New year, new(ish) intro post

Hey everyone, I am Vildravn and I've been in the #gamedev industry for over 10 years now. I am a build engineer by profession - it's like playing Factorio but in real life!

On the side, I dabble in variety of coding and try to make my own games or help other devs.

I know this is not really a high brow "comback" but it makes no sense for the Epic Store to exist..
Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labeling games as 'made with AI' 🎮

"It makes no sense for game stores where AI will be involved in nearly all future production"

You used to be able to look up news, watch videos, find a recipe, buy a book, and now it's all tainted.

Worse, it's the stolen output of real people slapped in a blender, fermented and then sprayed into our faces.

And even when you say no, stop, they force open your mouth and spray more filth in.

This was one hell of an undertaking. We still have a lot to learn with Linux benchmarking, but we finally have a foundation for it. This is our first-ever round of desktop Linux GPU gaming benchmarks -- we've previously only done this on handhelds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovOx...

Credits are basically a free space. Players will watch them or not. Those who do will come to understand how each person participated. We also credit everyone who ever touched the game in any way. This means for a relatively small team our credits are long. But who cares? Why be stingy with it?

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

I hate that negativity gets all the amplification by social media algorithms.

Let’s amplify LOVE instead.

I am beaming love at you. Right now.

Fuck the haters. I defy you. I am beaming extra love right into your face. Relax and be loved.

One of the fun things about WoW player housing is that a single new decor piece can unlock a huge amount of possibilities to creative players. Let alone a new feature like the skybox rooms. I can't wait to see more stuff like this as well as the possibilities future additions to housing will unlock.
i saw this video by someone who used a bunch of elven tables to make a crashed draenei spaceship in their house and i was just so floored that i had to table my other plans. because after we ship this patch i ship this ship.

people are awesome.

Oh hey Vermintide 2 is a fucking BANGER of a game don't miss this
Cool free stuff alert: They're giving away the base version of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 this weekend.

Really good co-op first-person brawler about the world's most dysfunctional friend group fighting through the ratpocalypse.

There's some decent DLC but they've added a LOT for free over the years.

The critically acclaimed Vermintide 2 is a visually stunning and groundbreaking melee action game pushing the boundaries of the first person co-op genre. Join the fight now!
