Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

kayinnasaki

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

In 2017 Universal wanted to start their cinematic "Dark Universe" with a Mummy movie. During the production I was chosen as background artist for a companion game, developed in just 8 months crunch. The movie wasn't just bad but considered worst movie of the year which destroyed the games sales.

disingenuous and utterly misleading reporting by RPS here: Discord did not suffer any kind of breach this is a completely-unaffiliated-with-Discord service

Gaming chat app Discord has suffered another user data breach, with a suspected 1 million email addresses stolen alongside (potentially many more) user IDs and IP addresses. While Discord was not targeted directly, third party security service Double Counter have reported a "deliberate, multi-stage attack" wherein hackers spent nearly six hours poking around their infrastructure before the vulnerability was closed.

Double Counter essentially acts as a bouncer bot for Discord servers, promising to detect and block unsanctioned alt accounts and prevent hostile 'raids' by large groups of malicious users. While its efficacy in that mission is debated by Discord users, and the service has previously been accused of selling user data for revenue, the fact is that Double Counter can collect and store personal info of the users that visit its 'protected' servers. Info that, now, has been partly or entirely nicked by Internet miscreants.

By Double Counter’s own estimates, around 1 million user email addresses have been affected, with databases of Discord IDs, usernames, IP addresses, and even location info for up to 28 million users also "partly" copied by the hackers. Security breach trackers Have I Been Pwned further report that 275,000 of the pinched emails and usernames have since been posted publicly.

Social con—*unintelligible screaming* It costs upward of 15k to give birth in a hospital given things go fine. It’s twice that for a C-section. And what if there are complications that require an extended stay? If the baby is a preemie and needs to stay in NICU, that’s 3k-10k PER DAY.

The Quest 64 account definitely helped a lot when it comes to showing how good a lot of early mocked games were, especially Quest 64 itself. It’s what got me to buy a copy of my own, so it would be really sad to see the account and others inspired by it give up because of AI disinformation

Revamped and old PFLP poster for #internationalwomensday #art

A poster reading "Down with the colonizer, down with patriarchy" and showing a Palestinian woman holding a rifle and wearing a veil embroidered with poppy anemones. The veil falls around her face in such a way, that it creates the shape of the Palestinian map.

The outline of the map of Palestine, formed by writing its Arabic name in red, on a parchment brown background. Anemone poppies are placed over where Gaza is and the piece is framed with the traditional Palestinian embroidery pattern for watermelon.

Since the clowncountry i reside in made 'from the river to the c' illegal to say and punishable with jail, because they cant stop projecting their own genocidal intent on us, i had to get creative✌🏽❤ #palestine #embroidery #flowers

To the left there is the traditional palestinian embroidery motif of the orangeblossom, in the middle is the map of Palestine and to the left the local embroidery motif for the cypress tree of Bir al Saba; they all are propped on the mountain embroidery motif. The map of Palestine is filled with a tile pattern from Ramallah, in the North it is filled with figs, in the middle with the ceramic patterns from al Khalil and along the west coast with orangeblossoms and oranges, where Yafa is located, and red poppies where Gaza is located, as they are a symbol for our martyrs. The whole drawing is framed by pink and green stripes, which imitate Majdalawi fabric, which only is woven in Gaza. Surrounding the map is the slogan: From Ras al Naqoura to Sinai, Palestine will be free!

To be clear, it doesn't having *nothing* to do with AI. But Capcom isn't converting their engine to be an "AI-generation engine", they're making their engine more open to AI tooling etc. (You're still allowed to be mad about that if you want!)
