And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary.
We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff.
Skill issue.

Great video that really highlights an issue with games writing: Gender is usually just a cosmetic toggle that doesn't actually change anything. Although screaming morons online still somehow get angry about it.
But Persona 3 Portable went all-in on having femininity change the whole tone of it.

Clover encounters a strange monk like individual in the pit, named Shade.
He says he's on a pilgrimage to the bottom, though Lucky notes he's seemingly blind and lacks almost any augmentation, which begs the question of how he plans on surviving the journey down. (Let alone how even got this far.)

Screw Tatooine: astronomers have found a binary star system where *both* stars have planets!
Well, maybe. But this is a cool story!

A binary star may have planets orbiting both stars

Just had to blow $200 on a new drive for the stream computer, so if you've been enjoying what I've been making (Anti ASMR, the pixelart, the twitch streams, tryin' to be a funny guy) it'd be a real great time to throw a couple of bucks at me.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

I've been working on adding a combat log to Torment Hexus. One downside: all of the stupid joke names I assigned to spells triggered by enemies/relics/statuses are now exposed for everyone to see. :( #indiedev #indiegame

A little bird told me that there's a comic here for you to read!
Wondermark #1370; The Avian Informant (Part 1 of 2)
Wondermark #1370; The Avian Informant (Part 1 of 2)
![A man in an apron, aptly named Apronni, addresses his coworker:
APRONNI: JULIORA! A little bird told me it was your birthday next Wednesday!
Juliora comes in to reply.
JULIORA: A little bird? Like, a BIRD bird? TALKED to you?
APRONNI: Yeah. Came to my window last night around eight.
Now we see a little pigeon perched on the sill of an open window. Apparently Apronni lives in a barn, or something like a barn? It’s not entirely clear.
BIRD: Pssst. Hey buddy. [Apronni enters.] She’s been looking at ski boots on Zappos. Do what you will with this information.
Back in the office now, flashback over.
JULIORA: Because I’VE seen a little bird too! It let me know when a Zumba class opened up in my area!
ENTREBERT (entering with his hands held a pigeon’s width apart): A little bird? About yea big? Knows a lot about when jeans go on sale? Yeah, I’ve seen ‘I’m!
APRONNI: I guess it must be the same little bird visiting everyone!
Cut back to the bird, still on the windowsill. Part of the flashback from earlier? It’s not entirely clear.
BIRD: I’m very tired](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kihgsldesfdvdp7fi65m3m45/bafkreibsyythulynv4ub447jbqlnjqofsiykphmyxm7bf66duxcgjxopba@jpeg)

On 20 October 2015, someone shot the sheriff of a makeshift little town. Today, almost exactly a decade later, we learn who did the deed. deadwinter.cc/page/678
Over the past ~12 years I've hidden little clues to a murder mystery in between other plot threads. Give it a reread & guess who it was!

take any bailout money and give it out as grants to the poorest people to start businessess in their communities
my hot AI take is that regardless of how we feel about it, bailing out the big AI companies may be *necessary* to avoid long-term systemic harm to real people
as always, the system acts too late to contain the blast radius
