I feel that certain forms of art are relatively insultated from the threat of AI. It will create a bifurcated market, where people who engage with art primarily as a distraction will bow to the machine, whereas people that use art for its emotional value will pay a premium for human made stuff.

Kingdom Hearts 1+2 best quality is not IP crossover but the expert understanding and empathy of the player's nostalgia, not for IP and familiar characters, but the nostalgia you felt as a child- child like yearning. Children yearn in the evening for what they experienced just that morning.

Art tip: don't share everything you draw. Draw things you never intend to show anyone. Your brain needs time to just exist in a state that's not about performing for strangers. This used to be the normal way to exist before social media poisoned us.

If a game connected with you & changed your tastes in some meaningful way pls do urself favor and dig up the devs, their past work, their scene/peers & their influences. Don't be like those ppl who find the latest game in a long tradition & treat it like an exception

if it's layoffs on ship no matter what, never pay that company for anything. why would you. your money will never reach anyone who worked on what you bought, or respected those people. you'll not be investing in anything in any sense software is on the honour system and these people have no honour

On the topic of vibecoding in retro gaming, it should also be made aware that the lack of information about making custom games for old systems has lead to people vibe-coding games. If you don't want people to vibe-code, then we NEED to have more ACCESSIBLE information ABOUT coding in general!

PSA google “NAS”, Buy yourself a hard drive and plug it into your router, it’s life changing and maybe a great way to rebel against corporations telling you you can’t own a digital file due to enforced scarcity :D the rise of self hosting is a direct result of streaming and loss of ownership.

Bethan's Rock is a small grey stone on display at Poole Museum in Poole, England. It was donated to the museum in 2019 by a five-year-old girl named Bethan, and it has since attracted significant attention on social media and become the museum's most famous object. - Wikipedia

Heads up! We’re about to make some shifts to Playdate’s production — no, none to Playdate itself — which means a factory pause. Soon, Playdate will be temporarily "sold out”. Once we're back up, more stock will start to arrive later this year. But if you want a Playdate soon… now's the time to buy!

Gaming is more accessible than ever to all, itch.io has tons of games for free, steam, mobile, tons of free/ super cheap absolute masterpieces. It’s capitalist propaganda that you have to be paying 80$ for the latest release to be participating in the culture, don’t buy it!
