I have a couple songs included in my VS I don't own the rights to.
It's a great sounding VS though!

Why No AI Games? I have a theory.

So let’s stay weird. Let’s stay anxious. And above all, let’s stay playful.

This thread was directly inspired by the latest issue of @flantz.bsky.social's excellent newsletter.

But AI alone will never truly know how to playfully tease us. Playfulness emerges from the margins. It grows in countercultures. It develops in strange intimacies, and is passed on through the generous impulses of tamed existential anxiety.
It moves us precisely because of its singularity.

Will generative AI allow more creators to tease better, to tease on a larger scale, to tease more widely? I hope so — and at the same time, I fear it, as long as the issues inherent to the creation and operation of these agents persist.

And I believe that’s precisely why we play: for the pleasure of feeling, through the game, another human being playfully teasing us.

From the Bard community on Reddit: Two years of AI progress. Will Smith eating spaghetti became a meme in early 2023 Explore this post and more from the Bard community

But I feel this trend has a limit, because generative AI lacks an essential quality: it doesn’t know how to be playful. At best, it’s playful by chance, by accident. 2023 Will Smith eating spaghetti was playful at his own expense. The 2025 version isn’t playful at all.

The environmental, ethical, and human costs of using these tools everywhere will be swept under the rug for long enough for ultra-liberals to try to “extract maximum value” from them — as they do with everything they touch. Until it all collapses.

We’re deeply rooted in a society of appearances. We’re easily impressed by things that are beautiful, “efficient,” and above all standardized.

We talk a lot about AI in video games, and how it’s going to replace us all, the creators. To some extent, that’s true. There will always be decision-makers who think they can make money by delegating to generative AIs tasks usually given to juniors — or even seniors. 🧵⏬

i updated to unity 6 and it uh, broke the game in a very surprising way

All Will Rise: a narrative courtroom deck-builder A game about taking a billionaire to court for the murder of a river.

If you're looking for a cool project to back, @allwillrise.bsky.social is now live on Kickstarter. And frankly, who doesn't want to play a deckbuilder... about BRINGING POLLUTING BILLIONAIRES TO COURT???

Say what you want, Carcassonne 's level design is unparalleled.

Also those people are so nice.

Wednesdays is nominated at IGF, San Francisco, and I've been hesitating since then to go for the ceremony in march. It's like an incredible opportunity but i'm scared something will happen at the airport customs, me being a trans non-US woman (coming from europe).
ANY information/advice would help!

Played @wednesdays-game.bsky.social, cried!
Mind the content warning (and I have rarely seen a better job at handling content warning in a game too), but it was definitively worth the tears. Subtle and honest and nuanced all at once, which is far from easy to achieve given the subject matter.

Thanks a lot for such kind words!

4. Wednesdays.

A día de hoy es difícil que un juego me golpee de una manera tan visceral como lo ha hecho Wednesdays, pero cuando se trata un tema tan delicado de una manera tan honesta y bonita, es inevitable. Historia durísima pero a la vez preciosa. Literalmente inolvidable.

100% recomendado.

J'avoue, je l'ai pas eu tout de suite, mais quand ça a percuté ça a tapé fort.

Pégases 2026 Les Pégases sont attribués à des jeux vidéo par les membres de l'Académie des Arts et Techniques du Jeu Vidéo.
