I will fight AI infinitely, but I'm sick of the amount of discussions I'm having about it on a regular basis. Having to constantly tell people the reasons AI is bad and it's not just for fun... it's exhausting. ANYWAY, what fun human-made projects are you guys working on? Anything's better than AI!

I still find the original Tomb Raider creepy overall, but you were missing out if you never saw the last few levels:

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...

Seeing all of the Ocarina of Time gameplay makes me want to buy a Switch 2. But to do that I first need money.

Fiona Belli and Hewie from Haunting Ground. What an interesting and weird game! Hewie is indeed a good boy. Slowly catching up on my #sixfanarts

Oh boy, that Street Fighter film, eh? Ummm… the animated segments were nice?

Hire Viki, she's super talented and lovely!

Oh yeah! It's European Dreamcast day! I remember getting mine on the midnight launch and a drunk guy walking past shouting "Getcha Dreeeaaaamcaaaast". It was weird.

I have some space opening up in my schedule for game development consulting, and/or writing funny words. If your project could do with someone who knows what they're talking about sticking their oar in, or good dialogue drop me a line. I'm good at this sort of thing: dan at size five games dot com

Oh. Hello Ulala. Guess it’s time to buy Crossworlds, even if she’s stuck to a background character!

I finally did my picture of Janet from Virtua Cop 2, as part of the #sixfanarts callout I did ages ago. It took a while to find a cool pose for her, but then I was inspired by the VC2 intro!

I'm pleased to announce Launchpad — my creator discovery, organic campaigns and key distribution tools – for indie games! 🚀 This has been in development for ~2 years with a cohort of early access customers across the industry. Here's how it helps your #indiegamemarketing:

Job post: New! Sega community post! Oh cool, that could be a fun job! Job reality: You have to moderate the Sonic Discord Server

I had nightmares about this freak

I have a plaster on the end of my finger and it feels like a really simple hacking tool. Suddenly I can't use my phone, my tablet, even my mouse is touch sensitive.

These are Cirrocumulus clouds. They’re very pretty. But I’m sorry cirrocumulus clouds, I will never draw you. We all want the poster-boy cumulus clouds.

Bitmap Book's Fatal Fury Ultimate History is lovely, as expected. I love seeing the behind-the-scenes sketches. And check out the barcode!

With the NeoGeo AES+ coming out, they're apparently looking for new NeoGeo games from Indies... so, obviously, if there are any NeoGeo devs looking for pixelart let me know! (From this interview video at TGS) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks2I...

I’m not one for VR, but slap a favourite game in there and suddenly I want to spend hundreds on a headset youtu.be/NfFkKUvGLiI

I’ve always wondered… When the lift goes out of view, does it rotate to match the curve, or stay upright? Asking the important questions.

Are people that dumb? Are they really falling for this? "We're the only ones who can save you from our terrible creation, so please keep sending us money"

I think "CNT" for Closed Network Test is a brilliant acronym and whoever decided that was good deserves a raise. Anyway, the Crazy Taxi CNT was not great. I won't be buying it.

The real question is: why aren’t we all making Saturn games now? There’s apparently no money in games anyway, so might as well have some fun ;)

I've seen so many "X game with DLSS5 enabled" videos and I'm always surprised at how excited people are for it?! It genuinely looks awful on every example, it feels like proper gas lighting. Like, can't they see the AI muddy faces? Inconsistencies? Destroying the art direction? Whinge over.

If you want a folding phone that doesn't cost a bazillion dollars & won't let you waste your time or money on 'apps' then have I got good news for you

Now don't get me wrong I love me some Kirby, but let's not lie the best game is still the SNES game. (The golf game Kirby's Dream Course, obviously)

Looking at doorstops (as one does) and found a familiar pose

GOOD NEWS, TERRANOIDS. Brillo comedy adventure Earth Must Die is coming to your PS5 and Switches on September 9th! Chock full of amazing British comedy voice talent including Joel Fry, Martha Howe-Douglas, Tamsin Grieg, @alexhorne.bsky.social, @misterabk.bsky.social and LOADS more.

A quick Street Fighter 6 Akuma/Gouki sketch. I saw a tennis photo which inspired the pose!

Look at how REAL they look! …Comparatively. It was a great way to show the tech progression. Poor wireframe dude.

I did work experience at Future Publishing at a Nintendo magazine and they had an early copy of Perfect Dark. It wasn’t even in a case like this, it was pure naked PCB goodness poking out the N64 held together with rubber bands. Every night we stayed after work to play deathmatches… good times!

Konami used to make fun games

Hmmm… not really sure who this is for. Oh well:

A walkable cyberpunk city in ASCII?! Finally a depiction of a cyberpunk world the way it appears in my minds eye. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yty...

It’s like that bit in the Matrix where the humans blacken out the skies so the robots can’t survive… (don’t do this, it’s awful for many reasons) arstechnica.com/ai/2026/08/n...

My super scientific method to capturing the eclipse worked perfectly…

Inserting foreign objects into my computer. What is this ancient technology?

This same account posted the original SNES release of the same artwork. Great to compare! But these GBA versions have a certain quality to them, they're really nice.

Had a play of this at lunch. It's a notable improvement over the original demo, that's for sure. ...But I'd still rather play the original. Very difficult not to compare this with the Starfox 2026 remake in terms of quality.

The current biggest use of disclosed AI on Steam is 2D images (12% of all releases, 63% of all AI disclosures) among titles released since Jan '24 (when disclosure started). Code remains listed on a number of games, despite Valve dropping the requirement. More data: weloveit.io/developers/a...

A picture of Zool. Anyone remember Zool? Did anyone actually like Zool? I thought I did until I played it again. Cool character, great product placement(?!), awful game.
