I did it! I made a video game. Introducing Star Captain 32767, a retro-arcade shooter with rogue-lite elements, inspired by games like Galaga and 10000000. The game is free, but if you enjoy it I would really appreciate a small donation!

Here's an interesting summery of the 2025 Copyright Office guide to Generative AI and Game Development. If you make games this applies to you and your competition now.
Honestly pretty mixed feelings... seems like there's good news and bad news for creatives here.

There's something magical about the instant camaraderie when you're struggling to learn a second language, and you meet someone fluent who's struggling to learn your first language, and you just chat like happy brain damaged children for a while.

Trying out my Japanese with restaurant server. Going well.
Him: How long are you staying in Japan?
Me: About one month.
Him: Really?!
Me: Yeah!
He stops speaking to me.
8 hours later: Oh wait shit I said I'm staying for one hour. 🤦
