There's a reason the most outspoken AI proponents are right-wingers. There's a repulsive predatory undercurrent that comes with their commentary. They don't celebrate making art, they're excited to devalue artists. They get off on making nude images of unwilling victims. They howl excitedly about

It's a good game. I didn't fall in love with it but I got quite a bit of fun out of it. And it's free.

Enola Holmes 3 is amusing because it's revealed that some British officers pillaged gold from Afghanistan to bankroll a war and all the characters are disgusted and outraged at thievery as if that wasn't the entire basis of empire.

I suppose that it's that time of the month again where I need to say I'm looking for contract work again. My full portfolio is at thatartisan.carrd.co I'm also opening commissions for static sprites. DM me on Bluesky or email me if you'd like to get in touch.

It's hilarious to me how all the headlines are like "CONCERNS GROW FOR HIS HEALTH SITUATION" and we all know - WE ALL KNOW - it is not concern, it is the anticipation of explosive, schadenfreude-fuel rejoicing and relief.

a lovely snippet from our latest episode which shows the importance of developers sharing their creative process. Without @obsidianent.bsky.social showing their work via devlogs, we may never have gotten the beautiful isometric world of Disco Elysium.

Sorry if I haven't been doing any updates on my game lately. Rest assured, in the background I'm not doing much either.

Edge browser update. Corporations are cramming AI into places it has no business being with such frenetic energy it's like they need it to breathe. Like they're actually going to run out of air if they don't find a new place to stick it, with all the usefulness of a banana glued to a car.

Oh, no, I couldn't possibly join you for that. I need to stay at home and ruminate on the things I'm worried about.

Anyone have strong opinions on genre for games? Should I pick one or two or can I get away with a swirl? I think first-person existential horror/puzzle/platformer might be too much at once. #gamedev

My janky but effective audio occlusion system. Very few out-of-the-box tools for things like this. Google Resonance just does binary occlusion and Steam Audio does full (expensive) acoustic simulation. Where's the option for people who want something just good enough? #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Apparently "AI gen imagery is bad" is a controversial stance on r/solodevelopment and that is not a sad discovery I expected to face today.

You ever get that feeling where you solve a bug or finish a new system you didn't think you'd be able to and you just want to cry in relief and do an instant git push to make sure you don't somehow go back in time and lose it?

I really underestimated how confusing and complex light-baking would be. Combine that with a custom shader and trying to make sure everything is compatible has been a journey.

I have received a complaint from the Unity big wigs that some of you are still capturing when there is hot control. It is absolutely, positively vital that you should not be capturing while there is hot control.

Here is a little demo of a procedural cave-generating system for my existential horror first-person game. It works by taking base blocks and a bunch of different variables and producing semi-random tunnels/caves/tombs. You can scale it, swap textures, tweak lots of things. It's all just blocks.

We've been doing stylised art since at least 2000BCE. This is the so-called "Priest King", from the poorly understood Harappan culture, in the Indus Valley in modern-day Pakistan. Look at how much personality they gave this guy. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priest-...
