This has actually depressed me. You can now use AI to make mash-ups of games installed in your Steam library. youtu.be/jFrRnCGsYnE?...
Yet more great news for the games industry. This has to die. Shame we're not part of the EU and can't sign any petitions FFS. youtu.be/mQRcK9nYg9g?...
Genuinely, no jokes - I know someone who is writing a book about their D.I.C.K. productivity system. Should get together with this guy and produce a F.I.R.M.D.I.C.K. masterclass.

These geniuses really know their customers, eh. And lower costs... did AI become free since I last looked? #GetTheFuckOuttaHere

Replying to @dannyodwyer.bsky.social
Many players don't have much variety in their gaming diet, but I don't think physical/digital has much to do with it IMO. The forever games like Fortnite, CoD, FC, Roblox, etc captured them to the exclusion of almost everything else. These games are doing way more damage overall than media type.

there are loads of reasons why the death of physical is bad news, but I think there are downstream effects that the industry is already suffering from today - that are only going to get worse youtu.be/jGtv_lyaNww

Astro Burn looks great - will certainly be buying. Parodius is an all time fav alongside Harmful Park. Agree, gaming needs more High-Brow Gag & Pure Shooting!
My friend Haz just released Astro Burn in Early Access, a Parodius-style "cute-em-up" that'll put a smile on your face. And we all need to be doing more of that these days.

Oh nice - Good Boy Galaxy is coming to Switch! It's a superb action platformer made for GBA just a couple of years ago - I bought the ROM and played it on my Miyoo Mini Plus. Can't recommend enough 😍 youtu.be/ohdlL1KNNCc?...
