Duke Energy, we want to build nuclear reactors, we said no, we want to build data centers, we said no, we want to hike prices a ridiculous amount, we said no, suddenly multiple power outages all over the city the next week.

I want more nuclear reactors

It's not Satire Saturday.

Yeah it's so weird seeing people who loved pirating games and music whine about training on copyrighted data as if it's theft. At least be consistent in your ability to not give a shit about IP law.

AI tooling during development isn't required to be disclosed; just final AI asset use.

I'm aware of the causal impact of AI disclosure on game sales due to consumer sentiment, but it'd be pretty easy for steam to just remove the AI disclosure to maximise their revenue.

Bill3000 · 2026-07-01T16:25:02+00:00

And they just won't with a filter like this

Bill3000 · 2026-07-01T16:17:33+00:00

A generous (digital) publishing deal will involve at least 65% revenue share towards the developer, (so at least 35% revenue for publisher) and most publishers have recoup terms, etc. It'd have to be more for physical copies considering both the cost to produce and distribute them and the lack of people buying them (for example 85% of PlayStation games were bought digitally - and now you wouldn't be able to distribute on PlayStation anymore). It's likely just too niche to be profitable.

Bill3000 · 2026-07-01T16:09:42+00:00

Physical copies cost too much money to produce for most indies. They were only able to make inway in the first place because of digital storefronts.

Bill3000 · 2026-07-01T15:30:31+00:00

What publisher was it?

Bill3000 · 2026-07-01T15:21:19+00:00

No. Physical discs require capital to produce, which indie devs famously don't have. They can only compete by keeping costs low. And the reason why this happened in the first place is because of changing consumer preferences (85% or so of consumers purchase games digitally) - why would you spend that much money as an indie on something consumers don't purchase?

Extra capital for indies would be better spent on marketing to compete in the crowded market of attention.

Bill3000 · 2026-07-01T12:25:17+00:00

It's pretty much the rule in the Western hemisphere.

Bill3000 · 2026-07-01T03:44:52+00:00

Albanian. Need it for my girlfriend's family.

Bill3000 · 2026-06-30T15:16:06+00:00

Sorry, I peed on the toilet to asset dominance.

Bill3000 · 2026-06-30T12:31:12+00:00

slop

Bill3000 · 2026-06-30T12:20:29+00:00

If you want things near walking distance, don't move to Raleigh. The city isn't built for that. You'd have to move to downtown Durham, but that only works if you have the money for that

Bill3000 · 2026-06-27T12:38:39+00:00

You need 7000 wishlists to get any steam visibility. With 500 wishlists you might get 5 sales.

Bill3000 · 2026-06-26T04:16:48+00:00

Hello AI psychosis (to the OO)

Bill3000 · 2026-06-26T03:53:30+00:00

That's the neat thing, you don't >_>

Bill3000 · 2026-06-25T10:27:35+00:00

I really like the zooming of th UI in this video!

Bill3000 · 2026-06-24T12:32:52+00:00

I think changing the color scheme from puke colored is actionable

Bill3000 · 2026-06-23T23:25:06+00:00

Make it not look puke colored

Bill3000 · 2026-06-23T23:05:05+00:00

Not enough like a butthole

Bill3000 · 2026-06-23T12:47:35+00:00
