At first, the press secretaries were spaced by 24 weeks. Then 12, then 6, then every 2 weeks. The last one, Katie Zacharia, was less than a week. In 4 days we could be seeing a press secretary every 8 hours until they are coming every 4 minutes. We should witness a double event within seven days.

Let me spell it out: they managed to implement localization for Caves of Qud, the game that has a ridiculous amount of procedurally-generated text in it.

Also Pokemon Heartgold may have already been decomped by another years-long project so it might all be a scam.

I'm also suspicious of the original poster's 56k claim, I think she may be citing the expensive API token rate to look impressive and used subscriptions to spend less. On the other hand the API rate may (MAY) be overcosted because the AI companies are trying to make money from large corporations.

HK is weird, as Team Cherry is notoriously frugal, so they maybe made it work, but they said they were living off leftover sandwiches from a neighbor office at times, so there's hidden freebies that add up. They did also take longer than their original estimate, because game dev is just like that.

HK received money through Kickstarter, that does not mean it was fully funded by Kickstarter money. I tend to view most video game Kickstarter goals as way under the required budget, because if they asked for the full number, most wouldn't get it. (it's sorta become a marketing platform)

i know people think this is just bluster, and ill grant that’s probably most likely, but i don’t think we should understate the chances that a gutter racist president has staffed the DOJ with gutter racists that are going to try and denaturalize a sitting congresswoman cause they hate somalis.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The real way to make a really cool game is to run a digital fiefdom where every commercial game developer on Earth is required to give you 30% of their money for life.

i love deadlock because it show that the best way to get a really cool game is to avoid letting the creative part gutted by hr thinking in metrics and sells

If confirmed, this is telling: Russian data centres get hit, and online activity around AfD suddenly plummets.
So much talk about German patriotism... then the connection from Russia goes down.

First, it captures the feel & humor of the videogame but lets you play up to 4 players and away from any screens. Second, there's enough differences in rules & content that it can almost function like a sequel. If you've "exhausted" the videogame, then here's a bunch of new toys to play with it.

The video advertising Unity's ew AI-driven autocomplete game maker has 'Mari' who has a game idea they "always wanted to make" and that idea is "Space Corridor" and it looks like this, and that's the strongest argument I can think of for keeping game dev out of the pro-AI crowd's hands.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.
