Oh hey, a new steam fest. Let's see if I have missed any interesting puzzle games lately...

Someone combined sudoku with metroidvania and the result is the best puzzle game of the 2025.

I don't even like sudoku, but this is absolutely amazing.

Note: it's really difficult and quite long, but well worth it if you like logic puzzles.

AHC043 happened while I was on vacations and I finally had time to revisit my solution.

During the contest I had greedy+(basic, but heavily tuned) SA, where state=order of stations, with very simple rail placement.

Turns out changing greedy -> BS (+DP) would be enough for 1st*

All this proves is what we all knew anyway: that competitive programming is just glorified copy-paste /s

For y'all that don't do programming contests

2700 is top200 in the world
1900 is top5000

Majority of people can get to 1900 within one year when dedicated. Many can get there in a few months.

Most people won't get to 2700 after a few years of training.

This is 3 months apart.

It looks that I have qualified for the AtCoder World Tour Final!

I haven't been to any onsite in a really long time (since they have disappeared post-covid), so I'm looking forward to it.

I'm happy that people are moving here from Twitter, but doing so over "I don't want AI training on my data" just shows your ignorance.

Something I will never understand about US politics:
Why is there no nationwide movement to abandon Electoral College and shift to a ranked voting system?
EC forces a 2-player game that only adds polarization, since shitting on your rival has the same value as promoting yourself.

Progress: 33/50

I've never expected that this will become my pick for GOTY, but it's not even close.

Hi Bluesky, I'm Psyho!

Few things about me:
- I've spent 20 years of my life in various fields of AI (including OpenAI before it was loved/hated)
- I believe, I'm the only person that made a living out of competitive programming
- My heart is in game design, though I'm yet to publish anything
