You know that distinctive malaise you've been feeling from AI lately? Not the crushing doubt about the future, but the low-level dejection where seeing cool stuff online doesn't hit anymore? I figured it out. It's 'cause the Romantic Era of Making Stuff is ending.

POLTERGEIST (1982, Tobe Hooper)

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

Imagine making ZZT, a game that taught gamers the basics of game design through experience and self expression, and then yelling at people for not wanting to use AI to make their games the same week you launched a broken vibecoded software. This isn't valid criticism. This is AI psychosis.

if you’re a games company that wants to survive it has been proven over and over again you need to do whatever it takes to stay away from being publicly traded. you’ll be turned into wood chips the moment it’s convenient.

So I recently launched a game on @itch.io, I made it as a birthday present, but it was a good experience to "dog food" the platform since I haven't published a game in many years. I learned some stuff: leafo.itch.io/rock-declutt...

Why do I always think I can stay up later than my negative thoughts?
