Wow, I see what you mean. That is a remarkably overloaded term.

That actually sounds similar to what we're doing in our game. If you press the roll button while standing still, it "counterattacks" any attack that hits you during the animation. I mostly like it for the boom sound it makes when you do it right. Our sound designer did a great job on that, I think.

"This game doesn't have parries! It just has perfect dodges with counters" You guys 😅 I think the word "parry" is one of the most loaded games terms at this point, people don't even know what it means anymore.

By the way, I noticed a typo on the product description, "[...] take on the roll of [...]". It should probably by "role", unless that's an intentional pun.

I tried to order a copy, but it looks like the checkout form only supports US addresses.

That's awesome! Congratulations on making your game a reality. I'd love to buy a copy if you're ever able to ship to the UK, or if you release a digital version of the cards.

By the way, I saw there were some YouTube comments talking about similar ideas, but I would love to see a horizontal scroll gesture to pan the spatial desktop left and right, in addition to being able to drag windows individually.

This was a great talk! Is there a part 1, or is "part 2" just part of the title?

Absolutely. That, and bypassing paywalls were two of the things that stuck out to me as evidence that AI companies don't care about copyright at all. We knew that anyway, but it's great to see it written down in a legal document with citations and everything. I hope they'll be held to account.

Anderbell Studios @anderbell.studio · 23/09/2026

After reading it, I feel a lot more confident in my ability to argue that "fair use" isn't a catch-all excuse for what AI companies are doing with people's work. Thanks for sharing this!

Anderbell Studios @anderbell.studio · 23/09/2026

The full document linked to in that article is really well-written. It's a great analysis of how OpenAI's behaviour pushes or blatantly transgresses the bounds of free use and undermines the goals of copyright.

We're going to need to have official documentation up on @ongakuoverdrive.com, but the short of it is if you are using GenAI in the creation, production, or promotion of your music or brand, we definitely cannot book or work with you. Video games and their music is a creative, HUMAN effort.

I've seen this kind of thing in the UK too, especially with mobile phone plans. The last thing the company wants is for you to leave them for some other company's introductory offer.

Strangely, it's back to "KO's" again now, both in the headline and in the meta tags sites like Bluesky are supposed to use for their preview cards.

It blows my mind that these fandom conventions that charge over a $100 just to get in and have an *artist alley* are using GenAI for their marketing materials. They all have the same-ish design and look like shit too.

It has to be stated plainly: They could do AI data centers and produce less pollution; but it would cost more. We were just starting to slightly curb pollution and now these companies are going to skyrocket it overnight so they can save a couple million dollars.

But generally, it looks pretty cool! I had screenshots showing each of these, but a Bluesky error wouldn't let me post this until I removed them. Let me know if anything's unclear.

The text contrast is a little low in some places, like between the linen-coloured navbar and the green text, and between the green backgrounds and white text. I recommend adjusting these using a contrast checker.

110

Anderbell Studios @anderbell.studio · 10/08/2026

Also, some general accessibility notes. Most or all of the images are missing alt text, which is fine for some decorative images, but not for images that are important for context (like the flower arrangements that are mentioned in the text.)

110

Anderbell Studios @anderbell.studio · 10/08/2026

(4) above the "Creatures of Darkness" heading, (5) below the last image on that page before the green section (see also the broken text situation to the right of that image), (6) above and below the text about the company name and (7) below the submit button on the contact form.

110

Anderbell Studios @anderbell.studio · 10/08/2026

I would also adjust the spacing in a few places, such as: (1) above the "Welcome" header text and between the text and the logo, (2) above and below the "Follow along" heading, (3) above and below the footer content (see also unnecessary icon wrapping on medium-sized screens),

110

Anderbell Studios @anderbell.studio · 10/08/2026

Make sure to test on all screen sizes. I would wrap the "Concept", "Prototype", etc. images as soon as there's not enough room for the text. The "Follow along" heading could also benefit from "text-wrap: balance". Bluesky doesn't want to upload images today so I can't show you, but trust me!

Endometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

Miro’s a wonderful tool, but my main worry is that we’ll somehow lose access to the level designs we’ve got stored on it, which represent years of work. Luckily, with this open-source exporter, we can store a local copy in case something goes wrong.

I’ve just found a really cool open-source tool for exporting Miro boards as SVG and JSON files. We use Miro for designing levels for the video game we’re developing. Most of Miro’s official export options require a paid plan, which we can’t afford since we’re an open-source project. #GameDev
