'Backrooms' director Kane Parsons isn't a fan of generative AI "If I could snap my fingers and make generative AI disappear forever, I probably would" "Creatively, I get no enjoyment from using those tools. It defeats the purpose entirely for me"

Theres something kind of fun about going to block someone and realising they already follow you. Like lol you thought you were welcome in my house? Think again mother fucker

It is June. All you LGBTQ homies better start feeling proud real soon

No clue what my spirit animal would be but I’d really enjoy if it ended up being roadkill or a half-squashed cockroach or something

"real cinema is all about story" "real music is about lyricism" "real game design isn't about graphics" - quotes from the discerning Sensory Information Hater. Loves stories about human experiences but hasn't had one personally. They cannot see paintings and their house is unfurnished

It's pre-pro. Sky is the limit. Gather a bunch of interested, creative people in a room and brainstorm. Talk, share what works and what didn't. Joke around. Get weird. Imagine. It's not that hard and it's light-years better than AI will ever be.

Was leaving work and saw some teenager intently watching his dog poop on the sidewalk, and after he just said "wow, that was remarkable"

"making games is hard" nah you're wrong and/or lying. it's expensive and time consuming that's all. which is way worse btw

this feels like the crux of things, and I don't see it highlighted enough: being creative is fun! i want a machine that does my laundry so i can focus more on making art, not the other way around!!

I can't stop thinking about this video since I saw it last night

Maybe one day I should post about my characters on here

Hell yeah brother

Trying to get a job in video games right now is like crawling through hell: aftermath.site/video-game-rec...

microsoft developers using SteamOS running Windows-native games through compatibility layers AS A BENCHMARK for their new Windows K2 optimizations is one of the funniest fucking things to happen thus far in this current iteration of the OS war

as a designer or artist if you encounter a programmer who even listens for two seconds, let alone actually recognises and defers to your expertise, rather than weighing in on every issue equally as though an authority on all things, you are delighted. barely ever happens

If you ever work with with an Actual Genius Coder it's easy. You go "what if we did this crazy thing 😬" and they go "🤔 yeah that'll work". It's 2025, don't let a coder tell you everything is too hard and they won't bore you with the details

Always be wary of the technical/non-technical-person divide; it's a fucked power dynamic. Being more "technical" should not put you in charge or beyond the scrutiny of the artists and designers and audio people and animators and everyone else

I love “Best Of” albums because they let you re-experience all your favourite songs with digital clipping

Probably a simple online search but I wonder when the terminology "original character" started being used-- I suspect social media but I don't know. Risking being pedantic on top of ignorant, in many contexts it seems redundant to me. Gyro and Nebby are my characters- they aren't my OCs to me.

Could this in fact be the perfect pop-rock song? Leading experts say: "It's possible"

i've never been righter in my life. a big nothing. fuck this porch

I have a joke about level design but I don't have the tools to express it

hell fucking no!

I worked on the ending song for this! Go watch the short, and consider joining the plush campaign to help support the team!

Finally got around to uploading the track I wrote for Captain Wayne by @ciaran-games.bsky.social! Big thanks to @cness4290.bsky.social for inviting me onto the project!!

This might seem harsh but I think anyone who would make or use this should die

i've never understood why people, more than being skeptical or uncertain, tolerate shit like that all. you can have stacks of cash and a piece of paper saying you have the IP but, y'know, it's fanfic. the claim to legitimacy sounds silly if you actually spell it out: because the paymaster said so???

playing reanimal makes it even funnier that namco was like "here is a little nightmares 3 by a different studio :) the official new entry in the franchise developed by a team with none of the institutional knowledge or talent you gain by making the two previous little nightmares games :) :)"

One of my biggest regrets is seeing this comic on the shelf of a newsagents back in the 90s and not immediately buying it poopsheetfoundation.com/index.php/mi...

The most irritating thing in the world to realise is that ultimately many films and games that people want were never 1) in popular demand before they arrived 2) were never predicted by ”market forces” or “investors” 3) sell like mad for the ppl that manage to actually raise the startup cash
