I'm *such* a hypocrite. I poo-poo Star Wars for blatant fan service "Oh look it's a Millennium Falcon! Woohoo!" (yawn) - and YET here I am squealing with delight watching the Fallout show being all DiCaprio_point.gif about every little detail they took directly from the games! 😅

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

While Autodesk focused all their attention to fleecing the maximum amount of $$ from their customers Blender just focused on what artists want and, hey, guess which tactic is working out?

Best advice i ever heard was if Valve are taking 30% make them work for it. Every time i have an issue with Steamworks, i just ask them directly (instead of trying to figure it out myself). I've had a MUCH better backend experience since i started doing that.
PC games giant Valve has been told it has to face a £656 million lawsuit in the UK, which claims the Steam giant's revenue share is too high and negatively impacts consumers.

Finally struggled my way through Andor because i was told it was a great tv show even if you're not invested in Star Wars. I found this to be untrue. Really not for me. I think I'm original trilogy and early games but beyond that it's really not my thing.

Envato added "AI tools" a while back (nobody asked) and is now limiting their use to X times/month unless you pay more.
Obvs I don't use these tools but it's a great demonstration of how companies pivoting to AI are going to get shafted so obviously and so hard in the near future.

There's a guy on Tt being all "this is how you get a job in games", and though he's not strictly wrong, he is enforcing the exploitative nature of companies and that just sits very wrong with me. "Kill yourself and get a job" is basically terrible advice, no matter how true...

lmao at the American guy in Japan on TikTok trying to justify calling himself an "expat" rather than "immigrant" ("because I don't plan to be here long-term") is such a giveaway. Imagine hating immigrants so much you, as an immigrant, refuse to call yourself an immigrant. Dude...

Really enjoying the /Netherlands subreddit meltdown. These mods might be underestimating the zeal of the Dutch petty grievances. But also, it again highlights what a rubbish platform Reddit really is.
