i'm assembling a team to make a space-corridor-like for the jam. i'd like to add to the existing comments and say it would be nice if we could use other engines. the point is that unity is doing bad things, so idk that it's a positive for my team to have to install their software on our computers

even though you're not persuading us here (of course because we agree already) it's good to know people we support feel the same way and hopefully aren't using AI tools at all themselves

even had somebody else try to log into the chatbot to see if it would let them. it did not. i was trying to make a data privacy request to have my account deleted, so having a support system that just Doesn't Work let them continue selling my data after i had formally requested its deletion

silentcrystaltears @silentcrystaltears.popelore.net · 23/09/2026

when i attempted to contact support, i logged in, and then talked to the chatbot, which tried to escalate me to their "live agent", but that required me to log in, again, for some reason. when i attempted to log in for the chatbot it gave an error every time. i cleared cookies, tried another system,

can *i* use GPLed code for closed-source commercial work? of course not! but chuds using claude can. seems good to me, consider copyright abolished then

silentcrystaltears @silentcrystaltears.popelore.net · 18/09/2026

smugly saying “copyright bad actually” to justify openai and anthropic owning everything that has ever been made without actually doing anything to dissolve copyright for human artists

worth noting that it's not ideal for games that require smooth motion, as laid out in the manual. it's good for grid-based games though

Since the X coordinate must be a multiple of 4, smooth sprite move-
ment requires pre-drawn rotated sprites for the intervening sprite po-
sitions. CGALIB is probably not fast enough for action games on a
typical CGA PC with an 8088 processor, but sprite-style operations are
still useful for things like characters in an RPG location, chess pieces
on an ornate board, or units on a strategic map.

i had a good time using it to port my game to DOS: silentcrystaltears.popelore.net/games/turtle... made doing pretty much everything quite simple. drawing sprites is a bit of a pain with the provided tools but that's the worst of it.

the link in the resources page for cgalib could be updated to link to cgalib2, which now includes sound and keyboard input as part of the library dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/36...

i appreciated seeing aftermath intentionally post directly contradictory takes simultaneously during that, it made it explicit that you weren’t trying to do objective reporting (which isn’t something that should have to be made explicit, but here we are)

remember when facebook did this and then when x did this? i'm certain that youtube has no ill intent at all...

whether you agree with the takes in the post or not, this is clearly a slop blog? the only thing going for it is the author's industry cred, which is meaningless given the high chances the writing is AI-assisted and thus the words are not his own.

silentcrystaltears @silentcrystaltears.popelore.net · 06/08/2026

i am utterly baffled as to how anyone manages to look at this site and then choose to share it ?? the banner looks like ai, then there's an ad in the intro of the post for "practical ai for game developers", which might prompt one to look around the site and see what the other posts look like and...

a blog post on the site PRODUCTION ALCHEMIST titled Production 101 - Start Here. There's some potentially AI-generated text on the page alongside a definitely AI-generated image.

(i want to be clear that it’s fine that she misread the comic panel, a lot of people did, there’s multiple reddit threads of people being like “what the hell was that ending” and needing it explained to them. it’s just wild that nobody was there to correct the mistake)

silentcrystaltears @silentcrystaltears.popelore.net · 02/08/2026

the screenwriter let slip that she entirely misread the last panel of the comic, which is telling because it shows how little involvement or input tom king had on the film because he’d have caught this (he’s corrected this misunderstanding publicly before)

The ending between Kara and Krem was always in it, from the pitch — truly from the very beginning. Because the comic ends in Ruthye killing him, but in the far, far future. We knew we weren’t gonna be able to do that kind of time jump, and I find it’s quite a dark ending of the comic. He essentially has changed, and she kills him anyway, because she still has this anger, and you understand there’s this element of deserve, right?

Hi Nick. As someone with no sex organs, I do not appreciate my culture being used as a shield for these allegations. We are just as capable of helping or harming people as anybody else. You need to take serious accountability for your actions.

I disagree, Ben. An LLM is not credible if it doesn't know that Alex Jones has died from some kind of bizarre head explosion alone in the drivers seat of his parked van.

i got the blue first, but if someone has made some different personal choices than you i could see it being harder than intended? the times has done the same kind of thing in connections but i think their audience may be a little more skewed in that direction.
