Still feeling the rampant speculation itch, so let's jump on the Apple Girlington train for #deltarune: Catti's Dark World form is a magical girl. She's been the one anonymously arguing with Alphys which season of Mew Mew Kissie Cutie is better. Her goth persona is only *mostly* a cover.

Just realized some incredibly important lore implications about the upcoming #splatoon game: Salmonids have a culture of "live deliciously," powerful warriors slain in battle provide a tasty meal. The high-ranking Salmonids in the trailer are covered in salt. They're *literally* seasoned warriors.

It’s so important to engage with other art forms as a game dev. This is a medium heavily influenced by ones older than it, for better and for worse. A lot of your favorite horror games have roots in amazing movies. And read! Please read! There are folks who think that this isn’t relevant. It is!

PSA for those who have switched over from Windows to Linux for gaming (via Steam): As you may know, each game running via Proton is given its own prefix, simulating locations like Documents / Appdata to house saves + configs. That prefix, and all its files, is deleted ENTIRELY upon game uninstall.

Project Plowshare was an attempt to use nukes for practical purposes: from digging canals to reshaping entire landscapes. But instead, it turned into an environmental disaster. What happened to it, and why did it fail in the end? Watch our full video to find out: kgs.link/ProjectPlowshare

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame. TL:DR, they sped up slop. youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

Update: Devs were left in the dark on DLSS 5, meaning their hard work was altered, modified and sloppified without their consent, to their shock. Disrespect is not a strong enough word to describe the perverse mockery of craft 😭 Source: insider-gaming.com/dlss-5-gamer...

Developers Were Left in the Dark
About DLSS 5
Speaking with developers and artists at studios that have agreed to DLSS 5, including CAPCOM and Ubisoft, Insider Gaming was told that the DLSS 5 tech was revealed to them at the same time as everyone else.
"We found out at the same time as the public," said one Ubisoft developer.
Developers at CAPCOM tell Insider Gaming that the announcement and the publisher's involvement were particularly shocking, as CAPCOM has previously been historically very "anti-Al" with projects such as Resident Evil Requiem and other unannounced projects in development. Some at the publisher fear that the DLSS 5 announcement could prompt a change in the publisher's view on generative Al and its implementation in its games

Played Slay the Spire 1 again today to see if I could get some design inspiration flowing. Instead I ended up making a build where I had one card that just played itself and burned the enemy with status damage from playing that card. I never even ended my turn. ...I think that means I beat the game?

Why did nobody tell me about Luminous Arc's soundtrack sooner? I knew the second one had some Spanish guitar vibes to it, but the first game's OST just whalloped me with major nostalgia. Serious Nightmare of Druaga vibes. Think a proper playthrough is in order... www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTQK...

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

You also have to be more specific w/ credits, in addition to asking for permission. It's one thing to name drop someone like Thens/Molly, but when you only say "data/unused content" it makes it sound like all you did was look at a spreadsheet they made. And not that you actually took a specific mod.

Tinfoil hat moment: What if these weird updates YouTube keeps making are intentionally JUST bad enough to get people angry and posting about it so other people get on themselves to see what's up, but not bad enough it actually hurts their engagement long-term? Seems sufficiently corporate brainrot.

if i asked my phone what 4 × 3 tbsp is and it said "one and three quarters" and I double-checked it and it went "well done! that was actually for 8 tablespoons. the correct conversion is 1 cup" i would simply pitch it out a window and look at a fucking book

It may not be for a long while yet. But this is the first time it's felt like the words in my head could become something real. Small steps.

A poorly-drawn map in various blobs of color, each one with a numbered label of some sort. An unbroken line progresses through each of them, curving across the map in an odd looping pattern. One section trails off the map to reach around to another point, almost as if it was an afterthought.
