Somebody save me from animation fundamentals 😭

i think game companies that are using AI for voices because paying people for their work is "so hard" should take a note from '90s era Midway or Rareware

Pulling someone from the dev team and having them voice your blorbo is both cheaper AND infinitely more charming than some genAI slop voice

"Game that was secretly harvesting all your discord messages now looking for some good PR" is probably a better headline

I told you guys, the GDC of yore is effectively dead. Prohibitively expensive for Americans to go to unless they have a media or game dev job (two fields decimated by layoffs), meanwhile it is DANGEROUS for non-Americans to enter the US due to ICE

GDC 2026 is a microcosm for the US games industry

terfs look at 'trans mission' and are incapable of grasping that they've caused a situation where a tiny minority of ppl in the uk literally need a benefit concert

that's how disgusting they are

10 yrs ago there was a political consensus to improve healthcare access

now we need a benefit concert

sorry basically the problem of my life is that i internalized and believed a lot of stuff people said about valuing children and loving your neighbor and living in a society at the exact moment that everyone in power decided all of that shit was fake and gay and not a way to make a living

Curious to hear from the crowd that was insisting this wouldn’t be possible with humans

"I don't know how to make this" is an opportunity to fucking LEARN.

"i wouldnt have been able to make this without AI" then don't make it? i would love to do all kinds of things I can't do, those are the confines of the world in which we live, you dipshits

Rest Well Sroka

the original post, but highlighted "It's not designed for everyone but it's designed for me specifically"

lots of people have criticisms/feedback but counterpoint:

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

Art is a mirror, not a courtroom. If art makes you uncomfortable, it is not a moral failing of you or the creator, it is a challenging conversation to have with yourself.
People need to get used to having uncomfortable feelings instead of lashing out at others because of them.

I think about this a lot.

No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.

Do you know one thing that annoys me? Developers who'll use the AI generated content disclosure to plead why they're just a teeny tiny dev who's just gotta use AI, and you can't be upset because they're just a little guy who has to use it, they're just a little AI guy.

again if any rich entrepreneur or experienced engineer/business person wants to steal this and make it I don't even want any money I just want this phone

a sketch design for a smartphone Has: De-googled OS, 60hrzm 64gb storage, 5 inch display, 1080p, OLED screen, plastic body, bluetooth, widgets, rubber corners, two programmable buttons, single hinge camera that flips up for selfies, removable battery, headphone jack, USBC charging, loop in corner for charms, SD memory slot, and clear plastic back so you can put in your own design or something idk Does not have: AI, face recognition, turn-on on lift, mandatory updates

followup to dream phone design, took some ideas from people I liked. It's not designed for everyone but it's designed for me specifically and I'm mad it doesn't (and will likely never) exist

I hate this man so much, Just everything about him is such bumbling movie villain energy, but he's real and holds actual power. Fucking baffling the world is like this.

Spaces for kids have been destroyed or re-worked into stores, adult spaces aren't allowed to be actually "adult" lest we anger the CC companies, and supposedly neutral spaces are full of gambling/porn ads, disinformation, and right-wing pipelines. An internet that is increasingly not for anyone.

tbh SFW “wholesome” artists need to start sticking their necks out for their not so wholesome comrades instead of just clamming up out of fear. Thats how we got to where we are now too.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

apropos of nothing at all I think it bears mentioning how much this matters and how segregating and faking some kind of "non problematic BDSM/queerness" is literally doing the right's job for them

today it's that weirdo who likes kinks you don't, tomorrow it's you

bonus Discworld QOTD, from The Shepherd's Crown

"FOR I CAN SEE THE BALANCE AND YOU HAVE LEFT THE WORLD MUCH BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT, AND IF YOU ASK ME, said Death, NOBODY COULD DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT…"

every person who worked on unbeatable (including many trans people) gets a cut of the game and it also supports the studio which helps us keep them hired

so basically buy your trans friends unbeatable to kill three birds with one forbidden ultimate move
