"Oh! That's interesting! I hate video games"

Happened 10 years ago (regarding game design study) and I still think about it

"I hate the things you like" cool man, thanks for that

“Oh, cool, so you just play video games all day, huh? Sounds real cushy.”

Oh you sweet blissful moron. You foolish piece of shit. You ape wearing a game show host suit. You overfilled garbage bag. You backless picture frame. You Medieval Times bench-table of a person.

Gryffin (my ginger cat) is asleep flat on her face on the blanket in front of me, while my PS5 controller sits in my lap instead of her

Goodnight

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I really enjoy Pokémon Z-A but on the point of voice acting, this main story and string of main missions really needs help

It's consistently putting me to sleep whenever I play at night. It's slow, drawn out, and silent! Nothing really of any substance to keep me awake

Using a DK Bananza thumbnail for this article and then including this block of text within is diabolical - literal click bait

I'm furious

I've been had

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

And folks this is why even if you choose not to be in a union--for whatever reason--you still owe your co-workers solidarity. The discussions were, seemingly,bcomparing salaries and talking about a company policy change to their slack server. Someone went to management and got 34 people fired.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

While doing research for our Analogue 3D review? The AI filtered answers at the top of our Google searches were consistently incorrect.

It’s like having the worst friend imaginable who claims to know everything and vomits out wrong answers to sound smart. You’ll get dumber by listening.

A Disabled Child’s Mom Reported Him Missing. He Was Locked Away by Federal Immigration Authorities for 48 Days. Emmanuel, a 15-year-old who has an intellectual disability, walked away from his mom’s fruit stand in October. Houston Police called ICE.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

In case you’ve seen me get heated about Roblox on @giantbomb.bsky.social before, this thread summarizes the issues nicely.

Don’t let your kids play Roblox.

Wicked 2 was a real Resident Evil 0 to the original’s Resident Evil Remake

freelancing in 2025 feels so different than even a few years ago. healthcare premiums are so expensive, being disabled is so expensive. money worries grind down the ability to think creatively or engage deeply with the world outside day to day survival

Manufacture and shipping of physical games is "100 times more carbon-intensive" than digital, new study finds Data from French carbon accounting firm Greenly also finds handheld gaming may be the greenest option for players

Very confused about a recent study ("study"?) regarding the environmental impact of video games, as on Gamesindustry dot biz. For one - the article interviews the author of the study but does not link to the study. I cannot find the published study anywhere.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Left image shows clearly AI generated texture of a poster in game. Right shows non-AI replacement texture. Text below explains it was patched out after Reddit noticed.

You know how to avoid leaving "placeholder" assets in the final game?

Don't use AI to generate placeholders: use clearly coloured and labelled mockup textures. Y'know, actual placeholders.

Just don't use AI! It isn't hard!

Why are they seemingly only able to communicate through shouting?!

Got any construction happening nearby? We've been treated to similar cos they're building next door 😕 never understood why trades start so early

This sucks so much! I'm sorry David, it's been a pleasure to see you thrive in this role and now to see it ripped away is gutting :(

In an Australia first, I used FOI to get the AI chat logs of Australia's top national security bureaucrat.

They show how he used Microsoft Copilot to ghostwrite speeches and messages to colleagues.

This comes as the government looks to push AI use in the public service.

+ there's very few who covered video games ethically left to teach the next generation of journalists how to work. Those that scraped through, they're still scraping by... to pay the rent. The ABC cutting jobs creates a generational black hole. Knowledge goes in, gets eaten up, never comes out.

Seeing how much effort you've consistently put into NextPlay has been inspirational, but I'm so glad you're taking the time as you need to and looking after yourself ❤️ hope it's a restful and recuperating time

This happened in southern Australia this winter (for Australis) and there were so many amazing photos, didn't manage to see it myself though, despite an evening camped out in the middle of nowhere, so seeing an aurora is still on the bucket list for me
