Clicking Google's fun whimsical throwback logo today sends you to an AI chat pre-filled with a goofy prompt and immediately hits you with a warning that it is potentially dangerous to continue. You couldn't make a better commentary on how badly they have fucked up the internet if you tried.

Hmmm....so apparently I need to write something contentious to drive engagement.... ...hey you! The thing in videogames you like is bad design and that thing you hate is good design. Prove me wrong!

A tumblr text post screenshot, dated Feb 2023, author "buglich":

tactics ogre villain writing: every named boss you encounter is as much a person as yourself, no matter how despicable. they will be mourned when they die; perhaps more than you. never forget that you pave the road to your dream with the bones and broken hopes of others.

final fantasy tactics villain writing: you stand before the monstrous, twisted ruin of a good man who dreamed of a better world, who longed only for the strength to bring it about. also, argath is back again. he hates poor people even more now.

fire emblem: awakening villain writing: this is Villageburner the Bandit and in exactly three turns frederick will insert his entire foot into his ass

Slop slingers aren't in it for the love of the art. They don't stop and smell the roses. Your potential ceiling will always be higher than theirs because you can do what they can't. Build a community of people that love art. Champion the creatives. Here's one of Rado's games.

Indie game devs should band together and sell their games on CD or DVD at local events. So everyone at an event sells all the games for everyone in the group, and not just their own. Lil indie dev cooperative sales groups.

"The ai slop game made 100k we're doomed!" Good news! That means your game you poured your heart out into can make that too! It starts with showing your game and getting wishlists. Do what they can't. Do it for the love of the art and let people know about it. 🧵

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal
A graphical asset in the shape of a cog. It contains the following text 'This developer assures that NO GEN AI' was used in this indie game

Never would have guessed the country would anoint an idiot whistleblower who self-proclaims that Sam Altman and kin are seers with special brains. Spread this while it's at peak traction. These are the people building this techno-dystopia. Cult exposure is the most visceral tool we've had yet.

I wish it were totally irrelevant, but my childhood in variously batshit apocalypse cults seems to have been useful preparation. The thing I would like to convey to more normal people is that apocalypse cults have so much gravity because they produce a tremendously relieving clarity of purpose.

It's not even some 4D chess conspiracy: - Rich dorks concluded in 2013 that AI would kill us all. - Decided the only fix is to build it themselves before someone else could. - Met regularly, pooled money to hire researchers. - Researchers made something that impressed billionaires.

I just learned today that Radiant Sword was cancelled, and this mini-OST fucking nails it. It has some Hitoshi Sakimoto vibes, as expected of an FFT-successor. More Vagrant Story than FFT, but very much still its own thing. Nice little hints of Xenogears strings sprinkled in a few places, too.

Roguelikes & Deckbuilders both rightfully exploded in popularity because the format bridged UX gaps that systems-heavy games have struggled with for years. Same story for incrementals. But we're well past market saturation, and indies who choose those genres will have a rough time standing out.

I've never been solely about me even before Bluesky. Love creative stuff and the people pouring their hearts into it. Wouldn't be making something i love without their inspiration. Love sharing it when I see it. Often see "what do I do when I dont have progress to share?" Help someone else fly.
