Please don't with the AI slop

Really need to just make a small game and release it. And also to stop talking about doing it, and just do it.

Techbros really do ruin everything. Smart glasses have so many genuinely useful uses, but you just can't trust tech companies to do good.

Sledding Game is my game of the year 2026 and it's not even out yet.

Yesterday I decided to pick up the Unity hobby project I last worked on two years ago and work on it again. Feeling a bit lost as to how to progress, but enjoying working on it again.

Hearts Standard is absolutely class reading. Incredible thing they've built up.

Yesterday I discovered the existence of this crab topper in Rocket League and now my only goal in life is to obtain it.

It's the same as how I chuckle when it lightly rains here in Spain and everyone runs for cover - of course I'm used to rain when I've grown up in country where it happens 200 days a year

Oh of course, I'm absolutely being unfair in the same way that it's unfair when people laugh at Brits for complaining that the heat in summer is unbearable. Houses and property aren't built for that extreme weather.

Red alert in the north east of Spain right now for 100km/h winds and I can't help but keep pointing out that this would just be a normal windy day in Scotland. Think my girlfriend might just beat up at some point if I don't stop talking.

Ya totally get that, and I don't really place the fault on the person reposting the stuff (it's more on Blue sky not having the mute functionality), it's just there's folk I follow that do interesting posts but also repost like 50 things a day that fills my feed.

I'm being a grumpy bastard is all πŸ˜‚

Like I get it, it's your account, post what you like. But also I like *YOUR* posts, and this garbage site doesn't have any form of muting reposts from accounts. (yes I know OnlyPosts exists, but it's also fairly garbage)

Some folk really do be reposting way too much on this site i stg

Well, good thing we didn’t silo off a bunch of important game knowledge in individual discords instead of forums or wikis or gamefaqs for some reason

Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft!

On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million β€œcost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press β€” as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters.

We are promised autonomy for Β« Creative Houses Β», but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot!

We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management.

We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous.

It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026.

NO
to their anti-remote-work obsession
to β€œcost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs
to top-down decisions
to coercive control on our working conditions

YES
to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities
to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings

It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people!

Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§βœŠπŸŒ€ Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.

Discord (the company) is cringe and I can't wait for it to be dethroned by a platform that isn't utterly shit.

Love that we're all once again posting AI slop selfies on instagram. Actually incredibly embarrassing.

What's even worse is the prompt is "create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me". If you can't see why that's concerning, I can't help you.

Spent some time yesterday learning the basics in Blender. It seems a lot more user-friendly now than the last time I used it (like a decade ago in uni tbf)
