Can I say every time I read a review of the new Jonathan Blow game that starts by saying how brilliant The Witness was I feel insane. As someone who really really really loves puzzle games The Witness was like...fine?

Labyrinth of the Demon King is a sort of King' Field inspired dungeon crawler with heavy Survival Horror elements, a blend of gameplay styles that works so incredibly well. The atmosphere of this game is off the charts, the visuals are some of the grodiest I've ever seen, it looks incredible.

10 years ago I made those higher pixel resolution interpretations of GBA Fire Emblem sprites. Time is flying to fast... But at least I've been working on a fair amount of tactical games since, like Songs of Conquest and Symphony of War. Also Vampire Tactics will be revealed soon, around Halloween...

🎯It's a pet peeve of mine that became apparent when I started uploading Castlevania VODs to YouTube and got claims from generically-named entities like SGAE_CS who definitely do not own rights to Konami's music. They get to keep trying - despite how wildly illegal it is - because YouTube enables it

If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

Debating whether or not to call attention to this, but there's a AI-generated Nighthawks clone on Google Play. Our game isn't on Google Play, so if you see it there... that's not us. We're trying to get it taken down.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: on the set of the Jerry Springer show, a man sits in a chair. Jerry signals off-stage and says, “we have with us: your ancestor who crawled out of the ocean 375 million years ago!” Panel 2: the live studio audience is booing. Panel 3: security attempts to break up a fight between the man on stage, and his ancestor, a tiktaalik.

Oh jeez. Oh no.

To be fair, I’m not doing so great with men. I told my most recent date that I was working on a novella. “Because you’re Mexican?” he asked. I asked what he meant. “Isn’t a novella a Mexican novel?” Before him was the guy who confessed over drinks that he didn’t “believe in Helen Keller,” because there was “no way she actually flew that plane.” I asked if he meant Amelia Earhart. “Who?” I slept with both of them.
