Maybe I'll make a game where you're the guy who has to hide all the treasure behind waterfalls.

All these AIs "escaping from containment" just tells me that AI companies are awful at containment.

Got served the new Dolmio ad on Instagram. What awful AI slop replacing what used to feel real and cosy. Can't even keep the logo on the jar consistent in shot. Wonder which childhood nostalgia-bait commercial they will attack next. The Gobbledok? Louie the Fly? That gross peanut butter man?

I am so sick of dealing with useless Agentic AI 'assistants'. They frequently spout off incorrect information and I swear things take 500 times longer than they should.

I must be getting that age where I complain about everything. . . But why are films so dark and desaturated now? I feel like it goes well beyond a stylistic choice. It's like we have forgotten how to light scenes and use colour grading effectively.

Got the itch to replay Quest for Glory 4. But the real question becomes, do I just jump right into 4? Or am I going to play through all of them from the start again? Gotta import that hero!

Tracked down a copy of 'Magical Athlete'. What a joy to play! Looking forward to lots of future games of this with my family.

Thanks to the wonderful team at @pridefulsloth.com, we had the pleasure of attending their studio today ahead of the release of Go-Go Town! next week on PC and Switch. It's actually so satisfying to see the ways that local game developers and media/creators can support each other like this. 🥰

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

Sad I wasn't able to make this or (Level Up Tasmania), but I'll say again that our regional events are MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER! MIGW is expensive to get to/stay at/participate in, and in these trying financial times it is genuinely fantastic to see the States and Territories running local events. 🎉

The one thing I want from XBOX is local device only accounts for children. Forcing me to make a Microsoft account so my 7 year old can play is a bit of a joke. If there's a way to do this, it is not clear to me.

My dream e-book reader would have an in-world glossary so I could tap on one of the weird names I've forgotten and it can give me info. The info could also be updated as you progress through the book, keeping things up to date. Why yes, I do like making extra work for authors.

Watching tv shows was so much more enjoyable before social media. These days, if you don't watch the episode the second it comes out, you can bet someone will spoil major plot points in an thumbnail within the hour.
