Thought my eye sight was getting really bad but after looking into it, turns I might have a neural condition which produces a "visual snow". I kinda see darkness like this (and this can be dark colors in day light too). Sadly, this makes star gazing really hard 😔

I'd love to do more hardware stuff , even if it's just remapping things. First up, id like to get my wiimote working on my PC so I got a nest controller for the hose/plant watering game I want to make for myself

This is MAD useful - we are doing a rekky to potentially move in a couple of years. Currently house sitting in Clifton, was at a jazz festival in broadstairs last night. Ramsgate didn't grab us but we didn't see much of it. Also checked out herne bay but was pretty dead.

You know, I thought I saw you on Monday by a petrol station? Thought I was just hallucinating YouTube people I actually like

Do I know any game developers in the Margate/Ramsgate/Broadstairs area?

The good thing about aquatic ruin is that you don't always have to go underwater

This is going to result in a race to the funniest clone which means excess memes and dumb shit like skibadee toilet or whatever, isn't it

I can't wait for them to see what AI vomits out when they prompt "a video game like the last of us which has a good story but no women in"

Jamie D @uk-resistant.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
They certainly won't understand story, in particular stories told that are personal and about different experiences to their own. They just want halo but it's gears of war or no mans sky but star wars

You know when you watch a film or tv show, they have a made up game being played by someone and it looks shit & what a snob who has never played games before thinks what games are? That's what AI generative games from a single prompt will only ever be

These aI people don't understand that spouting a fantasy isn't game design. It's the feel of the controls, the physics of movement, the polish in the jump, the drifting of the car the hit flash of the enemy , the right SFX at the right time, the right story beat, the swelling piece of music etc

Jamie D @uk-resistant.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Seriously though, this is a good example of someone who only understands games to be hero fantasies rather than vessels of empathic story telling. It also misunderstands game design because how can you make a game about hopes & dreams if your spawn point is a Mansion you always wanted?

Jamie D @uk-resistant.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
I'd have thought his hopes and dreams would have been reached given that his spawn point is his mansion

As much as Adobe deserves to be dunked on I really hate the whole "hey claude please copy this software for me lmao" shit that's going around right now. We don't need vibe coded adobe copies when good alternatives already exist. I hate Adobe, and I hate vibe coding.

I find AI fascinating because no one can tell me how they have used it for anything good/useful where they don't end the conversation with "I have a paid course you can do". I
