Come chat with me about feminine computer creativity :) Did you make experimental hobbyist games? Did you mod the sims? Did you make Neopets fan sites? Are you Australian and over 18yo?

A participant recruitment flyer for a research project on feminine computer creativity. An image of a Sims house and a Neopets character are included on the poster.

The callout reads:
"I am looking to talk with people who used computers for hobbyist non- commercial feminine creativity relevant to games. All interpretations
of femininity are welcome. This project aims to learn more about feminine tech-competency and feminine game cultures that have
been overlooked in games histories."

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Added today to UE6-Main a brand new Lumen mode; LumenRef, essentially reference quality lumen, per pixel, giving an absolutely stunning pathtraced feel to deferred renders but faster than using the path tracer, this scene has no lights, it is completely lit by those emissive. #UE6 #GameDev #VFX

it is truly remarkable how big walk is full of australian native plants and animal sounds. you just really don't ever see this level of specificity. you are big walking straight up in australia. i keep being like "oh that plant!" but my wife is in dumbstruck awe every 15 minutes.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Assuming their retrofit is successful, THIS is the kind of speaker I think should be invited to talk at a modern game dev conference. THESE are the kinds of ideas and technical explanations that acknowledge where we are and how to solve modern problems as a game dev.

God, it looks like a LOT of Accessibility specialists were hit by today's layoffs at Xbox, inclusing some of their most senior accessibility folks. This feels like a REALLY bad sign for accessibility at Xbox going forward. A huge amount of skilled talent being thrown out as part of this "shake up".

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

happy pride month from the dirtbags <3

an illustration of the dirtbag mahjong cast with "happy pride" in large lettering. there is a large banner with the trans flag being held behind the group

from left to right, vren is holding one side of the trans banner, and holds a bi pride flag alongside kori. vren is laughing and kori is facepalming. rowan stands nonchalantly next to thierry, who looks mischevious. both are holding the pink stripe rainbow flag. rhea is holding the other side of the trans banner excitedly, alongside a lesbian flag. hana has the other side of the lesbian flag held up, and is reading yuri with her other hand.

people (myself included) have always talked about how there will be a time when a certain unreal version becomes the new canon "last good version" that an extraordinary amount of developers lock themselves to, supported by the license agreement. the time is coming really fucking soon.

epic has seemingly abandoned visual verse, the stupid idea that was gonna replace blueprint. so now they just want to remove blueprint entirely and shoot themselves in the dick by getting rid of the most compelling sell (imo) of unreal

Replying to @WistfulHopes
Two epic employees confirmed to me that blueprint is being depricated and they have zero plans to support any type of visual scripting.

as predicted! There will be literally no point in anyone installing UE6 I would say "unless they roll back the AI and Verse shit", but that's the whole thing. We're only 8 versions into UE5, UE4 got to 27. UE6 is illegitimate, it's not anything *but* a product of ai psychosis

I am so fucking sick of my website getting scraped. Millions of requests per minute, somehow designed to bypass all my security rules, choking the site until it completely stops loading. If I were paying for bandwidth, it would cost me a fortune. How is this legal?
