Funny how in real life 2 people in the same group can have the same name and its just a thing that happens that you barely think about, but if you do that in fiction then there MUST be a "reason" for it

also curiously, this is quite similar visually to the one used in Sekiro

I need to talk to whoever at @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social decided that, rather than use the yellow paint gamers always complain about, they instead highlight climbable surfaces with bird shit, and if this was a calculated decision.

focus your effort on the people actually using it for dumb or evil reasons or everyone will just end up ignoring all criticisms of it

the end result of this is actually 0% different vs if I did it manually other than taking a couple hours less to do

"ew" how?

this use case in particular works well because
1. I dont care about the code quality of the script at all (its pretty ass)
2. its a thing I run once and can verify that the output is correct

chatgpt is very good at python these days. kinda spent most of the day having it write ad hoc scripts to migrate text from data files to localization spreadsheets for me. requires pretty specific instructions to do well now, but gets it all mostly correct without much prodding now

Game Previews used to BIG EVENTS.
So we're trying to make them that again.

A 35 minute deep dive into MEWGENICS featuring interviews, new gameplay and loads more dropping on noclip_2 tomorrow morning. Super proud of it.

thank god for the AI weather. How else would I know that today is a "great day to go outside, just bring a light jacket"?

There doesn't seem to be any way to get the default Weather app working again. clearing its cache and restarting it and reinstalling it and it just fails to get current location weather

its a mix of intuition and playtesting (either by ourselves or others), making a lot of games before this helps build the experience needed to have said intuition

Ed also posted a second "gameplay preview" video today. I will be recording one live later this month as well, where you will get to vote on what event and level up choices I make. This game is cool!
