this is so true! I don't WANT to make shit about gender studies, there's WAY more qualified and patient people out there to do that!! But there's this weird expectation that if you're a trans creator you're just making educational shit focused on trans issues and frankly it blows

Whimsy saves lives and that's not hyperbole. When people in power want us to despair, it's a lifeline to your humanity and joy. Get more whimsical right now

look I'm not saying all game designers have to be autistic or on a spectrum but if you can love anything in this world whole-heartedly the way some people love trains, your game design abilities will probably benefit. including trains. it is known.

Here's what I actually think these incidents reveal (instead of a rogue AI terminator situation): Much of the infra we expect to be hardened is actually being held together by glue and popsicle sticks.

AI can now detect, automate, and chain together exploits faster than any human hacker can. That is significant. Which means that the system vulnerabilities once considered not so low hanging fruit are actually very low hanging.

'It's hard to judge the games the same way once you try to make one' Is so real. Some people have a hard time saying something sucks once they've been there. I'll still say it, but outside a few examples, it's almost affection. The context and conditions of creation matter so much.

In honor of Dolly and her commitment to getting books to kids, tell me about a book you read as a child that changed your life. I’ll start: so many, but tonight maybe I’ll say A WRINKLE IN TIME, a book that taught me anger wasn’t wrong.

this scenery got me into watercolor art on its own.
Concept art from Final Fantasy 6, by Yoshitaka Amano, rendered in watercolor. Set against a blue sky which bleeds into smoky yellow plumes of dustclouds below, an ethereal castle rises high in the sky.

i didnt touch on it in my post but after the movie we were talkin about how insane it is that Ghibli's legacy in culture at large is this image of wholesome, quaint tranquility and like... their best works are potent and angry movies. Screams of desperation in no way cloaked or dulled.

I am vastly more interested in specific ways it causes people mental damage and behavioral problems, but none of these are "it makes you kind of suck more when it's gone because you got used to it" which is literally all good tools, you gotta be more specific

Like maybe it's some other kind of addiction, sure, but this is also exactly the behavior you would expect to see if it was simply any useful tool of any kind.

I don't find the "AI tools train you to rely on them" thing very compelling, like yeah, that's how good tools work. It sucks when someone takes away your phillips screwdriver or your autocomplete IDE or google search for APIs. What you're saying when you say it is actually "It's a good tool."

I think this is a big gap in software design culture. There's lots of commentary on visual design and micro-interaction, but remarkably little explicating conceptual and structural design. This section from Magic Ink is lodged in my mind. buff.ly/Bl9JwTv

my main job as an engineering manager is twofold 1. take responsibility for saying say bad engineering that's too bad needs to be better 2. take responsibility for saying good engineering that's too good can be worse i exist to curb excess when we stray from the golden path

So... About that new Deltarune chapter, huh? I don't think I'll ever forget it. ...Got it, Princess? #deltarune #ralsei #art
Ralsei, blushing, tugging at her scarf with pink and yellow drink tickets in her other paw. Behind her is a pink and yellow inferno, while she is bordered by pink and blue outlines. This is a Transfem Ralsei this as usual.

The text "GOT IT, PRINCESS?" consume the upper half of the screen, while further text fills the background.
"No one can do the impossible" -Ralsei
"Says the impossibility himself" -Flowery

"Don't you LIKE serving humans?" -Flowery
"YOU. are NOT! A HUMAN! You're just... pretending to be something you're not!" -Ralsei
"Oh? Ralsei, wanna tell them what's wrong with that?" -Flowery
"I... It's your purpose to be a flowery. You... Can't run away from that." -Ralsei

"This whole time, I did it thinking... it'd help you realize you could be happy. Instead it just made you jealous. ...That we don't have to follow your silly little rules." -Flowery
"You wanna know what happens if I don't follow the rules? EVERYTHING! WILL FALL! APART! You... You think I want it to be like this?!" -Ralsei
"Then what... DO you want?" -Flowery

You don't even need to be loud about it (haters rise to match in opposition), just... live as the person you wanna be. Do it scared if you have to, but do it. It's better than being scared AND not getting to enjoy being yourself. That's just... miserable and sad. You deserve better than that.

Haters also get real quiet when they know you absolutely don't give a fuck what they think. You'd be amazed at what an aura of quiet confidence and self-love can do to silence the negativity. Once they know you wont take their shit, they usually give up or they reevaluate soon after.

Incidentally can everyone please be cool with Shen no matter what they decide? It's bad enough to have Jax discourse for two months, I really don't want to see it happen to a human being, where they announce "I figured it out! I'm this!" and people got too invested and go, "FUCK OFF, NO YOU'RE NOT!"

I woke up this morning with toxic godzilla yuri in my head
Godzilla and king ghidora are depicted as monster women arguing with homoerotic subtext. Both have some of the monsters' characteristic features with gojira having her tails, spikes, and some scales and ghidora have her horns, tails, 3 heads, and some scales. Gojira is heavyset and musclebound with punkish clothes and ghidora (heads labeled as "King", "Dora", and "GiGi" is wearing a golden suit with the coat draped around her shoulders to emulate her wings
