This is the guy who sits around talking to a bunch of AI all day instead of people right? The guy who gets a podcast AI transcribed and then talks to AI about it? The one who shoved AI into NOTEPAD?

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

I was reminded out of the blue about an anime I loved and don't really remember at all. So I bought a Blu ray set and now it's time to watch paranoia agent with my partner.
RIP Satoshi Kon, he was my favorite and died way too young. Great weird stuff.

This is a very good thing and if my game is very successful I should do the same for pygame.
I kind of hope that my game will help prove pygame is better and faster than people think anyway.

We have many examples of wildly successful humans that continue to support open-source tools but our society is rigged around the assholes that want all the money and power for themselves 🙄
Anyways, here's a nice example in our beloved ConcernedApe

I'm rewatching Firefly and thinking about how much it must suck for all these people to pour all this time and effort into making a beautiful work of art, to have it canceled by some executive who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.
Basically this is why I don't really want a publisher.

I hate chairs, always have. They're extremely uncomfortable to me.
I posted that I like to do my game dev sitting on the floor on a Snorlax bean bag and for some reason this made multiple people mad??
What is wrong with people that they get mad over how someone else likes to sit in their own home?

Indie game devs, what percentage of content roughly do you include in your demo? Do you carry over progress? Do you even have the story completed when you make it?

Still traveling, so have a video I took yesterday of a very old build of my game running in a virtual machine with a whopping 16 MB of VRAM.
Low spec gaming baby.

Here's an example I just took. This is a year old build, but running on a virtual machine with 16 MB of VRAM.
It's a little choppy (it wasn't before I increased the window scale for this video) but mostly runs just fine despite being on a crappy VM.

Sheesh Uber is scamming these days. I had my JFK flight canceled so I had to go through Newark, then that was moved to 4:30 am so I had to take a car instead of a bus.
Uber quoted me 68 bucks then charged me 96. Then claimed it was tolls, and a few buttons in help they reduced to 70.
Wtf?

I like how with humans pupils expand or shrink based on the amount of light present but with cats it's based on the amount of crimes they have prepared.

I'm glad I'm making my game to run on anything (no GPU required at all), since it doesn't appear anyone is going to be able to afford gaming computers any more.
[Newsis] Consumer GPUs to increase in price next year. RTX 5090 to increase from $2000 to $5000

Today is my birthday, and I am 35. As with many of my birthdays, I'll spend this evening flying bc it's a cheap day to fly.
I'd like people to share and/or wishlist my game, and if it seems interesting to you wishlist it (the description has so much info).
Alternatively boop your kitty for me.

Software update in the 2000s: Fine, it's probably pretty important
Software update in the 2010s: Ugh again? Whatever fine.

Indie game devs, I have seen enough screenshots. Show me your game's resource usage when it's doing stuff. Yeah you're great at drawing but what sickos like me really want to see is that CPU usage.
This is mine. A huge spike when it opens bc the IDE is a resource hog, then <10% and like 2% memory.

This game that is a remake, and a remake of the 4th game in a franchise, is definitely based on a game that came out this year.
I really hate how games media handles anything out of China: www.thegamer.com/clair-obscur...
We're getting a gorgeous remake of one of their best RPGs ever, but the clown does zero research about it and just goes "I'm getting a lot of Boss Baby vibes from this..."

Okay we have the actual pack art in the card opening instead of a random pack of Pokemon cards, so now I should be able to upload a video of the card opening to Steam.
And yes you can click a bunch and skip through all of it.
I love this screen so much, it was so fun to make.

Sometimes I wonder if I spend too much time on minute details on my game.
Then I watch my buddy moony start the new Pokemon game and spend 20 minutes obsessively looking at every single background poster in the game.
And I'm like damn if anything I'm not spending enough time.

This morning I am reposting this art because it didn't get seen enough yesterday. I don't know why bluesky kept refusing to show it to anyone in the half dozen times I posted it.
But hey, look at this pack art! Now I can put a pack screen video or gif on steam I guess.

Here is the Morowa dziewica/Plague Maiden but with the actual text as more actual pack art.
I might change it some more though. Also I can't put the number of cards because the player can change it, and I ain't making dynamic labels just for that.

Me considering making a trans character:
Twitter: *Nazi screeching*
Steam: This is woke, review bomb it
Bluesky: um you aren't trans so this isn't an authentic trans experience, hire a trans writer next time for one minor character on your small indie game
Actual trans people: hey awesome!

I think part of why indie game publisher contracts are so horrendous is because so many indie game devs are young and fresh out of school and willing to take horrible deals to try to make things work.
It ends up hurting all of us though in the end.

The pack art is mostly done, so now I can finally take out the temporary Pokemon pack art, after I put the text on.
This is Morowa dziewica, aka the Plague Maiden. She is an apparition of an older woman carrying a blood soaked handkerchief, and appears before a plague befalls a town.
