Hi, my name is Shatro! I'm a solo game dev that will launch their first small browser-based game soon. If you like it when numbers go up, you're at the right place! My website also just LAUNCHED and you can visit it here: shatro.games

@evankinney @Saveloyy_ I fucking love you Evan

@Saveloyy_ go fuck yourself

Due to Epic Games struggling this past week. They have recalled me in to work and I will be more focused than ever to make this game enjoyable. They have put me in charge of prioritising Console over PC Tournaments. I'm back!!!

@Knoebelbroet Not surprising, but still really sad :(

Nacon owned studios Spiders (GreedFall), Kylotonn (Testdrive) and Cyanide (Styx) have filed for insolvency. gamedeveloper.com/business/frenc…

@Knoebelbroet Fuck that dude lol

@NeverSinkDev You will not be able to properly evaluate the results of AI if you're not a good dev, that's what I learned over the past years. I had a lot of AI solutions that worked, but wouldn't scale, perform or simplify any existing approach.

Once again, these are MY principles. I'm a solid developer. I want to keep my skills sharp. Even if AI will become a big part of my daily work one day - my capability of giving exact instructions is limited by my sharpness of understanding - the code, the tech, the context, the customer, the use case. If all you're doing is prompting you may end up becoming as sharp as a spoon and the quality of your results will plummet.

I've been getting PMs regarding what I think legit use cases for AI in coding are that don't cause your app to get 'vibe coding feel': First of all: I'm not here to tell you how to manage your project. These are wild times. PERSONALLY: I feel the following are all solid use-cases. Limiting yourself to this list will avoid you losing grasp on your project. - Creating summaries about existing code or helping to understand code you didn't write yourself - Checking existing documentation for consistency - Writing unit tests - Doing mass edits/searches for specific patterns - Scanning code looking for memory leaks and vulnerabilities - Writing boilerplate code - Helping with refactoring - Building prototypes for quick testing - Building UIs/overlays that are ONLY used by you (for debugging, tooling etc) - Building DTO and JSON/CSV export/import interfaces - Writing isolated mini-scripts - Building editor-only tooling for unity and similar environments - Asking for advice on your architecture/coding style - Looking for ways to improve existing code - Regex... Anything that helps with regex is good in my book - Building misc pieces of code that you're SURE will not become central/expanded in the future

@geoffkeighley "Fuck the Oscars" as a wise man once said @josef_fares

So incredibly disappointed and heartbroken that the #Oscars and AMPAS chose not to include my father, David Keighley, and his immeasurable contributions to IMAX and cinema in the In Memoriam segment in the broadcast. I will never forget.

@Indiana_England @CMBAAYYY12 @klobrille It's not worthless, it's just not for you, specifically. Also, it sounds like you want to be forced into having to buy a console through exclusives, which, to me, is a really weird mindset.

@CMBAAYYY12 @klobrille Nah. Helix isnt needed. Literally every single game on it can be played without owning it. Worthless

Xbox Project Helix: • Plays your Xbox Console & PC Games • Powered by Custom AMD SOC • AMD FSR Next, including Multi Frame Generation • Deep Texture Compression "We're sending alpha versions of Project Helix to developers starting in 2027" says Jason Ronald.

Xbox doesn't need exclusives, but they need amazing games and make it clear they are Xbox games, like a seal of quality. I liked the "Xbox Originals" mocks by @klobrille. Make people excited seeing Xbox-branded games, no matter which platform you are on.

Slay the Spire 2 is the best rogue-like game ever made. There, I said it.

Slay the Spire 2 is in many ways like the first one, but more and better. I'm amazed at how well the game introduces all the special effects, many games struggle at that and fail. This is a serious GOTY contender once it is out of Early Access.

@DarthMicroT cringe af

Path of Exile's new Div Card has a hidden message. The 1st Letter of each word spells out: "DFOURBAD"

well, I guess I will be playing less PlayStation games then.

@klobrille Getting people over to Xbox via exclusives would be such a massive undertaking that it would most likely take 15-20 years and they'd have to deliver consistently high quality products. The times have passed for this kind of strategy, sorry.

Xbox could build the best console in the world, at the most competitive price available; the trajectory of the Xbox ecosystem won't change for the better if you don't start to rebuild your brand identity by offering experiences & games you have only on Xbox (Console, Cloud, PC).

@DestinLegarie Well, I guess I won't be playing any Sony first-party exclusives, then. Won't buy a console just for exclusives, that's dumb.

I’ll say the unpopular take… I do not love the idea of games being exclusively available on a single device forever I’m fine with a one year window, but being locked on less powerful hardware forever kind of stinks.

Amazing work done by Jez yet again! This did give me some confidence in the future of Xbox if I'm being honest.

@Ravenismeee ok.

how do you text "okay" but in the rudest way possible

@DestinLegarie It won't shut down but it will be trimmed a lot... in like 5 years if nothing changes for the better.

Yeah this is the part of the whole Xbox shutting down thing that makes no sense to me. Like... Activision closed in late 2023. 3 years later they close up shop? Doesn't make sense imo.

Oh no, Vampire Crawlers f*cking rules. @poncle_vampire Btw, the demo progress carries over, so start getting addicted. 👀

This is not photoshopped. This is a real video that exists.
