i'm so tired of the retro gaming/modding/emulation scene rn. It's full of slop, llm-assisted shit and so on
Everytime I see a post:
- look at this new port/mod/patch i made for this game!
- links to a github
- claude is a contributor OR repo is 1 month old with no prior repos from the user
before anyone says i'm ungrateful for the retro/port/emulation works: I am grateful for the REAL people who worked on learning all these stuff before LLM was widespreadly used. They laid the work
But all this slop stupid and also dangerous as often, not tested enough (if tested at all lol)

A funny variant is the github user saying "i have decades of experience in the dev scene, full stack developer, mastermind webdev, i am the best programmer of all time, I use ai bc I can understand all the code 😎"
And... they're promoting a shit service they built with AI lol
I know I've been pushing our demo hard, but its one of the few/only venues available.
Steam Next Fest will reshuffle demos based on engagement tomorrow. If you can, please leave a short review on Steam! This helps a ton with GRIDHACK finding it's audience.

Mice in a museum?
"In the wider cultural context, the mouse is dated 1818, which is co-incidentally the date of publication of Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein ‘, a larger-scale speculation on man’s ability to re-create life and living movement..."

Prerolled is made by another dev friend @qaqelol.bsky.social , it's a roguelike dice(deck)builder, I love roguelite games, it's addictive to play, the art is incrediblely cute and I just can't wait for the release!!
store.steampowered.com/app/4476380/...
Fox Stamps is made (again) by another dev friend @cyansorcery.com , a more classic nonogram game but it has a lot of QOL features, so if you need to scratch that Nonogram itch go for it!! It's also super cute!
store.steampowered.com/app/4802880/...
GRIDHACK is made by a dev friend @philipdrobar.northsky.social , it's a nonogram adventure game where you fight programs by solving puzzles! If you want a challenge and to be stressed while solving nonograms try it please, it's thrilling to play!!

I found this asset: superhivemarket.com/products/ver...
I got it earlier, while it is not perfect, at least it works for what I want to do, and I can use that for now!
anybody knows of a cool tool for blender to apply vertex color to vertex selections (not painting) as well as vertex alpha and being able to properly visualize both color AND alpha in the viewport?
And not vibe coded 😩

I deprecated all my asset packs from the unity asset store, fyi I had 12 of them: 4 free, 8 paid
My revenue from sales is lower now (around 100-150$US per month now), I can afford to take that hit now but that wasn't always the case
got this email from unity just now, enabling one of my asset pack to be scrapped by their unity spark by default
@unity.com , don't do this????? should be opt in not opt out
I started making and selling assets in 2014 (!!!) it was a way for me back then to earn a bit of cash bc I had trouble finding jobs in games, sexism was insane and I struggled to keep any job just bc the conditions were shit
I'm glad I can say f you to unity and remove them but it SUCKS!!
maybe i'll put them back online somewhere else at some point...
I'm learning godot now, so maybe on the godot store, or on itch, idk yet, it's a lot of work to maintain these
got this email from unity just now, enabling one of my asset pack to be scrapped by their unity spark by default
@unity.com , don't do this????? should be opt in not opt out
Also the process is awful and not clear, I can't find how to disable the whole package instead of going object by object lol (yes I clicked everywhere to try)
Also "itemize"... just say scrapped by ai, be real
i've been feeling like shit on and off for more than a year now due to a health issue that I can't find a fix even with doctors (prob misdiagnosed)
it's not life threatening but it's affecting my quality of life/sleep and I'm really tired and not able to focus a lot on work due to that
I maybe found the cause and am trying things myself now and waiting each day to see how it evolves
I'm just so done, one day I feel like I'm doing better and the next it's the opposite... fingers crossed that I'm going to be better soon
some days I just want to sleep through the whole day
For nearly two years, I've been investigating a pattern of ominous legal letters sent to journalists by defamation counsel representing Bobby Kotick.
That investigation is finally live.

#RodentOfTheDay Algerian Mouse (Mus spretus)
"The word spretus means in Latin "reduced" and makes reference to the fact that the Algerian mouse is smaller than the house mouse."

When I see devs talking about and defending themselves using genAI I see them like a mr beast or the Paul brothers. You may find success but I’m never going to engage with what you make but I’ll definitely call it out for a net negative for the industry you’re helping to push for in the long run.
I've been looking into old PalmOS/Mobile PC games (long story) and big respects to Astraware for providing copies of their games on internet archive, as well as ways to unlock them on PalmOS through PalmDB!!!
Great goals for game preservation
ofc there is a massive work done by the community to save all these apps and games, I just like to see a publisher being dedicated to make their games available years after
