- Comment on I just released my first fully free Android game: Wandering Alchemist (GPS walking game) 1 day ago:
I’m on iOS so cannot try it out. Wishing you the best and looking forward to playing it on iPhone if you manage to get to that! Can you tell us more about the assets you’re using? I’m curious how you managed to get a cohesive look. Did you draw everything yourself? (Tip: look into adding ground shadows!)

So to be a game dev you have to not be a game dev? Which is it?
- Comment on The gaming industry is truly messed up… 2 days ago:
How are devs supposed to live while making an indie game?
Also the added issue of not being able to market indie games effectively given the ocean of AI trash and asset flipping.
Also, using France as an example, gaming industry job offers declining by 71% since 2022. emploi.afjv.com/observatoire/metiers.php
It’s a hard world out there.

The controller only has a microphone. You talk to the AI with the controller and the AI plays the game for you.
- Comment on How would Sam Altman have any idea what humans enjoy? 2 days ago:
I didn’t even think of this:
- Turn your computer into a honey pot.
- AI hacks you for reasons only known to it
- Have it do AI stuff for you for free.
- ???
- Profit

- Comment on I'm A Game Dev Who Got Layed Off From His Non-Game Dev Job 4 days ago:
Well that is an over-saturation of games. Isn’t that mainly due to AI tools making it easy to make all the elements you would need for a game in a mediocre way? People are still playing games and buying them and game devs still have to make them. Are you saying that the industry has been automated enough that the need for talent really isn’t there anymore?

Until Gabe has a heart attack, venture capitalists takes over and stab all the PC gamers in the back. I guess there will be warning signs and it’s still people to un-DRM some Steam games so for now we’re ok.

Can you expand on why you think the market is saturated?
Games are some of the most complex pieces of software you can make and they rely heavily on artistic elements, meaning that it’s not 100% technical work.
It makes it hard IMHO to even become a game dev and make a game in the first place. Wondering why you think the game dev market is saturated given that assumption.

There is nothing like republican Xenia:
- bathing guests in tear gas
- gifts of insults and oppression
- exchanging gifts such as children to appease the gods
- lodging guests in jail
- safe escort to their next ICE prison camp destination
- it’s considered rude to ask who the guests are before they have finished the meal offered to them. We don’t know who’s in the camps.

SF same as LA??? Have you been to either? Scale. LA is huge. SF is a tiny city. Weather. LA has nice weather. SF has four seasons: windy, foggy, ok, rainy. Always somewhat cold. Food: LA is so much bigger and has much more to offer. SF has good food if you can afford it. Vibe: in LA everyone is nice to you but doesn’t care about you unless you’re rich. In SF no one cares about you. Architecture: suburb vs Victorian suburb.

How nice for you to have all that content on hand to train an AI that can then go steal that content again.

But we just established that computers can’t be artists. Therefore they cannot steal.

That is a very old pic. The logo has been different for a while, they don’t really sell those robots anymore, they went bankrupt and got bought by a Chinese company. iRobot created the vacuum robot and failed at staying in the game.

I paraphrased a rough translation in another reply if you want to take a look.
- Comment on French village is switching their computers to Linux. They will no longer purchase Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office 3 weeks ago:
The video says they are handling “banking info, health data and personal records”
- Comment on French village is switching their computers to Linux. They will no longer purchase Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office 3 weeks ago:
Paraphrasing from the video: it’s a small town (2k people) in the Loire region. They claim that the transition to Linux wasn’t as hard as anticipated, meaning it wasn’t as hard to teach town officials to use it as they thought. Users are happy to see their machines run faster on Linux than on bloated Windows They are looking forward to saving money on SW but also on equipment since they don’t have to buy new machines for the Windows 11 planned obsolescence madness. However, the main reason the town switched was for privacy. They handle confidential info and are betting on Linux track record as less of a target of ransomware and other exploits, hopefully protecting their citizens data better.
10/10, who ever the mayor or city manager is, I applaud their clear mindedness and courage to make this transition. Hopefully, seeing the benefits, more towns will follow suite.

Thermal vents under water will keep you alive but it won’t be your energy source for industry. Also, how do you invent the steam engine under water on a thermal vent that cannot move around?

I’ve used Kinguin a couple times to get keys for games so I could buy them at sales price during regular price season. It worked twice for me but don’t know if they can be trusted, do your homework
