Celebrate Fungal Biodiversity! 🍄

I remember this page only because bulbagarden replied to my tweet with this wiki page to get my ass

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.

my all-time favorite bulbapedia page is this category

Here's today's #KirbyAirRiders photo!

It's very easy: Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz. Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

They are not even remotely the same thing and everyone with a brain knows when we say AI we are not talking about pathfinding and enemy behavior and procgen, we are talking about theft and plagiarization and slop

decided to do a cute little AP of Explorers of Sky AP Rando because I wanted to pick it up again then my dumbass let the game decided how much checks to give me and it uhhhhh gave me over 2k

Happy 35th anniversary to the Fire Emblem series, and 20th anniversary to Path of Radiance! Some rare traditional art of Elincia, inspired by portraits of young Queen Victoria #fireemblem #pathofradiance #artsky

sketched my green freaks on my sister's tablet

The Escapist Article claiming that Blue Prince use of AI scripting to run the game (as it's a rouge like) is the same thing as generative AI is related to this btw.

タランザ

Duo W!Elincia and Pelleas for @swordsmaster5.bsky.social thank you :3 #FireEmblem

As much as I love (and agree with) the backlash against Larien and e33 over the Ai usage stuff I really hope it carries over to games and companies that didn't have a "It's popular now it sucks" mindset. We need to go after Arc Raiders.

I really feel like they could/should have worded it differently?

Every so often something comes up that reminds me that I vastly prefer a stable 30 fps game over a fluctuating 60

Good night

jolly fuuka friday! Jolly! #persona3

this was one of the funnier changes they had to make to the newer versions of sa2b no vmu or gba to connect to so all the options they had for those were gutted and now there's just a chao garbage chute in every garden

doodled a lil' erika bc she's my mom's favorite gym leader

The sequel to my previous #lucahjinart ! Now that Chomps has fully evolved they can fly together with Schmoofles! Team Fly!💕

it’s the freaking weeking baby!!

The "just play indie" sentiment is an ineffective one. Always research the companies no matter how large they are. Moon Studios is Indie and one that I never want to give a dime to again. That one dipshit who made Braid? Indie. Know who you're handing that cash too.

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

In my life I have learned to never take cooking takes from people that have a burning hatred for American Cheese.

lrt related- It is absolutely on purpose that language around AI has became a buzz word more than anything. Always double check things and while Sandfall has some explaining to do with the placeholder, I'm not expecting any Dev team to hand place 6 billion assets... who the fuck wants to do that?

Part of the issue is the very term AI has been widened out broadly and infinitely so now we're playing this language crapshoot, during which people can either be mistaken, use the wrong term, not fully understand the term they're using, or just lie. It's a fucking mess.
