Emotions are the basic and most important part of human function, as essential as protein. So why is it that so many game designers don't design for emotion?

it’s not enough to build something, part 2: you must be aware that someone will play the video game
Years ago, a teen pitched an idea to me: “what if you wrote a story about an alien from the perspective of an alien?”

Can we get some large financial backers behind some good mobile Linux distros and for hardware vendors to provide open firmware please?

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In 2027, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

"But my Wyvern development has been burning the equivalent of $87k/month of API token burn, or about 69 billion tokens in July... in reality I'm only spending about $2800/month out of pocket."
What's Wyvern, you ask? See image #2. $87k/month.

Played @chromaticconundrum.bsky.social
Nice and short (~70 min) playtime.
Ran well, played well.
Tiny little criticism: one instance of physics jank messed up a solve attempt :( it worked properly on the second try, so not a big issue.
Good game, nice work!

Finding a software developer job and sticking to my morals seem like mutually exclusive goals right now. Every listing wants AI experience, and every description talks about how they use AI tools in their process. Apparently 10 years of experience means nothing if I've never used AI in my process.

I'm 44 hours into Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition and about to drop it because it's such a slog..
For progress reference; my party members are level 12.
Is it worth pushing through to the end or should I just abandon it and move on to a different game?

Got another "impossible" port for you.
You might have heard of a little game called
#SuperMario 64
Well, a #GBA #homebrew demo is out, made by "Joshua Barretto"
To say this is impressive would be an understatement!

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether.

There is no chance the people making these drastically overblown valuations are not profiting from it.
BREAKING: SpaceX is now worth more than Amazon.
SpaceX market cap is $2.75 trillion, Amazon's is $2.65 trillion.
Amazon's profits were $78 billion last year. SpaceX lost $5 billion last year.
