It’s so nice to feel at home on the internet again!
Follow me if you’d never get tired of seeing Nintendo/indie/board games in your timeline. I post about other stuff, but that’s the bulk of it.

Everywhere I got, from Reddit to my real life friends circle, I’m the anti-AI radical.
In Bluesky, in the one time I try to take a position that’s 1 degree away from “any use of AI is wrongness itself, it’s never good for anything, nor has it ever been or will ever be”, I’m suddenly a “centrist”.

I wish new singles and new albums would appear in different sections in Apple Music… I'm never interested in singles, only in albums.
(To me, singles are album previews, and I'd rather wait for the album in which they'll appear.)

“Tired of long days writing code?”
Well, try long days of wrestling with the plagiarism machine to get it to do anything close to what you had in mind, then twice as many long days of coding through everything it got wrong and can’t fix without breaking something else!

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.
I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

Something that makes me really uncomfortable in both board gaming and video gaming discussion spaces: the absolute free pass that impulsive and excessive consumerist behavior is tolerated, often even embraced.

Why do car games struggle so much, when gun games and sports games don’t? They’re all are part of the same cultural trifecta in the US.
The only really successful car games only get successful because they incorporate either guns (GTA) or sports (Rocket League)!
