I can guarantee that the founders of D&D and the first commercial RPG, TSR, that we worked harder, longer and with more elan to establish, against strong headwinds then, a before unheard of industry, first on the block, than the idiot ideologues at WotC have done in destroying and purposefully mutilating all of what we accomplished. It's a joyous chore to create something born of vision and nurtured and sculpted by unselfishness and hard work, but it takes little energy to deface and suck the life out of same. Postmodern robber barons suck don't they? They have infiltrated the entertainment and arts industries right down to their various fandoms, the latter whom cheer on the takeover of once highly regarded franchises with the same hope of being something along side their new leaders that none from each group are: creators, nurturers and honorable custodians. The recent BioWare debacle is on-point comparable to what has happened with Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro regarding their custodianship of D&D. The timelines, trajectories, their separate rises, their mystifying and beleaguered course changes which defied their once successful and merged creative<>business models, and their ultimate falls. EA wasn't swallowing it for BioWare as Hasbro continues to do for the D&D brand, the latter company which has a 3.4-1 debt to equity ratio and should be in shareholder revolt mode. And this is but one such example, from beginning to end. There are myriad other examples out there; and they are not nonsense. Far from being that, they are the battle lines formed on one side by the uncreative, uncaring, and manipulative robber barons versus the creative, reasonable, vision-workers on the other.

turns out getting hit with propaganda can actually crit for massive damage

true, it's time to remove it valve it's just a vector for abuse and no reason to single out that one toolset

Tim is right. Steam's AI disclosure rule is abhorrent. I recently shipped an AI-assisted game, and that label doesn't help anyone pick a game. It's a target. It tells the angry mob exactly where to send the review bombs. Nobody discloses which engine, which brushes, or which plugins they used. AI gets singled out for one reason: so devs can be punished for using it.

day 43 solo building a classic-style mmo from scratch fiddling with lighting calcs today, everything felt kinda flat in shadow and night, so a bit of a fake directional type light in the shade and dark, and a simplified SSAO style effect more subtleties, but more control for per-zone environment feels too, this one is definitely needed to feel shape on the characters though play here any time: azemar.kalin.games/

Why I use AI in Gamedev, A thread 🧵 1/ It's fun

Steam AI disclosure is stupid and needs to go as soon as possible since the only thing it does is hurt precisely smaller studios and send them the anti AI mob, who are a bunch of losers like the anti woke mob.

a good thread of all the actual concrete reasons that the valve required AI disclosure is essentially useless the lines are all fuzzy and will only become moreso the case the only real function it serves is to give people something to harass devs for

wait openai can i get confirmation on this? i want to modify my TV firmware because it's riddled with garbage software and runs like shit will this get me banned? or not?

“While the act of creation is inherently satisfying, there’s a danger: one might find satisfaction in the labor itself and mistakenly believe that a high-quality piece of work has been created,” he said. very insightful comment from miyamoto

Countless examples of this, valve needs to remove it

true, every single time

Since I've seen it going around I'll share the actual source of this video. My take on it is we need to push Blizzard on fixing this "bug" very proactively. Either get it fixed or at least get them on the record acknowledging this was an intended change. We got the woman turned back from a bowl of fruit, so there is hope here. youtube.com/watch?v=rXTgH1Tr…
