Writes some of the nastiest ToS-breaking YA snoff-smot ever dreamed and slips it into my executable's string table, so that if you ask claude to decompile it, it'll instantly *** then put you on the do-not-fly list.

welcome to the joke workshop! let's take a look under the hood and see why we bombed.. we had a good cadence, but you'll notice right away we gave away the game with "play." we didn't give the reader room to play in the space! it's tempting to salvage this with a lengthy follow-up, but you MUST N

Art is expression through the medium of effort. Humans evolved to value art because preferring the wisdom of your Freaks is a prevailing survival strategy. It's not just "artists," freaks are the people who wrote your municipality's fire code too.

pre-2026: I wanna invent cool graphical techniques and write siggraph papers and program procedural and physics systems and do game jams and-- post-slop: I'm just gonna use rpgmaker to tell a story

I get mad at photoshop for only being perfect 99.9% of the time, handing me a "vibe-coded" version of this program is like handing gorden ramsey that hunk of raw guy from the backrooms

drawing naked people doing things is definitely the brain surgery of art, in terms of difficulty and asking clients to identify shapes mid-job. By contrast, what I do is more uhhhh dentist's secretary? But I'll dabble. I'll do brain stuff in secret. Where was I going with this

Sorry for not posting in so long. The Big Natty-Stokes thing kinda sent me into a dark place. I don't even do Math, it's just hard to feel normal as the playgrounds we have get paved over one-by-one, y'know.

You can't code cause your robot is offline? I pull the ethernet cord out when I'm working on code. Sometimes I turn the whole computer off. I'll walk into the woods naked if I really gotta knuckle down. Lay down and let the bugs bud from my flesh into the worst C++ ever

learning how to make music... very quietly... in the background. It might take me a while, I'm so tone-deaf and. I feel like the first song I post has to be inexplicably good, but what I'm making is very explicably Bad lmao

"What level are you currently at" Did you know you can (and even should) hit several keys at the same time. This is called a "chord" and it's why every pianist has fingers shaped like that.

Just saw the end of TADC... it was really really good. No notes. It put me in a kind of depression, as most good stories do. Takes a beautiful post-story walk and barfs occasionally

I keep seeing this comparison, but guys... I promise that you pirating a song is not the same as ai companies siphoning the blood and bone of every musician on earth to build a machine that can kill hatsune miku.

my Zelda Opinion is that it should start you with like 20 hearts and every time you do a Thing you lose one until you only have 3 left. y'know like real life.

Ingrid is the best Streets Fighter because she is the only one who does not smell like Gym. Even Tifa smells a little like gym, you understand completely thank you

"How much money for you to throw away your principles" When I was young, I spent 2 years doing tech support for an ISP. Then one day, my supervisor sat on a call, and made me upsell McAfee AV to a sweet grandma.. I quit my job the next day. Iunno man I'd rather die than feel like that again lmao

The dad from Calvin & Hobbes would be immediately cool with Calvin and Hobbesmon going to the digital world. This is the metric I have chosen to rate all Dads against.

Fox McCloud fighting the Train Guy for the 5th iteration, feeling in his heart that he's been here before. No, that can't possibly be. But how did I know where each switch would be? My feet feel weird.

finally reached the OpenGL level of "could've been done in a game engine from 10 years ago" (this is extremely cute and hot of me, apparently, I read somewhere)

Should've hired me to delete your website accidentally, instead of claude. You could be strangling an actual person right now. My neck is so wringable, you could kill me easily and know my soul would burn forever. You cannot automate this.

(nerd nonsense) wrote a tool yesterday to build hitboxes from a pixel sketch. Has stuff to snap to nice slopes and figure out chorded circles and stuff-f-f-f
