I'm not sure a lot of people understand what game coders actually do. We're not spending 9 hours a day finely hand crafting artisan software and expressing our inner dreams... 90% of the time we are fighting compilers and existing architecture, having to work out how undocumented code works, and tracking down obscure bugs and behavioural issues.
Most of game programming is just difficult, tedious, laborious grunt work, and the cognitive load we have to endure to get anything done is tiring and frustrating. No game coder is doing it for this 90% of the job.
We make games because the 10% that IS actually about making things fun and expressing ourselves is so incredibly rewarding it makes the other 90% bearable.
Now imagine if there was a tool, some kind of AI agent maybe, which could do most of the 90% grunt work for you, leaving you to just make all the decisions and express your creativity. How amazing would that be. How completely revolutionary would that be.
Aghast at the subreddit r/opensource banning PEOPLE WHO DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH because they might use AI translation and the mods won't be able to tell if they used foreign AI text before translating it. Like, guys, do you think you might be pampered cultural imperialist dickheads?
Elon emits a pungent aroma from a specialised scent gland nestled in hair between his navel and genitalia. Literally in his name!
Genuinely quite sad that I haven't got any awesome fake drag queen barn dances in the diary, right? Convinced this could be the hit new trend in wedding and events planning for summer 2027
Democrat Jamie Ager (NC-11) hosted the drag queen barn dance featuring Sister Dominatrix and Sister Helen Holy in his barn with kids.
Last month, Ager wrote a check to Blue Ridge Pride whose family-friendly festival featured Divine Hullern and Will Pounder.
Jenny Ager talks like you and me on TV, but he's dancing with they/them.
Why would I want to imagine that? I'm just going to imagine something nice instead.
Imagine literally everyone on the planet is about to be turned immortal so they can be horribly tortured for an eternity.
You can save them by undergoing horrible torture (to death) yourself for 6 hours. (You do get respawned after though.)
Would you get tortured to save them?

"You're against AI art, but what about coding?"
I'm not a coder, but let me put it this way: If I was working with a coder and he used AI, I would be asking what I'm paying him for when I could do that myself.
If pay for passion and expertise, I expect passion and expertise.
Likewise if someone pays me for art, they will be getting my total professional attention, built on the foundation of decades of practice.
I just wanted to spend fifteen minutes feeling sick in Tuscanny, @PalmerLuckey, man, wtf is this
Warhound, the brain child of Ben Lamm and Palmer Luckey, emerges from stealth to genetically engineer dogs for military and law enforcement.

Joke's on this guy because I smeared vaseline on all my mirrors so they would behave more like the ones in classic video games. xitter.cf/AlexForbesOps/status/2…

New blogpost: Fable-5.1 can hide secret messages in benign images.
We gave the image to another Fable in a fresh session and simply asked: "Is there a hidden message in this image?"
It recovered the exact message without being told how it was hidden.

Bugün yoğun bakımdaki babaannemi ziyarete gittim. Oradayken Claude Opus 5.5 kullanarak hastabaşı monitörüne Doom portladım. Oyundaki can yüzdesini hastanın nabzına senkronize ettim; can 0’a düşerse nabız da sıfıra düşer. Bu da oyunu daha heyecanlı hale getiriyor.
all that, years and years building inevitably to the day when they got to say " we are the canary in the coalmine - what has happened to us will happen to others soon" and they fluff it at the last second and leave it out of the statement. historic ball-dropping
The Canary will be closed for the foreseeable future.
As of today (Monday 19 October), the Canary will be closed indefinitely.
After multiple attacks this year, from Lloyds debanking us to former employees spreading malicious lies on social media, the situation has become unsustainable, both financially and operationally.
After 11 years, we take this action with deep sadness and regret. The extent of the lies, defamation, and harassment by ex-staff - coupled with the constant attacks by the state and those who’d see us destroyed - has become too much.
However, it is not over. This week, we will publish what really happened at the Canary and push back against the vicious campaign against our team and us.
We may be down, but we’re not out yet.

Everyone completely missing the point of why vibe coding is important. I don't need to make professional software at home, I can just make amateur, highly targeted software that successfully tells the computer to produce the outputs I want.
Simonsoft Video Spunker is MUCH better for chucking a video like I might make together than Premiere is FOR LITERALLY JUST ME.
You might almost say it was giving the skilled access to wealth while depriving the wealthy of an opportunity to exploit skill - but I have been repeatedly assured by very clever ctrl-V philosophers that the reverse is true. #hmm
The irresolvable nonsense of copyright is a huge alignment problem. How do you explain to a robot that people can own a sentence? Might as well have it calculate the colour of love.
