coquette dragoon is not optimistic, yet i read it as somehow life affirming despite its recognizing and delving into the contradictions of modernity. everything is fucked but we get to hang out. and, the girls are cute... you need more kilgore in your life

Coquette Dragoon is 20% off for the Itch Halloween sale~ It is not a horror game at all. But also the specter of neoliberal cultural bloodlust is kind of scary and it's about that a lot of the time. burgeroise.itch.io/coquette-dra...

Today would’ve been my friend Tom Matano’s 79th birthday. Tom designed cars like the NA Miata, NB Miata, and FD RX-7. If you love Miatas, you have him to thank for many things that make them special. It’s important to remember people. Thank you for remembering Tom with me today

I've seen a lot of programmers really disrespect themselves thinking that genAI is "fine" when it comes to coding or w/e because it's not "art" Programming is an art. It requires creativity. And you're literally programming graphics, it's visual art. It's just art. It counts. AI coding is AI "art"

Enterprise software companies had a short-lived run where they competed on usability and product-led growth which seems to be over. Now every SaaS app seems to be converging on the same UX monstrosity, complete with AI features of dubious value.

I keep seeing people complain about Google docs spell checker being awful and my main question is why the fuck would you use Google docs in the first place
