Definitely not normal. I mean, how can a penguin drive a car, let alone create an Uber account and operate a computer or a telephone? I am 83% sure this is a hoax of some kind. To what end, I cannot say...
If I'm wrong, I welcome our new penguin overlords and I have many small pebbles for you all.

Ah yes, kowtowing to the bigots is the winning play... cowards.
SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan
Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

All the adorable NPCs people are posting of Silksong are past the UTTERLY BULLSHIT BOSS ENCOUNTER I'm stuck on

My 'time to frustrated quit' in Silksong is getting pretty short. Hollow Knight had difficult stuff and there are some bosses that I never beat because they were very difficult, but I never felt frustrated playing it, even when trying bosses for a long time.
Silksong frustrates me.

Ok time to piss off the internet because some people seem to think differing opinions means we're MORTAL ENEMIES or something...
I think Hollow Knight was better/more fun than Silksong*
*so far, with what I've experienced. Have not finished it yet.

new d&d campaign idea...
If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

This reminds me of some rando flat earth video where people are doing an experiment and come to the result that, yes the earth is curved. The takeaway: yeah that's not right, let me just change the result to what I expected. There we go, all good.

No thanks, shark will eat me.
It's a swimming pool... we're a hundred miles from the ocean.
Doesn't matter, shark will totally bust through the wall of the pool and eat me. I'll sit here on the safe concrete thank you very much.

There's a few nuggets here that get dropped, but don't really get the attention they deserve (maybe unintentionally). And, maybe contextualize things for students (this is aimed at students, I think). Would really recommend giving this several reads. Let it digest. Read again.

new blog post: turned my gdc 2025 level design theory talk into a blog post www.blog.radiator.debacle.us/2025/05/spac...
Space is not a wall: toward a less architectural level design
Maybe video game level design theory needs less focus on architecture? And maybe I'm part of the problem? My bad.

Maybe a pedantic POV, but "craft effective prompts" really rubs me the wrong way. If that's "craft" then we're all master craftsmen ordering fucking sandwiches at mcdonalds.
