You’re not a fan of Hideo Kojima unless you refuse to finish Metal Gear Solid 5 just like he did.

I code & design with it every day. It's great to tackle components of a game, not design & assemble a full game itself.
It's because code doesn't just produce features, it produces real-time animated interactive results that I think will require multi-model AI with video.
As of now, AI cannot produce a full experience with as much sauce as this in terms of game feel, and it's nothing compared to modern AAA games in terms of complexity.

For the second year, @levelsio has organized the Vibe Jam, and I am jury. I think what he's doing is important:
1. Games are intricate software puzzles with the multiplicative complexity of hardcore engineering x creative problems.
2. While AI is now incredibly helpful in most disciplines like legal, programming, healthcare, maths, chemistry, and physics, they aren't great for large creative problems like making games yet.
3. Which is why I think the Vibe Jam is becoming an important yearly benchmark to appreciate progress in the field. Each game submitted has to be 90% AI.
4. Yes, don't expect masterpieces, it's still slop & very far from what gamedevs currently achieve, and that's the point: to measure the trajectory of this tech & the growing accessibility of games development. It's my way of staying ahead of the curve, and particularly relevant to my work, The Last Night (@TLN_Game).

And.....✅ DONE! The Vibe Jam of 2026 sponsored by @cursor_ai + @boltdotnew + @heyglif + @tripoai is officially closed 🕹️ 945 games submitted 🛝 242,212 players 👁️ ~12 million views on X Now me and @s13k_ will start the judging process, probably pre-vetting games first with some help from AI (like if the games load at all) and then they go on to all the judges I want to thank everyone who participated! ❤️ There's only 3 cash prizes but even if you don't win, I hope you all had fun creating things, which is the best part of AI for me, it lets me create things I could never have dreamt of making before It's already clear to me from the submissions that AI's ability to help you create beautiful and fun games has progressed a lot, last year's games looked clunky and basic, this year's games are starting to look like stuff you could find on Steam There's no specific deadline for when judging is done but we'll try to be as fast as possible, last year it took 2 weeks I think! THANK YOU!!!

NASA HAS RELEASED OVER 12,000 IMAGES OF THE ARTEMIS II MISSION.
Unbelievable perspectives captured by the Crew! The aurora on the eclipse is incredible.

As Keynesian politics have fattened up the state to economically unsustainable levels in the West, liberalism will be perceived as the cure (as shown by Milei).
So naturally, the left’s next move is to attack liberal values. This movie is a perfect example.

I think its not totally fair to just call them slop. Most of the games that we consider to be not slop have taken years of development from creators who have even more years of experience.
Most people using traditional methods would produce work that doesn't look that good with 1 month to build from scratch
English
@jere_codes @levelsio Most participants aren’t game students, or don’t live from game development or even aspire to make it a full time career, like is the case traditional game jams.
Which is why it’s particularly interesting, as too many of my peers reject what they perceive as a threat.
English
@TolemustheGrey I agree. @nocanwin a progressively faded color palette with the distance would help for the background waves that aren't aligned with the player.
English
Really clever use of depth to help the player anticipate what's coming (a classic problem in side-scrollers). Plus, it's just beautiful.

Feels good to jump back into water after a lot of UI work

@EU_Commission I obvious agree with freedom of press.
Please consider that a good line stands on its own.
This style of communication with repeated mantras is an intellectually repellant, as one can immediately smell the attempt to force idea penetration through repetition.
English
Let the truth be told, let the press be free. 📰
Journalists hold power to account, uncover injustice, and keep citizens informed often at great personal risk.
This #WorldPressFreedomDay, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting journalists and defending independent media.
Because free press is the foundation of democracy.

Every thing I have seen from this guy has been utterly superb.

Pilot of Artemis II Victor Glover gave the perfect answer when asked what it felt like to be the first black person to fly around the moon 👏 🎥: CBS Mornings

Because a good chunk of the political landscape revolves around the blank slate & noble savage myths, implying that civilization is corrupted & growing like a cancer.
Hence Avatar, etc…
Look what happened to Napoleon Chagnon, the anthropologist, or to the movie Apocalypto, often considered racist for depicting the violence of tribes.
English
I still genuinely dont understand why the idea that neolithic peoples engaged in violent conquests would be “a political problem.”

David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread. "It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't friendly, it wasn't nice. Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."

Meanwhile video games are rendering this entire scene 120 times a second with 8.3 milliseconds frame time

Just want to make sure I'm reading this right: Microsoft rewrote the run dialog with performance "top-of-mind", and the best they could manage to do when putting up a single text box was 10fps?

@dumpsterfire_24 Yeah no doubt Banksy made this statue in the center of London with the LGBT / Palestine flags in mind, no doubt!
Stop with the bad faith.
English
I find Banksy incredibly shallow.
His work has fundamentally nothing to say, and his selection of causes shows a complete lack of courage.
Notice how he never combats actual obscurantism, fanaticism & authoritarianism (where he would be thrown in jail for life).

The new Banksy sculpture in London is brilliant
