the amount of people caping for AI, people i like and respect - bc there is either adopt or die in the decision- makes me want to choose a sea to enter and not exit

People using AI to reverse engineer games to then turn around and publish clones is straight up theft. Why is anyone pretending otherwise? The only thing genAI is good at making is fucking talentless thieves. Prosecute the lot of them. Sue them to hell.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

there will be bots that play the games and write the guides, unfortunately

Alanah Pearce@alanahpearce.bsky.social

If AI takes over video game guides to such an extent that we lose all guide writers... where's it gonna steal the guides from? If nobody's making guides to begin with (because it's no longer profitable, since all of that work is immediately stolen), there's no data for the AI to steal.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

everyone needs access to this movie

Note: TikTok - 15% owned by Musk pal Larry Ellison - permanently banned our "Musk" the movie account on the platform. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Putin has incomparably more influence in the West Wing than he has in eastern Ukraine. Indeed, his only hope in eastern Ukraine sits in the West Wing.

The last time Trump criticized Putin was July 31st 2025, 443 days ago. The last time Trump criticized Zelenskyy is measured in hours, not days. The US taking the side of the aggressor is a truly terrible global strategic signal, and will destabilize the world for years to come.

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

An all-time great video game moment. I'll be thinking about this for years. It's right up there with surviving Hell in Spelunky, one-shotting O&S in Dark Souls, and beating @danryckert.com's disgusting Mario Maker creations.

For weeks, @patrickklepek.bsky.social has been slowly trying—and then retrying—Baby Steps' audacious Manbreaker challenge. It has tried his patience unlike anything else. But last week, he took his last step. And it was beautiful.
