I'm just a dog, learning to make games. I'm not very good at it. I'm a GM with over 25 years of experience, and I love to make settings. Come check it out

@PirateSoftware You discarded your son. He returned to you a man. And you ate him?
English
Looks drab but tastes delicious. Lobster flavor and texture. Smells like syrup on pancakes as it cooks. Just low/medium in butter for 20 or so minutes.
English
About a year ago I tossed some expended lions mane blocks out in a pile of organic compost. Today I found them still growing happily.
English
@PirateSoftware I never got to play SoE. Is it good? Of course it is, because its a SNES game!
English
@ManifoldMarkets Oh man, am I too late? Will my portfolio ever recover?
English
@PirateSoftware I don't blame him. I too want to munch on fungi and nap in the sun.
English
This squirrel has been living in my yard for like a year. All he does is eat mushrooms and lay in the sun.
Say hello to Big Fungus.
English
@PirateSoftware @AriMcBrown That's really neat, its amazing what some people are doing with modern technology and grabbing old tech to inspire/rediscover what's possible.
English
@AriMcBrown Check the link. Half of this is from the sodium vapor video and the other half is done fully digitally using a neural network. The link is to the github to do this on home hardware.
It uses 24 gigs of vram and does this in real time. It's insane.
English
This is actually incredible.

I haven't seen anybody else talk about this, so I'll just put it out: Niko Pueringer from @CorridorDigital published a model for green screen alpha and foreground color estimation: github.com/nikopueringer/… It's extremely Vram hungry (23.7GB), but the quality is definitely there:
English
@PirateSoftware Isn't that based on old yellow light tech?
English
@PirateSoftware Woohoo! More patches! Maybe it's time for me to redownload and play again... now, where did I put my extra hours each days? Oh... oh no. They're gone. What have I done? Children you say? AND work?! In this economy?

Prior patches can be found here or on the Steam Announcements page.

@PirateSoftware I could go for some dark chocolate right now.

Cease your scrolling adventurer.
Social Media brings only doom.
English
@PirateSoftware I give him 3 minutes. Make it the greatest 3 minutes of action cinema, and then die in a funny way.
English
If he doesn't die in the first 30s of the film it's not canon.
English
@BreakfastBee90 @PirateSoftware it's fine if you don't like him, but shouldn't you block him and move on with your life. it's so short anyways, might as well do something you enjoy instead.
English
With this new technology you and your fellow Sloperators can create experiences such as...
Scuffed Expedition 33
A 10 FPS Melting Penguin
Or even...
Flying Bird Blob Sky Island Simulator
The future is now.
Thanks Roblox.

In our research lab, we are building “real-time dreaming” - the ability to generate fully playable video worlds prompted from any text or image. Our real-time, action conditioned world model (currently running internally at 16fps at 832x480p) is trained on a combination of data, including proprietary Roblox 3D avatar/world interaction data. World models are different from multiplayer engines in that they store state and memory in video latents. Roblox is multiplayer, and we are actively researching optimal ways to simultaneously store state for thousands of players, and keep them in sync with their environment. Our world model leverages database technology which stores all user interactions on Roblox in a vector format that can be used to re-render video and interaction from any camera angle. We see several immediate uses for our Roblox world model. We will use it side-by-side text, image and video prompts as a way to launch auto-generation of immersive worlds. In Roblox Studio, a creator could walk around and use prompts to “paint” a world and then convert it into a 3D representation or direct to Roblox native as a way for many people to play simultaneously. All of this comes alive as we explore the notion of a “Dream Theater” - where one user is dreaming, while others watch and prompt them. 2/4

@PirateSoftware Do I have to participate? I'm not going to participate. I try to shun and exclude ai from my life as much as I can.
English
Roblox prioritizing shareholders over creators is not surprising at all; they are a public company, and that's their duty.
If you want to understand the direction the company is heading, don’t look at the marketing aimed at creators. Read how they talk to investors vs how they talk to developers and artists.
In investor communications, the focus is on scalability, efficiency, margins, and AI-driven growth. In creator-facing messaging, the word “AI” is often avoided entirely, replaced with vague buzzwords like “real-time dreaming” or “4D.” That disconnect is calculated.
The strategy is clear, though: leverage developer and artist content to train their own AI labs and reduce dependence on human-created UGC over time. Whether that future arrives in 2 years or 10, the direction is obvious. At the end of the day, platforms under investor pressure look for ways to scale content creation without scaling payouts.
It’s visible in earnings calls, investor decks, hiring patterns, and the language used, depending on the audience. Creators should pay attention because the story told to shareholders contrasts with the one told to them.
What do I know? I've been on both sides: as a successful UGC creator and now as a UGC game/platform. I met with many of the big companies you can think of and was part of many discussions on monetization and business strategy for those businesses. I know this space from the core; I started from absolutely nothing and worked through every aspect of the business.
But hey, that's just my personal opinion ;)

@PirateSoftware @humaneworldorg Awesome community. Congrats everyone!
English
Wanted to thank you all for your donations and shirt purchases over January. In total we raised $10,454.08 for @humaneworldorg through donations and sold a whopping 311 shirts on top of that.
Best damn community I could ask for. ❤️
Pirate Software@PirateSoftware
We are doing our yearly fundraiser for @humaneworldorg! 100% of the revenue from this goes to them and none of it touches our accounts at all. This time you can also pickup a shirt we designed to support them or donate directly through @Twitch on my channel. Links Below.

@Immanuel__Can @CharliePryor @PirateSoftware was it prepurchase/gofund-type thing? my mind seems to be playing games with me.
English
English
@CharliePryor @PirateSoftware yes, I did say that. NMS did redeem itself, but at the EA time, it was almost fraud. SC is known as StoreCitizen for a reason. I don't trust it
English
@SorrontisGames @PirateSoftware ??? NMS, what? It’s like the most beloved comeback story ever, and Star Citizen is alive and well and thriving. Huge update late last year, and even more profound this year
English
@PirateSoftware Its sad that people spout shit without proof and people swallow it up.

Woke up to Ashes of Creation being shut down.
I can honestly say I'm not very surprised after this current phase on Steam. In January of 2025 the team at Intrepid was doing a good job. There were bugs, performance issues, and moderation problems but they communicated and handled things relatively well.
Fast forward to this current phase on Steam and everything imploded. Tons of content that we reported as broken back in 2025 was still unfixed even if it was extremely low hanging fruit. The systems that were built on were developed in weird directions that didn't seem to make sense or feel good overall. On top of that moderation was basically non-existent so players were routinely spouting racial slurs, threats, and hate speech in global all day. In any other game these people would be immediately banned.
I went to bat for Intrepid many times over the years encouraging people to give them a chance. Removing misinformation and showing the community all of the best points of the game. On a personal level I am incredibly disappointed in the entire company now. This isn't the kind of environment that I want to build a community around and not one I personally want to support. I ended up quitting the game three days ago due to this and now it's been shut down entirely.
I enjoyed my time playing Ashes with all of you regardless of the shitshow that it became. Looking forward to whatever new adventures we head out on in the future.
