Alex har sökt andligt stöd medan Magnus har festat på Talluddefestivalen och hängt med kloka människor.

Vi har kollat Den femtonde hövdingen. Badhuset öppnar äntligen och en liten snackis från veckan som gått.

Managed to get interviewed by my favourite retired journalist on national TV and got quoted in Russian news media.
Also started a new game project after months of gamedev block, nothing to show of that yet, but here is a photo of me on TV. 📺🎤

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · Aug 6

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. It’s viral. It’s accessible. It’s refreshing. It’s welcoming. It’s here.

Flora & Fang: Guardians of the Vampire Garden is a fun retro-inspired arcade platformer you can really “sink your teeth into.” 🧛‍♂️ Play in single player or local co-op mode.

Flora & Fang( @bortbyting.bsky.social) is a 2D platformer for up to two players that feels like a retro game from the 90s, but with a modern look. The story follows vampire siblings who are left to protect the garden from various insects.

Flora & Fang is now released on both Steam and Switch. If you like couch co-op and single screen arcade games like Bubble Bobble, Rod Land or Snow Bros. it's a game for you.

There will be a few fixes later this month, but now it's on to new adventures.
