The #PSBlackout begins tomorrow for one week in protest against Sony ending physical disc production. Many fellow physical collectors are realistic, and it's a protest of principle. Lot of silly takes online - I don't know why you'd be angry about a pro-consumer movement! 🤷‍♂️

My friends and I all care about each others’ lives and passions. I’m making my game mostly for them, so hopefully they still care by the end

The games industry: “We have to raise the price of everything because storage is expensive” Also the games industry: “We hope you have a ton of storage cause we’re getting rid of discs”

We’re supposed to play this on the worst screen we can find, right? (Mina the Hollower by @yachtclubgames.bsky.social, Steam Deck connected to a Zenith Sentry 2)
Mina the Hollower, an 8 bit pixel art action adventure game, is being played on a Zenith CRT TV). An orange cat can be seen pawing at the screen.

Look. I’m not against AI as a coding tool (very anti-AI for anything else though). But Github is blaming their recent outages on an explosion of growth due to AI code, while also selling a sub to their own AI product, while also struggling to make said product profitable.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

The only thing that would replace my Steam Deck LCD is a Steam Deck “2.0” with OLED, better battery, and mildly better performance on larger games. Until then, I’m using the OG every day, I love it so much.

jumping into a giant pit in Tears of the Kingdom, day one. sure it was theorized, but I somehow avoided those theories. I was amazed at the scale of that game, and how Nintendo somehow kept that out of marketing.

I totally understand people wanting to wait until beastieball is “1.0” to play it. I also don’t usually play early access titles. My main worry at this point is that the game is already so complete and universally beloved, by the time we call it 1.0 i might accidentally make it worse somehow…

This week’s fresh game dev hell involves creating a save system. I thought it’d be easy - serialize some booleans and objects, write to a file, read them later. Nested objects throw a wrench in it all, bloating my save time or making things too complex. I may need to write 20 custom serializers.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Marge
Marge Simpson sits on the couch in the Simpsons family living room. 
She says "do you feel inert, like a spectator to your own life-"

She begins to dissolve into smoke, as does the couch. 
"-a thing passing on rails outside your window as you sit there and watch?"

Marge and the couch continue to fade away, half the couch is gone now, Marge's upper half fully gone.
"You don't have to die to become a ghost."

Marge's body and the couch are gone, but her face stares blankly out of the wall.
