People who love games really do hate those who make them
I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

Gonna remember to put you on the next one, in all fairness you should be in our persona 5 striker special edition credits
This is wild, my name's in the credits for Silent Hill: Townfall!?! I know a lot of studios use the Game UI Database, but I think this is the first time anyone's actually put me in the credits because of it 😭 I'm so touched by this!!

That's the biggest problem, productivity wasn't meant for improving the products, it was meant to increase their profits Am guessing a lot of Americans are both mad because of the layoffs but happy because their 401ks /retirement funds are soaring which is a really fucked up situation
So? We are what? Six or twelve months into every single enterprise and web engineer producing at a minimum of 10x; more like 100x if most of them are to be believed. But somehow not a single piece of software has gotten any better? Most has gotten worse. Where is all this productivity going then?

youtu.be/QBKlsg3rWyo?... Me pongo a pensar en la muerte del desarrollo en público y como van a hacerle frente a esto los publishers

Escape from New York, the glider scene. It's '81, a year before Tron revolutionised CG and Carpenter has 1/3 of Tron's budget...so how did he pull off an absurdly sophisticated wireframe simulation?! It's actually a cardboard city painted matte black, lined with reflective tape and lit with UV.
We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.
Fuck Twitter, you won't see me there ever again
I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you
Sadly the days of open development are gone. If you develop your game publicly you are just handing it over to the scrapers. The interesting part here is, let's see publishers asking you to take the risk of "building" wishlists.
How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.

Again, if AI could generate masterpieces, we'd be swimming in them, if tiktok could generate viral videos on its own we'd be drowning in them... A hammer is still a hammer
Konami president Hayakawa believes AI “won’t bring a significant change” to the game market. “Humans” and “creators” are crucial for developing innovative…

THIS the whole thing with decompiling games is just going to make people not want to make games... Because what's the point?
the "agentic" vision of computing is a spam world where everyone has their own personal army of spam bots working 24/7 on their behalf choking everything with spam to try and get one over on the next guy. and that's just not something that can really... exist, long term?
It's what confuses me, they hate AI but also love it? Make up your minds gamers
TIL I am old and not with it. Repackaging a game with all the code and content is not piracy... if AI does it... if AI does it, it is an act of rebellion... And some old dude will then start talking about clean rooms and ignore the sites just straight up offering pirated content... sigh
