But at the same it makes me sad that developer Crazybunch had to wind down ...

Our takes on Leisure Suit Larry are now 7 and 5 years old, and it still makes me happy that people are positively surprised by them. :)

From the moment of this post, Super Mario Bros. is now closer to World War II than it is to the present day.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

One issue generally overlooked in the whole screenwriter vs gamewriter, discussion is time.

Beyond anything to do with training, ability, style etc is the amount of time screenwriters get to invest in a script.

Whilst there are time pressures on any writer, the vast amounts of script that-

But Mark, you said we'd be living in the metaverse soon, so we get virtual smart glasses there, right? As NFTs, right???

Look, I'm over the moon for Team Cherry's success but "a few contractors" is a hell of a way to dismiss the 80+ artists, programmers, audio technicians, QA, and other developers who helped bring this project to life.

If you count VO and the orchestra, the credits are over 100 names.

Like... c'mon.

Timeline full of jokes about ... something ... then trying to reenigineer what it's about. A fun puzzle.

The Political Awakening of the Oyster Farmer Gunning for Susan Collins Graham Platner’s campaign launch has been a sudden sensation. But what he’s building now is rooted in the work of a lifetime.

This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process: - data centers pollute our environment - energy use drives up costs - content theft robs creators of income - the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages - using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence - the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Off to the Devcom speaker reception to meet old and new friends.

Dialogue challenges in 'Drova' Monday, August 18, 2025 12:15 PM to 1:15 PM · 1 hr. (Europe/Berlin) Stage 10 - Confex Level 2 Talk ~All~ Narrative Design

My talk is ready. Almost. It's too long. Let the shortening begin.

Looking forward to devcom as a whole. :)

this situation is making my heart heavy and my blood boil. i am tired of roving bands of bigoted, cruel fanatics throwing witch trial after witch trial and every pillar of our society yielding immediately.

if i ran itch, idk if i would be able to come up with any better plan of action than this

Laid off King staff set to be replaced by the AI tools they helped build, say sources Insiders paint a grim picture at King with half the Farm Heroes Saga team set to depart and morale “in the gutter”.

King replacing staff laid off with AI they built and trained is absolutely abhorrent and disgusting. Garbage behaviour from one of the biggest mobile developers in the world.

GF thinks l'm cheating bc of my ChatGPT history... Discussion So this is embarrassing and I'm sure...hard to believe, but I need some perspective here. My girlfriend found my ChatGPT conversations and now she's convinced I'm having an emotional affair with someone named "Emma." Here's what happened: I've been using ChatGPT for work stuff mostly, but lately l've been having these really deep conversations about life, relationships, career stuff, you know. And I read in another sub reddit that if you prompt engineer ChatGPT to think and act like a human, it gives better advice. I started asking it to roleplay as this person named Emma...not anything weird, just like having conversations as if it was a real person instead of an Al. It felt more natural somehow, like a therapist almost...? Hard to describe. Well my girlfriend was using my laptop yesterday and saw the chat history. All she saw were these conversations where I'm talking to "Emma" about my insecurities, asking for advice about our relationship, venting frustrations about work. She didn't scroll up far enough to see where I literally typed "pretend you're a person named Emma" at the beginning. Now she thinks l've been having intimate conversations with some other woman for weeks. She's absolutely devastated and won't listen when I try to explain it's ChatGPT. She keeps saying things like "who talks to an Al like that?" and "why would you give it a woman's name?" I showed her the ChatGPT website, tried to demonstrate how it works, but she thinks I'm just showing her a cover story or that I'm lying about what it is. She found it suspicious that "Emma's" responses were so thoughtful and personal. The worst part is some of the conversations were abou problems in our relationship, so she's reading all this stuff

The worst part is some of the conversations were about problems in our relationship, so she's reading all this stuff about how l've been feeling disconnected lately and discussing it with who she thinks is another woman. Has anyone else had to explain ChatGPT to someone who's not tech-savvy? How do I prove this isn't what she thinks it is? I feel like l'm in some weird Black Mirror episode.

Yeah man can't imagine why your girlfriend is mad that you made ChatGPT pretend to be a woman that you would use to talk to about your relationship problems

Dumbass

Orc city smoldered burned down in the wake of battle The ground soaked in a knuckles depth of blood and ash The savage cries of its defenders now silent and still as its ruin was overseen b the architect of its very destruction The orc wars were finally over There is noting more reviled than the orc said the elvish kk g

For the last 24 hours Twitter has been full of people mocking the everloving shit out of this “fantasy author” for trying to dunk on one of Hideo Kojima’s best creations: FAT MAN. If you’re wondering why everyone is making Orc City jokes, this is why:

My 3h podcast about Old Skies. It's in German, but it includes an interview in English with @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social - thanks!

And thus our nod to Spaceballs in our second Larry game from 2020 has become a hot and current pop culture reference.

Sierra made the games of my childhood. Are they still fun to play? Get ready for some nostalgia.

It's Schrödinger's fun. There and not there at the same time.

I remember the horse stage as almost impossible, because you had to jump before the obstacle was on screen. Or slow down and thus you couldn't make it. Still played it for hours, of course. :D

absolutely LOVED that game ... and not because it was so playable :D

Yeah, I like JRPGs.
