Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I seem to be constantly playing with the water shader but I think I'll stop now

I've never wanted something less. I've been using Linux on one of my PCs for a couple of months now with no issues so I'll be continuing down that road

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night... 🤘 🖤

Overworld progress has been great this week

3rd or 4th iteration of level select area for chapter one? By far my best efforts so far, still needs some work though

Damn, made this decision over 12 months ago and it's only starting to take shape into something resembling a game again. Getting there slowly though

Did another quick painting this arvo. Still like doing the Tower of Babel

Maybe the reason corporate types like AI art is because it closely resembles design by committee. It's just every idea ever put in a blender and what you get out is a beige goo

LIFE HACK: Answer your phone "Hello you're on the air" and 99% of the time people will just hang up.

Me in my blood echo chamber

Proper cotton watercolour paper is a bit of a game changer. Much nicer to work with

Sorry We're Closed is OUT NOW!!! Our story-driven survival-horror game! You play as Michelle, a young woman trying to escape the clutches of a demon desperate for love! Please share/leave a review! We're a small team! Every bit helps💖! youtu.be/iOloSjEkpqk store.steampowered.com/app/1796580/...

More paintings today

📢 Indiedevs, you can now add Bluesky social links to your Steam page!

HEY NERDS. Update your drivers ASAP! NOW. LIKE RIGHT NOW. Remote code execution vulnerabilities are no joke. www.pcworld.com/article/2504...

Compared to how I felt at the start of the week today I am feeling pretty darn good! Bring on the weekend!

Alan Moore continues to know the score.

If I wanted to try out a Devil May Cry game and haven't played any which one do people think is most fun?

As part of reworking Monocular Odyssey I'm making more chapters but shorter to better exemplify one specific mechanic without it getting old. Previously chapters were 20 levels and later levels were feeling repetitive. 8-10 levels is seeming like the right fit. Still lots to do

I can't overstate the importance of sharing the content of people you enjoy on here. With all the Twitter and Threads fucked algorithms it didn't make much of a difference. This is a completely different ball game. Repost your arse off.

Monocular Odyssey has some pretty complex movement code and last night I discovered walls had stopped working. Probably been like that for months... Maybe over a year... Anyway it is fixed now

I'll be updating the Monocular Odyssey demo once the level updates are done. Until then you can still play the original demo on itch suggo.itch.io/monocular-od...

More little watercolour paintings. Glimpses of improvement every now and then :)

Did some little character sketches for next game. Might be procrastinating level reworks a little

New hub world on the way

I am struuuuggling to get used to new MS Outlook. if you left click on a misspelled word in an email to fix it, the 'fix spelling' menu pops up and when I push keyboard buttons it activates shortcuts instead of typing in the email I am writing. backspace will remove emails from your inbox. Perfect!

I don't know if I should feel pride or shame but I guessed today's framed.wtf based on the first clue. I have only seen the film once

Is it just me getting old or is UX just going down the toilet with modern software and websites. Websites have all kinds of redundant crap in them and new MS outlook is worse and/or slower at most the things old outlook does

Only listened to a small portion of the braid commentary and I'm already realizing the ways in which I need to fix Monocular Odyssey... So I guess I'm remaking a bunch of levels now and implementing a more interesting chapter system. Now all I need is the time and energy to do it

I'm sure it's just because I like Vagrant Story so much but something about the visuals in No Rest For The Wicked gives me Vagrant Story vibes and I'm all about it

Adding palm trees to some of the levels, starting with the level select area
