Increasingly Healthy Pope Asserts He Will Soon Be Strong Enough To Battle God https://theonion.com/increasingly-healthy-pope-asserts-he-will-soon-be-strong-enough-to-battle-god/

I'm a dogshit programmer with ADHD that could kill a man but you'll catch me dead in a ditch before I let LLMs touch my projects

the use of "wait" here is legit so slimy. tf you mean wait. devs don't wait, they make the fuckin thing. ooooohhh but if you're a dipshit billionaire exec like tim sweeney is now, i guess you do just WAIT for it, huh?

Input Prompts is the largest collection of glyphs covering a wide range of input devices and platforms. It's also completely free and public domain. 🎮 I want it to be even better though so looking for feedback; what's missing? what can be improved? kenney.nl/assets/input...

oh? ai can't do anything, you say? check THIS out [destroys all beloved websites and software]

holy shit, do you have any idea how many indie games you could make for negative 80 billion dollars?

Next Fest is really demonstrating the curse of the idea guy. Anyone can have an idea or steal one, but to make it good means living with it, working it, exploring it and finding what makes it work and is special. Or you can just have Claude shit out slop no one wants to play. Valve always needs

a cool thing about indie animation is that it's expected to save the entire industry, every show has to look better than the things the fans grew up on or it's a waste of time, there's no union to be found anywhere, no budget for any of it, and asking the audience to pay anything to watch is illegal

and ill say it again

this is my vent art

drew some meowsmer to lower my cortisol before work

Kenney hit the infamous "two billionaires with one post" achievement, remains very rare, also shows once again that money does not equal intelligence, capability, or insight: Kenney is obviously right.

@writnelson.bsky.social I like your videogame :)

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 💖

How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.

The fact that we have to be afraid to market our games because of AI theft is a condemnation of every executive who has pushed for this cancer in our industry and art form. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

The "golden age of gaming" isn't one where the vast majority of people who love games can't afford the equipment to play them and where those who make the games get their ideas (and ability to pay rent) stolen from them.

This might be the best fucking update this platform has received in years

Y'know? I think gamers are more progressive in general from personal experience, but have an over represented cohort of bigoted and hateful assholes because the industry over the past decade has enjoyed having people who'll act as industry attack dogs it weaponizes against employees and critics...

"Programming is hard", writes the company behind Unreal Engine, where coders for decades maintained foundational pieces of engineering underpinning the games industry, admitting that layoffs & sloprot left them unable to code basically an advanced student project store.epicgames.com/news/epic-ga...

Vibe coded programs are extremely dangerous. You have no idea wtf the code is made to do, and neither does the person distributing it. Like sure, it could infect your PC or create backdoors, but also memory leaks, render files unusable, brick it so you can't boot, anything Do not install them

It's a good life.

Restaurant: "Cooking is hard. So, instead of doing that, we bought frozen TV dinners from walmart that will be way faster to prepare and tastier than our current food- all with a new look."

absolutely disgusting to shamelessly gloat about vibecoding your product as you're charging ahead to devalue an entire industry and several art forms with copious amounts of AI confetti hyperslop, depriving real artists and developers of oxygen

I can confirm that this client runs like shit.

Follow me for free game assets (my complete marketing budget went into this post)

i am very critical of nostalgia culture but i think outright being like "you shouldn't be nostalgic about the 2000s because bad things happened that decade too" is a bit reductive since bad things happened, happen and will happen every single day and i think its harmful to only focus on the negative

"windows is fine just run these scripts"

they did the thing

With Unity further leaning into AI slop, a good time for #GameDev to check out godotengine.org

"Direct your dream game" says Unity Y'all game direction is many things but I can guarantee you that "genre + setting" is not game direction for anyone who has been a game director even just for 5 minutes Which should tell you enough about who made this, and whether you should trust them with this

the "adapt or die" people failed to consider the secret third option of forming a neoluddite community where I'm selling my latest video game on usb sticks in a little lemonade stand
