catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 02/10/2025I'm really bummed at how much time I have spent, this year, not developing games. I hope all this time spent doing other stuff will have been worth it. 000
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 25/09/2025If I ask "what kind of soups do you have?" and they respond with "[...], chili, [...]", I think that's perfectly appropriate, and I'd be frustrated if they left it out on some technicality. But chili is no more soup than oatmeal is. 000
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 20/09/2025Ah, neat! Never got to see the genesis of a "doom on x" implementation before. Nothing left but the countdown, now. 010
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 17/09/2025lol "I know more about AI than other devs because they won't intrude on topics with irrelevant technicalities that don't change the resolution of the discussion." classic! 😂 000
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 17/09/2025It's wild to see someone with her bio out here "all lives matter"/"not all men"-ing for AI without a shred of self awareness about it. 120
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 17/09/2025Thank you! I've worked in AI long enough to know this contrarian is full of shit, but I was having a hard time repling while my eyes were rolling entirely out of my head at all of the "um, actually"s. I wish these people would grow up. There's technicality, and then there's pettyfogging. 2110

catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 26/08/2025As a dev that would very much like to add server-syncing to my local-first apps, but collect as little personal data as possible, this seems like a godsend. Planned to roll up my sleeves and wade in to atproto dev, but this seems to cover all of the stuff I was most worried about! Awesome work! 020

catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 16/08/2025I wish chronic and painful ill upon jk rowling, every day. if @bsky.app doesn't figure out how to get the account re-instated within a week, I'm out of here. If you promise decentralization, but still have the power to ostracize people I want to see, what you promised is worthless. grow the fuck up 010
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 14/08/2025I think a cool idea for an alien movie would be for a type of alien that easily fucks up humans, but is woefully unprepared for other kinds of earth life, so that the story takes place in a world where the aliens are a threat, but the megafauna they've allowed to thrive are a much bigger threat. 000

catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 11/08/2025As an example, look at marvel- early movies had clear hooks for each movie, newer movies are OVERFLOWING with hooks. It's so many that mass audiences just tune out. They'll watch "person becomes superhero", but they care less about "so and so fights such and such" and "every character is there!" 110
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 11/08/2025You CAN write multiple hooks, and that can work, but there are diminishing returns with marketing. Muddying the water can be just as bad as saying nothing. I empathize with how frustrating it is, but if you can't describe a hook, or the hook is too niche, you won't make sales. Simple as. 120
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 11/08/2025The "hook" advice is not about limiting anyone or changing your game. It's marketing advice and it is as absolute a fact as they come. It means "your game should be explainable in a way that gets people excited". If you can't describe it that way, how would anyone else (like your marketing)? 110

catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 01/08/2025I write JS like C# and it's literally so 1 to 1 that I can port it from one to the other with regex. If anything, CSS is the real horror story of the web platform. But I love CSS more than any other UI solution. Followed closely by DearImgui. 010

catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 28/07/2025Can't count the amount of "sorry it's been a while since my last update, but..." I've deleted. Turns out, no one has ever needed to read that and so no one ever needs to write it! I'm clearly egotistical enough to think it and even write it out. Only just barely enough awareness to hastily drop it. 000
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 28/07/2025As someone with a dispassionate eye on the heat death of the universe as our inevitable fate, it would be a great honor to be remembered not as I was, but as an inaccuracy that has infinite practical use. Would serve as a fantastic contrast to the short, pointless[complementary] life I'll occupy. 010
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 17/07/2025This is my favorite framing even for just a billion dollars. "Would you consider yourself rich, if I gave you a thousand dollars every single day of your life?" "What if I started when Jesus was born? Do you think any human should have that much money?" "Okay, that's not even ONE billion dollars." 000

catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 03/07/2025A related thought: I've been telling anyone who would listen that productivity software should act like games. Games already did the hard part - making an intuitive/fun/straightforward UX. Let me export the city I make in Cities: Skylines. Make a character modeller work like a character creator. etc 010
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 02/07/2025"Kill it, if you have to." And then they undid that movie and kept right on making 'hey, remember this!?' spinoffs. I empathize with your frustration but I can think of no deafer ears for it to fall on than those on the mouse cap. 020

catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I'm surprised that you needed correction in the anchor spawning step, as I assumed that a pedestrian graph would cover the needs for that! Interesting to see how your design offers some flexibility there! 110
catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 30/06/2025This is so awesome! I've been working on something like this, but I started from the opposite end with advanced schedules and tasks that LOD down to probabilities when you're far enough away. I never thought I could actually track 1m entities in real time! I'm so glad that you've proven me wrong! 110

catapart @catapart.bsky.social · 31/05/2025Is there a sci fi set a few thousand years after humans have colonized galaxies and the protagonists who look like modern day humans deal with ancestor species of humans that have adapted to non-earth planet conditions like heavy gravity or breathable oceans or whatever?
