Lol, I am not paying to watch an ad on principle. 🏴‍☠️

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

They don't and this isn't even close to accurate. But you got a ton of experts in your comments telling you that and you (a non expert) are arguing with them.

All this is to say, I constantly have to beg product and design to understand that there needs to be some sort of solution for when text won't fit and they almost never give it to me. Which leads to things like this

So I make android apps for a living and it is so frustrating that all text can eventually be too big. iphones have it slightly easier cause there's a set number of phones, but for android there's just always some bonkers square phone used by someone who has their font size set to 600%

Man, this is by far the weirdest interaction I've ever had on the Internet. Have a good life man

Nah, I just don't waste my time arguing with overly aggressive people. Idk what your deal is but it's not my problem to solve.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I'm not getting into whatever this is. You said we are all arrogant due to the existence of ai. I pointed out that a lot of us detest ai. Have a good night man.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Lol yeah. This laptop is in rough shape so maybe that's all it is. If I get bored this weekend I'll maybe try reinstalling the os and see what that does

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I mean in general, stuff just isn't working. I couldn't even open Firefox without restarting it. The battery also drained to zero so I think it was probably trying to do something and struggling. Idk.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Lol what? I don't know what you mean at all. I was just making a point that I, along with almost every programmer I know, is very hesitant or even anti ai. I am sure some are not, but it's weird to lump us all together.

101

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I mean, I'm sure some think that but I am one and know a lot of them and none of us do.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I don't think it's this because I can click on other things. And uninstalling from the terminal, which requires 0 mouse at all, also just doesn't do anything. Pretty confident it's not pointer related at all and more just, the software is having issues running or uninstalling steam

110

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I mean maybe? If this is a common occurrence then I don't know it's worth it to me. But if I'm doing something silly or not understanding something about it then yeah.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I know Linux users have this reputation but like, I am good with computers I thought? Lol. I don't mind doing some tinkering but holy shit, this thing simply doesn't work. I'm sure there's some giant rabbit hole I could go down to try and fix it but like, why bother?

111

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I tried to install steam so I could download aesprite. It downloaded but when I click it to open it nothing happens. If I open it from the terminal nothing happens. Okay, I'll uninstall it I guess. Hit uninstall and nothing happens. Do it from the terminal and nothing happens.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I think I'm giving up on Linux tbh. I so badly want to be able to use it. The problem might be that I'm using it on a 2015 MacBook, but I looked online and people have said it's great? I'm not exaggerating when I say 50% of the time I click something, nothing happens.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

im concerned that im recalculating this every single frame, and i should probably do something about that. kinda surprised the fps isn't dropping at all yet. im at least going to pool the targeting sprites because right now i am destroying and recreating all of them every frame lol

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

starting to add ranged spells / attacks into this rogue-like thing i've been playing around with. kinda shocked I got aiming to work on the first try, even if I did get to reuse most of line of sight code #godot #indiedev #gamedev

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

i've been playing around with making an old school roguelike the last few weeks and i think i've made the combat complicated enough that i may need unit tests and MAN do i not want to do that :( :( :(

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

That comment was entirely correct but like, WHY!?!?!?

000

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I'm a professional software engineer, I totally understand why it's like this. But man, I had to reinstall it entirely 3 times because it kept getting corrupted until I found some random reddit comment that was like "you have to disable wifi while installing it or it won't work".

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I've had a 2015 MacBook for ages that can't really be used for most things. I was bored so I attempted to put Linux on it. I am no longer bored or in a good mood.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Idk man, this just kinda comes across as the writer doesn't enjoy video games. One of the stronger years in a while unless you only play the AAA slop.

I know that I never use a mouse on tactical games but I also know all my friends think I'm insane so 🤷

One of my little games has a negative review that says it seems like I abandoned it because it no longer gets updates... The game is finished? Sorry I didn't add a battle pass to my $5 game I guess?

Hey this is actually fucking disgusting to say. She was anything but neutral.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I only know a little about this, but I believe AKC registered dogs need unique names so you often see the breeder just throw their business name at the front like that. But yeah, it's technically part of the name.

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.

My project manager saved 90 seconds of their day today by using AI to write my jira ticket. I then spent 6 hours working on the ticket before another manager pointed out that the ticket was wrong and all my work needed to be scrapped. Yeah man, this is the future!

I don't understand what they're thinking. My assumption when I see menus like that is "their food sucks too much to actually show it to you".

Last week I spent an hour looking for the thermal paste I knew I had. Couldn't find it so went and bought some, used it, put it away in my desk drawer right next to the one I couldn't find.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

This is dumb but what makes it even dumber is the whole article is pretty clearly written by ai. What on earth is the point of any of this? Why would I visit a site to read generated slop articles about how to generate more slop? Just need this to end already.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

I like how the article tries so hard to make this sound incredibly scary and then halfway through it's like, yeah we gave it internet access on accident so when it reached the Internet it just thought it was part of the test.

It's very funny to me that you might actually be able to send some sort of message if enough people boycotted GTA, but none of these people are willing to do that. So they're going to do this which will send zero message instead.

I'd give anything for establishment Dems to fight fascism 1/10th as hard as the fight the DSA. Just a useless political party.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

just got banned from r/playMyGame for refusing to stop calling ai games slop. hell to the yeah.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

And if everyone COULD do that then ... You wouldn't make any money doing it? Everyone would just play their own games? No part of their logic makes any sense.

ghostGoats @ghostgoats.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

They always love arguing about it and it's like my brother if you can easily prompt a game and make a billion dollars then go do it. Why are you arguing with me? Certain they just deeply want to be accepted in a creative space and must be so angry that they never will be.

I'm just going to come right out and say it this time - treating video game studios like some kind of fantasy football draft, in the wake of mass layoffs no less, is sickening. The last three years, ...
