god space invaders extreme 2 is a fun thing to watch, it's such an audio-visual overload and i love it (from www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBFA...)

i remember as a little girl i would sit on the verandah with a cup of tea--rooibos, they wouldn't let me near caffeine yet--as my father and i watched the PREVIEW text which had covered the ground in the course of the day recede from view when god pressed Build Lighting and forgot to uncheck the box

every time ive ever built my lighting ive always wished i had the guts, the strength of soul to incur a 20+ times penalty in build length so that i could watch as the PREVIEW text thaws gently off of my geometry

Earlier this year Freeplay announced that 2026 might be their last year of operation. I've spent the last few weeks talking to people in and around Freeplay about this point in its history regarding how its changed, its relationship to funding and what it might look like in the future.

we literally root for charlie brown every step of the way, he is the main character the show has told us to love. he is who we want to see win. and then when lucy pulls the football away, the show is telling us it does not respect our time as a viewer.

why hire an editor when you can use an llm? why build high speed rail when you can drive? why document your software when the user can use an llm? why have good orbital travel when people can use cars?

avery @crestofthebeast.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

i loooove using this metaphor. i also find it instructive for talking about how llms can be extremely 'wide use' in the same way cars are, and similarly how building infrastructure around this 'do-all' thing can choke out improvement of better more focused solutions

Many people don't understand probability very well and many of them are resistant to having it explained to them. This leads some designers to creating mechanics that work like the player's instinctive (read: fucking wrong) understanding of probability, further confusing everyone.

re: the book metaphorisation here, i feel urged to bring up sylvie's post on making games 'booklike': bsky.app/profile/sylv... perhaps a 'ludic dictionary' might look particularly like fighting game training modes/trials, very small trainable bits of skill you can take into the 'real' game

this is a hugeeee drum i'm constantly banging. in the same way a swords length, weight, edge dictates how how you fight with it, the controller for a game changes how you interface it and modulates the embodied experience of play
