Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 10/09/2026I thought it was just me finding the theme super off-putting. Glad to see others are thinking the same thing 111
Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 13/08/2026Software has licenses and IP just like art. Say you're working on a contribution for a project like Wine - how do you know you didn't just generate a snippet of leaked, copyrighted Windows source code? 180
Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 11/08/2026City building two ways: Urban Sprawl with NBSP's snappy 3 player rules variant and Green City. I got steamrolled in both but still enjoyed the plays. Green City would be interesting at higher player counts - it felt a little skinny at 3. 000
Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 11/08/2026Dominant Species with 6 is still excellent. It always helps to have squishy animals instead of cones... Looking forward to what @allplay.bsky.social does with the new edition and enjoying some fresh @heavycardboard.bsky.social DS content! 030

Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 25/07/2026The way the deck models "tribal memory" is so cool. You get burned by a card a couple of times and start to remember what the back looks like 😅 010
Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 23/07/2026We finally got our hands on our copy of Coast Watchers! Very nice to have tools included to eliminate the memory requirement in deduction. The allied player can refer to a mission tree and the Japanese can use notational chits to track sightings. 010
Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 14/07/2026SDHistConNorth was a great time! The only thing better than the games were the kind and welcoming people at the table. My wife and I had a great time.

Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 13/07/2026Sorry, I can see this conversation is going nowhere if you believe that. 000
Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 13/07/2026I don't think it's even a powerful tool. It's just disguised in conversation in a way that makes it easy to deceive people that are not subject experts. People always think "it doesn't work in X industry I know, but I hear it's fine in Y". It's never fine in Y if you talk to an expert... 100
Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 13/07/2026I currently work in the software industry and I can tell you right now, it's not used in good faith. Teams work harder for less pay to fix mistakes while under management pressure to use tools that end up creating more problems. It's like having infinite junior programmers that can't improve. 100
Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 13/07/2026This use case basically has no sustainability. Products will get worse, not be maintainable, and be full of security holes. They're just filling in plausible results, which does not result in products with real lifecycles outside of enormous manual (human) toil to fix things. 110

Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 30/04/2026If a company sells your call for LLM training, your voice might be regurgitated in someone else's output in some form without your consent. It's really gross and we need better rights around our data and personal identity imo 100
Matt @matt.blobfish.zone · 30/04/2026A long while ago I worked at a shop that basically ingested these calls and did simple text to speech to identify common issues for companies. Stuff like surfacing "spilled or cold gravy" as a super common issue for food delivery. LLM training makes this stuff way sketchier, imo 000
