I'm Steve, a 37yo programmer in Seattle.
By day I build iOS apps (currently Kickstarter, previously Tumblr and Teams). By night I make VTuber merch with my partner at DokiDreamers.com.
I also do 3D modeling/printing, woodworking, synthesizers, and FFXIV and sim games!

Silksong is quite slow and boring for its first couple hours, but I will give it credit, it is far nicer to look at than its predecessor.

RuneScape guides are funny beacuse they all say stuff like "getting the Falador Hard achievement diary is vital to beating the Giant Mole" so you look up the Falador Hard achievement diary and one of the steps on it is "beat the Giant Mole"

I think a lot of the discussion around AI isn't specific enough or informed enough, and that's why this piece from @edmondtran.bsky.social is so useful and important. These are actual concept artists spelling out in clear, unambiguous terms why Gen-AI is not only unhelpful, it's a nuisance.
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Don't let people enjoy things. If someone enjoys something you don't, they're wrong. Also you're wrong for thinking they're wrong. Also the thing itself is wrong. Everyone go to jail

I guess I can finally tell people that I'm writing on Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, the spiritual successor to my childhood.
I want to say something clever right now, but my heart's in my stomach and my words are slowly floating into the darkness of space.

Our kitchen sink water filter started leaking, so we got a plumber here fixing stuff. Blessing in disguise, as he's replacing our demon water faucet too.
Never buy Moen MotionSense. It fails incredibly stupidly.

AI hucksters crave the legitimacy of being treated like what they do is comparable to actually doing work. They fundamentally understand they're doing something inferior, so they lie to hide that their output is AI, and then try to assert and convince you it's real work when you point out the slop.
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

Artists always say "you don't need generative AI, pick up a pencil and learn to draw". And turns out they're right and it's fun as hell, even if you suck because you're a beginner. Way more satisfying than ComfyUI. Glad I can contribute to my oshis' art tags.

What happens when your team faces Miami in a final and doesn't have Paul Rothrock
Miami wins MLS Cup, 3-1 over Vancouver. De Paul with the game winner, Allende with the nail in the coffin. And Messi finally gets to raise the Philip Anschutz Trophy.
That's a wrap for 2025. And at least here in Seattle, we'll always, always, have this amazing day... youtu.be/UMWvsuJK1U0?...
