And the thumbnails have all been glazed with AI filters and/or spliced together from different shots so the perspectives look weird and off-putting

After years away I have returned to writing about video games with a piece for Remap about the less immediately obvious problems with DLSS 5

A friend of mine did a machine learning project like ten years ago where they taught a program to detect invasive plants from drone images. We did not call it "AI", we called it machine learning. Calling it "AI" now is trying to legitimize chatbots and other bunk by roping them in with real science.

ACCEPT / DECLINE are the only options he's given you, but surely you're clever enough to find another way out, right? Stranger Still is a gothic horror ending collection VN about a conversation over a suspicious dinner with a stranger. k-ramstack.itch.io/stranger-still #IndieGames #VisualNovels

one thing you can do for your laid off friends is reach out to them and tell them that you appreciated their work. I dislike the stigma in America of people avoiding talking to you because you were callously cut out of employment because people who have no taste deleted you from a spreadsheet

"It's not fair of environmentalists to point out that in addition to being finite resources that are actively destroying the planet, fossil fuels also leave us at the mercy of fragile supply and logistics chains significantly controlled by autocrats in geopolitically chaotic parts of the world."

more games should have intentionally obscure, or strange, controls that you have to spend time figuring out. without real instruction. there’s something incredibly compelling about treating interaction like a language you learn. i love that about games.

New this week, @gracemachine.bsky.social on Pathologic 3. Read it right here: bulletpointsmonthly.com/2026/03/25/f...

The Epic layoffs remind me of my speech last year: "They're not going to stop. They'll never be happy with any amount of profit and will always look to extract more from us. I don’t say this to scare you, but so that we're on the same page." All we have is us. www.austinkelmore.com/blog/all-we-...

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

What this type of disclaimer is saying is "I want to make a bad version of a game I can't afford to make rather than a good version of a game I can afford to make", which basically amounts to "ignore my game I'm not good at making them"

Found the correctest bathroom sticker

We just posted the games reel from this year's session on our brand new YouTube channel! It features clips from the showcased games, along with some standout submissions from the many we received last year. Watch it here: youtu.be/5Y-BezGV6mU

Hey, my first game, a surreal visual novel set in a near-apocalyptic Texas, is on sale for 25% off. In 2026 it is cheaper than like half a burrito. You should get it, so that I can keep making cool stuff for you.

They will often burn everything to the ground before giving into worker demands, even if those demands would make them more money.

our video game is on sale!! rescue cats, flush pirates out airlocks, argue with decapitated heads, experience a severe dust mite allergy. it's Skin Deep!

So thrilled to be one of the seven writers working on the anthology of stories for Thousand Hells! It’s the most complex narrative I’ve worked on so far and I’m excited for people to get to play this wild game.

I wrote about Daniil Dankovsky, one of the guys of all time.

A classic anti-masker tactic is to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.

Guess which one is his murder face

this is killing me lol

Everyone be like "remaster this" and "upscale that" meanwhile catch me playing Half-Life at 800x600 on software mode just to feel something

I don't really have an outlet for this so I just put it in a Google Doc, which you can find here. On Marathon: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

HELLO. THIS IS MY GAME. THE ONE I'M MAKING WITH @silksutures.bsky.social AND @eckartg.bsky.social. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it. Out May 7th, in bookshops: linktr.ee/next_level 🎲🔮

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

i love both my beautiful daughters

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
