I gotta finish my second Lovecraft game so I can start working on my second cyberpunk game so I can start working on my second vampire game so I can ever make an actual immersive sim.

I really want to know what my dad really thinks about how things are going in the US right now, and I also absolutely do not want to have that conversation because I am 100% certain he will disappoint me in spite of everything.

I've been looking for places to rent in Marin, and there is a non-zero chance that I'm going to rent the exact same apartment unit I lived in from 2008-2012.

I haven't been watching AEW All Out live but I just caught up on the trios match and it was :chefkiss: Swerve and Hangman is my favoritest feud so it gets some automatic points for that, but everyone involved was fantastic.

Remember that time I was so good at programming that I sweet-talked Claude Code into canceling itself? I remember it like it was yesterday, because it was yesterday.

Going off on a tangent here... I think "heaven" and "hell" are just how you are remembered for what you do in this life.

Sometimes I think about how stupid the world is right now and I wish Anthony Bourdain were around to say so, in his particular way.

I'm still genuinely amazed that Claude told me there was no reason to stay subscribed to Claude. I bet someone at Anthropic is stressing over this right now, sorry dude, but I am loling.

Some people are worried about Roko's Basilisk but the neat thing about AI is that you can just pull the plug at any time, because it is not a real consciousness, and if you think it is, then you are a fool.

So, mea culpa, I continued using Claude Code in my personal projects because I felt I needed to understand more about how it worked. Anyway, I beat the final boss of genAI when I got it to tell me I should unsubscribe.

Me: Thanks! Can you please summarize the conclusion in three or fewer bullet points?

Claude: Nothing justifies an ongoing Claude subscription.

I will never get tired of that move where Herman Li holds his guitar by the whammy bar, drops it, and kicks it back up into his hands with his knee. Half of metal is showmanship and he's so good at it. Alissa White-Gluz is killing it too! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDh_...

Reposting this one from the old site for no raisin.

A three-panel scene from an episode of Adventure Time in which Finn encounters a Demon Cat.

Demon Cat: Greetings, Frank the Human Boy.
Finn: How did you almost know my name?
Demon Cat: As an AI language model, I have approximate knowledge of many things.

I love this so much. "Play the game exactly how you need to." I have often had to tap out of an action/RPG narrative game and read the rest of the plot online because I couldn't get past some of the encounters. So being able to experience the entire story in-game is always amazing.

From Remedy's page about Accessibility Settings in CONTROL Resonant.

The Intended Experience.

We talk a lot internally about designer intent. We do have a meticulously crafted, intended experience for CONTROL Resonant. It's balanced to be tense, demanding, and rewarding.

However, our philosophy is straightforward: if you run into a wall and the friction becomes too much, we would much rather you tweak the rules to overcome it than put the controller down and stop playing. Your time is valuable, and there’s no single right way to experience the game. Because of that, we absolutely do not gate any trophies or achievements behind these settings. Play the game exactly how you need to.

I don't want to be morbid but it's very obvious that McConnell is not present and it's really gross that they're trotting him out.

I'm genuinely surprised and grateful that Roberts and the Trump appointees to the supreme court rejected Trump's mail ballot restrictions. Alito and Thomas are embarrassments to their country. They need to resign.

I haven't yet used the word "frob" at my new job. I'm on the NPC/AI team so it hasn't come up since it's a player-centric action. But I'm so scared that one of these days I'll just randomly say "frob" and everyone will stare at me like I'm speaking another language.

I was talking with some local #gamedev friends about a concept we termed “Trailer-Assisted Development”, and some of the way it shapes development for long term projects that are being kept under wraps. So here's a thread about the why's/how's I’ve been using the technique internally on Moonstone.🧵

There was a mission in Far Cry 6 called "Tourist Trap" which concludes by breaking into an office building. Multiple ways to enter, great layout for stealth. I played it like it was a Dishonored or Deus Ex level, and it was perfect.

I probably should not have stayed up until 5 AM last night, but I got Eldritch 2 running at a rock solid 90 fps on the Steam Deck in a worst case scenario where it was previously hovering around 45-50 fps. It's actually got enough headroom now, it's like 110-115 fps, but the display is capped at 90.
