Just idly thinking how cool it is that Kikiyama, developer of Yume Nikki just dropped one of the most influential free games anywhere and then disappeared.

All we really know is that the money from merch on Fangamer DOES reach them, and that Toby Fox interviewed them but they'd only answer Yes/No.

It's always nice to see game history that goes beyond the usual "core" world of AAAs & indie classics.

Neopets was one of the defining games of the 2000s, it's crazy that its inclusion in a museum even needs justification.

neopets might seem like a weird inclusion in ACMI's game worlds exhibit, but it absolutely deserves its spot

ACMI Game Worlds: Why Neopets deserves its place in a museum | ScreenHub: Film, TV, Streaming and Games

ACMI's brilliant Game Worlds exhibit spotlights Neopets as a key part of gaming history. While often overlooked, it's an essential part of this story.

Now's the time to call up Visa/MC to ask 'hey, how come you guys will pay for ChatGPT and Twitter subs but I can't buy certain games off of Steam?' Because I frankly would LOVE an answer to that...

Sam Altman suggests ChatGPT is cannibalizing your fanfic and erotica to make its own clanker porn, rolling out this December.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Those are, afaik, games removed for incest. Not "solely for being LGBT".

Working on a Knight Rider fan game for DOSember (yes, it does run in DOS!) but been getting sidetracked by having to build an engine first. Spent time doing EGA pixel art and OPL music instead, so all I got to show for thus far is a screensaver for DOS 😅

I keep meaning, and forgetting, to post this here. My witch done in a dapper suit by @yamino.bsky.social, who has an entire commission slot just for dapper suits for people to consider. Because what suits your character like a suit?

Tryse, a tall, thin witch in a dapper suit and her hair pulled back into a long braid. All green, with a purple tie. She's holding a hat and has on high heeled wingtips. Art by Yamino.

She looks kind of nervous, and that's probably because it's about to be her first date with the girl she's going to confess to. She's gonna recite Sappho at her. She's a sap. It'll work, though.

Amazing read, I'm so glad they spoke with Roger Dean AND got images from his book!

I wrote about this game on the CRPG Book, it's a legendary vaporware - a huge team of super stars, extremely ambitious scope (6 episodes with 24 CDs each lol), and rather conflicting reports on what it actually was.
