Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

my shittiest take i've held for a while is that the game awards encapsulate everything holding back games from being respected as an art form
it's massively over-commercialized and prioritizes trailers far too much over the actual awards. products are emphasized over the actual people who make them

A.I. music, at best, is the song of the sirens. What a way to destroy one of the most significant forms of human expression.

A Blue, White and Golden imperial Knight Preceptor Canis Rex Miniature

At this years SPIEL I was able to pick up a Canis Rex Model, and just this evening I did the last few touches on it.

And with this guy as a Free Blade, I have finally hit the standard 2k pts for my #40k Army

#Dispatch devs have no interest in using AI for game development ๐ŸŽฎ

"AI feels like a production solution, not a creative one. Maybe it's a creative one if you aren't creative"

"Whatever we're building, it has to connect. It's got to be made by people. It's got to connect to people"

(via GIBiz)

It really needs to be pointed out how every one of these embarrassing statements is made by a c-suite executive and not an artist or even art department lead

Unreal Engine, and the hidden pitfalls of Blueprints Hello! Blueprints are useful, quick, and easy to use once you get used to them. Event graphs are incredibly helpful to creating certain gameplay, cross-function references are particularly useful in certain scenarios. However useful and quick Blueprints are, there are quite a few hidden pitfalls that can unintentionally cause avoidable

A detailed example of how pure nodes in Blueprints can be executed multiple times. Definitely worth knowing for anyone that uses Blueprint.

Hello, not only do we not use AI we would rather cut off our own arms than do so. Demonschool is 100% human made.

AI is a plague on humanity. Countless lifetimes will be spent explaining that AI chatbots fundamentally do not tell true and accurate facts. Those who cite AI as a legitimate source of information forfeit the right to be taken seriously.

I'll helping out at Kaidan Con at the weekend. Really looking forward to see a con as "visitor" or even better having all the perks of being a exihibitor but having none of the responsibilities. Tehe. Come over and check our booth!

A.I. has ruined my favorite online pastime: baby and animal videos. Because now I doubt whether any I see are real.

Thanks, A.I.

Seeing game devs take a "the customer is always right" approach to feedback is so sad because like I get it from a PR perspective, but...

1) The customer is always wrong

2) Your customers are gamers, so they're twice as wrong

I canโ€™t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something thatโ€™s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour
