there's no feeling i can imagine more hollow and depressing than letting something inhuman churn out any part of something i want to make. moreover, anyone for whom this is "the dream"- to cut the corners that shape the teeth of our art- is not somebody i'm interested in ever working with.

play Formless Star!!!!!

umm definitely not a confession in there or anything...

blanksword doodles :3 💌 everyone get more angelsona right now.

i'm so very tired of hearing about AI. please play the demo for the game i'm helping out with and talk about that instead. for me store.steampowered.com/app/3484670/...

saw some birds today

The gorgeous fluffiness of a winter group of long-tailed tits; perfection in bird form, surely? #birds

(Ozymandias, finishing his abstract sculpture in the desert) Oh man, these vast and trunkless legs of stone and half sunk shattered visage are probably my best work yet. Everyone's going to be so jealous. I'm gonna put a plaque here talking about how awesome I am. I deserve it

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

if i don't write for my own sake often enough, i feel like i'm dying of a lack of some essential nutrient. that's been the case for as long as i can remember. kid me roleplayed on forums, teen me wrote overwrought romance and horror, and adult me mostly makes poems, puzzleboxes, and short stories

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

The Larian thing really shows how video games is the medium most susceptible to AI. They keep demanding the faces of the industry to make bigger and bigger games even though they're barely sustainable as is, so they resort to stuff like AI and crunch and normalizes them for smaller projects.

In 2026 I hope you get freakier and get plenty of money and become the cutest or scariest you wanna be and that your hard earned talents and hobbies reward you endlessly

oh how I love this miserable little man (from @ggdg.bsky.social's Soul of Sovereignty) #soulsov

new concept: fool-assisted speedrun a prolific and storied speedrunner plays a game together with someone who's never played the game. the speedrunner has to listen to all of their advice

this is my first time making my own chart for this technique instead of following an existing pattern. think it turned out pretty good #BLANKSWORD

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.

this is maybe one of the most insidious modes of AI use and apologia, because whether you comprehend it or not, you are driving your work toward genericism, to become a complete parody of itself. if an LLM is helping you explore ideas, it's just feeding the genre back to you.

Alex Epstein writes a lot of thoughtful stuff about narrative, and I was fascinated to read about him wrestling with the ideas of social conflict in the context of computer games. Specifically, I like his framing of “dramatic dialogue” complicationsensue.blogspot.com/2025/12/conv...

Also, like, aside from feeling violated, doesn't this just highlight how freakish people can be with regards to media. Just LIKE A THING you fucking loser. You don't have to be friends with the characters. Just LIKE IT. Touch grass you pathetic dipshits.

in sweeter news, i'm still the best to ever do it as a ttrpg GM [i am feeling exceedingly proud of my players for utilizing poetic transitions during our game as a reliable source of experience points]

politely asking the month of december to be kinder to everyone in my life

後でまた加筆するかもだけど一旦上げちゃう

it is the one-year anniversary of soul of sovereignty: prelude. thank you for being kind to my freaks for a whole entire year. #soulsov

chapter 1 of soulsov, my very good visual novel, released two years ago today. thank you to everyone who's read it! if you haven't read it, please read it. if you only read chapter 1, please read chapters 2 and 3 (they're better...!) gigidigi.itch.io/soulsov

fun dialogue i think is my funny button for getting into a game

when it rains it pours. bottom text we're gonna probably need more help if you can share this around gofund.me/a560bef4d

Dunno why mobsters are always threatening this. It looks lovely
