This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

A chef insisting that his cake made with diarrhea is perfectly fine to consume.

Actually you know what, let me just

A still of the character Chihiro in the film “Spirited Away”. A character called No Face is offering her a pile of false gold that has been edited and overlayed with the logos of Claude, OpenAI and Grok. She is saying, “I don’t want any. I don’t need any.”

Animals are sentient btw. What you mean to say your feral characters are is "sapient". It's not really a pedantic thing either, it's just objectively wrong to use sentient that way. And you're basically calling real animals (who feel and experience things) objects by saying they aren't sentient

"Don't be mean to people who just like Harry Potter" I will be. That conversation started and ended ten years ago. It no longer holds up to scrutiny. Over the span of a whole Decade, you were unwilling to resolve your dependence on an IP which solely acts as the bankrolling of a genocidal Nazi party

We really should stop calling it "age verification." Because that is not what it is. Call it "forced doxxing" instead. Most people think the concept of age verification and protecting kids online is common sense. So we must rebrand it to reveal its true purpose, which is something they will fear.

Today I got hit with the "Age Assurance" message when trying to load Bluesky. A second try later on caused it to display the same message for like half a second and then load the normal page. I'm not giving any website ID, so if I disappear from here, that's why.

Before any of you all go "BuT tHiS wOn'T aFfEcT mE", yes if will. It will affect EVERYONE. Not jusy here on bluesky, on EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. You would have to give up your fucking ID info just to use ANYTHING on the internet. It's mass surveillance. theintercept.com/2026/06/28/a...

Online Age Verification Law Could Kill Whistleblowing

The KIDS Act, ostensibly aimed at protecting children, will raise the risk for journalists, dissidents, and whistleblowers.

They vote on this shit THIS MONDAY. Call your representatives and tell them to VOTE NO on KOSA, KIDS, and other "age verification" bills. This would basically gut online privacy if it passes. You care about your privacy? Your freedom? Your rights? Call now. Get off your ass and do it. Call.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

as far as I'm concerned the ONLY thing I care about irt someone's character is whether or not they're actively causing REAL harm I R L & again, creating & consuming "problematic" fiction does not cause harm, acting irl on attractions that ignore consent does.

It's still crazy to me how Mirror's Edge could've been released ten years later exactly as it is and would have fit right in. A game from 2008 that looks, sounds, feels, plays... exactly like a game from 2018. And its engine was still in use by that time.

Enjoy silly variants of this that I had fun making. #elitedangerous

Did a bit of mission mining in #elitedangerous yesterday and was struck with inspiration. Have a "Where/how tf do I mine this?" reference sheet.

A pixel art quick reference guide for all of the minerals that can be mined in Elite Dangerous, using icons and colors to indicate which ring types and methods of mining each mineral is available in, as well as which minerals can have hotspots.

A farmer comes out of their house one morning to find their neighbor digging a deep hole in the farmer's yard. The farmer asks what their neighbor is doing destroying their yard. The neighbor says "I'm digging you a new water hole.". The farmer sighs and says "I know you mean well...".

Currently cleaning up my computer which has been accumulating various files for 10+ years. So far I've found... 1: A folder full of duck noises(?) in a proprietary Audacity format. 2: A mysterious file in a raw image format, too small to be a photo, which nothing can open. 3: A _158MB_ .txt file!

Just saw a discussion of how slang can be very confusing when learning a new language, which made me think... Holy shit this bull shit is bat shit. "Aw shit..." Like no shit that chicken shit dip shit did jack shit about this horse shit. Isn't English the shit? :)

So I've been experimenting with current-gen video codecs to try and replace x264 in my current workflow. I recorded several lossless test clips that contain various challenging things for video encoding: grain, concentric lines, red text, etc… and have been re-encoding these to record the metrics.

Having some fun theatrically dramatizing my video encoding experiments.

A Discord screenshot of several messages posted by Monody.
"Oh boy. I have peeped the madness I knew of for years but feared to investigate.
It was true for x264, and so too does it appear to be true for x265. (Spoiler tagged:) The slower presets... produce /larger files./"
"I can offer no explanation. My sanity dwindles."

"WTF even is this nonsense"
(A screenshot of a spreadsheet filled with video encoding test statistics, generally indicating that lower presets produce files of a similar or smaller size at the same quality setting despite being several times faster.)

"I have been enlightened to the truth of video encoding.
Things are not as simple as we once thought.
RF equals quality... Preset equals speed... /What a FOOL we were!
All things are intertwined, and none are all-encompassing."

Some E:D exploration screenshots from around the end of November / start of December. Found some pretty atmospheres.

A screenshot of the game Elite Dangerous. It shows a dark landscape on a planet with a blueish atmosphere illuminated by a bright sun just below the horizon. A Scarab SRV sits a short distance from the camera, looking towards the sun. Farther away there is a landed Imperial Clipper.

A screenshot of the game Elite Dangerous, showing space. A black Imperial Clipper is in the foreground, angled towards a rocky planet with a blueish atmosphere backlit by an L-type brown dwarf in the background.

A screenshot from the game Elite Dangerous. It shows a shiny dark purple Imperial Clipper with blue thruster exhaust in a planet's teal-to-green gradient atmosphere, flying up into space.

Wait a minute... "DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil" would've been the perfect title for DOOM 64! It's an explicit sequel to DOOM II, and its plot revolves around all the demons having been resurrected. And then DOOM 3 would've been DOOM 4 running in idTech 4, released in 2004.

Recently learned about the Shavian alphabet, an attempt to create an optimized script better for writing English than the Roman alphabet. I have some nitpicks with it, but overall it's pretty cool! ...So naturally it didn't take long for me to make a tiny pixel font of it.

An image containing a full set of 3 by 5 pixel Shavian characters, followed by a pangram using all of them. It is labeled as version 1.0, dated 16th of November 2024, and credited to Monody.

This represents our dynamic so well. XD

Monody: The "red" in question. :P
A screenshot from a Discord stream of DOOM 2016, showing an enemy with an orange highlight.
Fox: Red tho
Monody: I'm going to shit your ass.
A screenshot of the previous image in GIMP with an area color sampler tool on the enemy. The color selection dialog is open, showing the sampled color is a bright orange.

Not going to add too much to the noise right now; it's pretty obvious from the date what prompted the move over here from Twitter. I'm just going to take the opportunity to post this image again because it's great.
