I have the stupid and frustrating power of never being able to focus on anything unless it Annoys me

stayed up regrettably late last night solely because something broke in my code, and I didn't know how or why and my brain would not rest until it was resolved

both excited for/dreading another Path of Exile 2 season coming up soon because I know I'll be playing it way too much and also getting absolutely zero work done

The only way to not let being a hater destroy you is to be very sentimental and loving of those closest to you, there must be balance or otherwise you’re just The Tech Bastard

absolutely infuriating how much aesthetical theft is being done by AI losers for "witchy" or "gothic" vibes

a friend of mine just shared an artist, "Haus of Hecate", who claim to be a "real Covenant of witches whom
Practice Hekatean Magic" (direct quote)

I had to break the news to them: it's slop

What the hell happened to Z. Konketsuji? Scrubbed from the internet? I can't find their album The Patient Discovery anywhere over than a handful of scraps of leftover evidence that it once existed.

my friend draws cool elves and if you like their art then that makes you cool too, it's like a legal fact, ask your lawyer
it's been a while since I last posted any art, I guess I'm going to be posting some old pieces from the last few months. #pixelart #art #elves

Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

Personally, I’d pay for a button I can press that issues an increasingly strong electrical shock to whoever added the “try ai!” buttons to things I use

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

apologies in advance for the vagueposting:

I've had a handful of raw ideas and feelings floating around for a long time that I didn't really know what to do with, but now those thoughts have begun to coalesce into a more focused, material vision in a way that has me both excited and terrified

crazy how certain games are failing to disclose AI usage on their Steam store page, yet there are still people I know who refuse to believe that such a thing could happen

"They didn't use AI or else they would have to say so"

Ok, and yet here we are pal

"Samus, there's something interesting over there" feels like a... fundamental misunderstanding of the appeal of the genre this series helped create.

it's ok (in some genres! not all!) for players to not immediately intuit something, suck at it for a while, complain, etc. because that is the inherent cost of mastering a hard-to-learn skill. adding support for learning is always great, but don't sand off all the edges cuz someone stumbled a little

friday soapbox: as a designer, if you want something to be a skillful action for players, and you want growth in this skill to be very deep/meaningful, then you need to also let players be bad at it. sometimes horrendously bad. players hate this pain, and designers often want to mitigate it away.
