Well, it finally happened. Someone trained an AI on my voice, and used it to generate narration for their YouTube video. Feels pretty bad! Don't like it! I've submitted a privacy complaint with YouTube - hopefully they'll take it down soon.

Into the Restless Ruins is a deckbuilder in the Scottish highlands, where you create a dungeon then battle through it. Out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2877770/...

Hey bsky! 👋 I'm Lenja, a solo indie dev based in Berlin, Germany. Here's what I'm currently working on: My 6 month old prototype for a game about spreading water in the desert and watching things grow. 🌱✨

This is already how games work if you are over 35

this is beyond sick as hell

🚨🚨🚨BLUESKY WE ARE LIVE!!!!🚨🚨🚨 Do you like little critters? 🐭 Quaint Victorian-esque English countryside? 🌳🌳Farming, town building... maybe even...dressing them up?🎩 Boy, have I got the Kickstarter for you! PLEASE SUPPORT US! www.kickstarter.com/projects/nea...

Finished the Oblivion Remastered Thieves Guild tonight and it's every bit as great as I remember! Love the feeling of being part of a jolly band of rogues.

BBC: Why don't women use ChatGPT? Woman: I tried it and it just barfed out useless garbage BBC: Women don't use ChatGPT because it's too difficult for their pretty little heads

It is actually so easy to get bogged down with choice paralysis in the Oblivion Remaster. Part of my problem as well is I spend too long thinking "does this make sense for my character?" and then immediately plan a new character for whom it does make sense lmao!

There's a work-in-progress version of my little #pico8 flight simulator here: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=148... I'd really appreciate any feedback, particularly if it helps me tweak the flight model to be (somewhat) more realistic.

Honestly fuck the UK court ruling, fuck the ghouls who took this issue to court in the first place, and fuck the bigots who supported it. Trans people are valid, their gender is valid, and they will always belong in the space they identify with. 💜

Tired: Actually writing some code Wired: Restructuring solution to split engine up into separate static library projects

oh man, that is an incredibly good VFX reel for Nosferatu. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpCg...

Yuuku preserved King's Field Mobile, a previously-lost King's Field i-mode game. A retelling of the PS1 original, it has different map layouts and an auto-map. For a real-time 3D 2004 keitai game, it's very ambitious. There's already an English patch too!

Things that are fun: a little home coding project Things that are not fun: staying up till 1am debugging the cause of a memory leak in your home project Things that are really not fun: realising the cause of the leak was a missing virtual destructor...

You can try the Microsoft just released a Quake 2 demo that runs on genAI. It forgets where you are you each time you look at the floor and soft-locks when it's to dark. A technological marvel. You can try the "Copilot Gaming Experience" here: copilot.microsoft.com/wham

Been playing Garlic on steam and it's a neat little game although starting playing in my lunch hour at work was a mistake as it doesn't support cloud saves and seems to hide where the actual save files are stored so I can't really play at home 😭

I'd be quite happy living through precedented times

Regular reminder that generative AI is the domain of the cheap, the lazy, and the talentless. Absolute losers.

Even when you hand them everything, those fucks scream at you for the plate not being silver. Another good reason to stick with real creativity.

Whaa its been a crazy few days. we are now sold out of Parasite pack on #NGage The responce has been much more than i expected. Thanks to everyone for orders and kind words Coz of the demand there may be a second run at some point but for not i need to assemble and ship these

Having seen more and more of the prices for Switch 2 stuff get revealed (along with the somewhat disappointing clarification about Duskbloods) I am turning this cook down to a simmer

Digital games should be cheaper than physical *monkey's paw finger curls*

Can't believe Bloodborne 2 is a Switch exclusive

The actual fucking cheek of Nintento to ask us to pay for the console's instruction manual lmao!

Nintendo actually cooked with that presentation. Shame there isn't an OLED display at launch but the console will definitely be getting bought!

throw this man off a cliff

This video feels really appropriate today... www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngZ0...

Ignore the terrible choice of header image, this is a great read. We cannot both be a defining medium of the 21st century, and also 'just games so don't perceive us'. Games won't make anybody fascist or violent, but the communities grown inside and around games clearly can.

Today marks 10 years since the release of Bloodborne. Honestly still one of my all time favourite games and I was definitely coping hard that we'd get an announcement today. To celebrate today I commissioned my lovely friend (who prefers anonymity) to make this amazing #illustReition

A lost NES port of god sim Populous has been found and preserved, 33 years later. (Read more: Time Extension)

Yep. Fine work, @keefstuart.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/m...

It's willingly ignorant to assign blame for AAA games studios being shuttered at anything other than corporate mismanagement and incompetence from an avaricious executive class. This is an industry where corporate suits saw monkey jpegs and thought "Yes, this is the future of gaming!"

F.E.A.R. Platinum has been added to GOG's Preservation Program. The classic horror game was intended to be added later, but was accelerated due to honour its developer Monolith, which was closed yesterday by Warner Bros. (GOG store page)

One unfortunate outcome of the shutdown of Monolith Productions today was the erasure of the studio's website It's archived back to 1996 and, as of last week, proudly displayed a timeline of Monolith's best work Today, lith.com redirects to warnerbrosgames.com www.gamefile.news/p/warner-bro...

I'm livid & frustrated that Bloodborne PSX has been DMCA'd. When I started @noclipvideo.bsky.social the idea was to preserve stories because the games or creators may not be available in the future. I didn't expect our one first so soon. So sorry @b0tster.yeag.gay. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZBN...

Every one of these guys thinks they’re Oppenheimer mixed with Andrew Carnegie and they own something called SplortDotCom that got bought by Boozoo

i want gayer games with gayer graphics made by the gayest people and i'm not joking
