That's ok. My time is also limited. So i'll choose not to waste it playing games made with AI.

My game has a mini OS for changing options and viewing collectibles. Plus it has a breakout minigame

I’m excited about this game. Looks like a pretty innovative top down style game with great chiptune music

I literally worked on IBM's Watson and have zero interest in using LLMs for my work. Stop assuming we're all just ignorant. I know more about them than you do. I know more about them than 99% of people on this site do.

The next dem president must stack the court > investigate, impeach, and jail the corrupt members of the Roberts court. Never again can we allow this to happen in America

Forcing workers to give great customer service to raging narcissists has done real damage to our society because it let them think their behavior was OK #hottakes

Why don't companies like Capcom (and Nintendo) hire their talented superfans when it's clear they don't really want to do anything with their IP? It would cost them next to nothing and would create tons of goodwill

Amazon started out as a bookstore and now it's destroying books to train its AI. A perfect illustration of the decline of the tech industry from making the world better to making it worse

go tell your favorite artists you like their work. you may think they hear it enough or your praise would be identical to someone else's so you say nothing, but i promise you they would love to hear it. and sometimes they need to hear it.

Nintendo says Yoshi is canonically not a dinosaur, not a dragon, but a *turtle*. This is insane. It's rocking my world. It makes no sense!

That's a very good point. I've seen studies that show devs think AI makes them more efficient but they're actually slower. Maybe that's playing out in the real world Plus AI makes code maintenance a nightmare so that could slow down too

Flyboy Swimming! 💪 I have always been a fan of water levels in games, ever since I saw #mario with the frog costume 🐸 and the first #tmnt game 🐢 on #NES. Yes... water levels suck... but i can't help but loving them. #gbc #ドット絵 #pixelart #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #retro #metroidvania #gameboy #OC

Wario Land is fun but Wario Land II is the best one before the Wariol Land 4 masterpiece so I wonder why that one is missing

At the 1991 CES trade show, Nintendo's booth allowed attendees to stand in front of a green screen, which would then be overlaid over Super Mario World, so they could "be in the game" with Mario. The bad syncing on the overlay gives the resulting footage an extremely amateurish appearance.

Adagio of Life and Death (from the soundtrack of the same name by Joe Hisaishi) 240x420 pixel, 32 colors Celebrating Princess Mononoke's return in italian movie theatres (not my usual) #pixelart #studioghibli #princessmononoke
An illustration of a flooded forest with rich, lush vegetation from the movie Princess Mononoke, by Hayao Miyazaki. In a clearing between trees,  shrouded by warm light, the silhouette of the Forest God, looking directyl at the viewer.
Scattered across the fern leaves, the tree bark and grass, many kodama spirits can be seen.

Reflected in the lake below, the warm light dims into a nocturnal sky, as the deer god reflection takes the shape of the starlit Nightwalker.

The year is 2026 and I just got a brand new Game Boy game from @winkwinkerson.bsky.social
A GameBoy game cartridge that is a very dark grey/black. It is the game Wink and the Broken Robot. The main character has a purple body and its head is a giant eyeball with lashes growing out of the top and bottom of it.

#fckai A.I. is extremely destructive to our planet, it consumes an absurd amount of water & energy & causes pollution too. A.I. steals human jobs because the greedy billionaires don’t want to pay workers their fair share.
