The older I get the more appealing the idea of being a swamp witch is. Like wow, that’s the one woman whose labor doesn’t get asked for free. you want a hex on someone sure you gotta pay first. You want me to do emotional labor for you, that’s called a potion you can purchase

A good reminder for all the indie game devs out there.

What we do is very difficult. It doesn't always work out the way we might hope. But you created something from nothing and put it out into the world. That matters. You matter.
I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but to any indie devs feeling bad because their game didn't sell or wasn't played as much as you wanted:

You still made a god damn video game. You did it, and that's harder than anything most people will do. I'm proud of you, you did great.

Some more astrophotography! I captured 885 x 30s exposures of The Pleiades - M45 (about 7.4hrs integration) with my Seestar S30, and processed the data in Siril, Graxpert, and Photoshop. This is an open star cluster and reflection nebula about 444 light years from Earth.

I feel this really captures the banality of genAI. At this moment in time, it seems to me the only value in creating another pong game is the act of learning how a basic video game is made (by making it yourself). Asking genAI to do that for you eliminates the only valuable thing about the task.
