Reminder!: Its totally fine to torrent games made with AI. Its not pirating its just scraping the game off the web :) (not sure why people would want slop but knock yourself out)

Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production'

New sprite renders of the Worm Queen for my bug game prototype 🐛 Idea is you breed bugs to feed to this queen to boost your score and get in-game "currency"

highly recommend buying a tube of larvae instead of pesticides, they are wayyyy better, you dont even need to find all the aphids they will do that for you

I think I'd have a hard time being an entomologist because I dont like killing bugs, when I look at them under the microscope I let them crawl onto sticky side of tape to keep them still, then unstick them and free them afterwards

I also bought some lacewing larvae to hopefully eat my aphid infestation on my pepper plants. so at least its other bugs killing the aphids instead of me

Been working on a prototype the past few months. Idea is to create a little bug ecosystem. You build up a foodchain where bugs build hives and eat certain plants or other bugs.
