If I was a dev and I had spent years working on a game and my boss went on stage and looked like this much of a jackass I'd be so pissed

DO NOT BUY JURASSIC WORLD EVOLUTION 3 They’re using ai generation in their game, boycott this shit and force their hand to remove this garbage from their game entirely. store.steampowered.com/app/2958130/...

the windmill now runs at a consistent frame rate

Tada

Ok I’ll bite, what’s a Nintendo switch 2

happy pride to these two queens

Happy pride month!

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

I know what folks are actually asking for when they post about wishing shows like Dr. Who or Obiwan Kenobi would get the 'Andor treatment', but it's really funny that it mostly just boils down to "please make it but good"

AI is not inevitable. When tech is forced down our throats by companies desperate to find the "the next big thing", it usually falls on its ass. 3DTVs Metaverse AR glasses If something is giving you the ick, it's probably giving EVERYONE the ick.

Palestinians must be heard.

todays mood

the word for this is not "some form of email changes"

Hey, mates! Looking to speak with Palestinian video game developers! If you or you know of any Palestinian developers willing to chat with me about something I been working on for more than a month—would be immensely appreciated! Please, message/follow/repost! Can be safe/anonymous as you like!

Firmly in the ‘Tony Dalton deserves his Walton Goggins moment’ camp

Final Reckoning might not be the strongest entry in the Mission Impossible series, but it has Tom Cruise manually turning a valve which increases the aspect ratio from Widescreen to IMAX so it’s impossible to say it’s bad

There are many wonderful game accessibility nonprofits doing life changing work, from SpecialEffect to Makers Making Change, from NothingWithoutUs to Everyone Can, from CapGame to Warfighter Engaged to GameToo to the Let's Play Games Project. Don't let the current news distract from that.

This is definitely a very hard report to read. Especially for those who are in the accessibility space. But I encourage you to read it. The only thing I will say is I trust Grant's reporting 100%. His integrity is above reproach and he doesn't report these allegations lightly or for gossip.

"Using the water cannon, a tool that is primarily used to clean, as a weapon that causes the destruction of the antagonist ship, is pretty punk." Read @jeremy.minimap.com.au's review of Spilled! here: minimap.com.au/2025/05/spil...

we gotta get him over here

an option here would be to simply not promote the game that's using AI in its key art

The amount of people I have had to call out in a public/group setting for saying it in the last year is so shocking and disappointing. Just so causally said too, utterly fucked

me when I see a mental health professional who doubles an an optometrist: well aren’t you a psych for sore eyes

this playlist of '50 Roland TB-303 songs that absolutely rip' is not helping me control my impulse to purchase a Roland TB-303.

The ALP states it values solidarity above all else. There is a party line, walk it. This means it values solidarity above morality seemingly as a matter of principle. Ultimately then you get a large unthinking, unfeeling bloc that agrees with itself while the world rots around it

fuck yeah, Giant Bomb lives
