the layers of game dev history just in this simple cheat are extraordinary

An illustration from the Frog and Toad books of the two main characters holding a box. The text reads, "Frog put the game on a schedule. "There," he said. "Now we will finish the game." "But we can ignore the schedule," said Toad. "That is true," said Frog."

(look I have been both Toad and Frog over the years ok)

X's product head has multiple brushes with death from failing to chew

mercifully you can completely ignore most of them in xenoblade. the ones you can't are a curse upon us all and will torment me until my dying breath

Kudos to anyone who distributes the shooting version of a movie script rather than the usual half-transcripts you see (or may’ve seen sold with red bound covers at Suncoast Video and whatnot)

goddamn right it did

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.

Lots of possibilities.

Article from Pink News with the headline: ‘Toxic’ music video director claims Avatar had no cultural impact because gays don’t like it Sub headline: Influential music video director Joseph Kahn has suggested that the Avatar film franchise has had “no cultural impact” as gay people “cannot give a f**k” about it.

i got my key for this a couple weeks ago and it really got its hooks in me. it's got its issues with some metrics here and there but not nearly enough to stop me. played a bunch of games over the break and this one was my favorite

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.

"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

It's been a long, horrible time in games media, but finding out about this put a giant smile on my face: bsky.app/profile/game...

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!
