Oh no Clair Obscur lost the award they never should have qualified for anyway because they aren't an indie game.

Also what is disgusting about genAI cute animal content. The value of that cute animal video is that there’s a little being with a life that means something on the other end of the lens and that life is bringing you joy. They poured poison in that well and now you never know if they were ever alive

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives.

Finally got an excuse to use Unity's VFX graphs (instead of good old particle systems out of habit) and I must say they are pretty neat. The ability to combine them with Shadergraph shaders did it for me! So I can both have flying behaviour and flapping wings in this little bee swarm VFX I made 🐝 👌

Fortunate Son played over a military parade of obviously checked-out soldiers, marching out of sync to stroke the ego of a real estate mogul turned president who dodged the draft the song was written in criticism of.

I am formerly rejecting "If you wrote this in a novel it'd be too on-the-nose". Going forward my characters will perform unambiguous symbology, read lines devoid of subtly, whilst a big flashing sign over the stage reads THIS IS ALL REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW YOU FUCKS.

Wanna know why most of game devs are Left-leaning?
Because you actually have to doubt about yourself and what you do A LOT in order to make something good.
You gotta be your own critic, question your choices and accept when you are wrong at all times.
