Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Dwarf Fortress creator Tarn Adams is as tired of genAI in the industry as anyone else, and is pretty set on never using it https://bit.ly/47cqGpr

no game dev skill is more important than making up your fuckin mind

fucking same dude

yeah sure whatever, let lara croft cook potato stew on her phone for 2m0s of damage resistance who gives a shit anymore

Oh fun, someone put our keyart through an image generator and I’m seeing it doing the rounds. If you see a slopified version of any of our art out there, ignore and know it’s not our doing.

This is true of all art, really.

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

What if I told you that all of the Publishing Agreements I have reviewed in the last 6 months (several dozen) included a no gen AI provision, wherein the use of gen AI in development is a material breach, but companies like Epic and EA are still trying to convince us the industry is cool with it

Proud to announce the next game Vampirium: 1997 Dracula is king of the United British Empire. Kill his enemies and find your own path through a minimalist immersive sim sandbox. Wishlists and retweets massively appreciated (and, you know, massively helpful) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

A look back at an old usenet conversation about Morrowind shortly after its release, showing people battling to get the game to run at 10 FPS.

This is also marriage.

Even in a world where LLM never existed this is solid mentoring

www.pcgamer.com/games/action... A heartfelt thank you to AAA Companies for creating a point of difference that indies can claim at no extra cost. Simply by continuing to make games with intent and reliable tools, we can show our audience respect, and be respected as professionals in return.

Youtubers making fun of the gaming ability of games journalists

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Only just now getting to properly explore the Shivering Isles in Oblivion Remastered and fuck me

ASMR channels got fucking nothing on this guy

Hey hey! I recently did a whole bunch of portraits for #dwarffortress, but a lot of people deemed them a bit too silly, or questioned why the unicorn looked the way it did. I've spent the last weeks updating them all to be more realistic and 'neutral' in tone, check out some of my neat animals.

The fact this still goes around so much

Mick Foley with more integrity than the entire WWE roster

I think about Swen Vincke's speech from the Game Awards 2024 often. How mind-numbingly simple his postulations are and how crazy it is that they still need to be said, and how it feels like a breath of fresh air when they are. The edit in 2034 with all the GOTYs with this audio is gonna go so hard

$1 million for a Game Awards Trailer is a way over my budget. So, I'm going to post my Cat train idle game here for free and reposting is free as well! What a great deal!

Can officially announce that the @highrollersdnd.bsky.social Altheya campaign setting is coming to Kickstarter Q1 2026 in partnership with Roll & Play Press! Rollandplaypress.com/highrollers A classic high-fantasy setting with Draconic nobles & new takes on fantasy favourites! #dnd #ttrpg #dnd5e

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

HEY SEVERAL PUBLISHERS, PICK UP ROMERO GAMES' PROJECT AND THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WILL LIKE YOU. MAYBE SOME YOUTUBER WILL MAKE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HOW YOU SAVED ONE OF HIS FAVORITE STUDIOS. JUST SAYING.

MY FIRST GAME ANNOUNCEMENT I’ve been contributing narrative to Thousand Hells and I couldn’t be more excited for everyone to play!!

An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.
