“It’s hard to avoid playing games with Gen Ai in them.” Play old games. Play games from 2008. Play games from 1998. Play games from 1988.

The very British future of a distant colony world, one where the currency is 'Dosh'. 📺: Amaurote, Binary Design Ltd, 1987.
A screenshot of the game, with a hexagonal segmented UI of various stats such as City DMG, SUPA BOMB, Your damage, and Your Dosh.

An eldritch looking curved bone or rocky outcropping rises from the centre of the screen, all done in yellow background with black line/pixel artwork.

No, he's not. Donald Trump is not a traitor or aberration or puppet. He's a logical result of US history and a pure expression of the capitalist brutality that history is composed of. The United States is a factory designed to make Donald Trump. Recognize this or the next model will be worse.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Invasion from Beyond (aka B-Movie) (PS1) (1998) 1/5
The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one. But still they come!

Aptly named B-Movie for the European release, this game puts you in the pilot seat of numerous advanced aircraft, defending Earth from a Martian invasion in an impressively large map action at sleek 60 fps and an aggressive LOD system where every little house and object has several levels of detail and textures, creating a very grungy but smooth look with some gorgeous low poly models and Amiga-era pixel art texture work in a sort of clumsy but breakneck fast arcade gameplay.

Here we have the aerodynamic Red Devil fighter ship doing a whoosh over a small rural town near Washington D.C. with lots of little adorable low-poly houses, a church and trees as the orange sunset skies bring forth a fleet of UFOs, several smaller and flatter ones and a larger bowl-shaped saucer with neon green udders.The awesome silver and red fighter jet called Tsunami, looking like something straight of out Raiden or another cool Japanese shmup, doing a tight right turn while flying over an urban area at night while Steed, whatever wingman dude or mission critical characters he might be (I wasn't paying attention) is saying "On my way to his home, cover me".

OK dude, I'm not gonna lie to your partner about your affair or whatever it is you're doing, I'm fighting Martians over here.The sleek silver Cobra ship with two large engine exhausts on the side, flying over the White House under the beautiful pink skies with the Washington Monument obelisk looking erect in the distance as black flying saucers start shooting blue laser fire at the building.

My hunch tells me I should just let them do their thing and not interfere.The outside hull of a giant mothership with many green domes, generators and trenches lit in orange lights as you fly the B-62 Mk. III, a WWII looking jet with lots of black and white stripes and checkered patterns on its wings and fins, doing a strafe run as its blue engine leaves a thin blue streak as it comes from the right, targeting some structures as a little green butt-naked alien with a big orange megaphone looking gun looks around.

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse
kayinnasaki

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with  those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming
