The funniest thing to me about all this is that they're almost certainly stuffing UE6 to the brim with GenAI. Take away disclosures... it won't matter when your own product is the tell.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

what exactly DOES happen to materials from a major studio that’s closed? where do physical hard drives, documents, etc go? who maintains all this pointless secrecy? if you know or have stories, get in touch: nathan@aftermath.site, nathangrayson.666 (signal), aftermathdotsite@proton.me (proton mail)

Saw You Can See Everything last night. Not much I can say about it without spoiling, but man ... probably going to be thinking about it all week.

Polymarket is paying people to QRT its branded esports accounts on X. Players, coaches, and other prominent figures make hundreds or even thousands per month. “Literally this needs to look organic,” wrote a Polymarket rep on the Discord where this is organized. www.readergrev.com/p/polymarket...

I'm going back to bed.

Pulled a bag of Hydrangea out of my freezer this morning. Searched around to see what they've been up to, only to find this. 🤦 Egregious behavior. Dudes really can't be normal.

Another launch day post! Vertical Slice is introducing The Repository, an expanding collection of free design docs and pitch decks submitted by generous developers, publishers, and investors. Fans of @outerloopgames.bsky.social, @kitfoxgames.com, and @outersloth.com will want to check this out!

Freelance gaming writers who are NOT attending TGA, hit me up. I may have an opportunity for you.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

It’s easy to see why the AI companies wanted to hide this from the public. The statements are some of the most damning indictments of the ways LLMs were trained, how they work, and the immediate threat they pose to human labor. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

Harm reduction politics is over for me. The harm is here, the harmers are in power & doing tremendous harm. No, in an era of fascist control the way to end harm is by being anti-fascist. I don't need ideological purity, but if we're gonna make an anti-fascist coalition here, it can't include harmers

jfc dude, you can just say "we won't tolerate transphobia on bsky." It's ok if you can't assign a mathematical proof to every moderation decision. All you're doing here is the same shit that makes people say "unalived" on TikTok. It's busy work, just to avoid having an opinion on anything.

Cracking up at AI devs saying AI will kill all humans but they can't stop because someone else might make it worse You can't raise the stakes from "it'll kill all humans" dude, that's already the max. Like "it'll kill all humans but in CHINESE" ok now I think poorly of you for a whole new reason

Derek continues to give away crazy game all for free. Great watch if you touch game marketing at all.

We were racing the setting sun here and only had enough light for one take but this was one of my favorite sessions with Toni Lindgren ever. Those turtles move fast. 170bpm if I remember right. 🎵 Come Back Home by Trampled By Turtles

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)

Biblically accurate SF

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Game publishers want the staffing of film and TV without the unions that make gig-to-gig work a viable living and a sustainable business.

Re-upping this call for folks to talk to me about a time they ordered gaming apparel or merch only to receive a cheap knock off

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

AI will usher in a utopia! Universal income, disease has been cured! But also it will be super petty and retaliatory if you're mean to me.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

"Thank you, 2XKO" I wrote about my thoughts and feelings about 2XKO's announced end of development. Thank you to the team, thanks to the players, and thanks for giving me a chance to learn how to make fighting games. Interactions on this post limited for my sanity. www.patreon.com/pattheflip/p...
