Formal affordances are the elements that pull a player toward certain actions, they “cry out” for the player to take those actions. Material affordances are the actions a system actually allows the player to take. Agency occurs when the two are in balance. (Mateas 2001)

conventional wisdom for the entire time i've been programming has always been "less code is better". the idea that we must write more code faster is ridiculous. the problem has never been rate of output

"Quest", a 6-panel tiny & Tall comic strip.

Panel 1: tiny, a sword & board adventurer, prepares to assault a dark tower. In his speech bubble, a search icon and the keyword: "gLORY".

Panel2: He ascends a flight of stairs, fighting off skeletons that spout "...ver our excusive offers!", "sponsored conte..." and "subscribe to the newsletter to..."

Panel 3: Atop the stairs, a dragon's blazing "IT APPEARS YOU ARE USING AN AD BLOCKER." sends tiny running.

Panel 4: Undaunted, he uses a vine to climb to the tower. On its wall, the words "subscribe now or log in to continue reading (too much/month)".

Panel 5: At long last, the treasure room! Only a pool of vicious fishes separated him from the chest. The fishes all have "comment" written on them.

Panel 6: Alas, in the chest, tiny finds only a jester, Tall, who says:
"were do u find **glory**???? - posted on 19/03/2011, 0 replies."

Ballpoint pen on paper. A man in his PJs is tucked into his bed. He's upset because the bed has been lifted off the ground by a pack of small, mischievous creatures. We can only see 9 of them in the image but there are likely many more since they're all working together to lift the heavy bed frame. As the creatures run with the bed they chant, "hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup." The man in the bed wants no part of this. "Put me down. No more hups," he says. It's unclear where they are going or what is happening. There is no punchline. There is little to no context. You're either with the hup team or you're out. Thank you for reading these.

Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 oom less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend.

Important à garder à l'esprit. Y a pas de crise du jeu vidéo. L'industrie se porte bien. Y a une crise de l'emploi dans le jeu vidéo parce que les exécutifs et investisseurs font de la merde et que le système leur permet de foutre la merde pour que seuls les travailleurs subissent les conséquences.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see a dragon sitting on a pile of treasure. A speech bubble pointing off panel reads, “Dragon, why do you have all this treasure?”
In the second panel we zoom in on the dragons face. He simply says “shiny”.
In the third panel we pan to the left and see that there is a crow standing next to the dragon on the treasure.
In the fourth panel we zoom in on the crows face. He says “hell yeah”.

La semaine dernière, j'ai fait un dessin sur le port du voile qui fait couler beaucoup d'encre (pixels ?) sur instagram. Notamment d'hommes qui se découvrent soudain une âme féministe. Ça m'a rappelé ce dessin que j'avais réalisé en 2016 suite à une polémique sur le burkini.
Bd en 4 cases. Un homme regarde la tv. On devine un bébé qui pleure plus loin.
La télévision dit : Le débat sur le burkini fait rage aux 4 coins de l'hexagone. 
L'homme dit : non mais quelle honte. À quoi en sont réduites ces pauvres femmes.
Tandis que le bébé continue de pleurer, L'homme dit : Muriel, y a le gamin qui chiale.
La femme qu'on ne voit pas dit : 2 minutes,je m'occupe du gigot.
Le bébé continue de pleurer. Lhomme s'énerve : MURIEL, LE MÔME,  MERDE !
La femme répond : voilà voilà, j'y vais, t'énerve pas !
L'homme regarde la tv et dit : Rho regardez moi ça,  ça me fend le cœur de voir comment ces esprits moyenâgeux traitent les femmes. Ça doit être mon côté féministe.

There were some incredible posts at the height of the NFT bubble

@TaschaLabs

If you make a NFT of a real diamond, and the diamond itself gets destroyed in a fire tomorrow, you still have the same asset.

Because the token still exists and is in limited supply just as before. Nothing has changed.

What NFT is doing to the concept of asset, few understand.

A New Color (1/5🧵)
Page 1: A man is walking home, smoking a cigarette, being quietly trailed by a UFO above him. As he enters his apartment, two aliens watch from inside the ship. Alien 1, who has a large head, says, “that’s him. Let’s move.” Page 2: The man walks upstairs as the aliens watch from the entrance of the building. The man enters his apartment and greets his little dog. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.Page 3: he peers through his peephole, and sees the two aliens standing in the hallway. Alien 1 is holding a briefcase. From behind him, the voice of alien one: “don’t scream.” Page 4: The aliens are seated across the room on the man’s couch. Sadie is in her bed next to them. Alien 1 says, “you’re not in any danger. Have a seat.” The man looks at his dog and thinks, “sadie is unusually calm.” Alien 1: don’t scream, or it’s a problem.
