Uh oh, I actually really like borderlands 3

I was like "wait isn't Latata an insanely popular song" it is! the song in Fortnite is not that song. it is something Suno-generated using the same name with a fake k-pop band. I wonder why Tim Sweeney is so mad about the Steam AI disclaimer now!

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

When I see LLMs pitched as a guaranteed productivity tool for software engineering, the is the counterweight I keep trying to get people to seriously engage with and not handwave away is the future cost, and “oh everything tech gets cheaper” isn’t an answer. Services don’t and LLMs are a service.

I believe in medieval torture methods for people who are fucking awful to my friends, thanks

WE FREEBASING DUBIOUS NOOTROPICS DID A BUMP OF DIPPED GAS STATION AMPHETAMINE SALTS OFF A STRIPPER'S ASSCRACK BLACKED OUT AND STARTED SPEAKIN IN TONGUES FOR 72 HOURS WOKE UP HOLDING A BRICK, THE KEYS TO A BUGATTI, AND THREE PHDS. I DID NOT PAY FOR THE BUGATTI

fitting he's the doritos pope because every jrpg I've loved has me fight and kill god

tragic: the AAA game you are enjoying uses unreal engine and you want to play it on steam deck

UZDoom 4.14.3 has left "release candidate" state, and is now officially released! Be sure to read the forum thread for the final list of changes. github.com/UZDoom/UZDoo... What's next? UZDoom 5.0 of course. It's gonna be a chonker of an update! zdoom.org/wiki/UZDoom_...

The only legitimate software development methodology: 1. Think very hard about an implementation 2. Don't do anything

Hey guys remember that dude on here that repackaged ffmpeg in a proprietary frontend and tried to sell it for like $50 usd or whatever

this is canon to me.

The Quake 1 axe sound is just the Metal Hit sound from Korg M1, and the signature grenade bounce is in fact the same sound nearly 2 octaves lower.

as a software engineer, ai coding makes my life measurably worse by polluting the information environment and vastly increasing the scale of incorrect bullshit my peers can and do create that i then have to clean up, or worse, guard against and NOT clean up. it actively makes people around me dumber

unironically feel like this all the time

I'd love to live in the world where the promise of AI in software dev is actually fulfilled but what we're really seeing is just pressure to increase profits using a technology in inappropriate ways to paper over a more fundamental problem in American business culture.

1. this is not an issue of pros-cons of personal use but active theft and colonizer behavior by LLM builders 2. as a working professional in legacy software, the things claimed to be bleeding edge research esp. agentic AI continue to cause more problems than they solve for me, so not really.

It’s so cool to have hitched your wagon 20 years ago to an industry that was booming beyond anyone’s expectations and have it turn out to be stripmined and utterly hollowed out by Shareholder Value, and every other industry you could slot into has been, surprise, hollowed out by Shareholder Value

Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all. www.ign.com/articles/uns...

i have never seen a pc part shortage as bad as the current ram shortage good lord

Go a step further: Do not read the opinions of your community. It's creative poison. Often as game designers we love to make people happy. But if you index too much on making the community, or people in the community, happy, then you're ceding too much of your judgment to them.

getting the pso2 hacking/jp proxy stuff upgraded to rust 2024 and whatnot. oh how I have missed having a sane, uniform toolchain to work in. cargo is a blessing

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics. I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

Sonic CD US Metallic Madness is mostly just riffing on top of this sequence preset from Korg Wavestation

took an old tumbler mug full of pecan-flavor coffee to an appointment this morning and got scent-memory recall to driving into university campus late after a near-miss with a tornado and being told it would count against my attendance record

i spy with my little eye

mozilla has correctly identified that the secret to a well received mascot is a big fluffy tail

Bluesky Support has suspended this furry congressional candidate's account for no apparent reason. They want to limit his reach and kill his campaign, presumably for not being whatever they consider "advertiser friendly". We really need to get loud about this, and not let them get away with it

today's the only day

the world really has become so insane it is impossible to articulate how insane without also sounding insane

They're making the Voltron of child labor exploitation to compete with the king of child labor

this is the future AI bros tell us is both utopian and inevitable

you are going to have to switch away from windows or learn to be a power user anyway to remove this crap. so why not just try Linux? you don't have to tolerate an adversarial relationship with the thing you stare at for 12 hours a day

Rebecca Heineman, a true industry pioneer and the legend behind Wizordum’s Mac OS port, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer. She will be deeply missed. If you’d like to support her family with medical or funeral costs, the GoFundMe link is attached. www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

I'd like to share this old video of hers, where she talks about her time working on the 3DO port of Doom. it's a wild story that stuck with me, and a reminder that sometimes "bad games" have amazing people working on them

just saw bo7 campaign stuff and i am fully convinced that plot was grok-generated

Had a wonderful interview with some of the Ring Racers dev team. Here's me succeeding very hard at their tutorial while they die laughing

Blaze day

alright well I guess "minimalism" is the theme which is both a very annoying theme I've done before and also would technically work for my existing idea anyway
