KeeperAtTheGate

I've got my game page up on itch.io at keeperatthegate.itch.io/gatekeeper All updates will be posted on itch or X. I am not using any other social media.

Pocketpair locked the Japanese players' forum thread where users requested replacing Palworld's "Body Type 1-2" character creation labels with explicit Male and Female options.

Hey game devs! So, each week I spotlight a handful of indie games via Indie Games of The Week Spotlight, but this week I’m doing something different. Our editors Shaun and Dwayne are actively looking for new indie games to play and review. So if you’ve got something you’ve just launched, or have a live demo, and would like a dedicated article or review written by the best in the business-drop it below. Articles will go live this week and next 👌

Hey game developers! I wanna play YOUR games. Indie horror, cozy, anything and all welcome. I can purchase a few of them, so I don't need them all for free, either! Comment the links to your games below so I can stream/review your games! (I'm a big horror fan, btw.)

@Pirat_Nation As long as you realize that AI is probably sourcing it's information from reddit, you'll treat it as reliably as you treat reddit and you'll be fine.

A new study from Wharton researchers found that many people now "surrender" their thinking to AI. When given wrong answers from AI, users followed them about 80% of the time. Their accuracy got worse than if they had worked alone. Yet they felt more confident anyway. The study calls this "cognitive surrender." AI acts like a third way of thinking that can replace our own effort.

NEW: Musician Murphy Campbell says she isn’t making money on YouTube because an AI company is cloning her music and filing copyright claims against her own videos “An entity called Timeless Sounds IR uploaded AI-generated versions of my songs to all major streaming platforms... They used a distributor, which I just discovered, and that distributor’s name is Vydia. They used Vydia to upload all these AI-generated songs. Vydia has since decided to make copyright claims on all of the videos that were used to feed that AI engine to sound like me. So Vydia has come forward and made copyright claims on my YouTube page. Because YouTube does not personally review these things, I am no longer making money on YouTube. Vydia is making money on YouTube off of my own videos of me playing my own banjo in my own backyard with traditional folk songs, some for my own family, over AI-generated music.”

@RealLifeFakeWiz @kristanovva It's a hard life out there. It's better they learn it young.

@kristanovva Wrestled this out of the hands of a small child in a wheelchair on opening night. I don’t play no games.

How many people were able get the Yoshi popcorn bucket? Or even the Luma popcorn buckets? OR ANY MARIO GALAXY MOVIE MERCH FOR THAT MATTER? Apparently they’re sold out or hard to find in certain theatres

@stacks0x_ @1GamewithDave1 I remember my friends back in elementary school didn't understand why I loved this game so much.

@1GamewithDave1 Dragon Warrior. 😂

What game is it?

Be kind, make friends, share your progress and make a good game with good intentions. I have made most of my wishlists from here on X via networking and by keeping people aware of the progress of Becoming Captain. I don't have much funds for ads so I rely on being human.

The duality of gamers..

@UnityCodeMonkey Back when I used Youtube as a source of information for game dev, I had a 2 year rule. Any video older than 2 years was ignored. Generally the game tools themselves change too much to use old tutorials. I've moved to AI now for queries as I get faster answers than through videos.

Do Tutorials get OUTDATED?

Half of the planned US data centers for 2026 are delayed or canceled. Only about one-third of the 12 gigawatts of new capacity is actually being built.

@Pirat_Nation AI is still a very useful tool, but it's not actually AI. It's not sentient. But our corporate overlords decided to go stupid for the tech and decided to destroy everything in the process of promoting it. AI would have been just fine running off our own models on our PCs.

After finding the time to go on a heavy writing spree, I've finished the vast majority of the writing for v0.040.  With that done, almost all the originally planned work is finished. keeperatthegate.itch.io/gatekeeper/dev…

Ayakamods (Nexus mod alternative) claims Nexus mods is contacting other modding server owners saying they will limit their support if servers promote any alternative modding host providers.

@Grummz Sounds like they want to maintain their effective monopoly.

This is crazy. NexusMods is going around threatening modders if they mention AyakaMods. All AyakaMods does is host what NexusMods will not because NexusMods is a censoring cluster-f.

It's not that people are falling out of love for gaming. It's the fact that studios aren't putting out quality titles anymore & developers showing outright contempt towards the gaming audience. It's also the fact that games are $70+ & developers pushing politics.

@Pirat_Nation I think this is going to be a harder sell just because of the target audience. Triple A is kept alive by the normie paypigs that have more money than time, while indie players have options. Many many options.

Nobody asked for this, and no one wants a subscription for indie games.

What game is this for you?🚀
