how are you supposed to explain that the Deptartment of Education is posting nods to alt-right pedophilic gender-swapping fanfic without sounding like an insane person
Reminder that if Tim TRULY believed this, rocket league, fortnite, fall guys, and alan wake 2 would be on steam.
but he doesn't. What Tim wants is steam. He's pissed he doesn't have it. So he's using the one thing he's done even close to steams success (fortnite) to try and
Exactly this. Valve has held gaming back for years by locking developers’ PC games into Steamworks’ social walled garden where players can’t talk to other players on iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, or even other PC stores.

You can use Steam Datagram Relay (and its servers) on any platform as long as your title ships on Steam.

im getting tired, y'all. really, really fucking tired.
How do you fight something that has become as accessible as water and is a functional nuke to human creativity? Its... really soul sucking, honestly.

Travis Knight says that LAIKA will never use generative AI in their films.
“AI is theft. It’s the ingestion of years and years and years of human creativity and ingenuity, regurgitated back. It has no humanity. It has no spirit.”

The issue with “AI bros” is that they lack vision.
They lack intention.
Everytime a new tool drops, everyone races to see what thing can rip off next.
They taunt you as they recreate something that already exists except, faster, cheaper, and slightly worse.
And when you say “this sucks”, they cannot understand that you don’t mean the quality.
The quality is quite good. Sometimes incredible. The quality is not what sucks.
What sucks is that they aren’t making something with intention.
They have a general end goal in mind and type in the words to get there.
But that’s now how good things get made.
When you are making art, designing, making music, solving problems, beauty is a product of not knowing the end goal.
The goal creates itself as you are creating.

As part of the 2020 Nintendo Gigaleak, an email from Miyamoto to Rare was discovered outlining an idea for a change in Donkey Kong's character for his first fully 3D platforming game. This concept was ultimately scrapped, but the idea may have contributed to giving DK a weapon.

how come trans people always seem to go from one boring gender to another? be original, try bulking up and getting hairy like some sort of gorilla, wearing gender neutral clothing (think space suit), perhaps with a short range tesla cannon and shield bubble to counter aoe slop

A game for people who still want to learn how to draw
- Walk around a garden of statues and sketch them
- Real sculptures 3D scanned for accurate anatomy
- Dynamic lighting mode to practice shading
Game is Figure Drawing Garden.

This truly is the “break glass in case of emergency” collab after Tim Sweeney repeatedly dunked Epic’s reputation with his AI garbage lmfao

My 13 year old has a friend over and I told them to please quiet down because the baby is sleeping and he (friend) told me to shut up?? My kids all froze and my son looked at him like wtf?? And my husband who was on a call in his office was like, "Joe, I need to call you back." They're now on a walk discussing respect, kid was still smirking until my husband walked out and told him to get his shoes because they were going to go have a talk. Weird afternoon.

Pepsipu’s technical exploit has been known for over a year
The hacker community kept it under wraps.
Now some people in that same community are mad at Pepsipu for letting Nintendo know it exists.

Gaming just feels really sad right now. Layoffs every other week. Told you must accept GenAI slop or you won't survive. If a game doesn't have 400k concurrent players it's a "dead game"
I'm just tired. This isn't how I remember gaming, it used to feel more magical, yeah...
anyway, if anyone has good next fest recommendations of actual games by real people, let me know! I'd love to try some new games and toss them on my ever-increasing wishlist.
I used to love Steam Next Fest. one of my favorite events, beyond the seasonal sales obviously.
try scrolling through it. It's... awful. Ai generated thumbnails everywhere. a bunch of games that are obviously opus one shots.... It's fucking awful.
