Godot Engine suffering from lots of "AI slop" code submissions

Back to e-mail workflow, auto-close GH PRs. Might as well switch to SourceHut while they're at it.

Eh, I'd be happier just switching to DP. The 7600 I've got now has 3 DPs and 1 HDMI so I have to use DP anyway.

Oh hey, Calico, I've been meaning to check that out.

Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified
12 Feb 2026 at 1:01 pm UTC

Funny thing, I have Diablo 2 sitting on my shelf and just this week I reopened it for the first time in years and I was intrigued by the fact that the 3 CDs are all stacked on top of each other. I should probably rip them and store the ISOs on my backup external HDDs, but it's Diablo 2 so I don't really care.

Quoting: JarmerNow comes the fun part: waiting to see where are the game devs go for their communities.
Discord. They're gonna go to Discord. I would be amazed if any notable migration to another platform were to happen.

GOG did an AMA and here's some highlights - like how they'll continue using generative AI

So long as GOG keeps using AI I'm not gonna buy games from GOG.

So long as Valve doesn't shut down the CS skin trading, doesn't reduce their 30% cut (and stops doing the stupid 'the more you sell the less you have to pay' nonsense), and doesn't stop ('allegedly') pressuring publishers to sell their games at the same price on other stores; I'm not gonna buy games on Steam.

So long as Epic doesn't stop buying exclusives I'm not gonna buy games on Epic.

So long as Itch doesn't properly re-index adult games and doesn't stop withholding payments from creators I'm not gonna buy games on Itch.

That leaves... er... Zoom? I'm sure I can find some controversy there as well.

Every platform has its issues, but at least GOG has an anti-DRM stance, which immediately makes it way better than Steam or Epic. If your feelings really are that strong, at least switch to Itch or Zoom, but don't come here to complain about GOG using AI and then go and buy games on Steam, because you're just being a hypocrite at that point. And for those who complain about 'IP theft', you don't know that they didn't use something like Adobe Firefly. Just going 'AI -> IP theft' is a clear sign you have no idea what you're talking about and are just looking for an excuse to put GOG down (and indirectly advocate in favour of current copyright law, which is horrible and stupid and should be reformed).

Epic Games Store saw a 57% increase in purchases for third-party PC games in 2025

Quoting: scorp10n2000Why would anyone want to buy games on Un-Epic (shit)Store? 🤔

I only buy games on Steam and GOG.
Not on Itch? I know they've had their controversies around paying the devs/publishers, but I'd still consider them pretty decent.

Quoting: M@GOidThe biggest troll Valve could do is to launch it on march 3, together with HL3. But unfortunately is not gonna happen in today's situation.
Release on March 3rd, together with Half Life 3, which only runs on GNU/Linux. That'd be a troll move (though highly appreciated with our crowd).
