Nanao from the flop hit mech ps2 game Robot Alchemic Drive is truly the most real icon of the working class She is our struggler icon

found a comic i drew in 2015 when i was in college and i STAND BY IT

the really heartbreaking thing is when i interview Chinese devs (or Korean devs as well) or even just like network with them I get thanked for treating them respectfully.... and i think that points to a much larger issue that some devs face bc of the way american journalists talk about their work

Good morning~😉 朝かららくがき

there is a rarely (if ever?) spoken about gamecube era aesthetic of stylized graphics mixed with textures made from real world photographs and I hope a bunch of indie devs embrace this at some point

These technologies can and are being used to create lifelike images and videos of actual living women and girls. For what I think are pretty obvious gendered civil rights reasons, it needs to be a recognized civil cause of action to create an AI image or avatar of a woman without her consent.

More tech!

oh brother, another bad post from political influencer beltway brian. i am furious at beltway brian all of the time. i share screencaps of beltway brian's posts with people who have no idea who he is. i hate all of beltway brian's posts and i read all of them every single day, including weekends

I sketch almost exclusively in ballpoint pen nowadays, and it's still my medium of choice for plein air studies:

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

If you want a perfect snapshot of how bad twitter has gotten: I posted these weenies on here and instagram and the comments were “oh looks tasty.” I posted it on twitter and it trended as an international conflict

The art for this game was done by Hiroshi Nagai! An incredible artist who creates gorgeous art for city pop albums. With these being a few examples!

My boss, to his credit in this case, argued against it over and over — “We got Stella for this and you want a computer to write it?” — but the exec didn’t want to hear it. I don’t think the game has shipped yet or if it will but. Wonder if they changed their mind since they let me go

I ever tell you guys I got replaced with ChatGPT on a project at Saber? One of the execs figured if we wanted to do live ops content for it not only would it be less work for everyone if ChatGPT wrote all of it, but that they could use it as a marketing selling point since gamers love AI

“We’re going to ship lower quality stuff, faster” seems like an exceptionally clear sighted and honest explication of AI’s value proposition, I’m just not convinced that a) people will want the lower quality stuff, or b) that it will actually be faster

this rules because its the nail in the coffin of the agentic ai promise and they're just saying it out loud. if prompt injection works on a browser it works in a codebase or its documentation, it works in excel documents, it works when calling people on the phone. LLMs are just a nothingburger

It blows my mind that you can create a startup based on a fucking absurd series of lies and impossible promises, make billions of dollars while companies cut staffing believing the lie, then walk away from the smoldering crater without being guillotined straight to hell www.ft.com/content/9b1b...

welcome and here's some of my #deadlock arts

For the new followers! My names Shaun Mooney, I'm a concept artist and now Indie dev working on my first project based on my dinky street sweepers. Enjoy!

ngl i need people to take this info and post it *on twitter* if you can. like, people will join this site and just not see anything except the discover feed and the one person they joined to see. if you got a sizeable enough twitter account still, help people build a community on here so they stay

Hi new accounts don't forget the boobs and butts setting

If you switch to bsky it will be vitally important to not use the Discover feed and instead pin this one

Oh wow, Dragon Ball FighterZ mods are hitting the next level. Yami Yugi isn't just some reskin - he's a full on puppeteer character with a card-drawing/summoning mechanic. He looks like he could be an official DLC guest character.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

Had to read this headline multiple times. God what a tragedy

A reminder that The Escapist that people remembered does not exist anymore. Almost all the core staff packed up and left. Most reformed as Second Wind, which is doing decent work. The Escapist now exists to promote online gambling and act as a mouthpiece for unhinged venture capitalists. Let it die

I sometimes think about when smartphones came into prominence and how routines tangibly shifted over the course of a few years to reflect the new tech and it's uses. It's been a few years, what has AI accomplished? seems it's made everything it touches measurably worse outside of wall st.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

From the makers of Elevator: Source comes Elevator, the sequel. Up to 8 players, lots of randomized floors, full controller and Steamdeck support, voice effects and much more. All coming next year - 2026! Wishlist below!

Oh, cool! Game preservation people have managed to recover a full install of Battletech 3025 - a defunct multiplayer mech shooter. Efforts are currently in progress to reverse-engineer a server framework and get that up and running, bringing it back to life. www.myabandonware.com/game/multipl...
