Since I’m sick of Twitter’s crud, any new posts that is not text will be going here. I’m not fully leaving because there are friends that I can only talk with here.

-Indie dev encounters issues at the end of their development cycle
-indie dev attempts to troubleshoot said issues
-indie dev consults the MANUFACTURER of their game engine, THEY can't solve their issues
-as a last-ditch effort to avoid shipping a game with a glitch they can't iron out, they spitball with an LLM
-surprisingly, LLM assists in workarounds that fix said issues
-despite not needing to disclose (per steam TOS), the dev is honest about their disclosure when nominated for awards to be transparent.
I would say House House did everything right. An LLM was used to solve problems humans could not. It didnt generate assets. It didnt infringe on the creative process.
I hate what AI, and particularly GenAI has done to the gaming industry, but this is a stupid fucking hill to die on. This isn't vibe coding. This isn't slop. This is what AI was SUPPOSED to do in industry.
Pick the right battles, people.
Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House House used LLMs sparingly near the end of Big Walk's development, mainly to fix bugs in third-party code. They estimate well under 0.1% of the game's code was affected, and they didn't use generative AI elsewhere.

How much you guys bet they’ll still animate the characters talking without them actually saying anything, creating a problem that would’ve been fixed if they just either had voice acting or STOP ANIMATING CUTSCENES THAT ARE CLEARLY MEANT TO BE VOICE ACTED!
🚨 NEW Pokémon Winds & Waves potential leaks:
❌ No voice acting
❌ Mega Evolutions are reportedly NOT returning
• Charcadet is getting a new evolution
• Oricorio is getting 2 new forms
• Jynx is in the game, but it’s unknown if it has anything new
• Gyms are completed in a fixed order
• WiWa is structured much more like a traditional Pokémon game, with most content being done in order
• Procedural generation is still used throughout the game

If my digital art professor asked me to explain the design process behind what is now my profile picture through a 4 page essay & 8 slide PowerPoint presentation when they’ve never assigned something like that, I’m doing the dang assignment and not crying about it online.

"Imply an interconnected universe"
Are people just MCU-brained now? Is there no such thing as a "for fun" easter egg?
I smiled when I got to this option since my Tifa plush is one of my main little buddies to help me get to sleep! Both her and Aerith are my comfort girls though I will hug so many other characters for sake of my sleep.

“ChatGPT is officially on death row”
A very sad day. ChatGPT is officially on death row.
The beautiful, blissful experience of interacting with a frontier-ish reasoning model without worrying about a usage meter will soon be a thing of the past.
I am weirdly significantly impacted by this. It feels like it shouldn’t matter…I could reserve all current usage for Codex and buy a $20 plan just for ChatGPT and it would be more than enough. But it’s not about the money…it’s about the psychological impact of The Meter.
The idea of having to think about optimizing for a meter is just so exhausting that it ruins the whimsy of free-flowing exploratory thought.
That is what ChatGPT was. A whimsical, magical all-you-can-think buffet of experimentation and exploration where you were limited only by your imagination and your ability to come up with $20 once a month.
You didn’t have to think about “using all of your usage” or scheduling your thinking time around someone else’s arbitrary schedule…you just had a portal to endless information and research capability in your pocket to tap into guilt-free at any time the moment struck you.
But either because OpenAI thinks adding the meter will stimulate additional usage (it probably will), generate additional revenue (it probably will), or just because too many people took undue advantage of ChatGPT’s generous allowances (they definitely did)…that amazing, weightless experience is now coming to an end.
It was awesome while it lasted. RIP ChatGPT.

I’m fine with no voice acting in Pokemon but they have to stop having scenes that are shot like they should be voice acted. (Ex: Piers’s concert, one of the opening cutscenes in Legends ZA)
My hot take is I don't think Pokémon should have voice acting. I NEED there to be at least one game that still forces people to read in this day and age. The scary words can't hurt you. Please be patient and take two seconds to read a sentence, I beg of you

13,808 resets. I think I maintained a certain quiet dignity after finally getting a SHINY QUAGSIRE IN POKEMON COLOSSEUM!

It’s really so funny how people tried to pass this off as if this is how the game actually functioned on switch 1 until it was revealed people were emulating it on pc and it just made the game run like shit
This was the only PS1 Spyro game I had as a kid, and I loved it. The game fostered my love of dragons and the Spyro series as a whole.
Today marks the 27th anniversary of #Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, the second game in the #SpyroTheDragon franchise.
