Really enjoyed this chat with @aarimous.com, thanks for having me on Scope Creepers!!

Worried about getting left behind? Just grab a sword and yell charge

So shines a good game in a weary world

This; the differentiating magic happens when you’re *doing the work*, I don’t know what else to say. AI bros wrongly imagine the creative process as “imagine a widget a priori then build it” and it’s almost never like that.

"Programming is hard", writes the company behind Unreal Engine, where coders for decades maintained foundational pieces of engineering underpinning the games industry, admitting that layoffs & sloprot left them unable to code basically an advanced student project store.epicgames.com/news/epic-ga...

Great. Seriously. Please flush Marvel and Star Wars down the toilet via enslopification. It'd be a huge fucking service to take these evergreen cultural "commodities" out of rotation for a few decades. This stuff should melt away like a sandcastle on a beach. Not last longer than a human generation.

Late stage slopitalism

what is even happening in this one

divorce gonna hit real different

I’d bet my left nut that Meta uses machine learning to clip Threads previews in Instagram in the most clickbaity way possible. It’s fucken diabolical.

Did you know that if an AI does your crime you can't go to jail for it?

worldspace (spatial fragment shader) halftone overlay, but halftones are kept at a consistent density regardless of distance/depth. the halftone texture is applied in hmm "object screen space" (?? not sure what to call this) so it doesn't swim as you move around. #indiedev #godot #gamedev

I don’t usually meddle on the writing side of Jeopardy!, but tonight I called in a favor for our Bluesky viewers.

“It’s not a sprint it’s a marathon” ok but a marathon is still actually a race yaknow

LETS GO #KRAKEN!!!

what is the opposite of the communist bugs bunny meme

I've had the pleasure of watching Ghost Eater come together over the years, and let me tell you: it's really something special. But, I think you can probably easily see that for yourself? Just. Look. At. It. Playtest is live now, get on it!!! #indiegames #indiedev

They're called Astra games cuz they suck asstra

Do not even fucking start with this shit

Love naming those testing NPCs

Not too surprised by this at the end of the day but umm if you do this in #Godot in a spatial fragment shader: if (false) { ALPHA = *anything* }; ... you're still gonna end up in the transparent queue. Hope that saves you ~10+ minutes of hairpulling some day ...

creator of torment nexus begs public to stop them from building the torment nexus so fast. "we gotta stop," said the one person empowered to make it stop, "if only there was a way"

ok i think i had somehow deleted my run and that sucks but even in spite of that, i think VHOLUME might be one of the best games i've ever played

that's ok I'm sure the Kraken at least will have a great season for Seattle sports yes indubitably

Make your hazers your glazers at the tazer of life

Thanks...? #indiedev #godot #gamedev

Hoping bsky won't slaughter the fine detail in this image, but I now have a full 3d-to-separated halftone layers stylization running in-game: this is a 3d scene where distinct objects are stylized in screen space w/ different halftone patterns. Full lighting is running, so the torch flickers etc.

Number of times I've heard devs on youtube talk about "making 10 games so i get 1 hit" 😵 ... try this instead: You have a 10% chance (generous estimate) of EVER making one hit. You have a 1% chance of EVER making two hits. You have a 0.1% chance of EVER making three hits. etc.

Now That's What I Call Topology

Lit RPGs are the incremental games of books (complimentary)

Eclipse big deal I can just make one with AI whenever I want

Overheard saying was she

The Wachowski sisters didn't use 120 cameras to film one shot just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
