I say iPads, but really it’s the software: I think the last fifteen years of consumer software design has basically been asbestos for the mind. A bunch of “best practices” for commercial objectives are basically fucking poison.

Okay seriously damn this game is COOL. Like, just, COOL.

A sleek spin on afro-futurism (including the excellent music), a remarkably solid gameplay loop that's both cerebral and frantic, a premise that hasn't gotten nearly enough visibility, and a wonderful array of African accents all the way.

Almost emotional to listen to this - as a huge Imogen Heap fan, it's been disheartening to see her flush herself down the NFT/AI drain, so to hear someone flawlessly continue where she left off is nothing short of extraordinary.

In a world of cookie cutter EDM, you owe yourself a listen to this.

Surprised to see this is from 2011, because this definitely has the energy of the 90s "the safety was completely off"-era.
if you've never heard the end credits song for Aliens Infestation on the Nintendo DS

I beg you to stop and listen right now

it's important

Interesting to read given that a lot of the current sales messaging is that "ai unleashes creativity".

Yet, clearly, this person does not enjoy the creative process; the curiosity, adaptation and tinkering required in order to get anywhere. I'm not even sure they know what it is.

NEW VIDEO OUT!

I used to think that my feelings on games looking more unique when I was a kid was mostly nostalgia. Turns out I was just right all along. This is a video about that.
Yes, games really WERE cooler years ago

Pleasantly surprised to learn that this video is actually about cool game UI (among a dozen other topics, it's a chaotic watch)

The most important point here is that the primary reason we're getting less varied and experimental interfaces in games is... the economy

Okay so first off shoutout to SUN coming on stage in a satin tutu with massive guitar and then ripping through a metalcore version of "Survivor" by Destiny's Child, later explaining that she "liked both Spice Girls and Morbid Angel growing up and didn't really want to pick".

This little [pun intended] pet project has been one of my fragile little joys of the recent turbulent times; I've known Mulm for almost 20 years and always wanted to work with her on something, and seeing her happiness and excitement about this has been genuinely rewarding.
After one year of development the first milestone is done actually 😭 Holy shiiit. So for full context on how crazy this is, I have a long history of starting projects and running out of steam so the 1 yr milestone is..mad. I also did not know javascript and three.js was new to me 🫡
