Hey #indiedev pro tip: if you do any kind of giveaway or reward package, keep your records! We did one for GHPC's early access launch in 2022 and still to this day occasionally get people asking if we still have their Steam key reward. Keeping a detailed spreadsheet has allowed us to say yes!

In my day, r/aita stayed on r/aita and didn't show up on major press outlets wrapped in moral smugging.

There was no expectation or requirement for these guys to take a principled stand at this level, and they still did it. I kneel. This is the kind of values-over-profits spirit we need more of in games, or in society in general, for that matter.

Sometimes you see a thing that definitely should have been Figured Out by now, and no, it's just jerry-rigged garbage forever. Like business bank accounts. You would think they support multiple admins, right? Nope! It's a personal account in a trench coat, and everyone past person #1 can suck shit!

If they’re paying someone else to make it: “I demand perfection for my hard-earned money.” If AI makes it: “I made this. It must be exactly what I wanted.”

"Actually it's my right to gin up some falsehood-ridden mess, pass it off as educational content to the detriment of the unfortunate audience it reaches, and enjoy zero consequences." Okay, tell it to the fist.

I can't believe I stuck with Unity for 17 years just for THIS

The video advertising Unity's ew AI-driven autocomplete game maker has 'Mari' who has a game idea they "always wanted to make" and that idea is "Space Corridor" and it looks like this, and that's the strongest argument I can think of for keeping game dev out of the pro-AI crowd's hands.

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

I also think of this immediately whenever someone complains that "rape culture isn't a thing". Yes it fucking is, you're just too insulated and/or complicit to see it.

We've sat through literal decades of fragile whiners going "bro sexism isn't a Thing anymore just shut up about feminism", and then from DAY ONE of the Grok image edit thing existing, its reply feed is just a firehose of men sexually harassing random women for sport

An unexpected shift in my thought process while doing indie game dev is that I now automatically take the devs' side in like 90% of gamer "dramas" I witness regarding design/direction decisions. People complaining about something? "Devs probably had a good reason." Boom, no more attention needed.

This might seem biased and pigheaded. It is, with good reason. Seeing the shit capital-G Gamers get mad about, juxtaposed with the intense labor most devs put in to make their baby the best it can be, I no longer have any qualms about disregarding the screechers. Fuck off and make your own thing!

Pretty often now when I boot up #unity3d I see a banner alert excitedly stating they've set up some new AI integration (in today's case, how they have "day one support" for Meta's new bullshit). It's obvious the company's values are foreign to mine. Will be looking at new engine for my next project.

If (god forbid) this cartoon character piece of shit ever gets onto a presidential ballot, I'm voting third party.

Governor Gavin Newsom used his veto pen over the weekend to ax legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state. www.ebar.com/story/1... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

I really hope Control: Resonant does well. We need studios like Remedy to survive now more than ever. People who are at the top of their craft and have clung to the hope that there's still a place in this world for art for its own sake.

I loved Control and Alan Wake 1/2 and of course I'll be buying the new one when it's out! Can't wait to see how Jesse and Dylan's story unfolds and get a new taste of the weird and wonderful worlds Remedy creates.

Tech wankers are hand-wringing about AI killing us as some farfetched existential threat, but we already know how AI will kill us: by providing excuses for flesh-and-blood humans to pull the trigger. It happened with Lavender and will continue to happen until we stop the humans. Also fuck the IDF.

Getting sick of GTA fans bemoaning "cut content" meaning game features not returning from V, IV, or even older titles. That's not what cut means, motherfucker! Someone has to rebuild all that shit. A game doesn't have to be an endlessly growing blob built on the decaying bodies of its predecessors!

Was reading about 9/11 and learned a devastating fact. Josephine Harris was the lady who survived the second collapse with 6 rescuing firefighters in stairwell B (they credit her slow pace with saving them). When she died in 2011, FDNY showed up to her funeral to carry her one last time. Fuck, dude.
