Dude, this is genuinely so fucking disappointing. Nearly all of the commits I’ve seen for PPSSPP involve generative AI from Claude in the past week alone, and their entire newest dev blog is almost entirely written by Claude. Almost half of the commits in the past 3 months use Claude for AI code.

I can't even find myself interested in new mods, romhacks and the like anymore cuz damn near every time I check them out, Claude will be in the github contributors.

What big walk taught me as a game developer - a game design thread with (clearly marked) spoilers.

Alright, I liked YT giving us this feature for titles and thumbnails (might be an unpopular opinion, which, fair), but I think this is going overboard

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

honestly when people talk about women in currently FF and use 15 and 16 as the metric,the sentiment with the FF7Rs is they don't count because they're old games,but I think people don't realize how significantly improved the relationship between Tifa and Aerith is,or how much of a glow up Yuffie got

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as “great writing”]

I think there's some historical revisionism about how directly the OG tackles fossil fuels and climate change as a theme (it's much more about the perils of nuclear energy and bioengineering) but imo all the more reason to be addressing it in Remake

If you can't see how Cloud reflects many of FF7's core themes and get upset when someone says the game isn't solely about environmentalism and rebellion, then either you didn't get past Midgar or weren't paying attention to begin with.

The original NA version of P1 is so funny, man What do you mean every character is race swapped and also you deleted half the game

Soma Pneuma @somapneuma.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I have the protag's ultimate Persona in P1 and based off its skills, I have no idea whether the intent was: 1. The devs expect you to have this for the final fight or 2. The devs are saying you've grinded enough and to just finish the fucking game already

My favorite bit of YT game criticism was someone reviewing the 3DS version of SMT Strange Journey One of their critiques was how its use of the dual screens compared to the DS version made it a pain to create an appealing video layout

Kamaitachi no Yoru is simply one of the most important Japanese games in history, period. In the historical trajectory of novel games, if Otogirisou, Chunsoft's previous gane, is Pac-Land, this is Super Mario Brothers. It is that foundational in the storytelling and design paradigms it codified.

Might be a hot take, but 99% of YouTubers who try going in-depth on what constitutes good or bad game design without ever attempting to make a game themselves can be safely ignored

If you want to know what kind of Final Fantasy fan someone is, just ask them their thoughts on Tetsuya Nomura. Either they're chill or they go into crazed hysterics and act like he shot their dog with little in-between.

OK, regarding the Avatar game. I’ve never twisted any stranger’s arm but I need to say this: to refer to Mike Z as an ass or to say he sucks does not do justice to what happened. He sexually harassed people ON his Skull Girls team, & guess what? The people working on FGs? Many are IN our communities

When I try to talk about Epilepsy Accessibility in videogames, I've started to talk less about "how many more people can play your game" and more about how "this game can cause fatal harm to people if certain options aren't implemented, or even considered."
