srsly the only thing that the current moment has to offer is this: artists are still making their art. finally going to watch sinners tonight. a video game called esoteric ebb is being released in one week, and i'm pumped for it. the new show strip law is hilarious. stuff like that.

I saw Forbidden Solitaire last year before the demo was even out and it was an instant wishlist for me. When I played the demo, I was even more delighted. So excited for the full release!

if steam is asking developers to put in an AI-generated content disclosure, i should be able to filter those "games" out of searches because trudging through next fest demos is miserable now

I know it's meant in good faith but "if we just made smaller scope games and charged 20-40 dollars for them it would fix the industry" is very funny to me. indies release like 20 of those a week on steam. are you buying them? is the industry fixed? no? hm. sounds like you need a different solution

From a game I found on Steam:
Being a "SMALL INDEPENDENT TEAM" should not be an excuse we accept when it comes to using AI in game development. I would much rather see people open MS Paint and draw doodles there than see awful AI generated mascots shoved down my throat.

A GDC poll has found that 31% of responding international developers have cancelled plans to attend the event this year, with a further 33% considering it, because people just don't feel safe travelling to the United States right now:

Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.
"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

@gog.com - do you even understand who your customers are? We buy DRM-free games because we want to support artists, not to see their jobs taken away by companies using stolen asset slop.

Hell yeah 30% is too high. Maybe it's not too high for a giant AAA game who actually has their game get shown to players.
But to us indie game devs, you put your game on Steam, have to direct all the traffic there yourself, and then Steam says you're welcome and takes 30% of your money.

The Origins of the Word "Moron" Are Actually REALLY Sinister
It's much more than just a casual insult.
Iβm seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if thereβs one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one.
It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.
