Introducing my first asset pack: ✨️ Lowpoly 3D Stationary ✨️ Over 100 low-fi 3D models based on real-world stationary items, including pens, notebooks, erasers, stencils, tapes, and bottled inks, made to look like they're from a 3D game in the late 90's/early 00's. #lowpoly #b3d #indiedev #gamedev

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

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.

When showing GRIDHACK, a small number of people react negatively to it's time pressure. Understandable, but my counter is this: What would TETRIS be like if the blocks didn't fall automatically? The pressure creates flow. ( PS: store.steampowered.com/app/3053870/... )
