this is like someone having the flu and the doctor cuts their leg off, then when the flu gets worse they just look at the saw in their hands and cut the other leg off

yeah i'm starting to think this is purposeful deflection. "oh no soylent green might turn into godzilla you better regulate VERY CAREFULLY who's allowed to sell it and we're prepared to work closely with you to be the only ones left" meanwhile nobody looks into what actually goes into soylent green

My friend made a cool game on a game jam and within a month a slopclone of it is on Steam. This is happening every day for indie devs and I hate it.

Every paragraph of the article is proof that AI is 90% vaporware and marketing. Every technical flaw is spinned to be human, every bug to be a feature (you're just not squinting hard enough) and consistency of proponents logical arguments is irrelevant at best

A lot of glazing going on in the comments here about Japanese labour laws. Konami is listed in the title - the same Konami that literally locked in their workers for crunch. As much as I love Japan, crunch is even prevalent outside of games there don't miscredit their "healthy" jobs as sanctuary.

People would be shocked how often a romance mechanic is planned or pitched for a game that could genuinely benefit from it, only to be blocked by a single oldhead dude in leadership despite everyone else being into the idea because he thinks romance game play is "weird" or "cringe."

Man I already feel like we've done SO WELL to get the funding + grants we have got. And at the same time it feels like 'wild success' post launch would be that I can have an 'ok' living for 1 person for a few more years. And that idea of 'ok' would still be below median wage for my country.

Don't forget that you may know people going through it & burying their struggles deep. There's so much stigma surrounding mental health issues. Breaking down that wall of stigma is EVERYTHING. Start a conversation. Show folks they matter. Listen to them. You could make a life-changing difference.

For World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10th:

Remember to check-in on people who:

-have been quiet lately
-never ask for help
-always seem happy
-come across as 'strong'
-seem to have it all 'figured out'
-are going through life transitions
-are always there for everyone else
-say they're 'fine'
-you haven't heard from recently

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

Just launched Teams 101 - the most complex course among the eight. It covers everything from hiring to firing, motivation and trust, leadership and conflict resolution - it's a lot, dense, and sadly a course that many indie studios could benefit from their founders, directors, and leads taking.

Teams 101 - Levelling the Playing Field

The healthy way to lead a small team, from giving good feedback to handling the conflicts you'd rather avoid.

It's my birthday today!!! So here's my art! 🎉✨

Illustration made during Paul Scott Canavan's mentorship. It features a man wearing black and red, with a bird's mask and swords on his hips. His hand is stretched up as a large hawk-like bird is going to land on his glove. Behind him, he has a grey horse with its ears drawn back. Both the bird and the horse's eyes are glowing. They are all in the middle of a dark, foggy nordic forest with aurora in the dark sky.

La belle dame sans merci by Frank Bernard Dicksee version of Hans and Henry from Kingdom Come Deliverance

Two illustrations. To the left is a vampire in anguish, blood dripping down his mouth, hands over his face and over his heart, as two long-fingered hands with claws are coming from above, trying to get to him.

The second image is Lucia in the dark, holding a candle, wearing a more victorian inspired outfit. There's a sliver of a glowing circle behind her. Her eyes are glowing.

Two Illustrations. To the left is an illustration of Alistair Theirin, wearing a grey warden uniform but standing, kinda sadly, in front of a wall holding a crown over his head.

To the right is an illustration of Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium leaning against a wall-like thing, holding a cigarette, blowing out smoke that swirls around the image. there's a small strip of light glowing on his face and glasses.
