Hey all, sorry for the silence and lack of streaming and demo videos. I’ve been in the middle of moving and then going on vacation. I do want to stream as soon as I’m able, to play a few games I need to play for stream and I’m looking forward to getting back to playing more demos!

I found a bottle of Buffalo Trace for $25 at one of my local gas stations. It was the last bottle and apparently I was the like the 3rd person to get a bottle in that store that day. I didn’t even go in for that, I was getting myself dinner lol. But I’ve never seen it sold below $30

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

So what’s with this AI Gaming Festival on Steam I’m hearing about? Apparently it’s a Third Party Festival? How does third party festivals even work? What role does Steam play in it and why is a GenAI curation allowed to exist?

Creating this no-ai indie games starter pack is one of the best things I ever did on BlueSky. Lots of great developers in here, making things with their own hands, some of whom I might not have found otherwise!! go.bsky.app/78u8M6Y

I’m the age of gamer that does not care about skill anymore. If I’m not having fun anymore, I’m dropping the difficulty down lol. I’m now playing Resident Evil Requiem on Casual and I’m going to enjoy a nice breezy atmospheric time until I roll credits lol

A lot of "well I'm boycotting it anyway" quotes sort of missing the point that a boycott is a specific tool you deploy with a purpose. I think it's the right move to sidestep trying to make a public dent in what *will* be an immensely high-selling game in favour of directly asking for legal support.

Marx’s Labor Theory of Value states a product’s worth is determined by the level of effort required to create it. People intuitively understand that a thing made without effort isn’t worth their time or money.

Absolutely wild that there’s a word for underpants that the British use. Knickers. But with an American accent, it feels very dangerous to say out loud.

I keep seeing ads for this company called Whskey Library that will send you a couple bottles based on the results of a taste survey and they’re bottles that you can’t find in chain stores. Thinking about splurging some overtime money on a box.

Dan Johnson will design games for food @coil.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

If you haven't worked in the industry in the last two years because you've been unable to find a job, it'll boot you out of the survey. So say you're self-employed.

"Why do you see yourself leaving the game industry [in the next twelve months]?"

AAA layoffs are decimating institutional knowledge and making a stable career impossible. Greed-first financial climate makes AA funding precarious. The job market is impossibly competitive. A lack of functional marketing systems makes indie success a coin flip at best. And cost of living in "industry cities" is too high to bear a long unemployment spell.

"What considerations or values guide your decisions about if, when, or how to use generative AI tools in your work?"

Personally: it short-circuits any learning process and atrophies personal skill.
Discipline: It's unsuitable for the work I do (design).
Professionally: genAI output is not protected by copyright and may expose me to theft/plagiarism liability.
Industry: it's being over-deployed for work it can't do and used as an excuse to lay off, under-hire, and overwork workers.
Societally: the genAI industry is vacuuming up investment money and starving other industries, including games.
Morally: LLMs and image generators are trained on creative work taken without declaration, consent, or compensation.

Man, I loved Patrice Desolets. The all in on AI move from him and that studio is so disappointing.

Genuine question because someone called it out to me. Are non-binary folks considered trans because they do not identify with their gaab? Asking followers in the LGBTQIA+ community because I didn’t know this.

The realization that every morning after I had a Factor meal for dinner, I don’t feel like shit. Like significantly less heartburn, no additional lethargy to just being sleepy. I never realized how much of a difference portion control and more fiber from veggies every night would make a difference

The ADHD experience is hyper focusing on a new creative endeavor until you burn out, give up on it, focus on hobbies in a relaxed manner, get a creative itch, start a project, rince and repeat.
