New season of Black Mirror is out, so it's time to share the tweet:

forget cloning wolves and mammoths, resurrect something society actually needs: the Conversation Pit

The rich feel safe advocating for this shit because they have enormous resources to protect their investments & you do not. Further eroding the barriers of intellectual property between creator & corporation merely hastens the speed at which what's yours is theirs. What's theirs will still be theirs

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

You know when you have an extremely specific problem, and you google around and find the answer buried in the replies in a forum somewhere that you will probably never find again? I'm documenting my solutions online for the good of the web. It lives here for now: davemakes.com/extremelyspe...

From the creators of A Monster's Expedition comes a new, mini-adventure in the same series. The Electrifying Incident: A Monster Mini-Expedition launches on April 15th on Steam. Wishlist now store.steampowered.com/app/3352300/...

I don't need Gen AI to create an action figure version of me when this is like looking in the mirror.

dudes rock

Last but not least, these lil chompsters 🐊which one is your fav?

I finally have the battle system for Gizmopon figured out! I just need to find a good way of presenting it that isn't a 10 post tread 😅 commissioned art by @thepixelpigeon.bsky.social || #indiedev || ##monstertaming

Good morning Bluesky !

Shes done! Just wanted to still thank yall for getting me to 40! It may not be alot but I am greatful! Love u all!

I'm in love with Wobuffet's beach day uncle fit.

My main hobby is collecting good news about coffee

Currently, no! This isn’t the plan forever, but I pay myself from royalties, and my freelance work. It’s the risk calculation and model I set knowing my needs and goals, and I’m happy with it (it’s also not terribly uncommon for folks running a business in games, which is why I talk about it).

aye there’s an hour left and it takes less than a minute I know y’all not sleep

The Spinner can really help you dodge and move quickly around boss arenas, while still doing damage with firearms! Work in progress footage from ABYSS X ZERO (Maybe I'm playing too much THUG? Maybe.) Music by @ironfairy.bsky.social #gamedev #lowpoly #indiegame #axz

Please comment. mRNA boosters knock me on my ass for a solid day. Novavax makes things much easier.

Great piece about the proliferation of misinformation and the mega-corps that enable it to happen. Not just about Switch 2 game prices, sadly...

I went down a rabbit hole into the "physical Switch 2 games cost $90" claim and found a self-feeding cycle of misinformation that speaks to how Google is making us all dumber. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/no-sw...

I would not stay in a home that willingly displayed this ‘Joel with brick’ Last of Us bust

Not sure what they were thinking not giving the Switch 2 Pro Controller analog triggers. How will GameCube games even be playable on that thing? Doesn't Fzero GX heavily rely on the triggers being half-pressable?And running with FLUDD in Sunshine! Would hate to see a solution similar to 3D All-Stars

I liked the idea of antagonists getting introduced in my women's boxing comic idea with their faces mostly obscured by sparring headgear, so here's Akshara. A friend said it has "Dorohedoro" vibes cause of the noise layer I experimented with, and honestly I'm not mad at that!

re-upping my position that raimi’s spider-man 2 is the single best superhero ever made, one of his best movies, and also the closest thing anyone has ever done to putting a silver age comic directly on screen

This but semi-unironically.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

I'm sure people have already said this, but I find it rather funny that so many people complaining about the price of the Switch 2 are the same people who wanted it to have tons of new features and fantastic hardware compared to the first Switch.
