Chris Totten - Little Nemo and the Nightmare Fiends

No it’s about the load bug. I had a good idea for the shed while I was at the grocery store, so I’m excited about it now

I am an expert in games as art, and even won an award for my work aligning games and the arts. All of which is to say, this is exactly right and cracks the whole thing delightfully succinctly

We’re trying to get a new build out to our backers to prep for Steam Early Access, so yeah…

Jesus Christ.

I am always saying this! The tool as designed encourages cheating and discourages honesty, by making cheating extremely easy and doing real research no less tedious than the old, AI-free way.

As soon as you let it into your process, the path of least resistance is to let it take over completely.

The other thing about it is IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE BEST USE CASE SCENARIOS ARE. STUDENTS ARE USING IT TO CHEAT AND NOT LEARN ANYTHING. HOW YOU INTEND FOR A PRODUCT TO BE USE DOESN'T ALWAYS MATTER

Rewatching The Golden Girls from the start.

Pilot:
One of the greatest pilots of all time. Blanche is possibly engaged and the equilibrium faces disruption, and Sophia is arriving. Talk about hitting the ground running, they just go straight to jokes instead of laying pipe for half an hour.

The American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. Just amazing, weird, surreal, eclectic artwork

I like the phrase 'i'm a sucker for...' because it removes any pretentiousness from the equation. High art, low brow, it doesn't matter- you open the possibility that you like something just because it rubs you the right way, no value judgement included

"I can't brainstorm without ai" "I can't draw without ai" "I can't write without ai" "Ai summarized it for me cause it's too hard of a read"
So what exactly /can/ you do? Because you sound fucking useless to me

“Your AI-generated ideas are literally mid, bro…”

Why burn up a whole lake coming up with an idea when post it notes and sharpie markers exist?

Nintendo Switch Announcer (gravely): What is the true origin of man's inhumanity to man? What fate awaits our souls in the next life? Death and oblivion await all of us, this September.

I want to frame this post

Programming skill is less important than game design skill.

A base level of programming skill is needed but in most cases beyond that is irrelevant. Good game design is harder, more nebulous and has far more impact. Assume better than avg/great art required either way. #gamedev

“Trevorism” - a game design paradigm where a mundane space requires unlocking arbitrary and convoluted puzzles and doorways. Named for George Trevor, a fictional architect that designed several settings from the Resident Evil game series within its fictional reality

Game studies out there like “here’s 7 unbroken hours about French Theory…anyway, you kids like Super Mario 3, the game where the blue guy rides a dinosaur and runs real fast?”

Since writing that book on 2D action-adventure level design, I’ve been upping my collection of favorites in the genre. The Japan trip helped me get the better box art versions of these

The Silksong release date will never actually be announced. One day we'll all just log in and realize it's been out for weeks

Motherfucking wind farms…

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"
