Please. This game is about vampires. There's no such thing as werewolves.

I mean, I'd do it.

Both Strangeland and Hob's Barrow are in the Humble Bundle "Cosmic Mysteries and Noir Realties!"

Nab 'em along with a bunch of other cool games (like Disco Elysium, Norco, and Chicken Police) over here:

Been playing a build of the game @threeohfour.bsky.social is putting together.

He's only been in production for about 3 months and I'm already blown away.

This is shaping up to be one of the most delightfully weird games Wadjet Eye has ever made.

Unfortunately not. Time zones make that difficult if not impossible.

I can probably fit this one inside. Maybe on a shelf.

I have about four of these plants outside. Tried taking cuttings but none of them survived! I may have to follow your advice and pot the thing.

Planted this coleus plant six months ago and now as winter approaches it’s sprouted some small flowers on top. Wasn’t expecting that. Well done, nature.

I never knew this was a trope. Dang it.

Sturg48 @dirigojoe.bsky.social · 2d

I’m replaying Old Skies and I’m reminded that they did one of my favorite Sci Fi tropes. “Two real things and one fake thing.”

“Like killing Hitler, saving JFK or stopping the Mars colony disaster?”

I love it. Star Trek did that all the time “Like Descartes, Plato or the Vulcan philosopher Farek”

Hah. I didn’t realize that was a trope!

I think we are misunderstanding each other. I hate this stuff as much if not more than you. That GDC has summits on this stuff does not surprise me. It’s the sheer celebration of it (literally having a robot stomp on a symbol of the industry) that adds a huge extra scoop of gross.

Love seeing Old Skies getting love. What a great goddamned game that was.

This feels very different. Gaming has always had trends, and I don’t blame GDC for focusing on what’s popular. I wouldn’t even blame them for having a summit on AI games (as much as I would hate it) but this promo *celebrates* in a way that I find deeply troubling.

It's called Old Skies. It's a point and click sci fi adventure and I think it's the best game I've played all year.

Usually a tech innovation like this is scares the folks in power and is eagerly used by the masses. It says everything that this tech is being fully embraced by the people in power and the masses (overall) despise it.

I haven't gone since 2019. The extortionate cost of the event - not to mention the cost of just existing in the area! - have made it harder for me to justify. I do miss seeing all my friends there. I will go if Old Skies gets into the IGF, but otherwise... probably not.

And also that the datacenters are using more electricity than some major US cities.

Anyway, this Oatmeal comic did a much better job of putting my thoughts about AI into words than I ever could:

What makes it worse is that someone *chose* to create a AI-generated robot crushing a symbolic representation of the game industry and thought it was a good idea.
