Reason I think this is neat is that there's provably unexplored space left to check out. It's cool if you want to make a roguelike deckbuilder but you absolutely do not have to.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

If you're doing 2D game dev in Unity or Godot, at some point you're going to hear a little voice in your head saying "you know, I bet I could save myself the trouble of having to code a lot of really fiddly edge cases if I just make this thing a physics object". That voice is the Devil talking.

My investor told me he doesn't really see the moat in my plan. I explained that's the point. The glacis protects the base of the wall and obscures the ditch entirely. By the time the assault party reaches the counterscarp with fascines, they will be committed and under crossfire from grapeshot

Inevitably the danger of hiring developers on your game is the obstacle courses. Staff on a project will create more at a rapid pace, tens or hundreds of obstacle courses a day, and who is implementing all these? No one. The programmers are too busy making obstacle courses. An unsolvable dilemma

Bro! Bro. If you're not upping your game with AI by learning how to jump motorcycles over a flaming glass pit for your military base assault, you're gonna get left behind and replaced by someone else who falls into the pit and dies, bro.
“We saw in a movie how motorcycles can jump over bridges,” a former Boko Haram commander told Antonia Juelich, a terrorism and technology researcher at Cambridge University. “We used A.I. to learn how to do this. We gave it information, like what motorcycles we use and the distance we need to jump and so on, and it gave us steps on what we have to do.”

Using tips from chatbots, mechanics modified the motorcycles to allow for faster acceleration and top speed. The riders dug their own holes, filled them with broken glass and fire, and practiced jumps — sometimes with fatal outcomes — until they achieved enough aerial liftoff to mount a successful attack, defectors said.

Last time I was at Costco, I was thinking of picking up some Indian flatbread. The trouble is, I don’t eat as much as I used to, and the thought of it going bad and needing to be turned into fertilizer drives me crazy. That’s right - I’m naan compost mentis
