Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

if a Palestinian had a photo of them out there signing a bomb they wouldn’t be allowed in the country and news corp would be dragging them and their family every day for three weeks

Bisan Owda, one of the few surviving Palestinian journalists and filmmakers who shed light on Israel's murderous brutality and genocide, was censored from TikTok four days after the app transferred to the US oligarchy.
You cannot know about the genocide. You must forget. They'll make sure.

I bought an AI generated guide for Umurangi Generation and it has guides for levels that don’t exist and tips for gameplay that doesn’t exist. It also never mentions a single photo bounty

Anybody here remember when we ported part of our game to SNES?
This was a really fun experiment, real Famicom Detective Club Part 2 vibes. Maybe someday we can do the whole thing, I'd love to remix the OST for it. #gamedev #indiegamedev
