developers who consciously and deliberately give the middle finger to slop will always be that girl 💅🏻 it was so neat to go into every gallery and find every monitor+radio with cool tunes and look at all the graffiti. alan wake 2 and control resonant are clear celebrations of the joys of creation.

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

when I talk about ad-blocking being non-negotiable and ad networks basically running untrusted code in your browser, I have tended to assume I'm being a little bit hyperbolic, but

New this morning: @citizenlab.ca has identified an Israeli ad tech company — one that's placed ads on NBC News — that ran a secret side platform to let spyware companies plant malicious code to hack people browsing those sites. 45 Al Jazeera employees and journalists were infected!

I try not to be too weird about this because it's eye rolly, but something my degree instilled in me was an absolute love of math. It's beautiful. You don't invent proofs, you discover them. They're stitched into reality. These stupid, grasping, craven motherfuckers are taking a dump in my church.

This really expresses the heart of the grief about the way I see my field changing around me. I'm sad to see a world where finding solutions to hard problems doesn't involve creativity or being clever.

New Post: Why I Love AI Next month it'll be twenty years since I went to university, learned to program, and studied AI. I wrote about why I loved it, why I still love it, and why, unfortunately, it no longer exists. www.possibilityspace.org/blog/posts/i...

we are in the reaping phase of the industry gorging itself on dark design patterns

Haus of Decline@hausofdecline.bsky.social

Hit my late 30s & now if I think about playing video games it triggers a disgust response. Don't think this is a universal feeling nor do I think it is a medium without merit. But I'm paralyzed by the thought of how much time I spent on them when I could have been doing something more constructive.

not to do the 'repost stuff from other sites' thing but a friend sent this to me like YES we need uncosiness in games

referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries

Clock in for a full work order on Planet Tian. This gameplay walkthrough covers the Pests you’ll face, the weapons and equipment at your disposal, and the job from deployment to extraction. The job is dangerous. The wildlife is worse. #Exterminauts #CoOpGaming #PvEShooter

so excited to finally be able to share what I've been up to the past few years!!!

Exterminauts@exterminauts.bsky.social

We’re hiring. Punch in for the next shift and take the jobs no one else will touch. Exterminauts is a three-player co-op third-person shooter where blue-collar crews fight through the hottest zones on Planet Tian and stay until the work is done. Punch in. Clean up. Get paid.

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

transnews.networkBoycott The New York TimesFor years The New York Times has relentlessly pushed anti-trans propaganda, playing a significant role in the escalating genocide against us. It's far past time for a call to action: anyone who cares ...

whether it ends up being any good or not, warner has staked far too much for this to be anything other than ubiquitous for the next few years. and really, the quality of the show is irrelevant to its primary mechanical function: giving its creator more leverage to wage a campaign of trans genocide

the harry potter show is likely to be a massive global hit and lead to a cultural revival of the work and its profitability. one should prepare for this

cancel all your heroes. it's not unhinged at all, it's actually the most hinged thing you can do. heroes suck, celebrities suck, rich liberals suck. they will always pick themselves or other cis people over trans people (even the pick mes) and we owe them nothing.

In other words it’s less about the precise moral calculus of playing Wordle or reading HP and more about the general problem that trans people are tired of asking for solidarity and support and getting so little of it, even while we’re under systematic attack.

If you aren’t nice to game developers, we add your SteamID to a list that causes small input mistakes any time you play while connected to the internet. This has never been proven, and everyone should just stop looking into it.

Feeling aroused? With your mobile phone, you have instant access to pornography at any time! But watch out: in some areas it’s considered a faux pas to view a pornograph in public. Make sure to be aware of your surroundings and their special rules. Well, you’re ready to masturbate. Best of luck.

Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

i had a really great time with this game. short enough to play through in a single session but the world design is amazing and it's just such a vibe

I'm so fucking tired of hearing that trans kids need to eat shit. That we need to let lawless bygones be bygones. That data centers get all our water and we just need to adjust to the future. That the Supreme Court is static and we just need to sit there and not have rights.

Un incel qui avait vraisemblablement l'intention de faire un carnage dans les bureaux d'un hébergeur de porno et qui tue un flic dans son élan. Mais dites-nous encore comment les wokes et les antifascistes sont un problème équivalent à l'extrême droite.

When we finally break, it’s taken as proof that we were already broken. I think of this Malcolm X quote often: “…I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.”

Ah so LLMs operate like senior male academics. Who could have envisioned that technology trained on existing texts could operate in a fundamentally conservative nature

Mel Andrews@bayesianboy.bsky.social

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
