if you have a machine that you think is so unpredictable and dangerous that what it does when you turn it on is anyone's guess and you're seriously trying to make "it was acting on its own" stick then maybe you shouldn't plug it in at all

I take comfort from the fact that in the 1970s, a little known sci-fi picture called Star Wars came out and had this bit where a guy is lying his ass off to some rubes and he accidentally uses the wrong terminology, and then the next 40+ years were spent trying to explain how he was actually right

Also, fwiw, I find ancient Greek individuality easy to overstate: only for adult citizen males, of course, but also even citizens really didn't have any rights the community was bound to respect. It's an individualistic society by pre-modern standards, but I wouldn't say fiercely so.

Watching this has been fun. They're all pretty empathic if stern to vibecoders. Some of it is just reality checks though like "I know I said you could use my mod in your vibecoded project, but claude just copied it and you don't understand it. You realize you have to support this yourself now?"

the report, from professionals in the relevant fields, says that ADHD and autism is under-diagnosed and people affected by that are not given enough support in an appropriate and timely manner. but that’s not the result the government wants, so that means the spin apparatus has chosen this form.

There are certain words - beyond, like, slurs and shit like that - that if a person says them I just know they're not going to have anything worthwhile to say. The "cope" as the noun is probably one of the bigger ones.

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.

I think I finally found why the "but what about trans surgeries on minors" argument bugs me so much. No rational person would find it "concerning" or "controversial" if a surgeon cut a cancerous tumor out of a 15-year-old but be totally fine if they did it to an 18-year-old.

Your position is fundamentally incoherent and can only be explained by personal discomfort. "I support gender-affirming care (the kinds of which I will conveniently not name or specify), which qualified doctors say is safe, effective and necessary, except for 'surgeries' (the kinds of which I will conveniently not name or specify), which I find concerning to be performed on a person 17 years 364 days old, but I would support without question if a person is a single day older than that."

I cannot stress enough that no rational person thinks this way about any other form of medical treatment.

It's such a sadness that you represent your game with a bunch of fucking Steam genre tags. Get real.

one of the best decisions you can make as an artist is to stop talking about your artwork from a position of defending it. the artists statement should be a tool of pride, community, and conversation, not an appeal to those who had no interest in (or ability to) understand it in the first place.
