Okay, so I'm not a fan of horror games generally... But a handful of them I've found have profoundly impacted me. This includes Mouthwashing, Iron Lung and now MOLE (which I played through last night and wholly recommedn). Does anyone have any recommendations for similar experiences? Thanks :)

Idk where else to say this, so its just going into the bluesky ether here... If you liked the game Iron Lung and weren't planning on watching Markiplier's movie adaptation - you are making a mistake IMO. It was incredibly well made and did such a good job of adapting the game to screen.

Just curious if anyone knows a good source of poetry online that is an anti-ai platform? Wife is looking for poetry but really doesn't want to end up using AI generated stuff and I have no idea where to point her. Did a quick search and, predictably, just got a bunch of AI generation services -.-

Can someone just tell me if Mixtape is something I should avoid or not? I'm so confused as to how much of this all is whiney baby gamer rage and how much is legitimate concern around actual issues lol. Fuck I hate this future.

The amount of people I know that claim they don't use AI but still read the google AI summary... This is an important learning moment lol... Change your browser so it goes directly to the web results, not the "all" (look it up, its pretty easy) or even better, stop using google! Qwant is a good alt

LMAO... literally had someone tell me that the AI used in programming is different to other AI and doesn't have the issues that they have (environmental impact, stolen data for training, etc)... If you're gonna use AI then just do it with your whole chest. But "my ai is ethical actually..."... lol

No more excuses for indie game developers for sure. Road to Vostok just laid to rest that Godot is somewhat lacking in visual quality like what kind of game are you making? Slay the Spire 2 is set to earn above USD$250 million. Move away from greedy executives and embrace Godot, the people's tool.

God I hate that we need to rely on creators actually telling us "No AI was used" or "Human Created" etc... but I'm also very grateful for those that do. Saves the annoying process of working it out lol

Bro... how many live services games are big studios gonna release and immediate shutter before they actually learn? Jesus. Its actually embarrassing at this point. I feel so bad for all the people who put their heart and souls into these titles only for CEOs to be like "eh w/e shut it down lol"

Not only this, but there is increasing evidence that just using AI makes your brain less capable of problem solving, meaning that over time its likely to lead to you being worse at coding and therefore probably less productive. Just... Fuck AI. That's all you need to know really lol

As someone who hates making friends, and tends to end relationships over moral mismatches (where the other person has a moral stance I just cannot be okay with)... I sure feel like I'm running out of friends lol

Today I remembered that I was confident there was no way Trump was going to win the first time around, and while less confident, still pretty sure he wouldn't the second time... So... now I'm legitimately worried about One Nation and that's... cool I guess? Sigh

It will never not be hilarious to me, in the most depressing way, that the "WORDS CANT HURT PEOPLE" crowd are so upset over specific protest chants, pronouns, etc.

So do we have an agreed upon discord alternative we are all gonna jump ship to or not yet? Someone suggested Stout but I've never used anything like discord that wasn't discord...

The feelings I have after going along to an anti-herzog protest in Adelaide yesterday, as my first protest, then seeing the footage from Sydney... are weird and terrifying. I can see how fear works... gotta make sure to get out to the next one too!

One of our cats had to be rushed to a vet hospital yesterday and spent 24 hours in there. While talking to the vets they asked "is it okay if we use AI to record this conversation as text"... And like... I get why that would be useful but ugh -.-

A big pet peeve of mine in video games is when the game requires a lot of traversal (eg. RPGs where you have to hand in quests a lot) AND they give you a mount, but they make the animation for getting on and off the mount SO GODDAMN SLOW it feels slower than just walking everywhere even if its not

Currently taking all the smallest indie games in my Steam library and letting them run for a few minutes (if I haven't played them) so I can leave a positive review. Review your indie games! Even if it doesn't say much. I'm just copying and pasting.

One of my pet peeves in modern game design is the tendency to highlight new items, tutorials, entries, etc. with either text reading "NEW" or a bright yellow exclamation mark or similar. I understand the function, but please can we normalise a "clear all" or turning the system off in options. PLEASE

Using gAI is peak loser behaviour. 'i only use it for..' Loser behaviour. 'its just for...' Loser. Behaviour. So is supporting a project you know has used gAI by the way. Don't be a loser.

Cats really do be like "yo none of the things you buy me are good enough... This old empty pizza box tho... 😍" This is Leo btw. He's half menace, half angel

Incredibly cute diluted ginger kitty sleeping curled up on an old pizza box because none of the dedicated kitty purchases compare

Everyone posting about what appears to be the beginning of Ubisoft finally dying really just makes me reflect on how little I care about the AAA space. Obviously I don't want people losing jobs and all that, but indie games are where all the interesting stuff is at for me, without exception

Another rant about NextDoor, sorry... But jesus this platform makes me understand the state of the world a lot more. All these fucking boomers can't just block a person or scroll past when they disagree, and then they go on to make posts complaining about people have opinions lol. So fucking dumb

How is it that people still fall for badge farming comments/reviews/replies on Steam and give the dumbest spam all their steam points (which, to be fair, are basically worthless)?! Its like its their first day online for so many people lol

I was worried that support for Palestine might wane a bit with the "ceasefire" announcement... but my wife just sent me these from the March for Gaza in Adelaide (where we live)... And other pics from at least the other AU cities are similarly large crowds... which is wonderful... Keep it up all!

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

Sigh... another dumb story about NextDoor boomers... Some boomer posted an image to promote the upcoming "March for Australia". This rally is a racist white supremacist event organized by a guy who literally proudly proclaims he is a neo nazi, not even joking... So of course I report this...
