Here's my pitch for a modern day sequel to the Gex games. Gex is too old to do platforming and now has to act as guide to his zoomer kids to help them rescue his kidnapped wife and is constantly in existential terror that no one remembers any of his 90's TV references #gamepitches #gex #n64

I largely do not know how post discovery is supposed to actually work here. I largely think it doesn't, in general.

User discovery would come from a tagging and fact checking system with vetted subject matter experts weighing in on posts and tagging them.

Here's how my ideal social media would work: I'd like to assemble my own feeds and put users in them. If someone's good at a certain topic, I'd like to put them in that topic so I'm hearing their work on that topic and nothing else.

After having bsky for a while and just browsing it occasionally, I'm just going to say straight up I dislike the starterpacks and feeds. Thoughts in thread.

There seems to be a new genre of horror/survival #minecraft mod where the world is succumbing to a parasite or disease that's evolving and taking over biomes. I'd say this is a reaction to covid and fears of next pandemic, but I think it's related to climate anxiety as well.

had to learn typescript and react in a weekend for something. Despite hating frontend before this, I've been finding working with it really enjoyable. TS is still javascript but it has really good type inference and making new crazy new types on the fly is a lot of fun. React's fun too.

Trying to do game dev and the biggest thing learned is that game dev is hard. It takes a lot of work to set up even the most basic things. Hooking up references and signals on top of knowing if you imported the art correctly and setting up all the resources everything is a lot to do.

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to those who celebrate.

I guess it's time for an intro. I'm UFO Ranch. I like a lot of podcasts, mostly in the educational vein (Though I do like Last Podcast a lot). Aspiring Game Dev learning Godot. Trying to get into the software industry, might share code here. Former mathematics academic, teach math on the side.

I'm supposed to make an intro post with my interests I guess but could anyone blame me for not feeling it right now.
