Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Good god, I have never watched a single Pirate Software video in my life, nor any videos about the guy, and yet there is at least one video about him in EVERY SINGLE YOUTUBE RECOMMENDATIONS LIST now. Clearly farming 'lolcows' is lucrative. Also ethically fucked and you should just leave people be.

Newsletter: This is the Hater's Guide To The AI Bubble: genAI is nothing like Uber or Amazon Web Services, there are no profitable genAI companies, agents do not and cannot exist, there is no AI SaaS story, and everything rides - and dies - on selling GPUs. www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-g...

Reflecting on the "stop killing games" conversation. I think folks don't realize that the petition is bigger than what fans want . Fans want a right to repair and for volunteers to be able to tinker and reverse engineer. But the petition wants developers to alter how they make games

For some reason no one else was going to do this, so I did a journalism. I asked @panic.com About GenAI in @play.date S2 after @brandon.insertcredit.com raised that Wheelsprung used it. Here's what they said:

Regardless of how you feel about AI, I'd strongly advise you don't do this. This is going to sabotage you in the long run.

Game funding is in a drought, yes, but not because good games aren’t out there. It’s that no one with money wants to fund something that isn’t already a success in disguise. That’s not investment, or partnership- it’s financialization of art.

In recent weeks, video game publishers Take-Two and EA both warned investors about potential "reputational" risks to the use of gen-AI in games. It's a problem that all game companies will soon need to confront: Players hate genAI. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

So this was a talk about magic tricks. Things that anyone, at any scale of development, could do to make their work more special. It's also a bit of a manifesto, it's kinda funny how much of this I ended up applying to TRON: Catalyst, which we started on a couple years after I wrote this.

‘An overwhelmingly negative and demoralizing force’: what it’s like working for a company that’s forcing AI on its developers aftermath.site/ai-video-game-...

galera trata desenhar como se fosse um superpoder. isso é sua frustração falando. quando você tinha 6 anos, você gostava de desenhar. eu também. mas você parou de desenhar. e eu não. essa é a única diferença entre nós. e você pode voltar a desenhar. vem comigo. o lápis e o papel estão te esperando.

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base! and they want to do it ... ... in *a few months* I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ... ... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here 1/9

the problem with gen AI characters just from purely a game design & player experience standpoint is that the characters are unmemorable and boring, there's no way to feel clever when talking to them, and even if you roleplay when talking to them they won't remember or react to that meaningfully

I've learned (and I am still learning) how to run a game studio for the last seven years doing both creative and biz. Here's a list of guidelines that work for us and might be useful for others that were lessons I've incorporated with our experience and guidance from others. 🧵

WELCOME TO THE CASEY AWARDS 2024! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRnU...

Ok lets get into it then. Hi I'm Valentine, I was one of the employees who led most of the walkouts and who was part of the original group pushing for unionization at Blizzard, especially on the WoW team where I worked at the time.

5 HORAS PARA O LANÇAMENTO!! 🎉 O PAI TA CHEGANDO! 5 HOURS TO GO UNTIL LAUNCH!! 🎉 DAD'S ALMOST HOME! #gamelaunch #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #indiebr #jogobr

POSTANDO AQUI o paradoxo de pinóquio 👹👀🧠🙆✨️

I'm so happy I can finally share this. I interviewed @jumpovertheage.com ahead of Citizen Sleeper 2's release later this month. It's a really tremendous game everyone should seek out and try. www.engadget.com/gaming/citiz...

Digo, insisto e repito, essa narrativa heroica que atribui à Dilma Roussef a criação da CNV e afirma que ela foi derrubada por confrontar os militares não apenas é falsa como serve a um propósito específico, blindar os militares.

Já que o artigo bombou, achei justo fazer uma versão PT-BR: felipepepe.medium.com/a-coloniza%C... Dei uma adaptada, em português posso ser mais ácido e acredito não precisar explicar oq é uma lanhouse XD Agradecimentos ao @belmonteiro.bsky.social pela ajuda com a tradução :)

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

Over at Dame Magazine I wrote about how America's right wing propaganda problem--and our bipartisan refusal to take media reform seriously--might very well be terminal:

If something can't support paying a living wage to those delivering it, then either we shouldn't have it or—if it is good for society despite not generating money—it should be nationalized and subsidized so that it provides its benefits while allowing those delivering it to make a living wage.

To celebrate the coming year, heres the mob pycho 100 handshake animation i did for an interaction assignment in uni!

It occurs to me, after reading posts getting it spectacularly wrong, that there are a lot of misconceptions over how game studios organize and, in particular, who makes the actual decisions about what ends up in your game. Much of it is by folks who don't *try* to get it... but not all, surely. 1/🧵

I agree with @localthunk.bsky.social. Rating Balatro as an 18+ game is as unserious as it is hypocritical, and how we use ratings and regulations to safeguard children often makes no sense. My latest at @crossplayblog.bsky.social: patrickklepek.substack.com/p/is-balatro...

gente, EU TO ABRINDO UM ESTÚDIO DE BOARDGAME!!! por enquanto ainda estamos organizando tudo, mas vai ter lançamento dos nossos primeiros jogos ano que vem quem puder já ir seguindo a gente, ia ser top <3

The best order of operations for any mid-scope indie game that requires funding is: - Build it quickly & quietly assuming you'll self-publish - Pitch to everyone - If unsuccessful, put out a store page & start marketing - If successful, publishers will come back to you - If not, continue as-is

Logo após as eleições, o "Prefeito" reeleito de São Paulo voltou a ser protagonista de escândalos. Dessa vez, descobriu-se que Ricardo Nunes morou num imóvel de luxo de um empreiteiro que ganhou mais de R$600 milhões da Prefeitura em contratos sem licitação. Vem cá entender +👇🏽

The reason crafting is in every game now: It's like money laundering for game designers Let me explain.

Why does 'finding the fun' fail so often as a design strategy? #gamedesign New designers are told to prototype and 'find the fun'. But the naive version of this is a garbage tactic that mostly results in poorly thought out prototypes that are never going to converge on gameplay.

Legal, Stalker 2 deletou meu save depois de crashar enquanto carregava 🙃🙃🙃🙃

based on people liking my post about genAI being bad, it seems there's lots of AI hating on bsky, which is great! but maybe someone has told you that you only think this way because you don't understand the tech, and that's bad, because by understanding genAI you can actually hate it much better 🧵

summer eternal, a new studio from ex-disco elysium devs, is embracing a model that gives company shares to workers and players. why? they're tired of bargaining with the rich and want to build a place where "workers make the rules." also, bc it's funny aftermath.site/summer-etern...
