If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

The Holes movie is still my fave book to movie adaptation

I remember reading the book non stop in highschool and the movie is still so fun

this is extremely fucking funny but also i cannot stress enough that LLMs are just outputting stuff that looks kinda like the stuff they've been trained on and when you ask them why they did something, they're just outputting even more stuff that looks kinda like the stuff they've been trained on

Two years after the Unity controversy, how are things going with Godot? Two years ago, Unity's missteps prompted a wave of interest in the open-source Godot engine. Here's what happened next.

How are things going with Godot?

Indie developers flocked to the open-source engine after the Unity runtime fee saga of 2023. Now, the Godot Foundation, Pistol Shrimp, Bytten Studio and Walaber Entertainment explain what has happened since.

BY THE WAY I've heard some exceptionally good things about Mythmatch. Like, 'it's a game you pick up for 20 mins and accidentally play for 10 hours straight' sort of good. I don't think it looks like that sort of thing, but it is.

Also Moo is one of the best people on the planet, so go wishlist it.

I’m Starting To Worry This Industry Has No Respect For The People Who Work In It Once your stock options were fully vested, did you sell off all the shares in your humanity?

I wrote this column and I'll just say that the original headline was much meaner. The piece itself, though, is still very angry and very mean, I assure you.

James Gunn hails β€˜PADDINGTON 2’ as β€œone of the greatest movies ever made.”

β€œIt’s a classic - people think I’m being ironic, but I’m telling the truth.”

the thing i most resent AI for is ruining stupid [complimentary] brain-empty no-thoughts shit like this for the rest of us. code on the back of the monitor could be very funny if anything other than the tree burning copyright infringement machine made it

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Yesterday our Lead Programmer Steph gave a talk on our experience moving from Unity to Unreal as an Indie Game studio at @developconference.com πŸ’š

Some of Team Junkfish were there to support and cheer Steph on, and it's safe to say, she smashed it! What an end to a great few days πŸ’ͺ
