People keep saying it’s “harmless” or “ironic”, but I just can’t see a world in which calling social games “friendslop” is ok.

To me, it’s a horrible word, with disrespectful connotations & I find it an insult to players, devs, human connection & life itself #IndieDev #CoOp #IndieGames #Multiplayer

IndieDB is one of the few places where relatively small games like mine actually stand a chance of rising to the top. I am here, once again, to formally ask you to vote "Cyclopean: The Great Abyss" for Indie of the Year.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.
