Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Explored this some more, and realized if I generate a weight for each row in the image based on the lightness, then travel through 128 points based on those weights, I can use that to draw sine waves later. #glsl #computergraphics #gamedev

I saw a video about machines that draw with a single line, so I wanted to try programming that myself. Slowly getting there, but I think I need to simulate CMYK. #glsl #computergraphics #gamedev

I know for a fact that unity can sense when we're close to release, and purposefully corrupts random files in the library right before important builds so I have to spend several hours to investigating cryptic error messages with useless stacktraces gamedev is fun

Small #gamedev trick, let's say you have an effect happening over 10 ticks, and each tick it has some chance of doing something. Instead of trying to balance the chance of it happening every tick, define the chance of it happening at least once over 10 ticks and instead calculate the former.

I just got the most cursed Youtube recommendation. There is just so much wrong with this that I don't know where to start.

"Why do people say "I'm not Hungry" then eat your food" by "AI vs AI Debate Podcast.

The thumbnail sports a 3x2 grid of images representing the different AIs:
- Grok - A stretched image of a broken robot with red and blue lights instead of eyes.
- Chat G.P.T. - A stretched image of a metallic man in a suit. NExt ot the name it says "Score: 72"
- Gemini - A stretched image of a robot with a broken face and body
- DeepSeek - An image of a half-man, half robot with a red eye. The image is not stretched.
- Claude - A stretched image of a White robot with a few pieces missing
- Host - A stretched image of a very humanoid robot wiht red and blue hair

I recreated the Find Luigi / WANTED minigame so you can play it in a web-browser: itr13.github.io/findluigi/ Works on phone too! #gamedev

The image is split in two.

The bottom shows a lot of Mario character faces, with Luigi hidden between them near the top center.

Here's what it got after 2.5 hours. At this point it's mostly just placing the tiniest circle possible on details.

Sometimes I feel like effort isn't enough to get good at something. You can try pouring time and time into something, but if you're not actively learning from it then you'll take a lot longer to learn it. My biggest gripe with schools is that they just give you a presentation and some homework (..)

Youtube just banned a link for crediting the music I used. Presumably because it's called breaking copyright and some LLM thought that it promotes illegal activity. The EU wants to use this technology to spy on you. If you're a EU citizen, please contact your MEPs: fightchatcontrol.eu #chatcontrol

Music powered by BreakingCopyright written in white, followed by a url written in a harder to see gray. Afterwards there's a warning triangle Link Hidden in red, and Learn more in blue.

A webpage explaining how this is the first warning for breaking Community Guidelines, and after this there will be a 3 strike system.

A webpage explaining that the url https://breakingcopyright.com/ is against the harmful or dangerous content policy, and promotes illegal activities. They explain that the user can appeal if I think they've made a mistake.

Been messing around with Demon Bluff the past 3 days, so far I've made a mod to let you change the card art to whatever you want, a mod that adds more tags/labels, and a program that can solve the game based on the card statements. Really fun game, much recommended :) #demonbluff

I know prettying unity's node graphs is a fool's errand, and I know having the up and down arrows hook to different points makes a lot of sense, but it still feels very wrong

I'm visiting Japan and I just randomly met another game developer in a cafe (He had a GDC sticker on his laptop). Turns out he knows multiple Norwegian developers, this is such a small world it's crazy.

Photo of a spongecake-like slice of cake with white cream drawn as a line over the center, and a tiny leaf in the courner. It all lies on a white flower-shaped plate, next to a wine glass filled with reddish ice black tea and a small plastic bag with a wet napkin in it, a fork, and a straw.

It's fun to install/update large steam games, because steam uses 100% of my CPU to do so, which causes my computer to black out multiple times during the process and halts anything else I'm doing. Listening to music creates a really fun distortion & glitch effect, and videos skip back and forth.

Just saw somebody use AI art for their steam thumbnail, and the same art just stretched to fit the different resolution everywhere else on their steam-page... Do people not notice how bad that looks? Do they seriously think people will see that among other games and feel like playing it?
