Stopped by a Marvel VisionQuest popup event in NYC today. Got to see some awesome props from WandaVision and elsewhere.

What did we even use those microphones for in the 90s?

Back in the '90s, my uncle had a computer store that was officially called "The Computer Place", but the sign just said "COMPUTERS". He figured it was stupid to pay for sign letters when no one gave a crap about the "brand". Made sense.

What vitamin-fortified madness is this? What’s next, Froot Puffs?

A box of Kellogg’s “Cocoa Loops” cereal. Yes, it’s a real thing

Hey, hello. Hi. Have I really not posted here in 7 months? I've been job hunting for a bit which means my social media energy has been going into the LinkedIn AI slop-hole. But I need another outlet, because here's what nobody tells you about— DAMMIT! I may be too far gone. Agree? Disagree? 😫

Finally caved and installed Tahoe. The Extreme Rounding Of Everything is ridiculous. Does Apple think I'm going to cut myself on sharp desktop icons?

The most memorable instance of this at my house was the dying battery in the Verizon broadband box thingy in my garage.

That’s just a workaround for not having a button in the actual alt text editor to do it.

Jeff Chausse @jeffchausse.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

The one thing on the Internet that would unquestionably be drastically improved by generative AI is automatic creation of alt tags in social media images. Why is no one doing that?

Watching Endgame for the 10,000th time and it just dawned on me. Ant-Man is the one Avenger who doesn’t age for 5 years during the Blip. Which means, of course, Paul Rudd was the only person who could have played him.

No, I didn't abandon my game, it just took me 5 days to draw clothes for the character 😂 I still consider this placeholder art, but I got tired of looking at weird naked alien guy (with or without hat). He's supposed to be a zookeeper (sort of).

Jeff Chausse @jeffchausse.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

I'm making a point to make a tiny bit of progress each day. Yesterday I added sounds when drawing and removing walls with the mouse. Today, I did pixel art in Aseprite to give my naked placeholder character a hat. I might make the rest of his clothes tomorrow.

This account may become a game development log. Recent advances in AI have finally made it fun again for me to attempt to create a video game. I can ask dumb questions in dumb ways, and get (usually) working code back. I'm finally building (in Godot) a game idea that's been in my head for decades.

No judgment toward any of these women but… Jeff Bezos has a type, huh?

This happened right after I deposited $10 to enter a contest. I guess they assumed I was planning to deposit $999,990 a little later.

For just a moment, I fantasized about living a life where this email from Robinhood mattered.

There’s a “blink and you missed it” line from Lorne Michaels near the beginning of the Saturday Night movie that I’m going to steal for my design career: “Feel free to let me know when my expectations exceed your capabilities.”

I love that you love PowerPoint. It just goes to show there’s someone out there for everyone 😆

Jeff Chausse @jeffchausse.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

It absolutely boggles my mind that in the year 2025, so many visual tweaks in PowerPoint can only be done via modal dialogs that require dismissal to apply changes. I had to open this stupid dialog 6 times just to get some line spacing to look halfway decent.

It’s weird how they try to make you feel guilty instead of just jumping on the opportunity to take your money. We all know where going to get screwed left and right during air travel.

I literally only played for about 10 minutes, at which point it still just sort of feels like roaming around a Legend of Zelda dungeon. I’ll keep going 😀

I just started playing Binding of Isaac after hearing good things. How long does it take to really kick in as something special?

Expecting crunchy and it's soft, by far. Usually means rotten. Opposite can just mean stale.

I need to start an indie band just to release an album called "Upsetting Mouthfeel Experiences".

Fair enough. As a UI/UX designer who briefly was part of the gaming world (Harmonix, 2008-2011), I'd love to see examples of UI excellence. The radial menus on The Sims are one of my favorite examples.

Sorely disappointed that a company called "SadoTech" is just selling wireless doorbells.

Forest fire? Jews control it from the sky. Fire too big to put out? Blame it on Black jobs. Climate change? Chinese hoax. MAGA and Musk. Making medieval bigotry and superstition look rational by comparison.

I made a point to give Joker: Folie à Deux a fair chance, and that was a huge mistake. Holy crap, that movie was terrible. I knew it was a musical, but even musicals are supposed to have something resembling a coherent storyline. This was just repetitive nonsense.

Infants should not be described as “tender and mild.” That makes baby Jesus sound like a limited time special at Chipotle.

I never thought I’d have to say this about a new Apple product, but the iPhone 16 Pro has too many hardware buttons. I’m constantly hitting them by accident.
