- Discovered Chalk through KEXP last year and loved their set, now they're back and honestly I think these kids are gonna be big www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip5J...
- Damn, that sounds very serious. Maybe if we keep building data centers AI can help us figure out the problem!
- The world has entered “an era of global water bankruptcy” with irreversible consequences, according to a new United Nations report. cnn.it/4qxGTNX
- The first monitor company that figures out you can name monitors in a more standardized and easily parsed way is gonna revolutionize the market. What the fuck is a Q27G41ZDF? How does it differ from the Q27G4ZDR? How do you live like this

- NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
- Decided I should probably get a proper soldering pen for my electronics work instead of this ancient functional but clunky soldering iron I have. Yeah this definitely has sent me down a rabbit hole...

- Reposted by LambEpic 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.
- Warframe continues being an absolute gem of an experience. Huge props to DE for Old Peace. It feels like their resources are catching up to their ambitions and this felt like easily the most polished bit of story they've put out, can't wait for what's in store

- Reposted by LambI'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

- Reposted by Lamb"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights". Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?
- For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore. Our review: bit.ly/49bVn01
- Sometimes I hop on bsky and go "why is my feed so garbage all the sudden?" Before realising I accidentally switched to the discover tab
- ARC raiders are getting really far with this "its only for voice acting" excuse huh? I can almost assure you they didn't just use it for voice acting, read *any* interview with the devs from the past few years and you can quickly figure out they're not only interested in replacing VAs.
- Embark has done nothing but be intentionally coy around this stuff, trying to conflate machine learning with genAI and so forth. This is highly intentional. They sold their company to investors as "tech forward" but know how controversial genAI is so they try to muddy the waters
- You don't have to play the latest flavour of the month, free yourself
- Reposted by LambI think my disappointment with Arc Raiders and games in that vein is seeing people who otherwise would be staunchly anti-AI generative content looking the other way. We vote with our dollars about what kind of art and games we support, and so many are just paying lip service.

- That's a lot of words to say "yeah we definitely used genAI" I'm just saying that if you join the defense squad when this becomes the twitch flavor of the week, especially if you've made noise about being anti-AI, don't be surprised when you find out that I think you're a knob and hypocrite
- Reposted by LambThere's so much confusion and (intentional) obfuscation going on here. Using machine learning to animate procedural many-legged machines? That's not generative AI, that's just how you solve the problem of Many Legs vs Dynamic Map. This is part of the problem with the 'AI' push. Selling a buzzword.
- That's my GOAT

- Reposted by LambI wrote this post about the illusion that indie is a 'superior development style' about a week ago and waffled on whether or not it was still relevant enough to post.

- I have been complaining about US centrism in video game history and canonicity for ages, so I was stoked to read this
- Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.
- I grew up in the thick of the Euro PC scene. The first few Dreamhacks were hosted in my hometown. Sweden has a very unique history with Nintendo but I still knew very few people growing up who had consoles. Everyone had PCs though, my first was literally built out of junkyard parts

- Our collective 2024 *sucked*, but my personal 2024 was fantastic. A year where it felt I finally got the ball rolling on my ADHD diagnosis, got to do a lot of really cool and fulfilling work. And as an effect felt I finally broke the arrested development that was my 20s.
