I've never had many opportunities to get range time with long arms (I've had a few years of tactical training with pistols but never rifles).

Well call me Dr. Ay-Kay M.D., surgeon with a Type-56.

Nothing between me and him, and five feet of open air.

Both of us are moisturized, hydrated and staying in our lane.

Idk how your day is going but we got double parked by a lion.

A sentence I did not anticipate writ...

Ok yes he licked the headlights, I touched the saliva and put it in my mouth.

Two sentences.

Hello I might be slow to respond to my emails because I am currently road tripping in South Africa to see turtles, lions and monkeys. If you need to reach me, send photos of animals.

I call from the depths of hell a merciless onyx-eyed killing machine.

For eons it has only known destruction, and today, disappointment.

I realized I am too dumb to figure out how to build our frontend, and just dumb enough to build CLI frontends for each of our modules.

Rich CLI facilitates my stupid with:
- 'Live' multi-console
- stateless (running off FastAPI server)
- async message handling
- pretty colors/widgets

Checkmate you egg-head dog loving nerds.

My game dev biker gang grew by +1 now it's time to make a move on the local MC and start denying healthcare to insurance CEOs.

There are two wolves within (on) me.
November 22, 2024 at 10:42 PM
Idk which other devs ride but I think you all should start so we can make a biker gang.

Anyway, this is my bike, the sole pillar of my sanity.

Taking a break from destroying everything in our house, terrorizing her brother, swearing at passing helicopters, and... taking a shit specifically outside her litter box whilst assertively holding eye-contact with her pleading, exhausted, parents.

If you want to make lots of friends at tech conventions, go around asking AI start-up companies:

💘 if they build their own AI, or if they are 'powered by AI'
🤸‍♀️ if they inject prompts to pretend to be expert systems
🦋 if they use Langchain/CrewAI/LlamaIndex

I promise you will make friends.

yeah seriously, I don't like those odds.

To battle!

We data-mined/analyzed 1.2m game development tweets, 183,000+ store pages, built our own ML/NN models, platforms, data-miners, AI architectures, fundamental domain research etc.

We build everything internal and custom; we only care about reducing barriers for funding and making sustainable games.
October 21, 2024 at 9:29 PM
Over the past 3 years we have been researching games, building analytics systems and quietly helping developers, publishers and platforms with decision support for design/funding.

We present findings and evidence, not our experience, preferences or gut-feelings.

It's been hard but going well!
October 21, 2024 at 9:15 PM
Hello, I am Emre, co-founder at GYLD. We get money for developers for their games. In 3 years we've closed $60m for 30+ studios.

We are not scouts, we are rangers.

I'll share our findings and info here to help people. If you know us or seen my talks, you know we have some ok tech and research.

This is a 'tarot' reader I built in like 2 minutes using a team to hunt down everything about me. Their goal was to make a convincing tarot reading about me using my beliefs, goals, ambitions etc.

They found all my talks, history etc.

What if I changed 'tarot reading' as a goal to something else?
October 20, 2024 at 10:12 PM
I had demos of prototypes I built for research, like this:

- Agent team has access to internet, clinical papers, recursive thought, code writing.

- Also connected to analytics/ML (all this is our normal internal game eval architecture).

- I told them to design new dark patterns and make them.
