I saw an sqlite db doing something weird today. that's the one thing sqlite isn't supposed to do! but I guess with 40 million sqlite dbs, one of them was going to be weird eventually.

it really be like this sometimes

real achievement on this site

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

game development

tumblr user pjackk got deleted today and everyone is holding a vigil for him. I’ll miss him so much

i do not "organize my files", i do not "put things in separate folders", i PUT EVERYTHING IN DOWNLOADS! and if i can't find it, i LOST IT!

@discord.com If you’re going to demand our private information, store it improperly, push microtransactions everywhere, insult the intelligence of your user base, could you please AT LEAST give a human response when you illegitimately suspend one of your users?

fun reminder: the reason why they make these fucking pointless "live action" remakes is because since it's "live action", the animation is considered "vfx" and not character animation, so they can pay these non-unionized satellite studios fuck-all and make a cool few million for essentially nothing

OS level age verification is a Meta lobbying project Pass it on

biblically accurate noelle sketches bc i like when people draw her similar to the in game style and wanted to try it myself #deltarune

oh neat there's a decomp for gamecube animal crossing. it emulates fine but that's cool that should probably exist. [scrolls to the bottom of the github page] Ah. suck my Ass,

Hi

a 15 year difference more or less

Reposting the image with alt text. So EVERYONE can see which of the thirteen airports will have ICE agents on site

i wonder if you can get a .workers.dev domain on bluesky

Same procedure every year

I feel like this is just the solution you pick when you're bad at the main thing gamedev demands of you: problem solving. The solution here would of been to rework your games storytelling elements to have minimal voice acting, or find a way to present it well WITHOUT the voice acting.

The pending enshittification of bluesky is going to be very funny, at least, considering that the entire userbase is made up of people who, by definition, will switch social media apps when one gets shitty. (since that's why they're here at all)

people mimicking early 3D environments is so funny because at first you question what makes them feel that way but 99.9% of the time it comes down to the GFX team having like 6 kilobytes and a sandwich for vram size

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

do ya'll know how beautiful it is to sit down with a passionate artist on voice chat, and watch'em draw as you have an in-depth conversation on the tone and atmosphere, guiding the direction as you're going along? takes like an hour tops. i recommend this secret technique to all introverted AAA devs

this is like the third time a studio has pulled this excuse when including genAI and it's the third time i've had to say that this issue of genAI placeholder assets is redundant because game devs had a more intuitive solution 30 years ago

....well I should've figured the cool new Flash alternative? vibecoded AI slop made with Claude, ie chat gpt with a less embarrassing veneer what a goddamn shame. The actual flash is available to download and run as abandonware these days, here: animatearchive.neocities.org?home

I was in multiple rooms at GDC where management of games studios let their hair down and said "everyone's using it, gamers hate it so we just have to hide it now", but none were actually able to explain if and how AI were making games faster to develop or better at all

Microsoft’s goal has always been to Embrace, Extend, & Exterminate. “Extinguish” is a polite euphemism applied to their strategy later on.

well, there is bnuuy here

why would you be worried about such a silly thing like privacy? a good upstanding citizen has nothing to hide. ignore the 16 hundred pieces of legislation that are being pumped and pushed out that are designed to suppress minority freedom of expression.

the surveillance state wants you to verify id with them so that you can use computer, preferably on systems that can easily catalog what software you run and what sites you visit. for children's safety, of course.

i think the whole thing with systemd's birth date field has just made me completely lose hope in a single privacy solution. you effectively have to weed out who is going to try to feed your data into the killing machine.

heyyou guys think 0.59 cents could get me a game this steam sa- OH MY GOD

The FDA announced that 7 people contracted E. coli from eating cheddar cheese made from raw milk. I cannot understand what the big deal is with pasteurization. It's just heating milk for a set time then rapidly cooling it. No chemicals, no high tech equipment. It's just heated milk.

i think it fails to understand that people will always make electronics if they want electronics. i think people will always want to own their electronics, you can't pawn power off to a subscription like you can with software and entertainment

there's some sort of growing thought in the ai space too that, with a vast amount of data and power far exceeding consumer electronics, ai can do anything. so you take away consumer electronics, replace them with AI data centers and a subscription to access it i do not think this will work lol

I'm saving this screenshot for when it happens. When Trump kicks the bucket and we all celebrate and people scold us for "speaking ill of the dead," just show them that we're following Dear Leader's example.

So they tried to lie for investors/shareholders and we all saw RIGHT through it (well 'most' of us did) and the blow back was so bad they had to admit it. Never believe ANYTHING tech companies say now, they are so desperate for more money they bullshot their way if they can

XCX has an unused weather effect that has a 15% chance of dealing 2000 physical damage and inflicting Launch every 10 seconds. This is what it'd've looked like (with the rate every 1/3 of a second instead).

this remains true

We have just received this mysterious transmission! We don’t really know what it means yet, but maybe we’ll find out a week from now, which is March 27th, which also happens to be the 9th anniversary for OneShot: Solstice… how about that! #oneshotgame

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame. TL:DR, they sped up slop. youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

Everyone else: that just happened Me: tadc cygwin

OH indeed

Just got WiFi, what’d I miss?

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

twitter: Here is a celebrity you just learned about. They did a really shitty thing. Everyone is mad at them bsky: I'm a 29 year old queer librarian and I just hacked into the pentagon

Sequel to this! I'll try and do this semi-often. Maybe not weekly or I'll run out of outfits lmao. My wardrobe is smal #utdr #kris #krisdreemurr #art #deltarune

Wow amazing it look like chair now I want to draw one
