I just released an early demo version of 'Maybe... I'll go to the beach' on @itch.io hope you like it! link: bilgetbd.itch.io/maybe-ill-go...

this is how i got a free chair and a preview of Peak, it was a fun day! I was working on my parkour game at the time and was flabbergasted at how they did FPS arms and legs for Peak and asked if I could steal the idea and they said sure :) I finally implemented it today!!! youtu.be/tKnLeuDdHQ8

I'm heading to Seoul soon and need to purchase a monitor and a chair for my time there. Unfortunately, I won't be able to take them with me when I depart. Does anyone know someone in Seoul who would appreciate a free chair and monitor?

Billionnaires are obsessed with justifying their wealth with the idea that it "trickles down" because it litterally haunts them when any of it does

Folks should try to stay aware of how the reasoning behind the enshittification they hate pretty much always amounts to some version of "someone with lots of money whose job is just owning things wanted to make sure they didn't have to pay people with very little money who did all the actual work"

Ah so the tense suspenseful ambiant sound they have in the dystopian movies was supposed to be intradiegetic, got it.

This is what living next door to a 30 megawatt data center sounds like.

I just spent the past month looking at and writing legal documents, dealing with a pretty bad situation. I've finally reached a satisfying agreement, I feel exhausted but at least I can look back at this as an insane contract writing training arc.

Can't wait for this to happen ngl

Aftermath@aftermath.site

Studio closures and layoffs are ravaging video games, and now EA has been sold to Saudi Arabia. Perhaps, says @ramiismail.com, it's time for the industry to "shatter into a million beautiful shards that all have their own heroes, their own things, their own structures, their own funding methods”

When I scroll bluesky I appreciate the pure human made coolness that made me appreciate Twitter when I joined 10 years ago, but man does it comes with the same amount of human made bullshit

5 years ago I decided to seriously start fixing my mental health so I could eventually be mentally stable enough to be able to go through exactly the kind of shit I am going through these days. I am surprisingly ressourceful in a period where every ounce of me repeatedly wants to turn into sludge.

Ok, I need to ask even though it might be a stupid question. When people talk about generative AI in the context of game dev discourse, do they typically also include code generation (not just vibe coding)? I'm wondering cause I often see it weirdly moved off to the side when ppl talk abt AI.

Like, very often I see "some amount of AI code" seen as tolerabke since all tools include AI stuff in it, and it's never quite clear to me where the line is drawn. No AI, good, Vibe coding, bad but what about everything in between?

Wether or not anyone likes or hates AI, wether or not anyone uses or avoids AI, in part or in whole, I think we can all agree that it is actively leading us to the crash of the video games industry as we know it.

I'm saying this because I believe the stakes are truly preventing us from having any meaningful conversation about AI at this scale, and so might as well move past it for now and look at the main event.

Most of us would agree that AI is a net negative at an industry wide scale, and I don't think any individual use or not really moves the needle that much. Instead we should learn to shield ourselves from the impact, and find ways we can collectively help each other and fight a system.

I think we're way past the point of pointing at technofascists, at craftsmanship or at ethics. I think we're already sliding down a slope head first, and none of us had a say in it. I'm just hoping as many of us land safely as possible from whatever outcomes awaits us.

In the past few months there was an uptick in AI generated addons by users who arent that good at coding and so today I was probing how well Claude knows Construct related things without using web search. And randomly, it recognised me. TIL I learned I'm in the Claude Fable 5 model weights.
