Just to spread the word, there's a spammer contacting previous IFComp entrants. (Not this year's entrants, but 2025 and going back at least to 2011.) Trying to drum up traffic for his "IF community" Discord server. Short AI-generated queries about each game, faking personal interest.

It’s unfortunate for us Summer People that summer is now just the intolerable temperature zone because as much as I WANT to be a Fall Person the daylight shrinking is killing me

What does it mean for the probability to be five percent? Well, that’s five percent. But six percent? Well, that’s still five percent. Four percent is also kind of five percent. Three percent is two percent. And two percent is basically impossible.

“It’s not pervert glasses, it’s a tiny fuzzy pervert you wear around your neck because you trapped him in a tiny pervert cage. It’s not weird. He likes the cage, if you know what I mean. Now come over here and let him have a good look at you.”

One of my favorite and most effective design patterns is "tell the player exactly what you're gonna do to them, then do it." You can be SIGNIFICANTLY meaner to the player if you simply tell them ahead of time that that's exactly what you'll be doing, and also the suspense of the warning is a delight

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

i have had multiple "oh you haven't heard about cumming in the fluffer?" conversations in the past few weeks which is not great for myself or for others

the xkcd average familiarity comic of two people talking, edited to read: "ai doomsday religions are second nature to us very online folk, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows about the harry potter sex cult and one or two aella cognitohazards" "and sankeys, of course" "of course" captioned below "even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field

if i am elected, restaurants will be required to post their actual in-store menu on their website and not just a link to a delivery service. the menu may be in the annoying format of their choice but it should be descriptive and it should list what it actually costs to get a thing at the restaurant.
