I won't be posting on social media for a while since social media is not doing any favors to my mental health. Keep an eye on the Steam tab for any gamedev related updates. Thank you.

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

I'm done using AI
Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

While we wait on the DDoS mitigation to end (there's nothing we can do but wait), we've stood up a temporary landing page with an explanation of what's going on. Hope to see you again soon! tcrf.net

The Cutting Room Floor
Server offline

Welcome to The Cutting Room Floor, a wiki about cut, unused, and left over content in video games. Unfortunately, our server is currently offline due to a DDoS attack.

We'll be back as soon as possible; the server is online and healthy, but traffic to it has been blocked until the DDoS subsides.

For updates, check @tcrf.net on Bluesky. Unfortunately, we're no strangers to scrapers/AI bots and DDoS traffic...

In the mean time, consider checking out our Discord server, or support us via Patreon or Ko-fi.
This is all really stupid

This DDoS seems to have been triggered by someone using Claude Code and getting banned from the site for it, intentionally evading that ban to make up a fake story about their LLM wiping their entire OS, and then firing off multiple abuse reports to our host.

It may not surprise you that this guy has some interesting thoughts on consent, or that he has multiple blog posts in which he brags about poisoning LLMs to win championships or flooding a social network with spam to give himself 1,000,000 followers.

Why are AI people always like this.

— X, TCRF operator

Recent reviews told me they are not fond with the Korean and Japanese translations, which my Publisher is mostly responsible for. I'm trying to figure out something to improve it, but I'm not sure if that's possible without bankrupting myself.

Today’s teaser for the true ending update is a bit smaller. It might look unimportant at first, but showing what happens afterwards would probably spoil the entire ending. #indiegame #gamedev #visualnovel

GG Bavaria is done and I'm still processing it. What I keep coming back to is the people who genuinely stopped, played, had opinions about which witch is the best. Someone put the Talia merch card in their phone case on the spot. That's the part that matters! Thank you to everyone who came by 🫶✨🧹

When I started working on the true route ending in September, I expected it to take me till November since it was just supposed to be a little extra. Now, it feels like I'm almost done working on what might be Chapter 4.5.

This doesn't seem worth having a Discord account
Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet
and government sources for potential matches, such as by matching your face to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and generating risk and similarity scores for each individual. IP
addresses, browser fingerprints, device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, and even selfie backgrounds are analyzed and retained for up to three years.
