I didn't think I was going to do a pumpkin this year, but my son wouldn't allow that. So there's a new one up, a little rushy, but still fun:

Now now, there is a simple path from this to good. You just start over from scratch and make a different game, using people this time.
Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

This is insanely bad for anyone doing game development. Who the hell knows what Gaming Copilot is doing with your screen captures, but it almost certainly isn't compliant with your NDA.
If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on

I cannot argue with this.
someone in a podcast I listened to today said like "all the developers that worked on legendary games in the 90s would never be able to get into the industry today" and I think that might be entirely accurate

Best encapsulation of game design in general that I've seen in a while.
sometimes for game dev you google which animals have the best eyesight.
then for game dev you ignore the AI summary claiming one such animal is 'goat'.
then for game dev you have to read a whole-ass article to find out yes Goat is one of the best but god damnit I'm still not doing that.
