i wish you could entirely disable parts of the unity editor that you aren't using (ie built-in audio)

personally i think it's bad that a lot of indie devs seem to have realized that gambling mechanics are addicting and make games based solely around them

AAA considers competition an unfair disadvantage

Activision's head of marketing says Modern Warfare 4 has a "Call of Duty tax" to contend with. "There's obviously a lot of fandom around indie games and excitement around new games popping up ... https://kotaku.com/activisions-head-marketer-says-modern-warfare-4-faces-a-call-of-duty-tax-2000746337

the "agentic" vision of computing is a spam world where everyone has their own personal army of spam bots working 24/7 on their behalf choking everything with spam to try and get one over on the next guy. and that's just not something that can really... exist, long term?

one of these days I'm just gonna make an entire UI system from scratch and launch uGUI into the sun

what they dont tell you about being a solo game maker is there will always be at least one part of the process you are physically incapable of doing and if its one of the important parts you will simply go sisyphus mode forever

Funny how two+ years in and we're not hearing about all the massive success stories AI must be responsible for by now

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

FINALLY

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar. • Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars • Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination

the way people talk abt bluesky on twitter is so bizarre. imagine rushing to post that people are mad at you on tumblr or reddit

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
