MachineScreen @machinescreen.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Well I really don't like the character art style in the OoT remake. It has a weird uncanny valley plastic doll look to me. 110
MachineScreen @machinescreen.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I am so very tired of *gestures broadly*. Maybe trying to make commercial indie games in times like these is a fools errand unless you have an established audience. Especially when there are competitors willing to embrace the plagiarism machines to shortcut much of the effort. This timeline sucks. 150
MachineScreen @machinescreen.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Maybe no one cares but if you're a low poly artist doing character stuff I am very interested in collabs of any kind. Please get in touch. 063

Reposted by MachineScreenBrian Merchant @bcmerchant.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Across the US, workers are souring on AI. The tech industry has insisted that AI would make workers’ lives easier and more productive, that the more people understood and used AI, the more they would like it. Something closer to the opposite has happened.bloodinthemachine.comWhy office workers are turning against AIWhether or not you like AI at work ultimately boils down to a question of power. 201549454

Reposted by MachineScreenKyle Labriola @kylelabriola.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Claude continues to be the siren's song tempting all programmers to jump into the sea. I think it's impossible to underestimate the temptation that many [especially older] programmers seems to have for wanting a solution that will make their lives "easier" and fill a hole in their heart. 48731

MachineScreen @machinescreen.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Just watched the GTA trailer and my overriding thought is isn't it rather icky to be able to hurt and kill random innocents like shopkeepers in that level of fidelity? Older entries clearly weren't real life and had tongue firmly in cheek but this feels more serious tonally and that feels odd to me. 220

MachineScreen @machinescreen.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Well overall this is actually better than I thought it would be going from the vibes last week. However I'm not sure why there needs to be a carve out for using LLMs for 'menial things' when all of the example tasks listed are perfectly possible and arguably more reliable without using them. 🤷♂️ 2120

MachineScreen @machinescreen.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I guess it's always going to be an uphill battle trying to convince programmers that there might be considerations above maximum speed and efficiency. 040
MachineScreen @machinescreen.bsky.social · 21/06/2026The Godot LLM stuff feels like it's going to put a lot of users in very awkward situations with their principles and stated beliefs, myself included. Maybe I'm in a bubble but gamedev feels pretty tight knit and the overwhelming majority of competent creators seem to be against LLM usage. 6589
MachineScreen @machinescreen.bsky.social · 21/06/2026This is the galling thing. Your official policy can be ’discourage use’ but then it appears that’s just a do as I say not as I do situation. With how vociferous the reaction can be around indie games found to be using LLMs I’m surprised the Godot foundation isn’t considering the reputational damage. 380
MachineScreen @machinescreen.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Obviously the Trenchbroom situation sucks but I'm confused as to why I seem to be noticing a more significant backlash against the one guy who maintains that compared to say Godot where there's an increasing number of PRs with AI disclosures (which, for clarity, also sucks). 370
