The fact that he puts the medal on himself is so fucking funny

So you can buy “A Serbian Film” on Amazon without issues but digital video game stores draw the line at “Horses” ? Cant wait for the video game awards speeches about how games are art

Long Thread Ich will mal was erzählen, was mit dem Sprechen über Rechts zu tun hat. Beschäftigt mich viel. Ich hab neulich einen Workshop zu Digitalfaschismus gegeben. Vor mir war ein Redner der über völkische Siedlerbewegungen informiert.

Noticed this for the last three years. Black Friday is not what it used to be. It’s more likely that you’ll get a good sale at any other time of the year. So many items I wanted to check out where priced lower months ago in some random sales. Use price tracking tools and be patient

"I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people." Fucking hero right here haha www.pcgamer.com/games/hero-m...

I dont understand people who actually think LLMs are AI. I mean Grok is the best example what intelligence is not. The looser of a boss adjust the bot so it spits out words that praise him and present him as the best at anything. What? How the fuck is this supposed to be "intelligent" behaviour

In what kind of a world do you need to live where “dont use that shitty tech” is an extreme take?

Started another code refactor yesterday. Weird how everything becomes code smell if you keep sniffing 🫠

Using the Ras el-hanout spice mix for my dishes not because it tastes good (it does!) but bc it sounds badass

GDC wants people to attend? Start lowering it even more, this shit is not affordable for smaller devs. At all. Oh and get that shit out of the US. No sane person who values their dear life puts a step on US soil right now (and probably the years to come)

In case you think this is a joke

I was called a silver fox and my initial thought was: “Which Metal Gear Solid character was that again?” Until I realized what it actually means and then I went: :3

This one is for my fellow Hamburg/Germany people. If you didnt vote already by mail, please go and vote tomorrow, best case you'd vote both "Volksentscheide" with "YES". You vote once for Hamburg testing universal income and once for improving the Hamburg climate policies.

Mein Kommentar zu #Machado und dem #Friedensnobelpreis für sie hat für viel Aufsehen gesorgt. So viel, dass @mimikama.org mit Anfragen wegen eines Fakten-Checks überrannt wurde. Und das haben sie jetzt, wie immer, fantastisch gemacht: www.mimikama.org/machado-frie...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

fundamentally though GDC's biggest problem is that it's held in SF, an expensive city that's expensive to fly to in an expensive country that's also a repressive regime that kidnaps tourists and bans people from entry on racial grounds.

Snake oil salesman believes we all gonna die without snake oil

Honestly I feel such a bot would do a better job than like the majority of ministers lol www.bbc.com/news/article...

After Kirks death I noticed the same thing happening again from the left: the urge to debate fascists But there is a problem:

Did you know Hideo Kojima is credited in all Mega Man games for naming all bosses

Wait Trump wants the Nobel Peace Price? Not sure renaming the department of defense to department of war is the way to go then buddy

That feeling when you redesign and refactor around 100 files for a couple of hours until you’re satisfied with the changes and hit “Play” to see what you’ve done and what’s broken and…everything still works #gamedev

Y’all have the wrong mindset. You need passive income. Start by charging rent from the rent-free thoughts!

Plottwist for the upcoming special Hollow Knight: Silksong announcement In 48h hours they announce they are cancelling the game 🫠

Y'all need to stop apologizing for liking something. A friend of mine told me recently they watched a movie trailer and in a sheepishly voice they said "I'm sorry, but I kinda like it and am looking forward to it." I am blaming all of you who judged a person just bc they liked something you didnt

For weeks I want to talk about something that irks me regarding #gamedev and the industry as a whole. I think Ramis talk is a good opportunity to finally get my thoughts out there (great one btw watch it!) I want to talk about gamedev and the gamesindustry. Especially the indie-dev part. A little 🧵

Like what the actual fuck

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

I would say I am a confident person, but damn, there are situations in life I wish I would have the audacity/confidence of a fisher from Pokémon who challenges you to a fight with six Magikarp

And this isn't even taking into account skill atrophy: right now we have skilled coders who were trained without relying on AI, but what happens in 10+ years when the next generation of coders come along who have relied on AI and lose the eye to tell the difference between good code and crap code?

I think as of now it is safe to say that Grok is one of Elons alts

Was at a Burlesque show yesterday and one act had a character whos name was “Venom Woman 404” and she definitely played all the Kojima games

www.gamesindustry.biz/three-ubisof... Reading and hearing stuff like this makes me really disappointed and sad.

Counterpoint: always pay full price for your indie games so the devs can maybe earn enough money that they can afford to eat.

Writing good horror is challenging and fun. But writing good short horror stories that are playable AND of a scope that is manageable to actually develop for a tiny team is really difficult and sometimes feels crushing. But we are making progress!

Started playing "Soccer Story" and there is not enough soccer in there :( I hoped for something like Inazuma Eleven but there is way less soccer action. Still enjoyable, though!

This reminds me of the german chancellor Friedrich Merz who said we need to work more so we can sustain our wealth. Remember, when people in positions of power say stuff like that, they actually mean that YOU have to work nonstop so THEIR wealth sustains and grows. Eradicate the rich.

Why would you touch grass if you can smoke eat or even better eat it

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

I think that some of what we think of as AI now will be a tool that people use, but if you’re going to make a graph that looks like Disco Stu and back up with speculation I’m going to assume you’re full of shit.

Research backed my ass. This is AGI fanfiction and nothing else. My favorite parts where the pseudo political thriller elements written by a 16 year old “The President is troubled. Like all politicians, he’s used to people sucking up to him only to betray him later.”

Substack banned porn bc it would ruin serious journalistic content apparently but racist views and Nazis wont. Ooookaaa~~~y

I like the whole “this game was made by a solo-dev and 9 of his friends” thing bc now it turned into a game of werewolf where you have to guess which one gets to be the gamedev and which one is just a friend
