I still think about this post from @megfables.bsky.social and I'm still addicted to compliments.

Inspired by one of @vegeta897.bsky.social recent posts about CSG, I tried to implement some in Eternitubes 3D. As a result the tubes can be missing parts now... #screensaver #creativecoding #indiedev #retro #retrocomputing #gamedev #indiegame #3dArt #demoscene #procgen #mathart #abstractart

sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

Repost if $30k would change your life right now

It's not enough for weirdo mail carriers who like Quest 64 to say "I'm not playing games with GenAI in them" *Streamers need to stop playing them & mods made with AI *Review outlets need to stop giving them coverage and accepting codes and PUBLICLY SAY WHY *Modders need to stop using the AI tools

Seriously, play Big Walk.

Earlier Today I released Update 1.1 for Eternitubes 3D 🎉 and for that I also wanted to try some temporary cover art. I ended up with this theme and after adding that toxic green glow, I'm somehow tempted to keep it. ..Why!? #screensaver #mathart #creativecoding #indiedev #retro #gamedev #indiegame

@brettcodes.bsky.social's forum has been a wonderful place to be when I start getting that hopeless feeling in other online spaces. I wanted to share this comment I saw which responds to the "it's here to stay" argument that people treat as an axiom. humancrafted.discourse.group/t/feeling-li...

Using AI is almost certainly harmful to us cognitively, emotionally, creatively, and socially. We should not use it. We should not normalize it.

blast that repost button and win mama an award

The video advertising Unity's ew AI-driven autocomplete game maker has 'Mari' who has a game idea they "always wanted to make" and that idea is "Space Corridor" and it looks like this, and that's the strongest argument I can think of for keeping game dev out of the pro-AI crowd's hands.

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda

A quick sketch in #MagicaCSG

there's a really nice little AI-booster-free community sprouting up at humancrafted.dev/forum to talk about the joys of coding by hand & how to navigate this current moment come help make this ad-free discussion-centric hangout zone a wonderful place!

...And suddenly it's #screenshotsaturday again! Here's another colorful set of tubes from Eternitubes 3D, freshly created a couple of minutes ago. If you're interested: store.steampowered.com/app/4979880 #screensaver #creativecoding #indiedev #retro #gamedev #indiegame #digitalart #3Dart #mathart

@flippbyte.bsky.social The variety of tube shapes in this is wonderful. This is my favorite one so far (plus the color and lighting!) (from Eternitubes 3D on steam)

I love niche passion projects like this. store.steampowered.com/app/4979880/... Just someone who really loves tubes hand-writing this in C++ with no engine. Of course I'm gonna throw a couple bucks at it.

I like programming.

It's about time I thank @iznaut.com for creating a space that led me to meeting @wildweasel486.bsky.social, who is easily one of my favorite follows this year.

got annoyed with people calling AI a tool, so i wrote a little newsletter about hammers www.anxietyshark.ca/any-hammer-y...

For maybe the first time, I feel really good about of the number of unfinished game prototypes in my github. The realization of "what am i making here" is a harsh moment but a valuable filter, and AI just hops right over it.

one of the things I like about being a game programmer is you have to make a million little decisions how does A talk to B? how do the physics behave here? how many times per second does the entire world get destroyed and rebuilt? AI takes away these decisions. It makes coding less intentional

there used to be a strong correlation between seeing neat things online, and the person who made it: 1. is very knowledgeable and passionate about it 2. put love and care into it 3. is getting recognition for it but that trust is now gone, the grifters skipped to step 3, the slop ghouls have won

Reddit's all right cuz I can spontaneously decide to fixate on writing a detailed guide for a random stranger, and hopefully future strangers who find it.

you're just a tiny little person, so why not align with the rest of us instead of Sam Altman and mr. jackets on this one. we can actually make a difference if we have solidarity. don't use claude etc. on your creative coding and games projects.

i understand if people are pressured to use LLMs for work. you gotta eat, it's hierarchical, usage may be monitored, i get it. but if you bring that shit home it's different! that actually is a personal endorsement. you don't have to use your own projects to normalize unethical corporate projects.

I'm not being very productive, which could be due to sleep or thyroid. But what I can do is dick around on social media. So let's share again the starter packs I made of game devs who refuse to use gen AI in any capacity. Here you go: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

New on the Secret Area: I hate AI vibe coded game projects. Terrible machine translations! Barely functional recompilations! It's a hot mess, y'all. Shares and comments appreciated, as always. asecretarea.com/2026/08/10/a...

I was really cooking in 2013 with this. There's an extra 8th note inserted into the beat between every 2nd and 3rd bar because it just felt right. Those unexpected choices are one of my favorite things when making music. I have no idea how it sounds to other people.

All the video game studios that refuse to use generative AI aftermath.site/video-games-no...

you should keep around copies of the posts or interactions that make you happy. because those aren't disposable. they can work more than once.

@wildweasel486.bsky.social thank you for the ❤️ in skydle royale

This "ai code/art is already everywhere and impossible to avoid so you should just relax about people using it" shit has to stop, it's not remotely true. Same exact shit as "it's the inevitable future!" or "you can't put the genie back in the bottle!!" We can literally do whatever the fuck we want

you didn’t need an AI to make crazy taxi in 1999 why the fuck do you need one now
