I am a hater, and I will NOT be polite. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
Except from link:

I do understand: you want permission. There's a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don't look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn't notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you.
You don't need me to believe it's useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

#Unity question that I'm finding it very hard to google. I have multiple selectable GameObjects and I want to deselect all others when 1 is selected, and also erasilly get the curently selected one. I have a Controller that just has an Event they all subscribe to, but I feel there's a better way

Ran the first session of Eat the Reich this evening. Some highlights were: - Rolling a frag grenade into a lift full of Nazis just as the doors closed - Releasing a pile of Ghosts from a jar so they come up through the floor of a balcony and drain out the would of the soldiers there

Saw a thing recently about someone not liking casinos in RPGs as they were just more rolling dice. And I just finished playing a game of Illimat which is a card game from a fantasy world. Which made me wonder about making an IC game in a campaign and having the players play it as their characters!

“Make art for thirty sickos,” is good advice. “Be somebody’s sicko,” is GREAT advice. “Do both!” is better, still. Being part of a community is amazing. Yes, it takes work. You gotta support people in ways that are kind of labour intensive. Gushing over a buddy’s new thing is one of the best parts.
A screenshot of a tweet from Colin Broadmoor stating: The concept of the “mass audience” has had a largely deleterious influence on art. Create art for at most 30 sickos at a time.Stan Kelly originally illustrated this black and white cartoon image of a poorly-shaved man with his hands and face pressed against a glass window, wearing a shirt labeled “sickos” for the Onion newspaper. The man is clearly excited about what he is seeing.

my favorite gamedev thing is writing placeholder text for my silly little interfaces
Godot cropped screenshot. A confirm window, with Aye and Nay buttons. The placeholder question presented to the player is "This will kill the crab. Are you sure?"Godot editor screenshot, cropped. A confirm window with a Continue button says "I really wanted to stop the flow of the game to tell you this~"Godot editor cropped screenshot. A boss healthbar with no boss defined. It's white and displays a 99/99 progress bar. The placeholder boss name is, joculariously, "ayo bossman".Cropped Godot editor screenshot. A dialogue box with placeholder text. The character, using the Warden's portrait as default, is named "Six-foot-four man from Brussels" and he's saying "I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover, yeah"
Which are the lyrics to the famous hit song "Down Under" by Australian band Men at Work.

I have a problem, I want to make something that moves people, but I can't nail down what that is, and what I think it is changes basically whenever I see something that moves me. Play a great indie game? Watch an amazing drum/synth performance? Play a board game that tickles my brain? Read a book?

Will the detective investigating your murder be sad?
A spoof of an infographic showing a map of Europe, colour-coded by which countries will offer food to visitors. The caption is "Will the detective investigating your murder be sad?" The Nordic territories are labelled "sad", Northern Europe is labelled "sad & wet", Eastern Europe, Southern France and Northern Italy are labelled "sad and drunk" and the Mediterranean nations are labelled "sexy". It's less funny when you explain it, to be honest.

For basically as long as I can remember I've been trying to make my own computer game projects, and honestly it's not worked. So I'm thinking of pivoting to board games.
