Always love to see the early designs you sometimes share! Just like your game design documents 😙

I stepped away from socials back in 2020. Coming back, I find a games industry that's changed a lot since I left - in good ways, and in hard ways. I'm looking forward to being part of the community again. 👋

I need to interview someone who knows a ton about game optimization—esp. if they have AAA experience! I’m making a video about why it’s impractical to wait until the game is finished to start making trailers (especially for AAA). This is one angle I want to explain it from. Reposts appreciated! 🙏

Hey! I didn't look at it from that perspective. Thanks for this insight. I really appreciate it. Maybe I just need some time to get used to things being different. All the best!

Maybe I'm overreacting, but indeed that's the feeling I have now. I feel so tricked in wasting my time when I find out I watched/read something generated. I'm also really doubting to move all my own things offline, cause it's just being stolen now.

This, and also if you get burned a couple of times, one loses faith in those creative mediums totally (movies, games, books, comics, etc).

Akira Sakuma, the former Data East/TAD programmer, was going through development documents for the unreleased Toki sequel and found image files that were created on development hardware. Since they are not in a standard format, Sakuma wrote a tool to view them. x.com/reddrag64988...

必要に駆られ、TAD勤務時の未発売プロジェクト「JuJu2」の資料を漁っておりました。 すると、当時の開発機(S-CG-CAD)で作成された画像ファイルが見つかりました。 当然、BMP等のよく知られた形式ではないため、急遽、Windows上で閲覧するツールを作成してみました。 何もかも皆懐かしい・・・

I'm also doubting about canceling my personal hobby website. It's such a mess. Why put any effort into anything online.

The absolute gut punch of seeing mentors and heroes fall for the ai grift. Seeing their avatars flip to ugly generated art, their posts start to read like they were generated… lashing out at people who’ve clearly privately tried to walk them back to reality. We’re losing a lot of 50+ nerds to this

Original Tweet from @Mantia: What’s something that seems obvious within your profession, but the general public seems to misunderstand?

Yeah, I feel you. For some reason my brain clicks with videogames. And especially the creating games part. But it's getting harder and harder to motivate myself to do/learn anything in that area

Yeah, I've got a couple of hobby websites also, but the fun of maintaining them is long gone. Doubting even if I should just take them offline

hello my fellow podcasters, Audacity is running a survey and as you'd expect, there are AI questions on there! Very leading questions, at that! Tell them you do not need AI baked into this useful recording/editing software! thank you! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
"Do you currently use any paid LLMs or AI tools?" Yes/No/Prefer Not to Say (lol)
"If applicable, would you be interested in using your AI service together with Audacity?
If, for example, an AI could generate audio, help with editing tasks, or work with your project."
Yes Very Interested/Maybe/No, I Keep AI and Audacity separate/Other"

Yeah, there are a lot of red flags in their recent talk. And my feeling is that it's about the players, but also companies and developers who they want to make dependant.

The irony is they are replacing all their non-union humans with agents run by a single organization that can demand changes in wages (aka token costs) overnight without bargaining.
