When you are trying to recursively collapse the Asset folder in the Unity project view but the laptop registers two taps on the little arrow and it recursively expands instead 🫠

What is even happening right now? 1000+ reviews, overwhelmingly positive. Thanks everyone!

If you asked me whether the internet anno 2006 should be regulated, I'd say hell no, because there was still hope, it still had potential for making the world more democratic. Today? Fuck it, who cares? It's a hostile, exploitative panopticon run for profit by feral nerds. The dream is dead now.

@xiotex.bsky.social Hey, we're having a crash that's most likely caused by OOB memory writes on PlayStation 5. Issue only happens in release builds, so we don't have very good data to work with in order to figure out the cause. Game is developed in Unity 6.3 using HDRP. Anything you can help with?

Well this is a fantastic start to the day!!

This is the missing puzzle piece. The vibecode bros write web framework stuff which was already borderline slop since it's the same ~150 lines of code copypasta'd from the same ~dozen of Stack Overflow posts. 95% of all code written is achingly trivial, which is why LLMs appear to do it so well.

lol, so new head of Xbox looked at Sony's bigly successful pivot to live service, nodded gravely and thought to herself "clearly this is the future"?

Are there any ancient texts that discuss the translation and interpretations of even more ancient texts? Like, Romans poring over Sumerian or Akkadian texts? Or, hell, Sumerian or Akkadian texts relaying their interactions with even more ancient materials?

The trick to peace is to let failure make you more admiring of those who succeed

Interesting physics-heavy iso-mech-tric shooter potential in Iron Plunder, being developed by Ashley Wood and his sons (SPITZ CO Games). Demo up on Steam. Very early days, but a striking art style nonetheless. More info/demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4540020/...

Most annoying thing about the present moment is that everyone seems to think that every opinion they have and every choice they make is actually evidence that they are admirable people.

It's sorta sad but it's gotta be said: A lot of the "indie" games biz right now feels like vanity publishing

Using Photoshop again for the first time in half a decace, and am not exactly shocked to discover that yep, it's actually worse now. Dog slow, eats RAM like popcorn, sloppy and dysfunctional UX, even the goddamn fucking layer selection tool doesn't work properly. Export tool opens Win95 dialog box.

"Hidari" stop motion feature film is still in the works. Directed by Masashi Kawamura using wooden carved puppets. Produced by Dwarf, Whatever Co & Tecarat. Completion expected in 2029 (+ new preview at Cannes Film Market next month). variety.com/2026/film/gl... www.catsuka.com/news/tag/mas...

Had a very Boring Cyberpunk thought the other day: Why do the big press outlets use the passive voice and seemingly underplay absolutely every major world event in their headlines? Maybe it's to prevent all the HFT swarms reading the news from getting too excited and hosing the financial system!

Spain is pretty cool actually

Spain and a couple of other southern European countries are refusing US planes in their airspace, but that's all I've heard of www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's gonna be so fucking funny when the only jobs that get replaced by AI are CRUD dev jobs for big tech

At this point I feel like the left should put all their support behind Trump since he's effectively dismantling the US empire and ending the dollar's status as global reserve currency. This is exactly what all the peaceniks and anti-imperalists have dreamed of for like half a century.

What's something that saprobionts in your biological niche excrete but that remains "saprotrophically inert" in the broader biosphere?

I refuse to be bound by logic or consistency in worldbuilding. anything can be any size if it's fun to draw and I don't need to explain it

(Knowing I'm about to set off a real fucking bomb with this one) the ability of customers to leave reviews on your games is a net positive for discoverability

Grabbed Marathon. Very neat, but holy shit, kinda shocked this thing made it all the way to release looking and playing like this. Kudos to Sony for going all-in on developer vision like this, it's a really cool and unique artifact, really bleeding edge stuff, but ... who is this for, exactly?

Everything makes a lot more sense if you stop tracing the arc along stuff like western civilization, or capitalism, or American empire or anglo liberalism. It is individualism that has metastasized, and now we are seeing it overwhelm the host. Soon it will destroy the host, and then it will be gone.

Any suggestions for concept artists in games industry? I'm currently looking to work with a concept artist for a new project. Will have a proper job posting up soon, but looking for recommendations in the meantime. DMs are open. Feel free to also email me: will [at] studiochyr.com

People who don't make a living programming stuff probably don't really understand that writing code is not really the work. Making computer go beep-boop is just table stakes. Once you've written code for a decade, you've seen it all, and most problem-solving becomes a matter of regurgitation.

I don't know about you, but being able to live and work more or less on my own terms doing something I love is pretty much as successful as I need to be, and I think that's a healthy attitude when it comes to work in the creative industries
