Also, coming back to say that getting the Belmont's Curse demo + the Arjun Gameplay Primer on my birthday are gifts specifically for me, and I appreciate them in the spirit they were given. Amen, hallelujah, and peanut butter.

Byakuya Senmetsuken/Lunar Requiem is also just a fucking sick name for a Mystic Art too. Easily one of my favorites the franchise has to offer.

Yep, pretty much. It sucks, it's terrible, and that's precisely why white queer folk have to get with the program and start being aware of how "soft bean uwu" life turns into a way of ducking responsibility when a fuck-up happens that they get to use and non-white people *don't*.

Suffice it to say that recent events in my personal life have caused me to think about everything Orion says in this thread. If you're white and you follow me, read it. The whole thing. And don't stew in guilt about it or anything; just reflect and move different. That's all I'm asking.

Carter's Quest is legit one of the greatest accomplishments to come out of the solo-dev scene and the fact that something so spectacular, as game, as narrative, as experience, might never be completed because of lack of attention is an indictment on the way we talk about and engage with indie games.

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 23/09/2026

Jamaican Patwa and Japanese, though neither exceptionally fluently. Patwa is a lot easier when I'm not thinking about it too hard; my Japanese has fallen off a lot, but I still have the basics floating around in my brain (my keigo is unfortunately super scuffed).

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 18/09/2026

Pretty much. It's a learning opportunity that you're throwing out because it's more important that you do it fast rather than do it right. Ratfucking yourself for what?

010

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 18/09/2026

Fuck the boosters, at least, but good that the numbers on balance are still tilting toward people actually doing the work themselves. That gives me a lot of hope.

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 18/09/2026

Understandable, my notifications are still blowing up about it. Sorry, I wasn't expecting people to pay that much attention to what I haf to say either

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

I understand being tired of writing boilerplate or what have you, but especially in a field where the understanding of *how* a thing is put together is so important, you cannot afford not to understand and record the mechanisms of how the thing works. It is literally too expensive. Don't. (end)

2585

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

I really do not care how much of an expert programmer you are. If you are actively feeding any of your code into Claude or whatever, you're self-sabotaging, because either you'll have to wind up fixing it later or you're doing the review you'd be doing with human code anyway. >>

1474

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

All it takes is for you to get garbage out with *one* thing from Claude, & you are immediately more likely to cause a cascading failure of shit that you then have no clue how to clean up because *you* aren't the one who wrote that code. You have surrendered your ability to make decisions. >>

1484

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

Like, no matter what you are hypothetically using this shitass technology for, the thing I want to impress on you is that in addition to literally ALL of the other issues with this tech is very simply that *you are not building the skills to make something that lasts*. >>

1495

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

The thing that also gets on my nerves about this is how people are rushing whole game recompilations through Claudeslop and getting defensive about it when, very simply: you are building on sand. You are demonstrating that you do not have the discipline to maintain what you're "building". >>

1508

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

I've said this before but I'm not looking at something like Intellisense on the same level as using Claude Code or whatever. Having something that is suggesting autocompletes from the libraries you have access to is not trying to write entire functions for you from scratch. >>

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

Y'all who have been here for a minute know what type of time I'm on but for the record, if you indulge in the type of behavior Aura's describing below, then yes, you are part of the problem. And I'm not trying to be hyperbolic here, just listen to the thing I'm saying. >>

114731

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

Yeah, pretty much. A thing I think I strive for in relationships, platonic or otherwise, is that I think it's important that each person is their own person, and that those individual expressions of self wind up making the relationship itself stronger.

010

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

But someone who knows the local community, knows how to get active in it without getting too lost in the sauce? Even if I'd get a little anxious at first or they get a little preachy sometimes (I'm guilty of this too) I think I could trust someone like that to help me navigate the worst of it. (3/3)

110

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

"Balance out" here meaning that I'm also a homebody (which is part of why I wouldn't mesh well with 2; I don't entirely *mind* traveling but a lot of it back-to-back is really uncomfortable for me) and I admit I'd worry about feeding that with someone who also is a homebody. >>

110

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

3 and 1 are tied, though I admit I'd probably give the edge to 3 because having someone who knows the local community and would likely help me get to know the local community is a big one for me personally. 1 trends closer to my interests but I also realize that they might not balance out. >>

I was saying somewhere else that despite the shenanigans when he got the Grammy for rap that one time he's somehow managed to consistently be a pretty decent dude as far as I can tell. the bar might be in hell but he takes pretty big steps above it

My Ultimate 2 was pretty good up until the trigger crapped out; I don't use wireless controllers on principle so connection issues never got me. I can only assume I was either rough using it or it didn't do well in a backpack one time too many but I have no clue.

010

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 13/09/2026

(No advice, just expressing annoyance/amusement) So I probably won't stream tonight, because I want to replace the analog cover on the old controller and bring it out of retirement but need to wait on that. I would've reprogrammed the RT to the "R4" button but that doesn't work for Granblue orz.

010

Sean H. @sjhdoesgames.blacksky.app · 13/09/2026

(No advice, just expressing annoyance/amusement) Somehow, this cheap, off-brand wired gaming controller has outlasted the 8bitdo I got, because the 8bitdo's right trigger mechanism went straight to shit and I don't have the tools to try opening it myself. Peak "outrun the bear" hours. >>

Even as someone who was popping off about New Metroid New Metroid later, I honestly respect this answer from Alex Hirsch and I kinda wish the fandom would too. Things are allowed to end. Fanworks exist to let you explore around the things you're curious about. >>
