priv is up ig
not that it'll do much cause I've already had multiple crashouts & mental breaks on main go unchecked or even unnoticed so clearly nobody's seeing them anyways but, i suppose it's just cleaner to do it behind closed doors. I'll see if i use it fr

2 years on & the thrill of seeing LP back & better than ever with her, still one of the best feelings i get
red chilli spice- delicious, delectable, a zingy treat to the palate on top of a layered savory flavor profile
green chilli spice- disgusting, domineering, ruinous to the palate, instantly swallows & overpowers any interesting flavors, unpleasant hot stinging
@spinelessaisha i mean yea I get the word on its own has that undertone but there kinda isn't a better colloquial term for it. they're feeding off you & they know to target you for an easy boost because the flip side of the coin also implies you starving. unfortunately too apt of an analogy.
this is really the most insidious consequence. draw the lines wherever you want, but being this explosive about the smallest infraction doesn't encourage good behavior, only hiding bad behavior. especially if they believe it's small enough that they deserve to get away with it.
A unity engineer and the team couldn't solve a bug.
AI found a workaround.
Their disclosure of this has taken them from critical acclaim to review bombed.
This sends a message to all game devs that lying is now in your best interest.
I don't like AI, but i could overlook this.

The Underreported part of the Big Walk drama is that an apathetic or incompetent (or both) Unity employee told the devs that something wasn't possible, when it clearly was, which is a very Unity in 2026 thing to happen.
The worst part about this Big Walk thing is how this will unironically just cause every game dev to lie more. As someone working in the software development field i can say that 99.9% of the stuff you are currently playing/using has used AI during development. It's just
robbed 2 children of like 4k points & then the queue sent me to the fucking shadow realm of 7 god2/3's in a row i really need to fucking learn how to quit when I'm ahead
-Indie dev encounters issues at the end of their development cycle
-indie dev attempts to troubleshoot said issues
-indie dev consults the MANUFACTURER of their game engine, THEY can't solve their issues
-as a last-ditch effort to avoid shipping a game with a glitch they can't iron out, they spitball with an LLM
-surprisingly, LLM assists in workarounds that fix said issues
-despite not needing to disclose (per steam TOS), the dev is honest about their disclosure when nominated for awards to be transparent.
I would say House House did everything right. An LLM was used to solve problems humans could not. It didnt generate assets. It didnt infringe on the creative process.
I hate what AI, and particularly GenAI has done to the gaming industry, but this is a stupid fucking hill to die on. This isn't vibe coding. This isn't slop. This is what AI was SUPPOSED to do in industry.
Pick the right battles, people.
Unpopular opinion time, but anybody that actually codes and works in a development industry, and actually read this article, would agree this doesn’t matter at all.
Please stop punishing developers for using code assist tools… Punish them for generating music and art.
