Like what are we even doing here? Why are IF Comp and $109 Adventure Game Challenge allowing AI slop in their competitions? Doesn’t that defeat the whole point? I don’t think any game jam or competition should allow AI art. I have a billion other reasons why I’m against using that stuff to make games […]| The Virtual Moose

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these but Bluesky suspending accounts over the mildest posts reminded me that blogs and personal websites are good and should have more attention, so here’s some posts I liked. Since it’s been a while and I kinda of a backlog on my rss feed reader, there’s some older posts in here and other things not on here just because I haven’t read them yet. Anyway, if you like any of these blogs then consider adding them to your RSS feed reader!| virtualmoose.org

Some of my favorite games are French DOS games and include: Alone in […]| The Virtual Moose

This week it would mean a lot to me if you could support the GoFundMe for Roberta Vaughan. She is going through a horrific medical crisis right now and any support, no matter the size, would help her family. She’s done so much for many other folks in the adventure game community and it’s time for all of us to do what we can to help.| The Virtual Moose
