Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

That's cool. I'm sure all the BitReactor devs that were furloughed weeks before launch are gonna see some of that $50 million... right? Residuals are standard in other creative industries. If the people who actually made the game got their share of the profits, we wouldn't be in this mess.

I watched Ghost in the Cell this weekend, highly recommend it. It's a horror comedy film, almost felt like it was heavily influenced by Shaun of the Dead.

We went to a speed puzzling event yesterday in Poulsbo, it was very fun, buuuut the puzzle they gave out had genAI art on it. I wish they would care about craft and artistry, but maybe that's too much to expect nowadays.

If you see this and code, can you let me know if you use AI assistants? I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t anymore.

Side quests in games are like the muffin tops; they are better than the main part. However, without the main quest, side quests lose their glamor, just like the muffin top without the muffin body.

I tried to make a smoothie bowl, but I made the critical error of making the smoothie part a bit too thin. Now my spouse is roasting me. The best one so far is “this is what they would feed their children in a SciFi future. Eat your slurp, Minnie”

Are there other big games coming out this fall that have used genai?

Just found out Blood of Dawnwalker used genai voices (and who knows what else). On one hand, disappointed because I love Witcher 3 and was looking forward to more of that. Buuuut on the other hand, I'm glad the games I want to play this fall is shrinking.

It was always more fun playing a random warehouse or house party show in Oakland than SF during those times. I once accidentally blew a circuit at a show, and fried my Ampeg v4 head, 🪦

I love buying itch bundles, especially when it's for a good cause...buuut these bundles have made the library impossible to search or browse. I wish there was a way to exclude them as a filter and bring them back when I want to.

I’ve been having random days lately where I have to rely on the traditions of the old when modern tech fails. For example, last week Mint Mobile went down and I had to screenshot Google Maps directions and rely on them. Reminds me of when we printed MapQuest directions.

Places like Bluesky always felt like we’re all shouting down a hall and every now and again you can pick up on something you’re interested in and participate. Doesn’t feel like a community that much.

We made a pretty good coming of age story game but most players won’t even give it a chance because it’s got too much color. We’re not all that different in love, relationships, and generational issues. I promise you can relate to these characters. store.steampowered.com/app/1617220/...

A story where angels are burnt out and overworked because no one expected human population to explode in numbers and they cannot help everyone (or anyone really anymore), but God doesn’t create more angels, and expects them to handle the extra workload because that’s what success looks like.

I hope this "token apocalypse" clears the AI fog these devs are suffering and they realize why they started coding in the first place. The depression mentioned by this guy is the comedown of the drug. He'll be alright after the crash. I really hope someone is doing a study on this addict behavior.
