Most games are dogs. They aim to please, even when challenging you, they are ultimately an encouraging friend.
Imsims are cats. They might be friendly, cute and enjoyable, but they are there doing their own thing, and interactions may lead to unforeseen outcomes.
I’m more of a cat person.
I think it's time I let Bsky know that I am looking for new opportunities. I am an experienced technical game designer, familiar with all kinds of engines - Unity, UE, and Godot being my top ones. I'm based in Bulgaria and willing to work remote anywhere. More: dastmo.com

Step 1: Take all books on game design ever written and set them ablaze.
Hemi Lovato caught me very much off guard. Love it!
While I do get the joke, I believe that the shader bible does make sense in print. Not for me and you, yes, but for some people. Remember when ebooks were not a thing, and all computer books were in print? A lot of people still prefer it this way, because that's how they learned 30 years ago.

Okay, time for real talk.
This. And, yes, better tools mean bigger scopes. But the scopes grow faster than the tools' capabilities. Which is the aforementioned mismanagement. The funny thing is, we don't need to make games bigger for them to be better.
Pro tip: You can enjoy new things without announcing it on social media, too.
games*. I should proofread more often.
I had to stop calling game AI that, because I noticed that people unfamiliar with flgames thought I was using GenAI and that made me feel icky. I now call it Bots or CPUs, like in the good old days before I was even born.
Do you happen to be hiring game designers right now? Because Embracer made sure I got my first layoff quite recently.
It has a horrible return-to-player rate, too. But there is an argument to be made that it can be a game of skill, and not one of chance. So, I think the definition would be somewhat murky.
Last, very aggressive attempts to make people invest in AI tech and raise their stocks before it comes crumbling down. He is not stupid. He is simply milking what little is left of the AI craze.
Does the goop feed an Old God that gets hangry and wreaks havoc if you take too long?
Does it have gameplay implications? If you have to redesign stuff, just to keep it, then don't. If it doesn't break anything, then keep it.
Or maybe he didn't...?
Best consult with a copyright lawyer, because the whole thing is rather murky. There are some trademarks that are in play here, not just copyright. Someone else on Reddit had a very similar question: www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/s/...
I feel like the article's featured image undermines the excellent point it makes.
Nvidia is grasping for straws at this point, I think. The bubble is about to pop.
POV: You decide to sit back and let the CPUs test themselves.

I am urgently reminding people that while this era of shoehorned ai slop will pass, you get to decide if you publicly complimented the emperor’s beautiful outfit or not.
Credibility is tough to rebuild
Honestly, I blame you specifically for letting them go free. Look what corporate Thomas is doing now!
Expect a call from Nintendo's lawyers.
The worst part about making a local multiplayer game is that when it comes time to playtest it, you must either settle for a non-gamer wife and a five-year-old kid or you need to somehow convince people to actually physically come over. And that's almost impossible since COVID.

It is worth its weight in gold this. I cannot recommend it enough.

Had the design language pinned immediately, but then I was shooting in the dark.
What the Ferraris are doing is not smart, but it's definitely fun. I feel like I'm watching my local karting buddies. Love it! #ChineseGP
I say this after carefully considering how my opinion might affect anyone and anything around me: The can all get fucked!

100% a lucky guess here.
I'm about to drop a prototype into the world where the entire game logic, UI flow, and animations live in a single root node of the only scene. I'm sure your code is fine.
