Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

Tonight, I really hate being disabled, & I hate struggling all the time even when I have help and support, & I hate feeling inadequate & not good enough for any of my relationships & I hate feeling so broken & unable to feel satisfied & happy, and I hate being hypomanic & depressed at once.

This kind of statement is basically implying that a healthy person has many possibilities, opportunities, and freedoms, including the right to have dreams, but disabled people have no value until they are "better" & are worse if they dont only focus on being "better." Trump is ableist at core.

Bear@fabbybear.itch.io

One of our cats (twiggy) had to be taken to emergency vet again We are unemployed and diving into rent money to be able to pay the vet bills, last time this cost about 2k which is money we just don't have right now If you are able to help we would really apreciate it ko-fi.com/fabby_garza

I really liked the Street Fighter movie, I thought it was fun and I'm sad it flopped. Unrelatedly, I fuckin hate hypomania, I'm tired 😩

I found out today that I may need to get clavicular sternal fusion surgery and that it might be kinda tough to get on top of that, and it's got me super anxious & scared. It's making all my excitement about moving to Denver this Christmas to be healthier feel a bit dampened. It's never gonna end.:(

please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die

this is part of the whole "everyone is making products and assuming there are consumers simply because they have products to sell" phase of economics. the people who are making decisions are disconnected from the market entirely.

No offense intended to anyone involved, but this is one of the most bleak & depressing articles I've seen in games in years for a variety of reasons, and it's particularly impactful to me (having been early press & playtester for some Magpie work including Urban Shadows & Masks, & a contributor).

The state of games as an industry is fundamentally broken, and this article confirms how much that's impacted the artistic and creative side of it. I haven't finished & released the Turn supplement for a lot of reasons but many are included here, including "what audience is even there?" Gross tbh.

Like I couldn't maintain the business side while I've been half-to-whole-dying off and on for the last several years, and the supplement was intended as a fully charitable project, which I paid for fully out of pocket and had multiple writers involved & now I don't think it'd sell a single copy.

Addiction by Design was published all the way back in 2012 and I think it’s the best (and absolutely devastating) book about the mechanics and economics of the predatory gaming industry It wasn’t even about video games, but you could map it to our sphere almost 1-to-1

While a lot of the high level concepts regarding manipulation and engagement tinkering are likely true, they've also ALWAYS been true and we've known it for decades because very smart people did the research and studied this shit

I saw what I think was an itch or RPG trader game in passing called Pallbearers and it had old style 2d pixel look. Anyone recall this game?
