Gamedev subreddits are not usable anymore... Every other post is AI slop, full of pro-AI comments that think the only reason someone would not use or avoid AI is because they are afraid of being replaced. They don't value art, or human expression, they only value money.

Gamedev subreddits are not usable anymore... Every other post is AI slop, full of pro-AI comments that think the only reason someone would not use or avoid AI is because they are afraid of being replaced. They don't value art, or human expression, they only value money.

"You have your head in the sand", "nobody cares if you use AI", "everything is made with AI now", "AI is just a tool"... Just an endless stream of cliche excuses on why their AI use is justified, and how their AI generated thing is better and worth people spending time and money on consuming.

We started Team Lazerbeam to make games that were handcrafted, human and full of soul. 12 years into our game dev journey, that mission feels more important than ever. Thank you to everyone thatโ€™s cheering us on in our quest to bring this game to life, one line at a time! ๐Ÿ’–

#my9games For me, video games are most fun when playing with friends, so I really love multiplayer games, especially MMORPGs. Lots of memories playing these games after school until my parents forced me to go to bed... and the best Kirby game ๐Ÿ™‚

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! ๐Ÿ’ž

Hi I'm a AAA dev who is now indie. It's a depressing time, and it would be uplifting to see games industry folks boycott The Game Awards. Later this year Geoff is going to be handing awards to people who literally use plagiarism machines, after unheard of layoffs. Please just don't go.

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.

disconnect.blogGetting off US tech: a guideIโ€™m in the process of dropping US tech services. Hereโ€™s how I did it, and options you should consider.

pro-tip: check your disk usage... KDE's search index was running non-stop for the last 2 months, writing almost 200GB to my NVME, and using 17% of it's expected lifetime usage ๐Ÿฅ€ especially with hardware prices being so crazy atm #linux #kde
