I was thinking the same thing. It might be so it gets to people who blanket block all posts with ‘AI’ in them.

There exists an object for which it is true that it is either pulled tight or if it is not pulled tight then there exists an object for which if it is pulled tight then not all objects are pulled tight.

Please don’t leave. Take an Internet break maybe, but don’t leave.

You’re fertilizing the fields.

Hey, I’m a stranger, but thanks for the heads up that this might bother people. I’ve done it once without thinking much about it.

Throwing “live and learn” and a whole bag of unnamed platitudes your way! Seriously though, you might even use your leaving and reluctantly returning to make posts that funnel people to bluesky. Pop a few bubbles over there!

These are awesome!
What does the alphabet soup potion do?

The creative blocks were not the problem but the symptoms of something deeper that I’m glad I didn’t just brute force my way through with AI. It’s a matter of personal alignment just like with your example of how you feel about monarchy. AI will try to align you with the least common denominator.

Thanks for sharing your story. I’m not a writer but I’ve been making board games since I was 8 with notebooks full of half baked ideas that haven’t gone anywhere (never finished a game). When chatGPT made its public debut, I shared some designs with it. I quickly realized it wasn’t going to help.

I give myself the “to what end?” self talk a lot. I’m also almost 40. It’s possible to believe that things will work out for some happy ending and all the creative endeavors teach you something along the way, but at this age it might be more helpful to see your creativity as just for you, right now.

You can’t eat street cred. Taking care of your family and business comes first. Also, people who love your work are going to know the things you stand for regardless of platform.

Please replace those batteries if you haven’t already. Cleaning out battery acid sucks.
And awesome on getting it back in your hands after all these years! I play mine almost daily after getting a flash cart a few years ago.
