If it makes you feel any better about it, due to the framing I just assumed this video was originally played on a Nintendo DS

yeah it is _so easy_ to pop into one of the many apps that have turned into "oops all reals" for a "few seconds" and then suddenly it's 40 minutes later 🫠

haha I showed my wife Veronica Mars and she was like "this is great, looking forward to the next season" and I was like "oh, no, we're stopping here"

They likely will! When I got my summons I was deep in "I just lost my job and need to look for work" and got it postponed

There were already plenty of tools to let non-coders make games before these (gamemaker, unity, unreal, etc). Shit, I *know* non-coders that released games before all this. We didn't need the "lol we took all your data and we'll keep doing it" tools on top of that.

My painting, "Capy Easter"! It started out as random scribbling and turned into this cheerful painting! #capybara #art #easter #easteregg #painting
Painting of an egg-shaped fuchsia capybara tucked in with 3 other eggs (blue, green and pink) in a purple Easter basket. There is grass in under the eggs and sparkles all around. The artist's @joyousjoyfuljoyness watermark is to the right of the capybara.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

Yeah I think this is the real point, right? Your core "loop" if you want to call it that should be fun and well-implemented, but also leave room for all the weird side shit

Control Resonant is a game about an enemy with an awful, distorted message that convinces many who hear it, which has broken containment, at the same time there's also a giant awful biological contagion sweeping through everything, all in a world that feels ever more twisted Unrelatable

lol wow last time I had a plumbing issue (bathtub shower valve wasn't working properly) I was quoted like $1500 to solve it. I fixed it myself with a $10 part and a $20 tool instead.

Josh Jersild @joshjers.drilian.com · 24/09/2026
Oh yeah this sounds fine! Would it be possible to skin this as less of a *pointer* and more of a *reticle*? That might make it easier for people to vibe with ("it's totally not a cursor I promise <_<")
100
Josh Jersild @joshjers.drilian.com · 24/09/2026
I think it could work but only if tuned *very* well - driving cursors with joysticks is almost always more frustrating than using a mouse due to the inherent lack of precision in the movement. But if you can find a way around that, it's probably fine - especially if it better matches the concept

haha if only I had a "both buttons" kind of brain 🫠

Josh Jersild @joshjers.drilian.com · 24/09/2026
haha it's true except literally last night I was like "oh shit I think I figured out a solution to this problem that's been bugging me for like 6 months" and now it's gonna have to just *sit* there and wait its turn

What a time to get an idea for how to solve an issue with the lighting model I've been trying to develop for my game, right after Control Resonant drops
A variation of a classic meme depicting two red buttons and a person sweating trying to decide between them. The buttons, in this case, are labeled "Do gamedev" and "Play Control Resonant"

because if you tax the rich heavily, then they don't get richer as fast, which would be bad people not having jobs though? that's not the rich, so it's fine
