Goemar floated this idea, and since I already had everyone's handles organized in a spreadsheet from the last migration it made this (relatively) easy to make #blutoid go.bsky.app/K6xaMDZ

When I try to explain to people that investors are generally very, very stupid people this is what I mean.
Video game stocks are suddenly crashing today with the launch of Google's Project Genie as investors think games will start magically getting made with AI

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

#blutoid yea so i just can't beat any of these "crystal" bosses w/o putting on literal invulnerability lol. Nothing short of that will do it. I am physically incapable of predicting what movements i need to make with my hands and them executing them.
That kinda sucks IMO!

#blutoid i normally avoid "git gud" games but tried ninja gaiden ragebound before my XGP ran out. This was the part that finally broke me and made me turn on the accessibility assits. I just don't have the dexterity for this anymore, sadly

"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.
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.

#blutoid i should be more cynical about nintendo finally acknowledging the existence of LGBT people in their games, but seeing all the LGBT players and creators who are over the moon about the new tomodachi life i feel like that's real takeaway here. 1/

#blutoid great encapsulation of how fucked SSD pricing is right now. 316% increase on this 1TB SATA drive and +97% for the cheapest 2TB FireCuda on Newegg (the latter ships from Hong Kong, so good luck getting that w/o paying the tariff or having the delivery cancelled as has happened to me!)

#blutoid so star wars outlaws is a stealth game but you can't save anywhere (deus ex), there aren't linearly segmented levels (tlou), and you can't fight out of any encounter w/o consequence when discovered (ghost of tsushima).
This doesn't seem particularly fun!
