What the hell kind of stuff is going on in Tim Sweeny's mind? Opinion on Linux has basically 180'd but now he's also an AI shill? Why can this man never make sense?

developers, is this a concern for you when it comes to next fest or any other sort of demo? has it influenced your recent decision making? if so, get in touch. DMs are open, email is nathan@aftermath.site, and I’m nathangrayson.666 on signal

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 💖

I think part of the reason I've been on such a kick with the #keiseki #Trails jrpgs is that #Falcom games are still in the state of pretty high quality AA but still not quite AAA level, which I think is a MUCH healthier place for games to be in.

I'm gonna build a phone case attachment to deal with with my hardware gripes on #GrapheneOS because god forbid I want privacy AND more than a single USB port at all times. Gonna slap together a bunch of de-shelled dongles & glue them into a 3D printed housing, & slap that on the back of my case

I hate that such good software #GrapheneOS is stuck on hardware I absolutely HATE using. Dongles suck, I want my headphone jack back, I'm stuck with only 64GB of space, and I miss having a stylus. I may go back to a Moto G Stylus with #LineageOS and #MicroG instead just to have an SD card again

Michigan, Wisconsin and Utah all tried to pass VPN restrictions this past year. We should expect even more this year: I'm already hearing about new bills being planned in other states, including one that would make it a felony to bypass age-verification using VPN. This isn't about protecting kids.

What the HELL is all this GAY SHIT on my timeline?!?! ...cuz its cute as fuck. Keep doing it 👍

I am now considered a child (teen) on #Discord. No I will not share my ID for your AI database bullshit. I hate the modern internet, THIS DOES NOT MAKE KIDS SAFE

Oh yeah so I'm gonna record stuff again. Like actually, no more years of no videos and poor streams (let's be honest my streams have SUCKED lately) Thinking of finally doing long videos rather than heavily edited stuff because god knows I don't have mich free time anymore

@aloemoonflwr.bsky.social Hey Aloe! I'm curious to know if you'd be down to talk about your experience using Linux as a VTuber in depth. I'm working on making some new content around how far it's come and I'd love to hear more from a new user. (Is this how people do outreach stuff??)

"Rules for thee but not for me"

VGC@videogameschronicle.com

Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

While I have 0% faith that this is actually happen, it would be SO FUCKING FUNNY if the next #Xbox swapped to physical games being fully on the disc (unlike the current ones which are mostly just download codes on a disc) as a "Fuck you" to Sony and #PlayStation. It won't, but it'd be funny

Just got reminded of gen:LOCKED and OH MY GOD THAT SHOW STILL PISSES ME OFF It had an incredible 1st season, followed by THE ABSOLUTE WORST SEASON 2 I HAVE EVER SEEN, HOLY SHIT HOW THE FUCK DID YOU SCREW UP THAT BAD??? #genLOCKED #RoosterTeeth #RWBY

I wish I was rich so I could pay a bunch of artists to just draw more of what they're already drawing but I get full res versions to use as wallpapers. Art is cool.

I think I've come to realize that I... Don't like #FinalFantasyVIIRebirth ...At all. I don't care about the characters, I don't like the story, and I absolutely HATE the combat. I think I'm done with it.

I am so fucking burnt out. I barely stream anymore amd I havn't made a video in 2 years. This current job quite literally sucks the soul out of you and I spend 3 days doing absolutely nothing (I don't even get out of bed half the time) to feel slightly better, just to do it all over again. I hate it

-IMPORTANT- Gumroad has recently updated their website with the intention of phasing out the ability to manually edit your storefront and allowing you to only edit your storefront via AI agents. I will be dropping gumroad support entirely in the near future. More to come as I sort things out.

I need to make a 2nd account for following artists. Very good art but GOOD GOD YOU PEOPLE ARE HORNY ON MAIN, I CAN'T OPEN THIS APP AT WORK ANYMORE! 😂

Age verificatiom completely falls on its face when you realize that all a pedo needs to do is not show an ID on something like Discord and now they're limited to ONLY spaces with potential victims WOW SUCH GREAT SECURITY!!!

I hate living in a world were things like "hey maybe we should NOT kill children" or "how about we just let gay and trans people live their lives?" gets shat on like somehow YOU'RE the evil one for even thinking that would be okay

Went to McDonalds and decided to seem how many calories would be in the #McCrelly meal JESUS FUCK IT'S LIKE 3500 IN A SINGLE MEAL!!! HOW THE FUCK DO SHE EAT ALL OF THAT?! #Vtuber #Crelly

THIS WHAT I KEEP TELLING PEOPLE!!! These aren't video game companies anymore: they're corporate investment firms that just happen to makes video games as a side effect.

points at sign: THE GAMES INDUSTRY’S CUSTOMER IS THE STOCK MARKET, NOT THE GAMER Live service games are seen as ‘worth the risk’ because when one blows up (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA Online) it makes so much money that it covers all previous failures and more. What gamers say is irrelevant to this.

Jesus, my backlog is so damn long, and I can only play low power turn based stuff at work to help burn through it. I'm running out of those, I getting down to only my actions games I can't play at work lmao

My guys. The industry's in a doom cycle largely BECAUSE OF AI. Who the hell hell is sitting around thinking "Hmm, the industry's in the shitter because of the overwhelming amount of slop, I know what'll fix this! AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF SLOP!"

GamesIndustry.biz@gibiz.bsky.social

Three Epic veterans are building an AI-powered game engine to break the industry's doom cycle. Amid mounting discontent with Unity and Unreal, Immens promises lower costs and faster development for small teams. https://bit.ly/4xRY14m

#HaydenPanettiere is soul crushing, Kingdom Hearts is one of my all time favorite series ever, I have so many fond memories with her voice as Kairi...
