Basically every time a new Doom game has come out, we've had fresh new faces enter the modding scene and shake things up and it rocks! It's awesome watching our craft evolve.

Fair enough, although the majority of the article appears to be paywalled

It sounds... real fucking scary! And not out of the realm of possibility. But this is possibly the worst possible article to actually learn anything about what happened. There's basically only two sites that syndicated this as well so... idk

1. This reads as AI generated as hell
2. Not a single source
3. I tend to roll my eyes at anything like this because it tends to focus on satanic panic shit rather than any actual crime

total beginners and overconfident people with zero ability or understanding used to have proportionally smaller impact potential because it'd take them days to edit one function and still have it run, now AI empowers those people to ruin every file in a codebase simultaneously several times per hour

If anyone is willing the share the following, I would be so grateful!

We just launched Piece by Piece on Steam πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

It's a cozy repair shop sim, you play a woodland fox who inherits his grandfather's store. You fix up items with your hammer and paintbrush πŸ”¨πŸ–ŒοΈπŸ¦Š

If they wanted to crack down on gambling there's about a million bigger fishes to fry before you (rightfully) got to Valve

The demand for credentials mixed in with the videogame violence gives the game away, if you can't see it you're the definition of an useless idiot and should be branded as such

Not a single day goes by that I'm not driven to the brink of howling madness by:

A: Videogames being at their most diverse, creative and overwhelmingly numerous as ever.

B: The gaming press being utterly gutted by vulture capitalists, leaving fewer people than ever to try and understand it all.

Ahoj #WhatAGameDevLooksLike , I'm Samara-Jade, and also not at GDC.

I am, however, in my 8th year of writing and narrative design. You may have seen my work in Victoria 3, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad and Hardwired Island.

getting valve to stop giving people ways to gamble would have been amazing but the NY AG office just couldn't fucking help themselves. AUGH

yeah, just from experience with ARPGs you can just make arrays where it will picks random words as the rare monster names. Diablo was doing this like 20 years ago lol

shit, that botched-ass lunch program should have been the first clue that these morons couldn't manage their way out of a paper bag. how they've lasted this long is beyond me

this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone"

they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.

β€œDo not work” notices were sent out for Mega Man: Dual Override by SAG earlier today.

grocery duopoly? the city rail link? lack of jobs? idk guys, seems like there's a lot more important shit to focus on at the moment? literally any one of these things would be great thanks!

can't wait for another $15 million to get dropped on another fucking covid query that goes nowhere and for NZ First to blame everything but the whacked-out spending they're doing to chase answers to their conspiracy theories for the economy being shit

holy shit. they literally cannot fucking let this shit go

I absolutely could understand there's things that could have been done better. But the more pragmatic thing you do is "great, our people were safe. what do we do to keep them thriving?" rather than play this insipid blame game that's kept the economy stagnant for years.

It's so important how this is reported, precisely because NZ WAS held as a shining beacon of hope and sanity in other countries in the time of COVID. It's something that was discussed heavily in my American job at that time.

The real lesson of the second Covid-19 inquiry? We live in a post-truth world Government ministers’ creative interpretations of the royal commission’s report took spin to scary new levels.

Essential read on this govt’s reckless gaslighting:

β€œIt’s election year, I get it. But implying science & health advice was routinely being ignored fuels the distrust that erodes social cohesionβ€”something the report is at pains to emphasise must be restored.” #nzpol

Not a single right-wing NZ politician has said that the Covid Inquiries will provide useful research for dealing with future pandemics, making their criticisms transparently and exclusively about discrediting the previous government and not about concern for the population. #nzpol

Brown complaining about overspending and the economy during COVID and dropping $14m to be mad at Ardern is a special sort of stupid, gotta say!

i think one of the funniest things you hear about nowadays is how AI stuff is compared to the dot-com bubble, but the thing about dot-com is that people were actually excited about the internet and cool new website stuff whereas ai has consistently polled like actual dogshit among general population

Joe Rogan gets paid to be a fucking moron. has been for as long as Alex Jones has been around. his job is to be a rube. it's not an accident.
