@alightinastorm @rfleury We just have to wait until the bubble bursts and your entire personality evaporates

the guy who hates on vibe coding the most
produces a game which could be vibe coded
couldn't wish for a better timeline

Something we've been working on...

@KiwiOnTheSticks Apparently, and I don't agree with this take, but not having any skills in something and being told to develop those skills to be able to take part is apparently "gatekeeping" 🙄

If you’re not familiar with how to make a video, you shouldn’t be entering a video making contest. Why is this hard to understand
Party Animals@party_animals
Hi everyone. We’d like to address the recent discussion around the AI video contest, and first of all, we’re sorry for upsetting players with this event. We’re also sorry that we didn’t communicate with everyone clearly enough before the event started. Our original goal was to lower the barrier to creation. In past contests, we saw players with great ideas and scripts who couldn’t fully bring them to life because they weren’t familiar with tools like editing, modeling, or animation software. We hoped AI could be a more accessible tool that lets more people take part. That said, we understand the concerns around AI content. We are not trying to dismiss handmade work or disrespect creators. To us, AI is just another tool. What we truly care about is the idea, the expression, and the final work. We’d like to leave the next step up to the community. Please vote on what we should do: 1. Cancel the AI video contest 2. Change it into a non-AI creation contest 3. Keep the AI category and add a separate handmade category If you have another suggestion outside of these three options, please feel free to share it as well. Thank you.

And now the countdown to the "game is dead" posts begins from people who never played it and never intended to

Subnautica 2 has hit a peak of 453,000 players on Steam just an hour after its release
English
Man, I’m really worried about consumers.
Not everyone’s tech savvy enough to know this ad is completely AI, and they’re not actually showing the product they’re selling.
AI ads are going to really take advantage of people.

@InfinityReign @party_animals "Feeblemind" accuracy.
To make a Steam review, you must own the game.

@party_animals Caving to this shit is that'll murder your game. These people literally dont even play your game.

We’d like to leave the next step up to the community. Please vote on what we should do:

@RoboticusPrime @party_animals The community note is an absolute murder scene 🤣
Can't even fit in one screenshot

@party_animals The terminally online anti AI folks are NOT your paying customers. They never have and will never be.
Do not bend the knee.

@SpaceHavenGame Congrats! What a milestone 🍾
Have been enjoying its evolution since way, way back on BackerKit. Well done to all the team involved

Ten Years In The Making: Our Colony Sim Space Haven has Been Released as 1.0 Today!
This game has been a true labor of love for us, and with our small team we've put everything we've got into it.

@UK_Daniel_Card I agree with you here. It could be effective and useful if built & managed in the right way.
The main problem is the lack of trust.
People don't trust the govt won't use this against people. Either in monitoring them or eventually limiting services to requiring one

Contrary to most people I think, I'm not massively against digital ID.... (with lots of caveats)
I think having a central digital ID that is decentralised and privacy protecting is way better than the insanity of age verification systems we have today.
We have passports, we have national insurance numbers, we have driving licenses.....
If we have digital versions of these that can be used to attest: I AM AN ADULT
I don't think that's a terrible idea..... as long as it puts you in control of the data being shared and that it's done in a privacy protecting, safe way.....

@r0zemary_ @chhopsky A lot of assumptions being made around the basis that having a Publisher automatically means they're being funded large amounts and because some other game had 'x' situation, so must this one.
Not all Publishers provide funding. Those that do don't always provide a lot either
English
no, the original post i replied to was disingenuous
B&D made the game. they're a small australian studio
the publisher doesn't make the game. he either doesn't know that, or he does and he's misrepresenting it on purpose
not sure why you're talking about 'indie' sorry
r0zemary@r0zemary_
@chhopsky @modredcastleton this seems really disingenuous, most people i know factor in the publisher as to whether they consider a game to be indie or not

@TheMonolith_TV Lmao, didn't actually see this bit of detail before
x.com/i/status/20546…
So yeah. You can earn that money (for Twitch) but never actually see it yourself unless you hit Affiliate 😅
Zach Bussey 🇨🇦@zachbussey
"Why have Affiliate?" Because Twitch doesn't pay out any of the money earned under this system until you hit Affiliate.
English
@TheMonolith_TV Yup. Nothing else.
Show me a single viewer who followed a channel simply because Bits and Subs were available and I'll eat my words 😂
English
If you have enough of an audience to be RECEIVING subs and bits, you should be a Twitch affiliate anyway.
"These tools help you build a community", no, they don't. They put a few extra pennies in Twitch pockets from the friends and family of new and small creators.
Twitch Support@TwitchSupport
📢 Starting today, Channel Points, emotes, subs, Bits, and badges are available to all streamers on Twitch - no Affiliate status required! These tools help you build a community from day one 💜 Enroll and complete your setup in your dashboard today: 🔗 dashboard.twitch.tv/monetization/r…

@Heccles94 @UK_Daniel_Card Let's be honest, both this govt and Palantir aren't going to care. They're eventually going to just do it anyway
English
I don’t mind my data being used my for research to help the NHS etc, however, because the government have now allowed Palantir access, I have withdrawn my consent using this link:
your-data-matters.service.nhs.uk
English
@Heccles94 I'm the exact opposite. I don't trust the government with my data because they have power over me, but a private company can not harm me in the same way. I have to consent to dealing with it.

@viotubing Every time a headline leads with "Florida" you know the most annoyingly stupid story is about to unfold but is also entirely believable at the same time because Florida
