Pop by in about 90 minutes for Part Two of our One-Shot (I know what I said) benefitting @childsplaycharity.bsky.social! Also, you can donate here: tilt.fyi/qxZVkPPuNa While we don't have incentives for donations, sometimes reaching the goal to break the DM while we're playing is a valid strat. ๐Ÿ’–

If you're an #indiegamedev #indiegames participating in Next Fest, and you are NOT using genAi poppycock, feel free to put your steam page here if it makes it easier for folks to find your game. I will share and try to get eye balls for you.

Steam@steampowered.com

Next Fest is back, with a new and improved UI for all your browsing needs! From now until October 26th, check out thousands (literally) of demos for games of all types - from frantic cooking typers to frozen railway games, there's something for everyone. store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfest

I really enjoyed the DreadHaven demo and will definitely jump into the game again soon :)

I've seen a few ads like this (there was one where a dude left a meeting so he could use AI to pretend he'd prepared) and they always feel like they're partially meant for the boss: 'Just sack these people and use AI yourself. Why waste money paying someone who isn't able to do the work anyway'

KetAnthropic JoshAI@ketanjoshi.co

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Yikes. This is... quite the misstep isn't it. I'd also gotten an email from them, without the thumbnail, and had added it to a shortlist to take look into further, check for gen ai use, etc. Welp, this saved me a few mins I guess.

rayyy lmao@raynarvaezjr.sucks

Just received this email WTF IS THIS??? This is a sure fire way to get me to NEVER play your game

This is such important work, and the thing to keep in mind is that when AI people tell you that games will be personalized for you, this is the kind of thing they are more likely to mean.

Morgan Johnson@poormojo.bsky.social

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Heck Yeah! ๐Ÿฅณ
