Psych suggested POTS possibility, did the at home POTS test and uhh yeah it did the thing so... maybe we got some answers??? Going to bring it up to doc. Though honestly it only explains like half my lifelong issues, but even figuring out half would be huge

I swear this is a real story, Kora is so funny now, she yells up to me "MOM, I FIGURED IT OUT, IT'S AN AI PUZZLE", about a gift we got of a dinosaur puzzle with completely inaccurate dinosaurs. She immediately noticed it was wrong earlier this year bc the herbivores had sharp teeth.

Preemptive sorry for making it too serious but- The fact that investment is not pivoting to more "feminine" perceived genres shows that money flow is not objective, and when a company makes an evil choice that is also similarly avoidable Anyway gunna play this, pls make more fashion games!

In a stunning turn of events I somehow have a handful of doctors all aligned on figuring out wtf is wrong with me (why I have been sleepy every single day of my life since birth). Even then, wading through all the different places I need to call, get insurance to cover etc to figure it out is wild

Always excited for anything Zelda! personally, I find the style in line with how varied Zelda game art style has been from game to game. I also find its hard to get the vibe until playing the games themselves. They put so much in the overall picture rather than individual components.

I’m basically trying to hoard every physical activity possible in Case of the possibility that I’m not allowed to take these meds forever. i got ice skates and signed up for gymnastics.

Been community-maxxing and actually using all the local resources, went bowling, ice skating, volunteered for arts center this month, did library reading list, gymnastics and dance. Related: it's too hot outside and my meds make me 500,000 degrees

I think my current coping methos has been to try to become extremely local and trying to amass as many new skills as possible. The joy I'm having in life has come from getting involved in community stuff locally. Started using the library and actually reading, considering some more bartering

Idk man, I can’t figure out what angle to even discuss what’s happening in the industry (or all the industries!) bc fundamentally none of the choices have anything to do with an actual product or market anymore. We are not the customer, investment is the customer. I don’t know where the endpoint is

PSA that you don't need to watch the latest netflix doc, it won't improve your life and it's really really tragic. Read the summary online if needed. My new thing has been if I get curious about a true crime doc, read the 15 min summary/discussions online instead of watching the long doc or series.

This is becoming a growing risk for investments and grants too: why would I risk giving money to an indie if you're using genAI to such an extent it'll come out and ruin your release? Every person I've asked this question reacts shocked; they didn't realize yet how damaging it is to your marketing

eek also sorry about the tone shift. Games as an art is profoundly energizing, but games as an economic structure is endlessly distressing

I genuinely, genuinely am having the most wonderful conversation about specific game design implementations in socially conscious cozy games in the comments of my itch manifesto entry. Meeting someone new who matches your vibe so thoroughly to make you grow is the best feeling on earth

Someone engaged with me deeply about this in the comments and I love it so much, like I wanna have more discussions that actually go back and forth and we get to actually start agreeing or disagreeing on specifics.

Kora is old enough that I wanted to start explaining why I wasn't letting her watch certain (ai) videos when we have supervised time watching youtube together. She's gotten super into asking how I spot it, why it's bad etc. And now she keeps going up to people and telling them that ai art is stolen😂

I read a flat critique of cozy games today that I don't think I want to platform, but then I saw this critique, which I found really good! I think my general thought is that the best critique of the genre is going to come from fans of it. People who want it to improve rather than flattening it

I started using LinkedIn. I can't decide if my user experience is good or bad. I guess I'll say, it does not make me as mad and heated as the lows of other social media, but also there is no incentive to scroll, as basically none of the content is interesting or relevant to me currently

I just figured out how I would have fixed the end of Twilight. Have Jacob imprint on some other woman near the end, turns out their baby and nessie or whatever are the soulmates and is why he felt drawn to bella and protective of her. Boom, you got a spin off warewolfxvampire story and not creepy

I'm obsessed with Pokopia as a gamer obviously, but also I'm just incredibly jealous/ impressed that they actually made cozy sim in the alps Disco Elysium and it totally works

I know I'm asking a lot, but I wish these article headlines were more clear about "But they have not shown any evidence at all that what they claim would be remotely possible"

I figured it out, the Super Bowl commercials this year remind me of the expo hall at GDC. Same vibe of 10 different wildly over funded companies chasing one tech fad. We’re just missing a blockchain and NFT ad

If I was famous id be in the Pokemon superbowl halftime commercial that isn’t specifically advertising anything just the concept of pokemon

There’s a really weird amount of ai de-aging ads in the Super Bowl, it’s legit like 40% of them?

Kells makes cat games @kells.bsky.social · 29/01/2026
36% is a hilariously low number considering how many companies are forcing use, and how many (basically all) mainstream dev tools and programs are inserting passive gen ai into their products anywhere possible. Good job team lets get those numbers lower next time tho ✌️

So it's eerie that every major political event is happening in places I live or have lived, but the nice part is seeing all the random center right people I went to school with swing wildly left over time and all be out protecting their communities, and that's really wonderful

I very genuinely don't know how anyone keeping up on GenAI stuff could still deny the bubble (unless they are lying in order to protect investment) ((that's the answer)) But seriously

I want to interact with people on here that I don't have in other spaces, but my issue is that I don't want to add to stressful political venting, I'm not the best source for constructive information, and discussing anything else feels weird too. Anyway popping in to say hi!
