Unfortunately, yes, I agree. Degrees don't matter when you can't tell if they just vibed their way through it, so yep, here we are.
Ooooo, it's crabtime?
(which is perhaps less aspirational, but hey)
I even have the business-case justification for this end state: ads have been a nebulous to bad investment for uh, most of the last decade, but influencers are actually worth it
So a post-algorithm, curator-driven internet best serves the needs of those with money, so they'll pull that way too
Anyways, I say this because floundering around wondering Oh No What Will Be Left serves nobody and nothing. We know there are ways through this, we just need to pick one, and then start building to that, and hope it's close enough to merge into what comes next. So fuck it. That's what I'll build to.
Now at this point you might think "oh no, that means circling of wagons! Closed platforms!" but actually weirdly no. Because the nanosecond a corporation controls one of those, their incentive becomes lock-in. Advertising. They want an algorithm, and the second you do that, AI shit will proliferate.
None of this means search engines or the internet goes away, it just means that you need humans in the loop to act like an immune system, to detect/evict the AI bullshit. So the result looks like a curated internet. If anyone remembers The Internet Yellow Pages? Web rings? Those were early examples.
Could I be wrong? Oh, sure, whatever, that's why it's fun to take called-shots this big
But it's the only way I can see out of this. Even after the AI bubble bursts, none of it goes away. So what still works? Social mesh networks, mostly. Mastodon or Bsky being current examples, but we'll see more.
Hmmm
I think the called hail-mary shot I'm gonna state is: AI destroys the algorithmic internet
We have a lot of curators (influencers), and there's no automated way of filtering it, therefore, we collapse to non-algorithmic platforms that are driven primarily by interconnected influencer networks
It's funny seeing how this is news to some people
Being Brazilian and LGB-T-, going to the US/GDC has not been safe for me for a VERY long time
So.. no ABYSS X ZERO at GDC for the foreseeable future, sorry USians.
I really dont want to go through the transphobic visa process or get killed by ICE
Honestly, fair, Gordon deserves to get the shit kicked out of him by Alyx at this point
I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible
Tiny saluting hedgehog? porcupine? sitting in anime lady's hands
Because seriously LOOK AT THIS LIL GUY
I'm sorry you're all wonderful people, but are you This?
No, let's be honest, you're not
So he gets all the good mornings (sorry)
Good morning to no one except the tiny saluting hedgehog (porcupine?) in the Killer Inn trailer youtu.be/euqgqh_KNRw
Also damn this looks cool, like a modern The Ship mixed with Among Us
I will say that Thousand Year Door is truly where Super Mario RPG like, solidified. The prior one (this one) always felt more experimental, not quite there- it's the Mario Sunshine of that branch.
We need a cozy game with a cute guillotine, clearly
Let us behead a straw man with a silly comb-over and then eat the head as part of a harvest festival or something
I like how many game developers are increasingly also tired of this shit store.steampowered.com/app/4200110
Our next game is Verminsteel!
You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun
PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev
But it worked out
Since they eventually had to cross the road THEY WALKED DIRECTLY AT ME SQUEEEEE!!!! Please add your own music.

We went from a reality where it was annoying to find a non-shit encode, to one where it seems everyone only has 1080p or higher to share?
Like come on seriously we all agree Nobody needs a 1080p full set of the Magnum PI remake right? Come on that's a 720p series at best, save that space for better
Genuinely, I think if they could have kept the greed in check for one more decade we'd have been cooked
There really was dropping interest in piracy, fewer folks using torrents, and those who did often did lazy searches for pirate streamers that're easier to kill
But they couldn't help themselves!
The sins of the father, and the son's behavior in the fight, are also this entire commentary on parenting and fatherhood and just
Yeah I assume dads get more out of it but I still greatly enjoyed it
Web development hit a logical peak in the 10's and it's just gotten worse since then 😭
The only thing I'd say has gotten better is the move to doing Wordpress-like data driven sites but compiled to static HTML (like Girhub Pages or HUGO)
The rest tho? Mehhhh
Also watched Nobody 2, which was honestly great
both the Nobody movies kinda sit alongside the Accountant movies as just, really earnest
Also, Nobody 2 contains maybe the best RZA scene and line of his entire acting career
I think next up is Big Hops
Dug this one during IGF, launched recently, so hell yeah
It gets a LOT more interesting past the tutorial, so if you stalled out during the woods area at the beginning? Uh. Give it a bit longer. store.steampowered.com/app/1221480/...
Aaaannd there, finished Skald. 35 hours. Entirely solid Ultima alike RPG. Ending got a bit weird, didn't quite go where I was expecting. Which was good actually, as the expected would have been a bit bland.
Rejected Mega Man robot master?
#art #animation
I got that exact same pack, yep, and I also love Septerra Core!
