"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

We had a house with cloth wiring in places, on the same circuit with modern wiring...

I have to say I could really feel the emotion from the keys. The emotion was very clearly apathy.

It's so easy! We started introducing themes of consent casually when our sons were very small, so when it came time to actually talk about it it was natural.

I think I'm most interested to see the things that come alongside the announced vanilla updates. What are actual mechanics behind icicles, what can we do with them, what little things get added to make it all work

Ok... So this is definitely a fuzzy area because people want cake for breakfast, but... Normally muffins and cakes are mixed differently. Cakes also tend to have more sugar, but the mixing difference makes a big difference...

This has got my brain way too deep into technical thoughts for having just woken up. I knew checking bluesky before coffee was a bad idea!

It would be wonderful if we could stop framing games as studio versus studio. All developers care about all games. I've never once heard a developer talk about another in this way. Most are simply glad to be doing what they love, while watching others do the same.

20 years ago I went to school to learn to bake croissants and pâte à choux. Now I'm in school to learn how to bake lights and axis conversions.

I just sent the first super-early build of the game I've been building over the summer to a couple of friends for a first playtest. There are zero stakes here, why am I nervous! Lol
