I'm live on Twitch! Today I'll be playing the highly anticipated Mina the Hollower, from the creators of Shovel Knight! This one is really promising, do you wanna come take a quick look before trying it yourself? c: twitch.tv/rickfernello

When the dev who made Spelunky makes a post, and the dev who made Celeste reposts it- it must be good advice

In case you're wondering why I haven't published my latest video... you can thank @DistroKid for STILL not white-listing my channel from MY OWN MUSIC despite asking them to fix it for MONTHS. After 6 months of work, I'm sorry, but I need the ad revenue to make a living.

It's 2026 and your CEO just sent you a 2,400 line pull request. You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it. It's a disaster. A dozen unrelated refactors. Unused methods with names like `convertFromBase10` and `normalizeBeforeSerialization`. You catch a few hardcoded API keys, but that's ok. It's part of the dance. They didn't consider that someone might look at this diff. Here's a comment buddy. They respond in an hour (after Copilot, qodo, CodeRabbit and Greptile finish their reviews) saying we shouldn't worry about "implementation details" anymore, those are relics of the past. Hey let's jump into a room and figure it out. We can't just agree to disagree, this is probably my last job in tech and I can't watch this fucker burn the place to the ground. The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of apathy and dread with Hannah the intern (she has to review his AI generated social media posts ever since Grok got too imaginative). That night you go to sleep and have nightmares of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids. You go to work the next day ready to quit. You no longer understand the system. There is no foundation. Time to use those savings and an SBA loan to buy a liquor store and never login to GitHub again.
It’s 2018 and your coworker just sent you a 400 line pull request. You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it. It’s beautiful. Elegant micro-refactors. Crispy method names. You catch a few things, but that’s ok. It’s part of the dance. They didn’t consider extensibility on part of their API. Here’s a comment buddy. They respond in an hour saying they think we should do one piece differently than your comment. Hey let’s jump into a room and figure it out. We can’t just agree to disagree, this code is too important. The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment. That night you go to sleep and dream of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids, your IDE syntax highlighting sparking neurons in your reptile brain. You go to work the next day ready to go. You understand the system. N is your foundation. Time to build n 1.

It's interesting seeing the industry double down on proving just how badly end of life plans are needed for games. This is exactly the sort of thing #StopKillingGames wants regulators / MEPs to see. Customers increasingly have no protections when it comes to video games.
PlayStation support has confirmed that a new digital rights management policy for the console is intentional, not a glitch. Starting with any digital games purchased after the March 2026 system update, your PS5 will require an internet connection at least once every 30 days to validate the license. If the console stays offline longer than that, the games simply will not launch until you reconnect. This change does not affect any titles already in your library. Setting a console as your primary system also will not bypass the monthly check-in.

People really saying “just connect to the internet not a big deal” my brother in Christ that’s not the point. God forbid a natural disaster happens or you can’t pay your WiFi bill one month and just can’t play games you PAID for until you reconnect. It doesn’t matter if you have internet, it’s a matter of principle. You shouldn’t be okay with PS arbitrarily taking away access to games you spent your hard earned money on. The more comfortable you get with this the worse it will get. We’re frogs in the pot and they’re slowly raising the heat and some of yall aren’t noticing.
Un usuario contactó con el soporte de PlayStation y le confirmaron que el tema del DRM es intencional, no un error. En resumen: los juegos digitales comprados recientemente requieren que la consola se conecte a Internet al menos una vez al mes.

Mr. Titus Tech is correct. cpuid-dot-com is indeed delivering malware right now. As I began poking this with I stick I discovered this is not your typical run-of-the-mill malware. This malware is deeply trojanized, distributes from a compromised domain (cpuid-dot-com), performs file masquerading, is multi-staged, operates (almost) entirely in-memory, and uses some interesting methods to evade EDRs and/or AVs such as proxying NTDLL functionality from a .NET assembly. The C2 domain present in one of the binaries is a clear IoC. This is the same Threat Group who was masquerading FileZilla in early March, 2026. They've been busy.
HWInfo and CPU-Z both compromised. Millions about to be PWNED! CPU Z: hybrid-analysis.com/sample/e… HW Monitor: hybrid-analysis.com/sample/4…
Community note
The post mentions HWInfo, but the link is for HWMonitor. These are different tools from different developers. HWInfo is unaffected. CPU-Z and HWMonitor from cpuid.com are compromised with malware. igorslab.de/en/warning-cpu… reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace… hwinfo.com/forum/threads/…

Here's the exact page to find new game assets on @itchio without AI, if you still find something that's obviously made with AI you can report it and it'll get removed or adjusted! itch.io/game-assets/newest/t…

Also, LUNARK is human-made, frame by frame. No AI involved, just pure dedication and love for the craft. 🥰
No double jumps, no hand-holding, just pure, methodical platforming in a gorgeous sci-fi world. 🌙 My love letter to the cinematic platformer of the 90s #LUNARK is $3.99, its lowest price ever (80% OFF!). (Check this out @Wario64 😘!) #LinkBelow #SteamSpringSale #PleaseRT

I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more. These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.
We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.
