my games are still on sale on itch and steam for the next 3 days. we're struggling to reach the end of kitsune tails development (a mario-like platformer with a very gay story) without running out of money, so any support would be greatly appreciated

Here’s a clear example of how aggressive the image processing has become on newer iPhones. This is a comparison between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 11 Pro Max, taking photos of distant text at equal magnification. Note how the 15 Pro Max’s image pipeline has made up all the details.

EDIT: I’m going to drop mentions of “AI” and “hallucinating” here because I think it’s conjuring up the wrong mental models in readers’ heads. What’s likely happening is over-eager noise reduction and sharpening (which may or may not have pattern matching) creating details where none exist. Every phone does some amount of NR and sharpening, but later iPhones are super aggressive in this regard, so much so that the results often depart from what we accept as “reality”.

Make no mistake, forced RTO is just a soft layoff. The AAA games industry is an absolute mess.

The new 4.2.8 release is out today. It's a small update that introduces a mechanic that will automatically switch sign-ups to manual review if no moderators have been active for a while. This should reduce vectors for spam and abuse in the future.

“Mad Professor Mariarti” on the Amiga has perhaps the best anti-piracy measure ever devised: a promise by one of the devs to break your legs should you steal the game

Hey y’all! Just got hit with an acute case of #layoffs. My entire team at Okta was laid off (including yours truly), and a few sibling teams were sacked as well; dozens of people I used to work with, gone in a day. Still processing it all.

If you know of a good company looking for a solid Software Engineer (Node, JS/TS, Tailwind, edge, k8s, CI/CD, you name it), please let me know.

Boost if you can, please.

the beauty of the fediverse is that there is no one right way to do it, yet somehow we are also all doing it wrong

eniko, 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) to random

oh hey my games are on deep discount on itch.io, and we still need all the financial help we can get in order to stay housed and fed until we can get kitsune tails out next year so buying them would be a huge help: https://eniko.itch.io/

they're also on sale on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/15673/Kitsune_Games_Complete_Pack/

This Original Game Boy recreation of the Tetris Grand Master series just got posted in the Analogue Pocket discord and… this is good. This is very good. Looks good in GBC mode, too.

It runs a little slower than the TGMs I've played, so the speed ramp up is a little easier to ride. ROM linked in the readme. https://github.com/Villadelfia/dmgtris

Casio Loopy emulation has been added to MAME (though no sound or printer support just yet). All games are working except for the Magical Shop add-on.

Check it out in MAME 0.260 later this month, or compile your own MAME from https://github.com/mamedev/mame.

Today's gamedev protip from someone totally unqualified to be giving such things is this:

Kanban boards and task lists are all well and good, but leaving a very specific next step for your future self at the end of each session makes it a lot quicker to get started next time.
