TRS (Ilan Komrad) (Nullpoint Protocol -WISHLIST ON STEAM)

Cairn embargo is up and I am so pleased to say the game is a triumph. Gorgeous, nerve-wracking, and I don't think I've ever heard a vocal performance like the one given by the protagonist. Just a coiled spring of determination and anger. Remarkable.

Wow, this looks promising! Time for testing!

Anyone know good resources for affordable mock reviews for in development games?

X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

Look, either stuff posted on Twitter/X is being policed to the usual standards of online content or it isn't. If the government's position is, "We don't like it, but we can't stop it" then it has just become de facto legal to view and even post CSAM there.

Diving into 2026 be like.

Backlash over Larian CEO's AI comments is a leadership problem CEO Swen Vincke angered developers with his description of how Larian Studios is using generative AI. There's good reason for it.

Dev backlash over Larian CEO's genAI praise is about leadership, not just tech

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

To quote @lukeplunkett.com :

My favourite thing I heard of like this is a debugging feature in Alien Isolation where instead of hissing the Alien states aloud what it's thinking about.

"I heard you. I am hunting you. I am hunting you. I am hunting you. I have found you."

aw hell yeah it came from the desert, one of the best examples of games when i'm trying to describe the era of "every single part of the story needs a completely different set of game mechanics, because of course" approach to game design

The most powerful narrative device a game can deploy is "throw you back to the main menu but it's different"

All art is political. All games are political whether you want them to be or not. Pass it on.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

Game design is the art of creating an enticing itch and rewarding you for scratching it.

Me: What about this one?
Carly Simon: For the last time, NONE of them are about you!

i spoke to LOADS of people about this very recently, and the only people using it regularly were the dipshits in charge

Wow, can't believe soulless, dead-eyed slop merchant Mr Beast doesn't like charismatic, kind, empathetic NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I wish just once a reporter would ask some of the men behind these technologies: Does it bother you knowing that you've created an engine to skip the need for their consent after death from women who likely would have never consented while living?

It's insane that someone at the Jellybean company was like "What if we make some bad flavors ON PURPOSE?" And it got approved and was actually successful.
