Yes it is wild how much of the internet security has been cracked open lately but Bruno is right. If it really was as simple as they claim, bad actors would have already demolished the internet in its entirety.

too many people think code is a binary and it either works or it doesn't, when really it's a spectrum from "does it blow up (almost) every time" to "this will never have an issue" code that looks like it works can only *mostly* work, and that's often the worst code of all this is a post about AI

Straight up flat chinnin' it

the constant grind of semiotic violence from AI is so fucking exhausting man. read some text that doesn't say anything. look at some images that don't mean anything. here's some code I didn't write and quite possibly haven't run, presented as if it's a solution to a problem

Turns out you're a lot more productive in game dev when you finally commit to game design decisions. Who woulda thunk it?

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

The faceplant returns

@gameengines.bsky.social I would like Godot please!

Break time cuddles

I suppose I could actually post what the in game thing looks like. I do in fact have the power.

Finally getting back to some game dev. Pretty happy with how this enemy design came out. In engine, I've already added particle effects to make it a flaming skull (hence the orange eyes).

I think she missed me

PAX was good, but nothing beats this

sad news for all the vibe coders which apparently includes the leadership of this webbed site but i can do this cool trick where once i determine what the structure of the code should actually be to avoid future tech debt i can simply put it down into text at the speed of typing you know. coding

Cars are famously a great technology to have redesigned civilization around

Ironic how even the metaphor fails to understand the underlying issues. Safer / electric cars are not the solution, expanded public transport is. Those that don't use AI to code (me) aren't just trying to ride an ethical high horse. I actually enjoy the act of writing code / working on a problem.

First mini I've ever painted, done at the free paint & take at PAX West. My wallet trembles in fear for the future...

Where's my fucking open-source image editing tool that actually competes with Photoshop? Where's my Wayland compositor that genuinely doesn't suck? Where's my fix for every NVidia driver problem on Linux? You keep saying how great these tools are then making nothing good with them!

Who up PAX-ing their West this weekend?

…that means that YOU CANNOT PROMPT ENGINEERING YOUR WAY OUT OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ARCHITECTURE OF THESE SYSTEMS. They are GOING to output bullshit, because they are Bullshit Engines.

Apparently the crippling Satisfactory addiction will continue until moral improves

This is a cat checkpoint. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

Ok I guess I forgive him

Can't believe he'd glare at me while sunbathing

In an act of terrorism against my free time, I have started playing Satisfactory

Rhythm games are the most distilled form of gaming for 2 reasons: 1. It's all about pressing buttons at the right time 2. We keep playing it for the music

Alright y'all, this is it! The final stretch for the game industry hardship fund. We've got $13k to raise in 14 hours to meet the final goal, I think we can do it. itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Holy Grail of imposter syndrome evaporator

Cinnamon roll time #cat

This did up being successful. Now I just need to multi thread it...

Love stewing on a problem for multiple days until the solution finally manifests right as I'm going to bed (genuinely). Now to implement it and see if it actually works...

Great piece synthesizing why LLMs "work" for coding, and why I'll never use them

Who could have seen that one coming, I wonder

how it feels to be computer literate enough to avoid giving my bank account information to peter thiel in order to log on to a website

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

She's "helping" with the move

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet

I think the pushback to AI coding has to be fundamentally different than the one to subsets of output like generative visual art; and further all must be driven by externalities not capabilities. (and there are plenty of good ones in that vein)

i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding

Today we begin the official NLRB election for recognition of our union. We start with in person voting today followed by a period for remote workers to mail in ballots. We’re excited for every worker to have a chance to vote and look forward to the results in a couple weeks.
