And we are live! Massive thanks to everyone who contributed to this. Reading your posts made me so much madder than I ever knew was possible

AO3 has the juice

Now that Swim Tweeney has laid off thousands of people he finally has the time to make fun of Gabe Newell for being gay

• No, everyone *isn't* using AI to do their writing for them. • Modernizing kids' books demonstrates massive contempt for kids. And for books. • He *is* an ugly fuck, and he should shut up. Have a nice day.

rizzless

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

Lots of decoration changes, made some of my levels look nicer. Also got a vid of the animated stars from yesterday. Oh yeah, and the demo of this game is available on Steam right now! store.steampowered.com/app/4551640/... Wishlist it or something #gamedev #indiedev

Wow, I actually did every thing on my to-do list today! This only happened because I didn't put too many things on it. I will not learn any lessons from this

My open air rooms were looking empty, so I added stars, which animate semi-randomly. I want to tweak the number/color/placement but this really helps. #gamedev #indiedev

even Musk's critics—even on the left!—rarely point out that he has committed a genocide that is expected to kill 14 million people. I think this is an oversight. I think it should be the main thing that comes up when we talk about Musk.

I have to redraw/redesign the world map because I'm dumb. Originally built all the "rooms" as squares in the map, but they're not squares in-game so everything was out of proportion. Oops. These pics are of the new/correct version #gamedev #indiedev

Diet Coke tastes better out of a plastic bottle and Coke Zero tastes better out of a can or glass. This is just science

My only participation in today's discourse will be to say that if you ever say or believe unironically that it's more fun on X, you are a Nazi. That place is the Nazi bar. If you can have fun there, you are one of them. "Oh I'm having fun mocking them!" in their bar, playing by their rules.

Was reading through this again and I keep coming back to a specific point these days: You say sure, some chatbots are bad, but Claude is really good for coding! Is it good enough? Is it good enough to justify the real harms this technology is doing? Is that acceptable? tante.cc/2026/04/21/a...

I will be a benevolent ruler, except for one edict: if you put "wait 'til the end" on your video and nothing shocking happens at the end you will be put to death. Nothing personal

What is "Things I told my therapist last Tuesday?" Can I have Ken Jennings wisdom for $400

Remember: we were never given credit for being right about crypto, we were never given credit for being right about NFTs, we were never given credit for being right about the metaverse and we will never be given credit for being right about AI. Fuck 'em up anyway.

I still sing "I like to eat, eat, eat, apples and bananas" to myself

Ever fucking green

I hear critical positions towards so-called «artificial intelligence» nowadays framed more and more as «rejectionism», and this is especially formulated as a critique of the left. The argument often goes something like this: Rather than seeing the potentials of AI, the left merely rejects it 1/

Alright, I've added teleporters to facilitate post-normal-ending travel. And then I immediately found a bug that crashes the game. Woohoo! Now I gotta figure out what I did wrong. #gamedev #indiedev

“We have made a technology that creates nothing but will ensure you have no future while we get richer and richer wait why are you boooing?”

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

The two types of anime fan are “As a rightist, I adore Gayqueer McTransmarx, a character I believe embodies conservative values,“ and “As a leftist, I’m a big fan of Hitlerhito Tokyonazi’s ’Manchuria Deserved It’ franchise.”

A common comment on my videos about LLM "hallucinations" is that this isn't as much of a problem because LLMs "cite their sources" now. This is a category error. Citing a source implies it was consulted. LLMs do not consult, even with RAG. A citation might be *included* but it's not *consulted*.

COSTCO: here, try this ME: oh yummy COSTCO: so you like it? ME: yes, it's delicious COSTCO: well, we don’t sell it anymore and you'll never see it again.

ELON: christopher nolin is desocrating Homer the Odyssey just to qualify for woke oscars award.. only thing he care is industy clout CHRISTOPHER NOLAN (looking at a bunch of clocks he's modified so they're all going at different speeds): haha yes.... hell yeah...

what are the Six Genders? wrong answers only

Rainn Wilson

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

1000+ puzzles is too many by an order of magnitude. Unless the average solve time is 2 to 3 minutes per solve, the game will overstay its welcome before the halfway point. The Witness only had 523! Did *anyone* in 2015 say "The Witness would have been good if it was 2x as long"? #gamedev

My demo recently went live on Steam! Download and try it for yourself! #gamedev #indiedev #steam

Working on some "special rooms" - described in Alt text. Also redrawing the entire world map and that is taking me for frickin ever #gamedev #indiedev

Finally got some more work in. Added a special item that can only be collected under very special circumstances (ooooooh secrets!) I feel so close to completion here. #gamedev #indiedev

sure gas is headed to $8/gallon but at least cornell got rid of their gender studies classes. or at least i think they did, i haven’t checked and if im being honest i wouldnt really know if they had or hadnt because it doesnt affect me but it makes $8/gallon gas all worth it

Who will speak out for the rich people hoarding property? 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

Playtesters were often confused because they began the game without the ability to jump. I've added this tiny, useless jump so players realize that they are intended to jump, but not yet. Hopefully this ends the confusion. #gamedev #indiedev

Working on a world map - drawing it is a bit of a pain and I feel like a lot of work will need to go into making it more legible, but at least now you're able to see where you are in relation to rooms you've explored. #gamedev #indiedev

Today's #gamedev lesson is make your games shorter. I started a new puzzle game a while back that I was excited for. 1000+ puzzles later and I'm still not close to done and I'm no longer excited for this game. Don't do this. Leave your players wanting more, not less.

Here's your psychic damage post for the day

These nested posts and replies gave me a pang of sympathy for people who refuse to vote for the lesser evil — — but it is actually a significantly different situation from the usual challenges gritting one’s teeth to vote for a Dem. 1/6

Am I still my age now or am I 7 again? Because if I'm 7 again I think I'll just play Nintendo

a reminder that a lot of the things people find unpleasant about cities - along with the noise and dirtiness - are largely a product of filling them with cars. get rid of the cars and the pleasantness of the environment improves dramatically

I'm struggling with this opening room. I need the decorations (table, bed, shelves) to visually communicate that you can stand on them but also that they are not fully solid and you can walk through them. This version is a bit noisy but I hope it's better than what I had. #gamedev #indiedev

I mean, on top of all this, no the Democrats didn't lose men? Even if you say "oh he meant cishet white abled Christian etc etc etc" it's still like, no, the Democrats still get plenty of those votes man.

If this technology ever exists, the slurs we will invent for people who ask AI to write self-insert porn will be legendary. I have yet to imagine a sadder life.

Bit of a technical, boring update. Changed the options menu to react to changes immediately, instead of after a "save" function. I did this because players were routinely confused by the old method, and rightly so. #gamedev #indiedev

There's one quote-unquote major bit of the game I need to put in, a secret area, and I'm working on it now. I need to balance it but it works for now and that's good enough for me. #gamedev #indiedev
