bro looks like he just took the last piece of cake instead of the world's supply of consumer RAM and also all their creative output and intellectual property and then encouraged people to try and sell it back to us and pretend we don't know where it came from. how's the cake, sam? bitter enough?

also an article that's obviously been written with AI. saw the first assertion that something was "real", skipped down to the "it's not just x, it's y", then saw the out of context use of tables. if a person didn't write it, it wasn't worth writing in the first place.

i thought twitch was losing money, was never profitable? that's why they needed the 50% cut, why the streams are littered with ads, why there's twitch-led sponsorships, why amazon has to keep it afloat. so why is being the 7 year CPO of this apparently failing company a good thing for whatnot?

today's game of "spot the AI marketing copy". it's Ovani Sound, by the way.

AI marketing copy:

"HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

When something good is coming, a new pack, a flash sale, a limited offer, the *VIP text list hears it first*. Sometimes hours before email. Sometimes before it goes public at all.

By the time it lands in everyone's inbox, VIP already had the jump.

*No spam. No daily noises". Just first access when it actually counts.

Get on the list. Skip the slow lane."

also now everything quixel is in this massive archive that i had to script to search for consistently. depending on where you search on fab you may or may not find it. i search the store, i find it listed as in my library. i search my library, it's not there. observation makes the assets disappear.

Robots Make Games @robotsmakegames.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

as a long time user of unreal engine i like to complain a lot to make myself feel less stupid for a bit. we had quixel pro before epic. the migration was awful. quixel is an archive now. nothing is updated. everything is through fab. my 20mb mesh is stuck in a queue behind a 10gb download. hi btw.

Robots Make Games @robotsmakegames.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

whoever at epic designed this genius way of viewing a page on the fab store from the unreal launcher. i mean. ooooh. i just want to shake them by the- well, let's start with wanting to shake them vigorously and go from there. we went from dogfooding to dogshitting, didn't we? details in alt text.

A screenshot of how Unreal Engine launcher users access the Fab.com store by default inside the Unreal Engine launcher - which is where all our assets are. Hark! at the fact that clicking on a page doesn't take you to an asset page, but instead pops up a narrow modal on the right where you can imbue next to no information without scrolling down all the way because it's condensed all the information into a narrow modal! See those three symbols on the top right? Well, just to save you time, the right two do the same fucking thing! Yes, that's right, close and collapse have no functional difference! Because why the fuck would they. No misclicking for you! No, because all OUR buttons have exactly the same purpose!

And don't you worry, game devs! Because if you thought it was a pain having TWO buttons doing exactly the same thing, here's what happens when you click into a screenshot! That's right, now you get NO buttons? How do you get out? Great question? Apparently you just click fucking randomly until it closes or something, because there's no good reason for it to work, and work consistently, right? We don't need consistency in UX design. No, what we need is to throw crumbs to all the people who used the old store FOR A FUCKING DECADE and who asked very nicely for it to go back to how it was an be usable in the launcher. Which, to be fair, they did. But in what could only be described as an Epic fucking power move, they took it upon themselves to make it one quarter as functional as it used to be!

there's also other integrations that make me realise how heavily pipeline dependent i am right now. they can mostly all fall into the nice to have category at the moment, or the scrape some shit together for internal use category. but having external tools at some point is a must.
