Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

What an awful weekend for wrestling fans.

Oh my god, I hope the upcoming changes to Marathon work out: aftermath.site/marathon-bungi...

as someone who saw ed sheeran show support for my country and let my people tell our story, i am beyond disappointed by his recent statements. if you factor commercial safety into a decision to support a cause, you cannot be assumed to genuinely support any cause.

summer is like half a month since over and i still ain't spun this post-summer banger smh youtu.be/ViFHruS6oO8

what zelda will look like in 2026

idk why people are ripping on the new style i think it looks great

whenever 2027 comes around im making it the year of yaoi, that is my promise

the blood of dawnwalker runs like shit but god the writing is incredible

It has been a while since I've given a shout-out to Corru Observer. It remains one of the coolest things you can play in your browser. Initially, a xenofiction visual novel. You're a hacker, tasked with infiltrating the mind of an alien biocomputer dredged up from the ocean floor. It goes places.

Video game companies keep trying to bait and switch us with AI, and it sucks aftermath.site/1666-amsterdam...

whatever i am currently making, i want it to feel something like this.

i don't care whether what you say is true or not, just sell me more pens, mister "pens, japan" guy on shorts

zombocom being domain sniped and replaced with AI bullshit still makes me so mad

i watched 12 hours of gamergate content this weekend and it does not feels like those 12+ hours were well spent.

i think there is something wrong with my screensaver

Activision or Steam need to do something about Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3. It really is not safe for them to be selling a popular entry in a HUGE series that has gigantic security holes including full Remote Code Execution flaws. By doing nothing more than logging in, someone can take over your PC.

I am begging websites to remember they are read by human beings, who possess at least some small amount of dignity: aftermath.site/video-game-mov...

Though VHOLUME and CICADAMATA" are tonally very different, both games are incredible indie explorations of movement in space that will bring out your inner speedrunner. aftermath.site/vholume-and-ci...

Heatwarped Demo is exactly how you'd expect an indie take on NFSU2 to look, and it feels like a very enjoyable fever dream. The demo is relatively short, but the experience is spot on and I had a great time; I didn't expect the game to handle this well and be so polished.

god i hate that i maxed my stats into a field full of nazis and insane people, fuck the techbros so much

david graeber lowkey with that tim sweeney swag

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

I'm going to take a lesser cynicism here and assume the majority of them are bullshitting. 'We're fully AI-integated!' is catnip for the idiot investor crowd. You want your project funded, you say the magic/stupid words. And if they ask HOW you're integated, you can just say 🤷'Conceptualization!'🤷

WHY are doctors ignoring the InfoWars contagion? WHERE is Fauci?

i have too many notes to sort thru it feels like eternity lol maybe i will do something once i go thru them all

to avoid talking about anyone specific, i am really fucking tired of people of any kind playing defense for lolicon, but especially those who are trying to frame it as a civil rights/free speech issue and/or forcibly attach it to queer identity [that shit's gross btw]

first time i heard kavinsky was in 2007 when he opened for daft punk. it was a duo DJ set with sebastiAn. i remember hearing Grand Canyon on that kinda setup and feeling like i'd heard something for the future. had that EP on repeat for weeks after what a loss. guy who helped define a sound forever

apparently it's been 6 days since i stopped being british

i feel like setting up chinese and japanese keyboard layouts on linux alongside latin/cyrillic involves needless amount of pain. why can't it be plug-and-play like it is on windows and mac at all times?

good read that goes into the nature of recomps in order to give you some in-the-field examples of why vibe coding is generally not a great idea

Folks struggling to make it as indies should probably read this: klangmag.co/lifers-dayjo... Also he only mentions rich kids and day jobbers, but there's also "has a spouse with a good job", "their parent died and left them just enough to get ahead" and "managed to pay off house so don't have rent"

Saw a couple of posts from US artists saying BSky is now asking them for age verification. Please follow the link in this repost. I’m the UK we’ve had this crap going on for over a year. The methods listed here work great, it’s what I use it (no way I’m providing personal info!)

For some people, video games are about the wonder of exploring strange, thrilling, action-packed worlds but for me the joy of video games has always been all about moving to a franchise-centric planning strategy to better focus resources on long-term growth and stability amid broader restructuring.

both of those articles are about how discs are fragile and unsafe, poor for digital preservation, and they argue for either 1) a return of cartridges (polygon) or 2) true ownership of data without DRM & platform locks (gizmodo) but you'd have to read more than the headline to find that out i guess
