I’m sure all the platforms will be rushing to pull GTA6 off them to appease MasterCard and VISA or whatever. Right?!

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

The bill has been opened to feedback. Rather than dooming about the proposal, you can tell them exactly how you feel about the act here. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... With how much of an uphill battle Chat Control is having, you should never assume it's worthless to fight these draconian bills.

Reminder of my beliefs for new followers: ACAB, no exception. Black lives always matter, not when it's just in fashion. Billionaires imprisoned, wealth distributed to infrastructure, healthcare, education, etc. Golf courses dismantled, replaced with wildlife preserves. Trans rights. Fuck GenAI.

1) This isn't about generating games or assets with AI, it's just about using automation tools for some processes like bug testing which isn't inherently bad 2) IGN should be embarrassed for this headline. It doesn't say "AI generation" as in generative AI, it's 世代, "generation" as in "time period"

TTRPG developers need to stop trying to make games 'for everybody' and start focusing on games for specific targeted audiences once again. As J. Michael Straczynski said, "Something for everyone is nothing for anyone."

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

So even if Graveyard Keeper 2 doesn't use any AI, the dev is still singing its praises, and that's enough for me to skip the game entirely. Shame, it looked really cool. But nope. This stinks. www.reddit.com/r/GraveyardK...

It would be wonderful if we could stop framing games as studio versus studio. All developers care about all games. I've never once heard a developer talk about another in this way. Most are simply glad to be doing what they love, while watching others do the same.

We optimized draw calls by 99% (lol) in Hidden Folks 2 by writing some tools to find all textures used in a level, generate a level-specific atlas, and replace individual texture references with atlas textures. Thread below 🧵👇🏼 #godotengine

Two side-by-side screenshots showing before and after we applied a texture atlas optimization to our game Hidden Folks two, the before showing 13318 draw calls and the after showing 113 draw calls

I spent my twenties mired in crunch culture. It quite literally destroyed me, created several chronic conditions, and wrecked my mental health. Crunch is never good. It should never be necessary. And if you're downing 8+ cups of coffee per day just to stay afloat, you're cashing future body checks.
