I just took a snip of the same thing!

10/10 No notes.

An edit of the "Cast it into the Fire" meme. Panel 1: (The One Ring) - "Camera Zoom in a Pixel Art Game" Panel 2: (Elrond) - "All Conventional Wisdom": "Cast it into the first! Destroy It!" Panel 3: (Isildur) - "Me" "No"

What are subpixels anyway?

*In Japan.
**This was not a sex thing.

A person once pulled me into a bathroom stall in a Japanese restaurant and asked me to perform a literal Christian exorcism to remove Satan from them.

The Sega logo, staged in front of a moon, hovering over a neon purple digital grid.

If the major publishers all bottom out and Nintendo emerges from another industry collapse unscathed, I think that can only mean one thing.

Time for the dramatic return of their one true rival:

A screen shot of a reddit post from r/SteamDeck linking to a Bloomberg article. Headline: "Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC - Bloomberg" OP post body: "This sucks, really enjoyed playing Ghosts of Tsushima" Top comment: "Not that surprising given they've also pulled back from PlayStation games on PlayStation"

Me: "Please don't add someone to the team mid-feature. It will not speed me up."

Product Manager (cis-man): "No I won't do that. I'll do {exactly that, but in different words}."

This is the stuff that stresses me out most as a solo dev. I can do visuals, narrative, UX, programming, no problem.

I can't do music, but sourcing it is pretty straightforward.

SFX & audio design, though? That's some arcane mysticism beyond my ken.

Games need such a diverse range of people.

A screenshot of an Aftermath.site front page headline. The hero image is a picture of Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 9. The headline reads: "Resident Evil Requiem Actor's Social Media Is Also Filled With Hot Leon Kennedy Memes" The sub-header reads: "'Things could be worse,' Nick Apostolides says"

"'Things could be worse,' Nick Apostolides says."

@aftermath.site always delivering on the sub-headers.

Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large Language Models We present evidence that adversarial poetry functions as a universal single-turn jailbreak technique for Large Language Models (LLMs). Across 25 frontier proprietary and open-weight models, curated po...

Their claim: "Models these days are resistant to prompt injection."

Adversarial poetry exploits creative inference vulnerabilities.

Basically, LLMs have to switch to "creative mode" to infer the meaning of poetry, and creative mode relaxes its guardrails.

Reddit stats for a comment I made on reddit. It had 14 upvotes and a 100% upvote ratio.

I'm so bad at making hot takes.

I corrected someone on reddit who claimed that AI is advancing rapidly, certain it'd be contentious.

Nope. 100% upvote ratio.

I'll never get the hang of engagement-farming. Carefully presenting well-researched information 3-layers deep in comments doesn't do it.

I feel like it's giving "We have rabbids at home."

Sorry for coming off standoffish. I can see the confusion: it can be unclear if the quoted Bloomberg text is also, itself, a quote.

I'd assume the words attribute to Bloomberg as a publication. They may be a paraphrased summary of Bloomberg's sources, not representing Schreier's personal voice.

Once an article is cited and brought into context, it's expected that additional detail from the cited source will continue to be introduced.

The byline for the cited source is Jason Schreier, a friend to Aftermath who would like not consider any of this a snub in the slightest.

"According to Bloomberg:" is right there in front of it, even in your screenshot. It is normal to cite the outlet, and not directly attribute an author's byline.

The article they're citing is linked in the previous paragraph, and no other source has been incorporated to the article since.

Oh to be a woman with no integrity.

I could platform myself with low effort volume posts that hack SEO metrics.

Funnel that traffic toward gambling sites and prediction markets.

Gamble my reputation on this dumbass grift and dig my own grave.

Scrolling through my feed and bsky shows me a video of some dude wanking it what the fuck?

Nobody wants unsolicited dick pics you miserable fucks.

A pixel art screenshot of a work-in-progress battle scene. The top of the image has an FFX-style "turn order" indicator that includes a screenshot of each unit's face.

Oh hell yeah.

I got scalable headshots working for turn forecast.

Because character unit appearance is composed at runtime, this one took a bit of work:

- Render the unit to a headless canvas
- Position headless camera
- In-memory screenshot
- Bind screenshot copies to UI

Thank you!

I've been working on so much the past several weeks without posting any screenshots.

Here's a new wingaling for a late #ScreenshotSaturday

My sprite fade out method wasn't removing drop-shadow shaders, which pins the mannequin (bottom) layer's alpha channel to 1.

So every time I tried to do a fade out, my sprites stripped naked before disappearing.

Hiiiiiiiiiii screenshot saturday! iv been solo developing my funny puzzle game Rhell for almost three years

Its a game where you combine key words to create 100,000,000 unique spell effects in order to solve puzzles

An official front-profile character sketch of John Hardin, a supporting character in Squaresoft's "Vagrant Story."

This guy's name is John Hardin.

Queer-ass game.

An official front-profile character sketch of Sydney Losstarot, primary antagonist of Squaresoft's "Vagrant Story." He is shirtless, his pants have a plunging waistline, and his shoulder armor ties around his neck with straps.

The primary antagonist Sydney Losstarot.

Queer-ass game.

Ashley's official figure includes a pound of cake visible through assless leather shorts.

A behind-side profile character art of Ashley Riot, the protagonist of Vagrant Story.

Name a Squaresoft game that's more queer-coded than Vagrant Story. I'll wait.

Elementallis key art!
The Steam page is here, take a look! store.steampowered.com/app/1304280/...

I wrote a custom input registry stack for a previous version of this game and it is still serving me well a year later.

Go me. I rock.

This movie released on my birthday, which was just way too cool.

Amazing movie.
