I think games should be treated like music. You wouldn't want a new Foo Fighters album by artists who aren't in the Foo Fighters trying to sound like Foo Fighters. It might not be quite the same thing, but it should be, no?

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

The absolute state of opening a new page on eBay to search for something, being bombarded with these eyesores.

Imagine waking up, not seeing a single AI slop poster online or on a shop window, not hearing about AI all day, and no app on your phone pushing AI junk in your face. Those were the days.

Music Magpie sent me this Drenge album, that's clearly been heavily water damaged, the gatefold doesn't open and the booklet is like rigid cardboard. The irony is, the album is called Undertow. Sent in a complaint.

Just wondering.. what's to stop people from buying a full game from steam, cloning it and then getting a refund within the time period allowed?

Morgan Lockhart@mizdoomcookie.bsky.social

So apparently now indie devs cannot put their demos up because people will use Claude code to clone them. Public models, no less. What a fucking dystopia.

There must be some other people out there other than myself and my gf who think this Unified Theory album is a banger. More than anything, I think it flew under everyone's radar.

It's weird how some people are okay with this. If a musician put out a new record but there's no actual vinyl/CD inside and it's just collectables, would people be okay with that?

The future of PlayStation is full of hot air. Not just from their Earth-boiling cloud servers but also inside such perversely empty boxes of tat. What are we doing here, people?

What's the most you've ever spent on a digital PSN game? I think the most I ever have is £20 and my maximum is usually around £12. I don't like spending too much because I often buy games I regret buying, including physically (but at least I can sell those on).

(For the record, it's not from a lack of research, I can watch gameplay all day long and not tell exactly if I'm going to like how it feels to play it.)

It's such a weird feeling that sometime next year there just will eventually be no new PS5 physical games and my PS5 will probably just be used for the games I already own... and I find myself looking into alternatives, like do I buy an Xbox, or a Switch 2?

When you take a little break from working on your game for a while and then catch the flu (2 days before the appointment for a flu jab) and are too ill to even think about working on the game. I'm better now, hopefully I can resume tomorrow!

When playing a game with a custom character creator feature, our "haircut" is always supported. Gotta think of the benefits of being bald.

Honestly feeling quite burned out on my project, so messing about with Unity instead. Chucked in a house and phonebooth I made ages ago but with low resolution textures, all viewed through a low resolution filter. Chunky!

9 albums that shaped my music tastes

*dodgy

Matt@becausebecause.bsky.social

Just played the Dynasty warriors 3 remastered demo, this is exactly what I wanted! Same music, dody voice acting but nicer graphics, increased frame rate and resolution. Then I find out there's no physical release in the West. Argh!!!

90s video game comms: guys our console has the HYPER REALITY ENGINE it will make you get a BONER unless your GAY buy it NOW 20s video game comms: our next steps in ensuring our commitment to our platform and players remains as strong as ever within this landscape (we are firing 268 people)

(Context: AI) I feel like we all need to agree on a better analogy for AI, such as I wish we could put the turd back in a rich man's ass but that ass just keeps on churning out more and more shit

I do wish we could put the genie back into a lamp but I don't think that's possible anymore.

Remember when The Orville season 1 was a bit too daft comedy and toned it down for seasons 2 and 3 and it was much better for it? Strange New Worlds has gone in the opposite direction.

After a brilliant episode of Strange New Worlds last week, I see we are back to the gimmicky silliness again. Me and my partner couldn't watch anymore after about 7 minutes in.

Wow, this is the immersive Shenmue 3 experience I was hoping for, to taste that delicious black onion every 5 minutes just like Ryo does himself #Shenmue3 #Shenmue

I see The Proclaimers have a new album coming out and they must have figured the only way they can get media coverage is by being transphobic little shits.

My dad showed me this birdhouse model of a coffee shop and I borrowed it and recreated it in Blender. Why? I don't know, it was fun, is that weird? 😅 I found a way to use it in my game as a literal model of a "coffee shop" so it's not a waste of time either now.
