Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.

Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.
I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

Well this sucks, what the fuck, letters

Dave's Word Game coming soon from @bearwaves.com - find words, get high score from line/block clearing. As much about geometry and planning ahead as word searching.

Endlight is 50% off ($10CAN/$7.50US). If you're EST, you've got 6.5 hours to prepare! If you're in Tokyo ... look just buy it. This "Right To Replay" has been fine tuned and I hate hate HATE the final level. At the time I thought it was funny (it has Infected Hoops), but NOPE.

It's official! IndieCade selected me as this year's recipient of the Bernie DeKoven Big Fun Award. I was over the moon when they told me 🥲

Bernie's work is foundational to so much of the work that inspired me, so to be considered a part of what he began is the most incredible honour 🧡
Congratulations to @agaitcheson.bsky.social for receiving this year's Bernie DeKoven Big Fun Award! Featuring everything from alt. controllers to painting, dance and clowns, your stage shows and livestreams give everyone the chance to take creative control!

I suspect even if I finish The Game before Christmas - I'm definitely on the final lap now - it probably won't be a good time to put it out - early January then?

And once it is done, the final part of Black Prince will be posted.

why, no, these aren't related at all why would you think that

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

13 Mar 2021, 6.23pm: I wonder what shit they're getting up to in Doctor Who, I don't even like the series, but just curious (clicks a Who video on YouTube)

Every day since: don't recommend this Who channel, don't recommend this Who channel, don't recommend

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Wondering if I should leave my Black Prince series without an end, because that feels kind of fitting when paired with how Blue Prince felt in the late game

Okay I have watched this now and spent much of the time nodding in agreement. I have a bad neck now.

I haven't watched this yet - I plan to do it over six months to show respect to how long it took to make - but I'm pretty sure it'll be good watching. It might even be spicy.

I've been writing down a list of all the changes to the game I make each day because I've been at this so long that I am starting to forget whether I did something not. I'm also putting changes down by date so I feel the weight of progress being made.

All spoilery stuff blurred.
