- Opus 4.6 is out from @anthropic.com and I'm still getting over how good 4.5 is! Always love @emollick.bsky.social's academic memes! This one is bananas. 👏 #Claude #AI #Opus #Anthropic
- I asked Opus 4.6 in Claude Code to build me Borges's Library of Babel. An hour later it delivered this. The AI implemented a Feistel cipher so each possible book has a single real location, you can search for text across the Library & find the book. Enter it: library-of-babel-3d.netlify.app
- AI tools to help children (and adults) make games absolutely makes sense. AI-enabled Roblox is going to make it easier for millions of kids to realize their ideas. Fantastic! www.gamesindustry.biz/roblox-debut... #AI #gamedev #gamedesign
- Happy Groundhog Day! Again!
- I've rarely seen anything that illustrates how profoundly investors misunderstand AI and games. It's cool, but Google's Genie is as far away from creating video games as it is from writing and directing a blockbuster movie. www.theverge.com/games/871348... #genie #google #videogames #AI #gamedev
- A fantastic new publication "Game Poems Magazine" featuring artistic lightning fast playable mini-games. First issue is out! #art #games
- It’s inevitable that AI is going to be used in almost all game production pipelines. Also inevitable that the x100 boost is based in hype, not reality. But x2 or even x0.5 is probably a good enough reason to use it for most studios. #AI #gamedev
- Stellar Blade director goes all-in on AI as South Korea’s games industry looks to compete on the global stage www.eurogamer.net/stellar-blad...
- Reposted by Curiouser LLCI think about this picture I took of the Queen’s Gambit board game in 2022 a lot.

[Not loaded yet] - If I vibe-code a piece of software I learn a lot more about coding than someone who just installs and uses the code. Same with art, writing, music, or anything else. Creating is better than not creating IMHO. AI or not. 🤷♂️ #AI
- Just surfacing this reply that turned into a little thread on how to restructure AAA studios. Let me know what you think. Yeah, I just saved the gaming industry. You're so welcome everyone! 🦸♂️🏆🥇 #gamedev #gamedesign
- It’s clear that any mobile slop shop can pop out a f2p mobile game in a week or less. Because they do. If they had good game designers each game could be a lottery ticket. It’s not their technical ability that’s lacking; it’s their design ability. #gamedev #gamedesign
- If I ran a AAA studio I would already be restructuring to hire indie game designers and exploring how to make under $15 “indie games” #gamedev #gamedesign
- A new way to classify video games! Enter the Hushrasher system. #videogames
- Players hate tutorials. But they also hate playing like crap and not knowing what to do. Solution?
- Absolute garbage decision from @indiegameawards.gg. If this is the hill they want to die on, let 'em. Sandfall Interactive doesn't need an award when they have the love and gratitude of their players. This kind of histrionic gatekeeping is thankfully irrelevant. #AI #gamedev
- The IGAs Nomination Committee is officially retracting Debut Game and Game of the Year, awarding both categories to new recipients. Additionally, we are retracting one of the Indie Vanguard recipients. Full details can be found in our FAQ under Game Eligibility: www.indiegameawards.gg/faq
- Robotopia 🤖 is a video game with actual generative AI game play. Not just gen AI in the production but in the core game loop. I've been following this one for a while and I'm psyched! They have a new site so head on over and sign up for the Alpha 🤖 #videogame #genAI #gamedev
- Not sure it's the "first" but gen AI in game production is here to stay. It's not going away. #gamedev #AI
- All these apps are feeling the same. I can’t even tell which social media app I’m scrolling in half the time.
- This year, spending in the US had "the worst November in 30 years". Due to tariffs and other factors, the price of dedicated gaming devices probably will not be coming down. Bad news in this period of economic downturn. #videogames #xbox #playstation #hardware
- The Game Awards 2025 is over! How did your games do? Every time the candidates are announced you can hear by the applause which is the fan favorite! #videogames #gameawards2025
- Keeping up on what's happening with these media buyouts is like watching some kind of kaiju battle going on in a major city. "Ahhh... Ellison and Saudia Arabia just defeated Netflix and bought WB. Not much we can do about it. Hope they don't kill my favorite games. 🫣"
- Netflix isn't just securing IP in the new Warner Bros acquisition. There are the games. So many games. #games #videogames #Netflix #WB

- Great write up! Excited to see what Meaning Machine is cooking up! Wrote an article a couple years ago that describes a little about the process of cross examining an LLM witness with open source code. It's weirdly both easier and harder now. medium.com/curiouserins... #AI #gamedev
- Tl;dr it’s the NEX. And it plays by motion sensor. No controllers. Big licenses like NHL and Bluey. Let’s kids jump around and be active. Price point is half of the Switch. Nice. #videogames #nex #console
- I love a good irl ARG mystery! #ARG #gameawards
- OMFG NO! Not only are AIs poised to become powerful manipulation technologies in their own right, but peppering them with ads? Lord! #AI #advertising #OpenAI
