this is true but also applies to a lesser-but-still-massive extent to many roles, almost all roles imo.. in the same way that "if there is no producer, someone(s) else is doing the work of production", people can reach outside their role to affect change positive or disastrous
There are a lot of roles in game dev where someone bad in a role can do damage, but a bad producer can be so unbelievably damaging that it truly would be better to have no one in the role at all.

Just as good producers are force multipliers, bad producers are like throwing sand into a gearbox.
A good producer is absolutely an incredible force multiplier and allows the folks who are creating the actual artifacts to be more effective.

A producer beholden to methodology or who does not understand the needs of the game they're working, however, can do irreparable damage very easily.

If they wanted to do a new LittleBigPlanet game, I'd be ok with that.

sometimes someone in my discord is is so self-hating, stating as fact such nasty shit, that they become hostile to any kindness at all. "i'm shit and if you say I'm not you're lying to me" type shit. you have to change your outlook before your helplessness becomes real in a way you don't expect

this is so cart-before-horse to me. i don't accept that people's attention spans are shorter in a way that has to matter. the problem is that we keep thinking that and "complying in advance" with the imagined boogieman of "people not paying attention nowadays". nothing done in that direction helps
You wanna know why we're having nag line discourse in 2025? Because developers know we're fighting an attention economy war we'll lose no matter what. Players don't read, have TikTok open next to them, god forbid we are scared you miss something and then blame us for not giving you all the info.

I didn‘t enjoy Stranger Things as much as to be a big fan, but I am getting a little bit annoyed by how far from Spielberg it has gone into King, and how far it has gone from gentle subtext into constant and repeated plot information with no stage business to soften it

For a while now, genuinely, there's been no one else in journalism who I hold in as high regard as @gamersnexus.bsky.social

Thanks, Steve, and thanks to all y'all with GN for being the literal one and only substantial source of news that has yet to feel to me like a Gell-Mann tarpit
If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

I had been loosely following RAM shortages, but Micron leaving the consumer market made me take a deeper look at what's happening.

If you're like me, and had filed away as 'a thing that is happening', it's worth starting to take a look, because this is getting pretty bad, pretty quick.

An interesting comparison with itchio posting on both bsky and twitter. Itch has 208K followers on twitter, 81K on bsky. But look at the amount of likes and reposts.

Also there's the fact that twitter is a nazi bar now.

AI imagery is the equivalent of Plato’s prisoner being bored of sunlight, clambering down into a cave, shackling himself to a rock to watch shadows cast by firelight and forgetting that the world above exists.
this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

HELP.

I'VE BEEN TARGETED. store.steampowered.com/app/2417470/...

(it's a cozy get-supplies-and-cook-dishes kinda game, but furry, and also you're powering up your customers who then go on little shadow puppet-styled adventures and have combats that are a deckbuilder empowered by your cooking!)

Welcome to Beastro! In this charming fusion of fantasy adventure, not all heroes wield swords… Some prefer the spoon. And, sometimes to save the world you’ve got to start with a really good meal.

New blog post: "interest sources", contextual NPC interactions, as deployed by me in @sleightofhand.game and other things. Here is one way that you, too, can keep your code from ballooning while actively encouraging your design aspirations to balloon

I think few things feel as validating to artists as having another artist draw your OCs.

It's like.... "Oh! You can see them too! Good. It's not just me."
