weird bug. maybe try writing the code next time instead of paying $500000 to watch the computer fail at it

synching is a little bad but here's a muppet I just made. included my hands to show you the control scheme. pressure sensitive right trigger operates the mouth. when released the mouth is open. this means that my hand movements on the controller match where their position would be in a hand puppet

I don't understand what this game is, all I know is every few years ubisoft releases increasingly unsettling images of this john pork mf and "joseph gordon levitt" is involved somehow. what does any of this have to do with nietzsche

GameRant@gamerant.bsky.social

According to a new report, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still in development, but its future is more uncertain than ever.

please ftlog do not begin your one and only steam next fest demo with 900 unskippable screens of text glacially fading in and out in a quirky font

I would like to go to the options and increase the text speed but the options are on the other side of this opening diatribe. even rattling the space bar for several minutes doesn't make a dent. do you know how many demos people are trying to get through here man this is untenable

Like, is the biggest threat to cybersecurity the mere existence of LLMs, or is it the existence of companies like OpenAI with basically unlimited resources and an incentive to create large security incidents essentially as a marketing stunt?

I'm sure it's good that over the past several days I have seen multiple vibecoding people say their individual versions of "yeah this is like playing a slot machine for me and I find it hard to stop and I love that actually"

sounds bad. I hear three billion devices run java

ORACLE YOU CAN'T BE DROPPING A CVSS 9.1 IN JAVA 8+ RIGHT NOW I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD

I'm now at the point where I'll accept no victory condition other than turning the machine off. it's not just the presence of AI slop everywhere, it's the fact that now no-one in art spaces can trust eachother, and the constant paranoia

yeah man you get to wave away the environmental impact of your ai use when you’re not the one actively seeing the city you grow up in slowly sink into the seawater

Aura/Moom@moomanibe.bsky.social

I'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...

tim sweeney moving to C++ gave the world an incompatible stitched-together quasi-C++ dialect, moving to "open-source" resulted in the janky UE5 source-available license, and moving to 3D originated the boldly iconoclastic "Y axis goes sideways" coordinate system

industry analysts breathlessly await the reveal of what new engineering abnormalities his embrace of AI engenders. perhaps a neural network that runs on blood

Today Rockstar bosses are taking the stand in the employment tribunal to answer allegations of union-busting. Outside, fired GTA worker Bran shared a message for the people who, last October, fired her and 30 of her colleagues without warning, due process or right of appeal.

I can confirm that this client runs like shit.

Aftermath@aftermath.site

In the same day Epic announced a complete overhaul of anticheat on Linux and a buggy launcher that they claim is vibe coded. aftermath.site/epic-anticheat...

you got this far without it. did you forget how to work the computer

Rock Paper Shotgun@rockpapershotgun.bsky.social

"We vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher" because "programming is hard", announce company we're somehow supposed to see as a serious Steam competitor https://bit.ly/4hMHbi5

did you lose all your programmers down the back of the sofa. or perhaps in an ill-advised layoff adventure

can do

Joshua Rivera@jmrivera.bsky.social

personally think if the line is going to be “no gen ai in anything” then the you might have to consider divesting from AAA games entirely because this is just what the industry is now, whether they admit it so publicly or not

"but every indie game will–" it's actually incredibly easy to just not use this stuff. every indie game will not

Replying to @kerrblimey.bsky.social

I also want Vertical Slice to evolve beyond the confines of a traditional paper. That's why I'm launching The Repository, a growing (free) collection of pitch decks and design docs donated by generous contributors including @kitfoxgames.com, @outersloth.com, and @outerloopgames.bsky.social.

verticalslice.newsWelcome to The Repository: A burgeoning (totally free) treasure trove of dev documentsSharing is caring.

the official bluesky account is astroturfing AI-generated videogame-like products into its followers' timelines to make them "go viral"

dogg hop on Space Corridor. get into Unearthly Vestibule. yeah we're all playing Orbital Passage. you gotta check out Vacuum Tube

Dan Marshall@danthat.bsky.social

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.
