This is less about being anti data analysis and more about the way that the flippant attitudes of the people who deliver their analyses can be broadly alienating to people with qualitative experiences that don't match their findings. Their desire is to scold and feel superior, not to educate.

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

Finished my Sculpey Jimothy project 😊 #nerdlings #minipainting #miniaturepainting #Jimothy #sculpey

Five gigawatts alone is fucking insane, let alone what they're aiming for past that. Genuine climate crime. The entire state of South Australia is projected to have peak demand of 2.16 GW today. We need to stop them.

experiencing it the way Homer intended

We can all cackle but this is important and should be celebrated: The final day of the Far Right CPAC conference with Liz Truss and Aus’ Pauline Hanson speaking had just 100 people in the audience.

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

The Incident at Galley House is absolutely my jam. It's a murder mystery narrative deduction game. If you liked Her Story or Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective or Return of the Obra Dinn or anything in that vein, you're gonna love this. store.steampowered.com/app/3641000/...

Hey this thing where they try to jingle keys in your face with new project confirmations to distract from the layoffs is very transparent and sucks.

You could say the same thing about wish granting genies... They really have to present more evidence than "it's inevitable, you dumdums"

Most of my experience lies with Unity and Unreal (as well as doing smaller projects Raylib projects using the C# and C++ wrappers) but am open (and excited) about learning new engines!

There are so many parts of the PM's AI speech that need a giant [citation needed] inserted after them. Makes me wonder if he has read the Parliamentary Library's insights paper on AI, which points out that the evidence on the productivity benefits of AI is mixed.

Labor totally under the sway of AI techbros then. Fuck building public housing, fuck the environment, fuck keeping Aus creative industries safe from IP theft by AI companies. Let's just give our land, water, fossil fuels and original IP to the techbros to make money from.

i haven't stopped laughing for two minutes straight

it's a horror game about a bird trying to write a screenplay.

lia-sae.net/articles/202... has been the most clear articulation about this distinction (ie code vs art in terms of LLM contributions), and why it should not exist in this context, that I've read.

The Productivity Commission should be disbanded. Danielle Wood seems to have been duped by AI wallet inspectors

Saw a couple of posts from US artists saying BSky is now asking them for age verification. Please follow the link in this repost. I’m the UK we’ve had this crap going on for over a year. The methods listed here work great, it’s what I use it (no way I’m providing personal info!)

games workshop i am still asking politely

Someone said it's bad bc it's "forcing devs to think about the layoffs and making them grieve" brother, what the fuck do you think they're ALREADY DOING??? I guarantee you that NO ONE THERE is able to just ignore the guillotine over their head and feel something for the empty seats in the office

A good day to remind you all that you can spend £5.50 on a 28mm @countbinface.bsky.social model from Troublemaker Games, £3 of which goes to NHS supporting charities Now who is selling some frog faced fiends and a scale model pier for them to fight over? www.troublemakergames.co.uk/product-page...

I'm heartbroken to hear about the Microsoft layoffs that have hit id Software. This triology of Doom has been incredible and wouldn't have been possible without these talented people. If you need some incredibly talented folks on your team, I have linked who I can so far below.

I’ve been wanting to revisit the 1998 psychological horror adventure Sanitarium for a long time. After over 3 months of working on it, it's finally finished! Sincerely hope you have a good time with it. 🫶 youtu.be/msRVh8d6q7U

Even after all these years I still find the fact that something like *this* was on the official soundtrack of a version of "Sid Meier's Pirates!" incredibly amusing. Only in the early 90s. 🏴‍☠️💿🔊🎶

Say what you will about Anthony Albanese, but he is always working extremely hard to be the most disappointing Labor PM I've had in my life

If your a game dev and saying that ai has a place with in the industry just know your peers who are being made redundant every week due to mismanaged ai investments talent funding out of the industry and they see your posts.

22 years. I joined a few months before Halo 2 shipped. Onto whatever comes next.

I sincerely thought Bungie was going to be my forever home in this industry. Alas, I'm back on the job market. I'm immensely proud of the work I got to do on Destiny, and the people I got to build an experience of a lifetime with.

You don't get yachts like that, you don't get dozens of cars like Sweeney, out of love of the game. The path to those are lined with necks.

The simple fact is, people by and large just don't want it, and whatever scarlet letter may be placed on a game by disclosing AI usage is because the customers know it's going to result in an inferior experience. "We can only sell you this by deception" is really telling on yourself.

It would be incredibly irresponsible of me to ask any of my followers or fans of Eldritch to suggest to New Blood that they should publish Eldritch 2, so I'm not going to do that.

Hello world! I'm bringing a professional account forward out of fandom lurking. I'm Johannah, I've been a narrative designer on Destiny 2 since 2022 and contributed to releases since then. :) Like many of my beloved colleagues I am now on the market. Watch this space question mark?

Get four great games* and support a queer studio for less than 20 bucks *Kitsune Tails is overwhelmingly positive rated and MidBoss is a top 10 rated traditional roguelike on Steam

Ohhh, I get it now. The goose in Goose Game was just on a quest to increase shareholder value

This "monoculture" shit Pauline is forcing into the discourse MSM journos, please ask her how she would enforce cultural apartheid Pies? The anthem on a loop? Police raids of the Shawarma carts at the Dandenong night market? Don't normalise her insane racism, you fkn numpties

Oh here’s a good one: 55% 25% 15% 3% 1.75% 0.25% A pretty good initial breakdown for varied frequency of events that feel genuinely common / uncommon / rare / very rare / epic / legendary. Start here and then nudge around.

Eat 3D just made all their content free. I used to watch these in college

why call it a resignation and not an antikeirstarmer mechanism

So much hate for Blueprint on the TL at the moment. A lack of decent diffing/review tooling can hurt. There are reasons to prefer code if that suits you and your team's workflow. But the number of people basically saying 'text works for me so the rest of you can go to hell' is really disappointing.

did a blog post of my Thoughts on the Actual State of Unreal in 2026, how it has come to this, etc etc. i've been an unreal user since 2008, and this is the worst the vibes have ever been. is there hope? perhaps www.joewintergreen.com/absolute-sta...

🔴🟡🔵 BIG WALK 🔴🟡🔵 Our new game about walking and talking comes out August 4 on Steam, Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5. Hang out and get lost with close friends in a big world.

Elon Musk is unambiguously calling for a violent race war. This is far from unprecedented. The Rwandan Genocide was stoked and enabled by Felicien Kabuga, the wealthy owner of the RTLM radio station that helped coordinate the genocide and used euphemisms like "go to work" to signal attacks.
