Or maybe doggy paddle.

Dear "game devs,"

This is STILL a deal breaker.

Eeyup! And a human-made version of an AI voice is always going to be more satisfying to hear than the "real" thing, simply because we have specific expectations of what such a voice should be. Decades of media shaping our internal concepts of AI is just not something that actual AI can contend with.

I think we can all agree that SHODAN would be a much less iconic villain if she was voiced with AI.

"The gate was never being kept, you just needed to be strong enough to open it."

Or to put it in a less pithy way, you gotta invest your time and passion into developing your artistic skills if you wanna be considered an artist. And that is a journey that anyone is free to embark on.

MAYhem 2025: THE TOMB OF DOTRIACONTAGON (RC1 has been released!) Glad you liked my map! The outdoor area had more to go look around in and stuff to collect and its mainly there just as a break.

First public beta of MAYhem has been released! Put some hard work into this one, very proud of how it's turned out.

That's a very Dracula collar for someone who is evidently not a Dracula.

CLARIFICATION :

The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.

They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY

So spread this around

They can be texted. They can be called.

Text saying "PRIDEMONTH" but the "DEMON" part is highlighted in rainbow. Under the text is a sprite of the Pinky Demon (also known as just Demon) from Doom holding an LGBT pride flag.

Yea, this is the thing I remembered to do.

Pinky is so real for that tho.

Good shit. ✊ And yeah, ads were too much for me way back in 2015: if I had to face YouTube without an adblocker today, it'd probably reformat my prefrontal cortex.

In 2022, when the genAI hype was at its peak, I used Midjourney, et al. to assist in the creation of cover artwork for two of my singles.

I'm pleased to reveal those genAI works have now been replaced by REAL art by @dashiefrickintyan.bsky.social who absolutely killed it. Epic stuff!

RAMP 2025 - Make a Doom level!
YouTube video by DavidXNewton RAMP 2025 - Make a Doom level!

youtu.be/c_McNwAoC5w It's June and I'm holding the fifth annual RAMP! This is a project that encourages people to have a try at making maps or games for the 1993 Doom games and their enhanced descendants. If you've ever been interested in it, please take a look and try picking up a Doom editor :)

It's a project run by a friend of mine: I contributed a couple of maps, but they're the real star of the show. Give it a look-see, it came out really goddamn good.
