I scoffed at the doomerisms just over a year ago. Now I think articles like this underestimate what we’re on the verge of. The scope of destruction as software and related services lose all value is going to be catastrophic.
I’ve been extremely skeptical of Gen AI because it’s controlled by a a very few privileged people who steal from creators and experts to sell back to anyone. At one point, nobody will be able to sell anything as AI will rip off #gamedev & any software in hours. Grim. www.404media.co/video-game-r...
This has obviously been the goal for a while now but to have a company that seemed to take pride in hiring knowledgeable people say this is pretty wild to me.
NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

See a weapon. Grab it. Use it. Throw it. Keep moving. This is I Am Your Beast VR, a fast-paced covert revenge FPS built around momentum, improvisation, and split-second decisions. OUT NOW on SteamVR: store.steampowered.com/app/3844740/...
There's a few things I've been working on in the showcase today. Check it all out if you're a VR fan.
🥳 The VR Games Showcase is back TODAY! 🥳 📺️ Tune in for... 🔫 PAYDAY 👹 Rustmourne 🕴️ Gunman Contracts 🥥 Bootstrap Island 💥 COVR 😱 New Flat2VR Studios Reveals And MORE. Pre-show at 10:50am PT, full show starts 11am: buff.ly/28S1jRb
This is what I've been up to recently. This really is a blast to play in co-op - and I helped get the crossplay working for it. Go grab a copy!
Roboquest VR is out today on Meta Quest 3 and 3S, alongside a same-day update enabling cross-platform co-op on Quest, SteamVR, and PlayStation VR2. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/roboquest-vr...
That establishment Dems are saying this shows that they are finally getting the message. Do they actually believe it? Will they do anything about it this time? Or is it just part of their electoral strategy? Lucy holding out the football again.
Buttigieg: Our political and economic and social systems have been letting us down for a long time. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here. That old status quo, all of that is what led to all of this which is why there's no going back.
Valve tricked us by copying the Nintendo Switch and making the Steam Deck a pretty cool piece of hardware. Honestly, I don't get how this will appeal to Steam enthusiasts over a customizable PC. But this is an omen for brutal PS6 and XBOX WHATEVS pricing.
Steam Machine 512GB is $1,049.00 buff.ly/L2QgLVy 2TB with Controller $1,428 buff.ly/TW3rHgW
The retro challenges on this are absurdly easy. The DK Bonanza challenges (time/developer) are crazy hard. I love what Nintendo is doing here, but they need to fix the overall balance. Also - the integration points are great on retro, but nonexistent on Bonanza. I hope they evolve this idea.
The limited-time DK Challenge event is on now! Active #NintendoSwitchOnline members can clear challenges from across the Donkey Kong series to earn digital Challenge Cards until Sept 1 at 12:59am PT. Learn more: ninten.do/6014viP5K
These studios are fantastic groups of experts that know how to make games. Sad that even very wealthy companies no longer provide stability these days.
BREAKING: Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. Lots still in flux as many studios remain unsure about what's happening. Here's the latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
As a UCF alum, I can definitely appreciate these students that just spent thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours not embracing an AI replacement narrative.
this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

My partner and best friend Kyle suffered from two strokes last week. We need your help. gofund.me/e25c60dfb Anything helps, a like, a share, a donation. thank you for your support during this difficult time ❤️
Proud to have had the opportunity to help bring this to Steam and Rift. It’s funny and entertaining and worth playing if you’ve got a VR headset. I assume it works on Quest Link too but I haven’t tried.
Happy (slightly belated) birthday to Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin! It turned 9 this past Saturday and we hope you celebrate by using your favorite psychic power for good today!

This impossible game from the studio behind one of 2019's best puzzlers is already melting my brain - and proves VR still has the power to amaze www.eurogamer.net/this-impossi...
This is a reminder that my VR game Hotel Infinity came out recently. It was quite interesting to work on and we produced a pretty unique and interesting roomscale experience. If you've got a Quest or PSVR2 headset, definitely grab a copy and let me know what you think! hotelinfinityvr.com

@misterbigpants.bsky.social achievement unlocked! Jeff Minter played your game! Love this for you.

This is all it's gonna take right now. The head of the DoE (Linda McMahon) will comply with this executive order and begin shutting it down. By the time any courts show any willingness to step in, all critical personnel will be gone. And even then, all funding will be turned off by DOGE as well.
Trump on the Department of Education: "We're gonna shut it down and shut it down as quickly as possible. It's doing us no good. We want to return our students to the states."
