Not a day goes by when I don't get at least a little annoyed by GenAI. Never prayed for the downfall of anything quite as hard as this nonsense.

Removing credits like this is childish behaviour. Worse still, it's punching down rather than lifting up other creators and designers. I have huge respect for Alan's response, and the New Voices grant is such a cool thing! Still, maybe consider picking up a different puzzle game instead?

Friend looking for a job is finding the worst scumbags. Twice he's been called a "barbarian" or a "savage" because he has a broad Scottish accent. Now, yesterday, after he asked "where is the job based?", the reply was simply "You don't sound like an alpha" followed by the phone being hung up.

yeah sure whatever, let lara croft cook potato stew on her phone for 2m0s of damage resistance who gives a shit anymore
a screenshot from the upcoming remake of Tomb Raider 1. lara croft is looking at her phone in the middle of an ancient ruin, and it's showing her a generic crafting menu, and a png of saucepan of stew that apparently her phone lets her cook for "Damage resistance" if she has 6 potatoes

Me, testing an AI coding tool to see how it does converting an image to black and white in Pygame This is not necessarily simple, but there are two built in transform functions that let you do it. This is a thread of what the AI attempted to do It gave solutions that would work, but really poorly

Absolutely classic grifter behaviour. "Wait, I'm not allowed to con people into thinking I made this? Fuck you!" Anyone who seriously still thinks this isn't all a massive grift needs to have a word with themselves.

As I said during the last Steam Next Fest, yes, there were a ton of low-effort games obviously made with AI. And yes, they were all over the demo showcase page. For about one day. Once things fell into place and games were ranked based on what people played, you had to dig HUNDREDS deep to find AI.

As someone with ADHD who genuinely struggles day to day because of it; fuck all the way off. Don't use my neurodivergency and disability to promote your life destroying garbage. It is absolutely vile and disgusting behaviour. I hope the walls come crashing down on this bullshit as soon as possible.

This is honestly PR malpractice, one of those cases of the PR person interjecting that instantly makes it seem like you're hiding something. But at the same time, Adams comes off terrible here because he gets asked an extremely straightforward question and immediately freezes.

Man, OOT really does just keep coming back and surviving on nostalgia alone. Unless they've put in some serious work to update the mechanics, it just doesn't even remotely hold a candle to modern games.
