You should be concerned about #Discord IPO and "more #AI." This is the same #enshittification that has occurred at every other online service that thinks they have captured users (you) and business (any discord youre in +1000 users). If Elon buys Discord, and you leave, who is following you where?

One of the top moments for streaming in 2025 for me was by @devilligan.bsky.social. At the time I thought @ameliatyler.bsky.social's narration BG3 style would fit well. With repurposed BG3 dialogue and the live reacts from The Minkies, I couldn't be more pleased with how this edit turned out.

As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what methods games journalists with no ethics will use to belittle concerns about use of AI, like implying Word docs & finance spreadsheets are somehow relevant to a game.

The Blue Prince situation is a really good example of the ongoing breakdown in the games journalism editorial process, ie a properly managed Escapist would have killed the pitch immediately after the writer revealed a lack of proof in the claim
There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at
@dogubomb.bsky.social.
It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

I knew The Escapist had declined but holy shit. This has all the reactionary hits, calling the Indie Game Awards enforcing their own rules 'performative' while writing and publishing this performative outrage. Accusing Blue Prince of using AI is, near I can tell, not sourced anywhere.

"ModRetro products are of a high standard, and the company is working with the likes of Wayforward and Argonaut on re-releasing classic Game Boy games." More companies to boycott.
As somebody who dropped Time Extension back in 2024 over this shit, glad to see they changed course.
