems to be thinking about the workers.

it's basically the number one rule to any medium ; you can't just tunnel-vision and pigeon hold yourself into a corner. that niche may feel comfortable but it's stifling and prevents you from seeing "the bigger picture" in any sort of artistic/cultural context

gettings recommendations from a person who's played 20 indie games: you absolutely must play outer wilds, don't look anything up first, trust me on this one gettings recommendations from a person who's played 500 indie games:

i fear this may be my new favorite video ever

Imagine this.. i raffle another winner.. yes or yes?

In its sights

"We only used AI for placeholder assets!" Motherfucker, just put in an MS Paint drawing of two stick figures bonking as your placeholder! It's way less embarrassing and if they're found IN the final game, it'd be way funnier!

did you know that testosterone is $60-$120 per month? did you know that it's a controlled substance so you have to jump through even more hoops to get it? you can't DIY transitioning like with estrogen. it is harder to get testosterone when care is limited did you know that?

RPG MAKER WEB FORUM will be shutting down on December 11, 2026 as it will be replaced by a new forum RPG MAKER GUILD which will be operated by Gotcha Gotcha Games. There will be no archive or backup of the forum so original operators KOMODO recommend users to save content before the closure.

So if you or anyone you know has ever used RPGMaker and has relied on the forums for information and tutorials, know that they are going to be closing and *deleting* those forums at the end of this year. No plans to officially archive literally decades of info forums.rpgmakerweb.com/forums/impor...

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Happy pride month from SSC #lancer #ttrpg #lancermeme #pride #lgbtq

90% of AAA game is either disappointing, too expensive or morally compromised meanwhile there’s like five hundred beautiful indie games out there every day that are like ‘what if we kept making quake but with a half life gravity gun’ or ‘what if there was a new Power Stone but for homosexuals’

Take your money out of banks and use credit unions instead. Check what your credit union invests in so you know (you get to choose and vote on what your money is used for)

I’m really liking how many POC there are in this Fortunes weave. The past FE games, none of them had more than like maybe five at a time Now we have three POC taking the centre stage. It’s great.

didnt watch the direct i went outside and watched the sun rise and took in the beauty of our real world i felt the wind in my moustache and heard the birds chirping and then i put the birds in robots and made them throw rocks at knuckles

If you see this and you are in a position to hire me to write your video game for a living wage you should really do that. Things are dire. I haven't gotten a paycheck for 8 months. I am really good at my job. I know this will apply to approximately zero of the 53,100 of you, but.

Happy Pride to queer authors.

Did you know this account's first ever post was about Pikuniku? You can imagine my excitement seeing the announcement of Pikuniku 2 in today's Nintendo Direct!

Sorry to keep you waiting! DELTARUNE Chapter 5 will be released on June 24th at 11:00AM EDT. Here's the trailer if you missed it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5y2...

Reminder for all TTRPG creators: DriveThru and itch suck, and while RPG Trader is a great initiative, you should ALWAYS have your own thing and redirect people to YOUR space first. Platforms come and go; try to own as much as you can. Buy a domain (~10$/y), and host a free Fourthwall store or else.

that KH Switch collection pack thing sure has some interesting cover art interesting choice to give Donald a mismatched number of fingers on each hand, and a beak that absorbs into itself

they gotta kill me man

We (a team of 2-ish) started this game about 2 years ago. Made the pitch demo in 3 months & then took the next few months off while I pitched it. Since Jan 2025 we've been nonstop, & now it's out tomorrow!

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...
