Walk around the neighborhood with a 2 year old in October and you can witness concept formation in real time. "Ok. We worship spiders, as a people. Ok."

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.

tragically, it's whining
When you produced Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell, you said at the time that you didn’t care if it succeeded or not, because you just wanted to make fun of Bruce Springsteen. If you produced an album in 2026 to make fun of an artist, who would be your target?
Taylor Swift, of course. There’s an argument to be made that she ruined music. It’s an understandable phenomenon. It’s just that, to me, Taylor Swift is the apotheosis of mediocrity. It’s the era of the female artists. The biggest artists in the world are female artists at this point, and that’s because of video games. Back in the ’90s, boys stopped spending money on music and started spending it on video games, and that left the music market with, “Well, where do we go here?” And they said, “Well, there’s all these young girls and they’ve got their allowances, too. Why don’t we start making music for young girls instead of Pearl Jam or something like that?”

So you got Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, P!nk, and many artists of that ilk. Lady Gaga, she’s a real musician. She’s a classically trained piano player. Taylor Swift doesn’t do anything particularly great except grow hair. She’s not a great singer. She’s not a great songwriter. She’s not a great dancer. She’s a role model for what was a very young generation of women, and now for those women’s daughters as well, because it’s mothers and daughters going to Taylor Swift shows.

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

i switched my own 3-years-in-dev unity project to godot a year ago. it was deranged and objectively incorrect, but it was also a lot of fun if you want to ship something, do the painful unity upgrades. if you want to enjoy yourself, go godot (but i think you already know this, ha)

someone posted in the other thread but - and this is far from the largest problem, but - the desktop ui for this is deeply deranged
An option to disable a single thing, which on mobile is presented as a toggle, is on desktop shown as a dropdown menu with a single item on it. Also, you have to enable that one item to disable the behavior. Naturally.

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.
