the jam may be over but that doesn’t stop me from making spaghetti

MarkGamed @markgamed.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

oh that's satisfying. good news is i've got the basic menu system and level loading complete. my immediate concerns are the courses and control rebinding, then after that i will spend the rest of the time making it as good as i can. which likely will not be much but i'm trying my hardest here ok

MarkGamed @markgamed.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

okay i am slightly stressed about the looming #fallingblockjam deadline but the gameplay is now fully working. i now have 3 days to fix up the graphics, design stages, and make menus might experiment with making bubble remainders collapse into 1x1 pieces & not clear? but other than that im happy

It’s fucking June man. Why are there AI generated flyers at Best Buy. Why are there AI generated restaurant menus. Who at Rogers wanted the AI “art” exhibition. What happened to the human spirit. I’m so sick of this shit

flyer at Best Buy for “Doughnuts for a Greater Cause”, a charity donut sale. the entire poster is AI generated

restaurant menu for “Match Day Specials” for the World Cup. again, fully AI generated

website screenshot for “AiRTIFICIAL Visions”, an AI “art” exhibition. i have never felt physical pain from a website before and yet here we are

you’re not gonna believe how big of a sigh i took when writing this post

screenshot of Google search results. i have searched for “lamenting definition”, and am presented with an AI overview of the definition (not what I want) immediately followed by Merriam-Webster defining the word (what I want).

for legal reasons this is a joke. for illegal reasons here you go

T = Tetris Effect Master mode best lines
q = 1/(1 + e^(10-(T/1000)))
G1 = TGM1 best grade, as amount of grades above 9
G2 = TGM2 best Master grade, as amount of grades above 9
G3c = TGM3 qualified Master grade in Classic Rule, as calculated previously
G3w = TGM3 qualified Master grade in World Rule
G3 = 3/4 * max(G3c, G3w) + 1/4 * min(G3c, G3w)
G4s = TGM4 best Master grade in Standard Rule, except all grades after GM Rounds are worth 1/14 more than the previous instead
G4t = TGM4 best Master grade in TGM Rule, as calculated previously
G4 = 3/4 * max(G4s, G4t) + 1/4 * min(G4s, G4t)
Mn = Maximum possible value of Gn under prior definitions
N = NES Tetris best score under tournament rules

skill = ((1-q)(T/1000) + q * sqrt(T/10000)) + (sum n=1 to 4)(((Gn/Mn)^2)/4) + min(sqrt(N/100000), 1.1)/(1+e^(3-(N/200000)))

I have made the most threatening lever known to the server

lever next to a sign in front of a display board. display board reads “UNIT SYSTEM: METRIC”. sign next to lever reads “Pull lever to switch between unit systems”

they call it a torikan because I torikan’t deal with this

game of TGM3 Shirase on an arcade machine, having ended at level 500 with a time of 3:03.03 (exactly 0.03 seconds too slow to continue)

I’M NOT THAT SLOW NORMALLY I AM JUST RUSTY ON STICK I PROMISE

they don’t give a shit about how good it is already, they’re adding AI to it whether it improves the experience or not

forgot to actually post about this whoops. i've released my entry to the #FallingBlockJam, in which I believe I have incurred the wrath of God for my crimes. introducing Project Omni, the *other* kind of game jam: itch.io/jam/falling-...

you can swallow 27,412,280 copies of the entire memory of the Apollo guidance computer in just one bite? finally, an easy way to do that

picture of the Wikipedia article for the Apollo Guidance Computer, which has (36864 ROM + 2048 RAM) words of memory at 15 bits per word. this is then calculated to be equal to 72,960 bytes of memory by a handwritten calculation on the image.

(2 TB / 72960 bytes = 27.41 million)

i can see myself getting used to it, but what’s up with the code block formatting colours? at least for me I can barely tell some of them apart on certain themes
