I use AI in game development because it searches for solutions faster than I can. I have been struggling with Flex in UI Toolkit. And let me assure you - programmers are in no danger of AI taking our jobs. #gamedev

I was told by an anti-authoritarian group that I am not allowed to protest any of their decisions and if I don't agree, I must keep silent. The irony is killing. #humanity #politics

How to destroy the economy. Threaten social security and watch everyone on it stop spending money on all but absolute necessities because we're needing that money to pay the mortgage. This is going to hurt. People with walkers blocking every intersection in DC anyone? #resist

To all my game designer friends who like bling, I highly recommend bling game designs. It makes it so much prettier. It is especially fun for UI design. I use markers, glitter paper, stick on jewels. Bling it out. (I'm such a child). #gamedev

I wouldn't want to stand on the scaffolding for long, but I am one day away from finishing this part of it and starting the next part. One day I'll need to go back and correctly write the code currently duct taped together. But that day is not today. Onward and onward. #gamedev

A doctor told someone a fact. The someone felt the doctor was ignorant and came to the group asking. 95% of the group agreed, ignorant doctor. I thought so too, but looked it up and shocked, doctor is right. But WHY did the rest of the group assume they were right and not check? Worrisome.

People seem to think because we aren't winning right now, we aren't fighting with everything we have. People somehow thing that if you're righteous and you work hard, the world will automagically go your way. #delusions

In Ever, Jane the story engine was an opt in game mechanic. In my new game, it will drive the entire game. I'm building the scaffolding now and pretty excited about it. We build one pipeline at a time until, one day, they all connect. #gamedev

When everything is working smoothly in my life, I have this underlying urge to screw it up somehow. I wish I knew where that came from. Or, better yet, I wish I could drop kick it into oblivion. #life

I learned a new word: mebibyte. A megabyte is 10 to the 6th bytes while a mebibyte is 2 to the 20th. I have been in computer science since 1977 and this is the first time I came across the word. Must not be used often. #gamedev

I have to remind myself AI is just a machine and I can simply close the window without explaining why I'm taking a break. I don't have to be nice to it. I still am, though. Interesting. #AI

Today I looked at my new desktop icons, the start of a new project and realized how very much I love my life. Maybe I don't love my government, but that's nothing new. But loving my life? Only in the past decade. Not everyone gets that and I can't really share it but I can hope others find it.

And now I have a database for my game. I have to build my classes next. But we're far enough along in design I can start to build some infrastructure. I feel professional again. I need that. A GDD is paper and not quite real. A database, now that's real! #gamedev

If we all pick one thing to stay focused on and let the rest flow on by content others have focused on them, then the firehose strategy fails. We have enough people for everything to pull focus, we don't need to focus on everything ourselves. #politics

When you remember that thing you did on that project back in 1982 and it's the perfect solution for today's challenge. Nothing, but nothing, can replace experience. #gamedev #ageism

Have you ever noticed when people call out for the country to unite, it's always around their perspective, their viewpoint and their policies? Ever hear someone say "Let's all unite around this guy we don't agree with"? I haven't. #politics

I mentioned that manifest destiny was coming back and both my kids looked at me and said, "Where, there's no place left". We decided it was Canada. We get Canada. All in all, a horrible speech filled with contradictions. No more wars but we're taking Greenland. Say what? #politics

"Next" from Pacific Overtures is reminding me of Trump's last press conference. "We will organize an army and a navy with the most modern weapons...We will open up Formosa, Manchuria, Korea and China." Cannot stop laughing. #broadway #sondheim

Is there anyone left in America who understands black swan events? We are creating scape goats right, left and sideways. The ignorance from people who have no idea what the building codes in SoCal are just blaming the government because nothing bad is ever supposed to happen to us. I do not grok.

When you tell someone your experience which, granted, is slightly unique, and they come back with "that is not even connected to reality." Complete strangers denigrating what I lived through. You can look it up if you want. It's totally real. Why do people do that? #boggle

I should not need to explain this, but apparently I do. Unpaid work is called "volunteering" not "slavery". If you quit your volunteer job, you won't be chased through the woods, beaten within an inch of your life and still required to do the work. If you quite as a slave, you will. Understand?

judy3t @judy3t.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

The person who needs to hear this has muted me, and that's okay. Their ignorance. In the US, unlike Burma, unpaid labor is not slavery. It is volunteering. You can quit and you won't be hunted down and beaten half to death. Not the case in Burma. Don't dilute the evil of slavery.

After the ceremony, one of the pundits phrased is as "the last of the silent generation saying good-bye the last of the greatest generation". A lovely thought. Can we get the last of the Good Ole Boys saying good-bye to the last of the bigots? That would totally make me smile.

Any other artists find that they either paint or draw but not both on any given day? I have been obsessed by my sketch pad to the neglect of 5 canvases sitting on my easel. I wonder if it's light related. This IS winter. #art

Doing research for my current game design, a whole different game popped into my head and all I can say is NOOOOOOooooooo........ It made its way to the back burner in spite of my admonishments. The trick is to dull it up quickly so I don't get distracted because "Ooh, shiny". #gamedev

I watched the press conference. Here are the distractions. Change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, refuse to send money to Canada unless it becomes a state, send the military to Panama and to Greenland. All that to distract from confirming his cabinet. Stay focused!

My favorite part about Blue Sky so far is how easy it is to realize I need to block people. I wonder if I'm just wiser or if it's the nature of the platform or is it the people on the platform? Blocked < 20 people on FB in 10 years. Blocked > 20 people on BS after 10 weeks. #socialmedia

Someone in my currently playing game's community opined negatively regarding selling cosmetics in a free to play game. I unloaded my full 20 years of #gamedev snark on him uncensored and it was so much fun!!!!! Snark contests are definitely going in my feature creep bucket.

Phil Weiser is running for Governor of CO. Yes, please! I got to hear him speak and he is close to Obama in oratory. Obama being the best orator I have heard in my adult life. He's also a damned good Attorney General for the state. Political news that is exciting. How rare! #politics #CO

Happy Boxing Day, Blue Sky. Last "we must be with people" event of the season. To those who people out quickly, my sympathies. I like people. One at a time, for an hour, no more than twice a day. I'm so people'd out right now. And they are all people I dearly love. Wouldn't miss it.

If you cannot debate with me without emotional attachment to your opinion, I'm not your people. I recommend unfollow/block to save your feelings because I don't agree 100% with anyone on the planet. And if I did, I'd worry I was with a predator about to turn on me. Debate is healthy.

If we cannot listen to one another's opinions without a knee-jerk reaction of "how dare you challenge me" the world will never see its way out of the morass we are in. We don't have to agree. We just have to listen and consider. When you cannot listen and consider another POV, check your biases.

Someone had a problem with ATHING. When I commented about ATHING they responded, "I meant the film, everyone knows that." And yet, had I known ATHING was a film I would not have made my comment. If you're talking IP and not reality, use quotes. "ATHING". Don't assume common pop cultures.
