They fundamentally can't understand why creative people are creative As an artist I'm hoping to make a game one day, but if I tell a bot to make it then what is the point? It's not ME who created it so there's no value in putting it out there To them selling a product is the point, not creating

In 1984, Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris. Then he spent the next forty years making other things and none of them found the same success. They're overlooked, forgotten, and ignored, which is why I wanted to explore what Pajitnov did beyond Tetris. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH_L...

Video games are RUINING gaming. RT if you think gaming was better before games

People are memeing on the new Wolverine game for its poor dialogue, bugs, linearity etc.. But really, the saddest part is that it looks like yet another uninteresting, monotonous, over-budget hack and slash game. Basically, everything wrong with the modern AAA game industry.

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...

What's the secret to Final Fantasy VII Revelation only taking three years to make? A consistent vision and retaining 95% of their staff. I spoke to director Naoki Hamaguchi about Revelation's development, what he's doing next (no more remakes!), and much more. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Subnautica 2 launched 20 minutes ago. Safe to say Krafton will be forced to pay out the $250 million bonus it tried very hard (via advice of ChatGPT) to avoid paying

I really enjoyed reading Fighter Wizard Elf by @jonathantweet.bsky.social. I love peering into the mind of super experienced rpg designers and the rules they use when there are no constraints. “provide new-school powers for characters and monsters, delivered at old-school speed.”

This is the book I habitually recommend to everyone who expresses even the slightest interest in running a game of D&D.

The MacBook Neo is such an interesting machine that it coaxed a thousand-word-essay out of me: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...

An obscure detail in early Pokemon games: In the Pewter City Pokemart in Gen 1, there is an NPC complaining that he was ripped off by a Magikarp salesman. But if you visit the same building in Gen 2, you can find the same person bragging about a Gyarados he's trained.

Next year the PlayStation 3 will be older than the NES was when the PS3 launched.

This is a fantastic interview in general, but the realness of this particular answer stopped me cold

Feeling weirdly nostalgic for my aqua blue original Nintendo 3DS today. It was objectively one of Nintendo's weirder console designs. Everybody wants gaming handhelds to go back to being transparent (which hey, fair), but I think more gaming handhelds should be glossy, sparkly fingerprint magnets.

Reminder, this Friday all my open source code is available at a 50% discount!

Xbox 360 is now 20 years old (November 22, 2005)

Today also marks the 21st Anniversary of my favourite console ever, the Nintendo DS! 💫 It's where I've found my love for JRPG, playing my first Final Fantasy, my first Dragon Quest, Golden Sun, Chrono Trigger... On top of many very creative and original games using its gimmicks! Top 10 later...

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

The Steam Machine will live or die on its pricing, I think, but it's hard not to be bullish. SteamOS is fantastic and the Steam Deck has been my most-used gaming machine since it came out nearly four years ago

Apple Silicon Product History 5 years ago today, Apple introduced the first Macs powered by Apple Silicon. Here's a timeline of every M-series chip and the products that launched with them.

Cornering you at a party and explaining this while never breaking eye contact

I feel like there needs to be a t-shirt that says something along the lines of “I work in tech, and all I got was this lousy RSI.”

happy windows 10 death day to all who celebrate

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

TIL that on macOS, if you press the ⌥⌘F5 key combination or hit the Touch ID button three times rapidly, it brings up a sheet that lets you quickly toggle accessibility options. #Accessibility #apple #macOS

Picked this up from a local game store (with the box and manual)! Sonic 2 was the first game I ever played, and still my favorite game of all time. It’s good to own the original cartridge again.

If you love some tab, set it free. If you load it again later, it was meant to be. And if the content doesn't come back, it was never yours... Or wait for oom-killer to do it for you 🤣

Bit the bullet and updated to iOS 26 and… I don’t completely hate Liquid Glass. It does have legibility/contrast issues and bugs (in Music, Safari, and Files in particular) but overall, it does feel fresh and reminds me of early OS X. In both the good AND bad ways. #apple #liquidglass #ios26
