Googlebooks are so dumb they really should be working towards making a good "LapDock" experience work and having the software be compatible (and look nice!!!!) with it. there's utterly no reason why my phone that can run Cyberpunk 2077 can't also be a good workstation.

Competition, which is keenest in a period of crisis like the present, calls for the invention of an increasing number of new devices to reduce the cost of production. But the domination of capital converts all these devices into instruments for the further exploitation of the workers.

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with  those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

this doesn't matter obviously genres are fake but it seems funny that the new Castlevania is not a MetroidVania in the Castlevania sense, but in the Metroid sense.

and Castlevania only became about exploring rooms by the seventh game, Metroid had that shit day one.

dixego @dixego.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
spent my entire life thinking that "MetroidVania" was a category of game that came up because Metroid and Castlevania had a lot of things in common and only now realizing nope the only thing they have in common is being 2d games about exploring rooms.

and make no mistake: corposlop process management CRUDs and data processing pipelines make up 99% of all paid programming work in the known universe.

dixego @dixego.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
honestly I think it's a failure of our collective imagination that you still need programmers to build corposlop process management CRUDs and data processing pipelines. we should have no-code WYSIWYG platforms that product people can just use. but we have LLMs now so congrats.

dixego @dixego.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
code may be art but if you're trying to flex your artistic skills writing corposlop process management CRUDs it's your own fault if you end up going insane.

my ultimate thing about "is code art" is that code is art but especially on larger and more corporatized projects code is designed to be so standardized and interchangeable in a way that's largely incompatible with the way we talk about art in the same way that a soap opera is
