four greyscale Gameboy camera pictures of plastic animal skulls. a goat, a rat, a snake, and a dog? a cat maybe? hard to say.

thank you, the details of it were escaping my recollection, and i quite enjoy the meditative aspect of looking it progress. that *was* a meditative activity for me at the time: to stop everything else you were computing and just let it heal a little bit.

I've been given the honor of giving the closing talk at this year's #Roguelike Celebration @roguelike.club, joining a stellar speaker lineup. I'd share my talk's title, but it would go over bsky's character limit! Check out the full program: www.roguelike.club/event2026.html
The Decades-Long Design Experiment That Escapes Permadeath and Finds a New Form Every Run
I’ve been making roguelikes for more than two decades, and I’ve come to realize that I haven’t really been making dozens of separate games: instead I’ve been running one very long design experiment. This talk follows the ideas that have survived that experiment: mechanics, systems, interfaces, world-generation techniques, and questions that disappear for years only to emerge again and sometimes find a working shape.

This isn’t a story of steady progress toward better games, rather an exploration of how curiosity, iteration, failure, and unfinished work accumulate over time. (true) Roguelikes are built around the idea that knowledge persists across runs even when characters don’t, I think game development can work the same way.

Yeah I just don't like the way people talk down to artists sometimes. If they're writing shader noodles, they need to be skilled technicians, working with other people, worrying about interop and all those things. They're still nerds - I'm sure they can handle a bit of text and some variable names.

wtf google... just realizing i have a *very* hard line with regards to content warnings, and that is while i'm listening to music. guess i have a *very* different relationship with language in music. language that bothers me in written/spoken form i don't ever register in songs.
screenshot of youtube music warning 'the following conten may contain suicide or self-harm topics' before playing 'Everybody Hurts' by R.E.M. it stop the playback of the album for that. not cool...

Every AI/HCI paper I review now just sounds like this.
Research [25] shows that people [26] enjoy the feeling of winning games [3,5,19]. Enjoying things can lead to longer life expectancy [2], higher economic productivity [9,22,33-40,302] and improve mental health [9]. Yet many games still include losing players [67,4]. A recent study showed that less than half of the players in a Chess [1] match win on average [42]. We have developed an LLM-driven co-creative [66], user-led [11], mixed-initiative [80] assistant for Chess [2], through which players can redefine the rules of Chess [3] using generative AI prompting such that they are the winner of Chess [4]. A study (n=3) showed that 100\% of people felt better, healthier and more self-actualised after using our tool, showing that this may be the way forward for games and human culture more broadly in the future.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Highly recommend Macross Plus. I've yet to see a game that captures how a variable fighter moves in its entirety. It would basically involve making the most complex character controller in recent memory. One of the reasons I'm investigating/experimenting with such a thing >:3c

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

Asexuals are not the polar opposite of a slutty (complimentary) character or high heat sex scenes. We do not need to be coddled or protected from seeing sex on screen or on the page. We are adults with our own feelings and relationships toward sex and sexy things and can make our own decisions.
