Sundance paid for me to travel to the festival so I could moderate a panel on the politics of AI. They pulled me last minute because of my q's for this movie and support of Ghost in the Machine. More details on the pod this week about what happened, but this thread makes me proud I got booted.

It was introduced by the Sundance programming rep as having "a strong sense of informational integrity", but it's hard to imagine a characterization more off the mark.
A long thread π§΅>>
I was interviewed for two documentaries about "AI" that both premiered at Sundance this year: @ghostdoc2026.bsky.social ("Ghost in the Machine") and "The AI Doc: How I Became an Apocaloptimist". As a pair, these films are a study in contrasts.

What can videogames can learn from their analogue counterparts? After all, some scholars argue that modern videogames owe their design & aesthetic trappings to old-school D&D.

This demo is REALLY good. You should take a look.
Mancala x Mega Man Battle Network.
Great loops built in. Rewards skill/strategy. Definitely hooked.
I will recommend pay close attention to any and all text, and definitely do the tutorial. Also I turned the CRT filter off, but kept the bloom.
Hey all! Super excited to be part of the New Voices Grant this year!! I didn't think this little "going back to the basics" project would get this far but I'm so happy that it did and I'm looking forward to pushing it further! :)
I promise I'll be more active on socials haha

I should go ahead and update my pinned here.
I draw character art and do gamedev, and I recently released my solo-developed project, Advent NEON! You can follow me over on the game's account too!
Or check out and buy the game for yourself (It's got a demo!): store.steampowered.com/app/1528260/...

Since the start of the decade (maybe partially due to the pandemic) there has been an explosion of awesome solo RPGs. Even if you don't have a group to play with I suggest you play some if you haven't. A lot are freely available on itch.io. Many solo RPGs deal with a lot of what you are asking about

24.01.2026 05:08 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Microscope is probably my favorite GM-less game, and I've played quite a few games of it. More traditional games have the problem of the GM, or more domineering or outspoken players, possibly crowding out other players. Microscope has very clear rules about how and when things are introduced
24.01.2026 05:07 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0One interesting thing about CRPGs in is how little of modern ttrpg design has made it over. Most games are evolutions of very early versions of "computer dnd", and not many folks have made "computer PBTA" or "computer BITD", etc. Citizen Sleeper being one of the few exceptions I can think of.

That may be disappointing or delightful. But itβs clear that most new games not in the sim, sports, shooter or simian genres have been selling a few thousand units at best on paid VR release in 2025. That doesnβt cover the complex 3D spatial dev needed for VR. (Why? The younger mass audience are happy enough in free, sandbox worlds.)
And this was in or around the VR funding boom (2017-2018). Right now we have this (from @gamediscoverco.bsky.social) newsletter.gamediscover.co/p/what-happe...
