In today's episode of AI is ruining the thing you love; Godot could really use some extra funding just to judge if something is slop because they're getting overwhelmed

Props to the UI artist(s) on #Runescape: #Dragonwilds. It's so pleasing to watch and interact with! Rarely are menus so beautiful.
And the game's great too, ofc ๐ŸŽ‰The building UX is great, especially the idea of a building spell to get in flying camera mode :)

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
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 puppeteering 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.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I'll refer to this article a lot from now on, for folks who asks me "but how do you do it?". Feels natural to some of us, others need convincing...

Fae Farm Takes Wing Again With New Publishing Collective When Phoenix Labs announced they were slashing their development team, the future for Fae Farm looked bleak. However, the game has acquired a second chance,

If Fae Farm got saved by Gambit Digital... could this mean #ProjectDragon #Everhaven could be saved too? @everhavenworld.bsky.social

Yup, it's that simple. On any engine.
Btw, did you know there are ways to instrument Godot with Tracy? It's amazing!

Because you shouldn't have to think about "coin" or "Bernoulli gate" to find a metasound node that triggers with a chance...
Renamed the Trigger Filter node to be Trigger Chance and rephrased tooltips to make it clearer. Coming in UE5.7!
It's the little things... :)

#MusicBee makes it so simple to play "all my music library in shuffle, but without any OST music". This is peak UX - right click Music, expand Filters, Manage... create a "Non-OST" filter based on the Genre metadata, poof. All in under 3min, and no loading. Damn, it's so good when tech just works!!!

Une vie ร  t'aimer
YouTube video by Lorien Testard - Topic Une vie ร  t'aimer

My cat is meowing like crazy when I sing "Une vie ร  t'aimer" from Clair-Obscur while working. She even bites my face if I do as if she wasn't there.

Is my cat the only cat that does that? Or is it because I sing so bad? xD

A lot of people come into the games industry and pretty soon develop a cynical attitude that the industry is largely run by business guys who don't know a thing about video games. It's only after a few years and some seniority that you realize that those guys don't know shit about business either.
