Mais quel banger chairmanmaf.bandcamp.com/track/raspbe...

I'm getting increasingly worried that coffee breaks (indulging in caffeinated drinks, thus increasing focus and productivity) are not *actual* breaks, but a trojan horse.

please play King of Dragon Pass, Six Ages, and Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out

Didn't think I would one day look for the accurate adjective to qualify everything that comes in relationship with an aunt, but there I am.

Mainstream AI use and popularity comes from the fact that it's a fascinating toy to use. But whenever craftmanship is involved, it's tools we need. Not toys. The difference lies in how good either is able to respect the author's intent. 'Cause we can't ask AI to make choices for us.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Comme promis elle arrive. Ce sera ma vidéo avant la pause estivale. On recommencera en Septembre ou plus tard. Hésitez pas à me "Re-blusker" youtu.be/2HIu0M2Gdbs?...

Finished it yesterday and passed it on. Absolutely 100% a great book.

This is from Haaretz, an Israeli news site. It proves that Israeli concentration camp soldiers have been ordered to deliberately shoot at unarmed Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid. No Western media will run this story or even refer to it, because real Western journalism is mostly dead.

Exactly this. I feel like my impostor syndrome is aging like fine wine.

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

Yup, it's time to go. Even through the sorry state of affairs, the Game Camp has been a real joy for me. I'm glad I met so many interesting and helpful people.

SAG-AFTRA reaches tentative agreement with major studios that includes 'AI guardrails'

La semaine prochaine, je vais me transbahuter jusqu'à Lille pour la Gamecamp. Toujours content de parler d'artisanat vidéoludiques avec qui veut !

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Some days, I feel like a oily, blood-soaked leather plushie filled with my own ashes. Nothing a little 90's eurodance mix can't fix, really.

see this so much these days? also with complicated themes or unpleasant choices. really not liking the shift toward having EVERYTHING need to be nice and sweet and cosy and prechewed. humanity is in the full spectrum. in the uncomfortable and the crunchy. that’s not a moral failing on our part

On trouve comment des illustrateurs ou illustratrices qui cherchent des scénaristes ?

We're getting worked up about youths giving in to the ease of AI use, but what can we possibly tell them when they say : "Why bother, when a machine can do it ?"

Il y aura toujours quelque part en moi la petite voix nasillarde de son Vegeta pour me botter le train quand me viennent des envies d'abandonner. Ses interprétations, quel cadeau. Merci à lui 🙏

Repo Man is a weird one. A "debt-collecting RPG" (immersive-sim ?) in a Art-Nouveau city plagued by fae. Very strong visual identity, interesting pitch, apparently vaporware. Played the demo, it was promising - though very rough and buggy.

4 types of characters I write 1. Self-deprecating loser unwittingly fighting for the greater good 2. Kind and empathetic healer with a fireproof plan to conquer the world 3. Mother who hides her universal love for others behind snark & sarcasm 4. Unrepentant troll waging a war with boredom

Si vous avez pas déjà checké les vidéos d' @uxexplorer.bsky.social, je vous conseille vivement. C'est futé, accessible et riche. Et en plus il sait de quoi il parle vu que c'est son taf.

En attendant vous pouvez toujours regarder la dernière vidéo en date. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0SV... Des insultes dans le chat aux lootboxes pour mineurs, quels outils existent vraiment pour nous protéger ? Réponse dans cette vidéo!

I know my games industry mutuals are already well aware of this (and suitably annoyed about the importance of it), but a game receiving an "overwhelmingly positive" reception on Steam (95% positive reviews) gives it a major, major buff to visibility. The Hundred Line is currently sitting at 88%.

I'm terrible at self-promotion, but it's now been 11 years since the CRPG Book project began and 2 years since we published our Expanded Edition! 167 volunteers worked to write about over 400 RPGs - from early mainframe games to mainstream classics, plus all sorts of cool hidden gems. Check it out!

I hope for a future when we'll look at unregulated big tech being used by children & teens just as we look today at cocaine being unregulated and widespread in the 19th century.

🧠 Nouvelle grosse vidéo ! Depuis des décennies, les jeux semblent chercher quelque chose dans les tréfonds de l'esprit humain. Les mille trésors secrets déjà déterrés dans ce labyrinthe n'ont pas suffi: aujourd'hui encore, cette recherche se poursuit inlassablement. Pourquoi ? youtu.be/YtOo5PQTSYw

Look I get it's a meme, but do support the Expedition 33 team. It's a humble studio from Montpelier and they could use all the support instead of buying yet another remaster of an old game to chase nostalgia

AI Image generator are but high-tech mix 'n match books. "I made this concept with the power of prompts." Yeah, no. Don't expect me to show grown-ups the same kindness I reserve for 3-years old when they present me with the characters they found by randomly fumbling some pages drawn by someone else.

Oh, I know that urge. It's the voice that tells you "if you're not happy with the kind of experience these types of games offer, then make the one you want yourself."

Fear of unsurmountable technical issues aside, being a solo-modder on Autumn Leaves was really fun and enjoyable. Working on dialogue trees, skill checks, scripting, level design, game design all at once was both enriching and stimulating.

📫 Eh ouais, on lance un projet de média indépendant sur le jeu vidéo *en newsletters*. En 2025. 🐸 Aidez-nous à le réaliser sur Ulule : fr.ulule.com/temalesjeux/ (La page répond à la question "une newsletter ? Et pourquoi pas un pigeon voyageur ?")

game writing is like a scented candle. if it's good, you might not notice because it harmoniously blends with the environment. if it's bad, you notice because everyone knows what shit smells like. if it's noticeably excellent even to people who don't "get" candles, it's a luxury product.

"The democratization of art comes not from everyone getting a cute image made in seconds, but from every person having the time and stability required to learn and produce art if they so desire. And especially from having the conditions to think and relate to art with introspection".

There's so much cool stuff in the world, so much to explore... You can legit make a difference in connecting passions and bringing cultures together. But some people choose to believe they live in a dead, boring world where everything has been done & documented already.

i honestly at 45 just feel like im starting to have enough framework to understand things. 25 year old writers are great but i would love perspectives from older writers. gimme some actually seasoned characters dealing with midlife stuff instead of their first serious relationship working out.

I really hope Konami paid something to "Rabbit & Bear" studio (Eiyuden Chronicle) for doing their R&D about how Suikoden could translate into today's gen. Aha.

J'essaie de mettre en place un Starter Pack des Narrative Designers et Writers francophones. Pour l'instant il est un peu vide, donc n'hésitez pas à me dire si vous voulez en être et à le partager ! bsky.app/starter-pack... #narrativedesign #starterpack #gamewriting

My take on it is that you're trading production time for (AI) content curation time, and I'm not even sure that the gain ratio on revenue is that good. At all.
