DeSert StreaM (202/202!!!!!)

it's over

to me the existential threat posed by AI slop games is less "AI slop games will steal our sales" and more "the onslaught of AI slop and the exhaustion over having to second guess every new game will make people mentally check out from supporting new games at all and retreat to their backlogs"

This is another reason why AI losers have gotten into retro decomp/recomp projects. Nobody wants to play AI slop games, so they have to reinforce the value of AI by producing something desirable, which in this case is just repackaging the work of actual talented people.

found the time to doodle poco and apoco as well ❤️ #unbeatable

youtu.be/FBW36eBbQR0 my most effortful video, although it's 9h long so I don't expect anyone to actually watch all of it

Can yall please stop playing fortnite now

idk who is using catapults in 2026 but support animal rights

SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵

well that fucking sucks

the republicans are wide open on several fronts, historically unpopular president, unpopular war, record high gas. any dem throwing trans people under the bus at this moment is doing it because they want to. not like they need to, do they. even if it worked as a vote winner, which it doesn't

it's a trap to ever listen to liberals tell you it 'isn't the right time' to talk about trans rights or about abolishing ICE or about the genocide in palestine. because there's never a right time. it will always be too close to the next election or too soon after the last election.

nice 2 hour hundo

Fine, I'll do it myself.

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

This is awesome

fuck robtop

Can we just call machine learning machine learning and not stick "AI" in there. Machine learning has existed for decades, but I've never heard someone call it "AI" before a few years ago. I just can't see it as innocent anymore, sorry. There's too much money and influence involved.

72.2% of all unbeatable players never even make it to the end of the story mode. RT if you are always beating it to completion

i want games made by people who get to keep their jobs

discord.gg/akC7bBdaU I have a discord btw I don't use it much but hopefully It'll be more active soon since I'm planning on streaming more again

you ever just

Keighley's disinterest in excluding AI trailers really devalues the whole thing. These events are rarely to my taste, but the experience of watching "ONL" was one of watching slop. Even non-AI games are tainted by the association — we have to second-guess, every time.

All I want is a dark game with amazing combat where I can play as a badass anime woman that ISN'T mobileslop filled with microtransactions and multiplayer bullshit but apparently that's too much to ask thanks a lot gamescom

decided to come back to kaizo galaxy 2, have some rage/funny moments/jank from last night

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

...do thumbnails count

After a 3 year long journey and 2000 hours of playtime, today I am finally premiering my most important video yet. youtu.be/Vnab7GVdnGM

when I was younger I feel like I was a pretty fast learner and now I am legitimately one of the mentally slowest people I know, idk what happened :(

If you enjoy playing video games in the US you should be paying attention to this and contacting your reps if you're into that sort of thing or like personal rights or whatever.

this is the worst selection of words ever, I hate this. Darmstadtium is cool at least? mic drop and clapback? level up maybe. but like seriously? I got SARS and kek and GILF 😭

to all the chucklefucks who said age verification wasnt a big deal, and that censorship is fine and cool, i present: my case for why it is not

i know i'm preaching to the choir on this site of all sites, but i really think young queer people being active on twitter should be considered a form of self-harm in the same way that we generally understand 4chan is bad for you. because twitter is basically 4chan at this point

i think it's important for people to remember that puberty blockers *were* the "moderate, compromise" position.

I got asked about AI in games again! I think we underestimate how, while AI use is more rampant in the East than the West, our protections against it here are dramatically worse.

I feel like people have forgotten that ad blockers weren't popular because people just wanted to get something for free, it's because we can't trust ads not to fuck up our computers. If we still just had quiet simple banner ads or sideboard ads, ad blockers wouldn't have gotten as much traction.

Are they "confused" or are they neo-puritans who can't handle an overtly queer story that's been around since 1989

Sin that must be eternally punished is a culturally Christian idea that you can and should reject. If someone admits wrongdoing and changes their behavior, that's the desired outcome. You don't continue to punish because you then signal there's no point to contrition at all, you're damned either way

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

speaking generally, I think the no. 1 thing you can do as a cis ally is help a trans woman get a job
