reminder that if you get subpoena'd or otherwise are surveilled in anyway, you need to stop posting and shut the fuck up. seeing replies saying "dont comply in advance" - that's not what this is. its keeping yourself from digging a grave. talk to a lawyer, and stop posting. (1/4)

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

yeah fuck it 2 Steam users in a single process the way i did this was some huge undocumented grease (thanks OpenSteamworks for IClient*) but i didn't do anything too hacky. its actually stupid shrimple. they should make this a real feature it'd be sick for a certain subset of games

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

it might be hard to believe, but Minecraft 1.12.2 is actually the final version of that game! any later versions of the game are actually a fork of it, known as Minceraft, that many people have been tricked by the developers into believing it is called Minecraft

Wait, is it really just inaccurate in the dashboard? lmao

When yo girl mashroomized

really cool that the Beat Saber modding community have decided that ever having OpenComposite installed means you pirated the game there are so many ways you can detect a modified Steam API, and they decide not to do that and instead decide any INI file existing means you are a pirate

It's kinda like if you were born intuitively feeling like the A button should be on the right, X should be up, B down, etc. but life hands you an Xbox controller and everyone gets super weird the moment you ask about button remapping.

none of the projects im a part of use AI or genAI. i cannot believe i have to say this. nobody else in the games industry with a shred of dignity uses that shit either

Finding out there are generative AI Inverted Fate covers is extremely disheartening. Please do not use my music to make AI-generated stuff. Thank you.

I think if you use gen ai, you should be sentenced to stand on a stage and have writers/artists pelt you with rotten tomatoes while Steve from Blues Clues tells you how disappointed he is in you, oh and every tomato that hits you drains your company's stock closer to bankruptcy.

while not exactly the same, i remember posting an excerpt from an ambient song i was making, and this one guy asked if it was AI. even as an innocuous question, i would advise thinking twice before you casually drop it, because to me, it is the equivalent of saying "are you devoid of imagination?"

I dont use generative Ai in my games because if I dont personally lick every part of my game how will people know its mine

game devs, if you hate microsoft like i do, want to devalue xbox, and you use xbox face buttons in your ui, you should change them to either monochrome (like the steam deck / steam controller v2 face buttons) or change their colors to match the dreamcasts like i am for my projects (as seen in qrt)

a little shading experiment :p #isat

“If they want to eat they can get a job!” 48% of SNAP recipients work full time 38% are children No one should starve because they’re unable to work, but the idea that SNAP is only for those who refuse to work is false. It’s being pushed so you don’t care that those “useless eaters” starve

who put this enemy in the fucking game

valve has like basically infinite money at this point so if they really wanted to fuck with all their competition they could just make their new devices cheaper than literally everything else n probably get away with it

Does anyone know how a difference in OS language might cause Unity to attempt to save a JSON file but, somewhere along the way, instead create a file that's 339 empty space characters and nothing else

"parse don't validate" ummmm why would I do that my data is already valid

"make invalid states unrepresentable" pales in comparison to my strategy of assuming the state will always be valid

"Gay people should just create their own stuff" Webfishing dev got doxxed because their game was too gay, you guys literally don't let us have anything
