It’s Terry Pratchett Day! My favourite author, who gave me an escape when I needed it, inspired me to be a better person, and taught me the value of truth, justice, freedom, reasonably priced love, and a hard boiled egg. “When in doubt, choose to live.” 📚💙 #TerryPratchettDay

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

Kane Parsons has revealed that Blender played an integral part in developing the ‘BACKROOMS’ movie. • Concept art was developed entirely in Blender • Blender was used to make set designs before they were brought to life physically

I despise with the heat of a thousand suns the way I have to be suspicious of all art I see now while I investigate it's authenticity, because this couldn't be more diametrically opposed to the state of mind one should be in while taking in all art.

The aim of the organised transphobic movement is to mandate trans people out of existence, they won't be happy until their targets are dead, it's a movement motivated by genocidal mania, and the cruel, vindictive, hateful bigotry extends from there.

This report came out today by minority staff of the House science committee on how three NASA missions were aborted due to NASA illegally following the FY26 president's budget request instead of congressionally approved budget. Very important reading. 🔭🧪 democrats-science.house.gov/staff-report...

"Why do we keep trusting AI?"

never forget

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since. But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

April 2: guards cut all phone access in the housing units without warning. When detainees protested, CRS officers allegedly punched a man, threw another to the ground, kicked him in the head, and pinned him by the neck. A third detainee's wrist was broken. The entire cage was pepper-sprayed.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop

“One report (found) that only 8 percent of users actually double checked an AI’s answer. Another experiment found that users still listened to AI when it gave them the wrong answer nearly 80 percent of the time — a grim trend the researchers dubbed “cognitive surrender.”

mario kart world if it fucking ruled

ngl the vibe around Pokémon dropping their first great game with no catches in like 15 years with Pokopia and following it up with Champions is giving big Sonic Mania into Sonic Forces energy

Chiitan loves transgender people from the bottom of my heart🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 From a fairy like Chiitan, it seems natural for everyone to live as their true selves. That’s why, until the day Chiitan disappears and is gone, I’ll keep sending gentle messages so that all transgender people can live happily.

🎉 It’s time for a… Game Changer: Home Edition – coming to Kickstarter on May 5th! Three games. One box. Infinite possibilities.

I don't know about you, but it feels like AI proponents are getting off lightly with the level of scorn directed at them, all things considered. They've earned so much worse. Frankly, I'd like to see Sam Altman criminally liable for the deaths his chatbots caused. As a start.

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! Please spare some visibility to UNSIGHTED! Made by two Latina trans devs: me + @ironfairy.bsky.social Top-down metroidvania focused on sequence breaking, speedrunning, and a queer plot Out now on all major platforms: store.steampowered.com/app/1062110/... #indiegame

My wife and I have launched a GoFundMe to address our flood damaged house and the repairs beyond what insurance will cover. Don't feel obligated but we're grateful for any help. gofund.me/175fc3ca3

all the best freaks mask up

boils my blood that so many people were praising a piece of shit like tim sweeney for so long because he was pursuing his own self-interest but had good enough pr people to frame it as a service to the world

how dudes see themselves when they boot up Ridge Racer Type 4 for the millionth time It's me. I'm dudes.

Small note. Mass layoffs like these are also a tactic to devalue the work because workers become more desperate while companies create false scarcity. Do not, ever, forget your worth. Don’t let them win. You make this industry exist. They don’t.

As a cis woman it is hard to find the words to articulate how I feel about my safety being used as a pretence for this egregious bullying of children

Any use of genAI always reads to me like: “We just used a little bit of shit in our cake because we couldn’t afford chocolate.”

As always, I recommend just using a photo of the game director's face as a placeholder if you have nothing else to hand.

Moneyball. It would be nice if we could all do the big splashy projects that get a ton of press, but there are only a handful of those every year. If you can be the guy an editor calls when they need some random 5-issue mini to outperform sales expectations, you will not lack for work.

My new video IS OUT NOW!!! 20 years ago the Original Playstation 3 launched. The Original model was riddled with hardware issues and was pretty much a laughing stock. But then why is it one of the most sought after & expensive Second Hand Game Consoles? FULL VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsEl...

literally what part of "AI is actively destroying the internet AND the industry I work in and if my only lever to discourage its use is to refuse to engage with the work of anyone who uses it, ever, I WILL" is hard to understand

MGS2 and other games from earlier generations should be part of game art education and learning and not only about only real time and the latest tech. If you can make a hallway interesting with just an electrical box and a handful of pipes and let colour and light work for you then you get it.

Remember: if you're feeling like you can't possibly fight a behemoth this huge and wish you should do something that actually hurt it, you already are Simply being vocal about how much you hate it is extremely powerful, so don't stop devaluing their investment

i need the “llms are might be conscious” folx to read this
