“Okay, one more time and it’s off to bed for the both of you. …‘Hey, Bob. Think there are any bears in this old cave?’…‘I dunno, Jim. Let’s take a look.’”

there is another world where you are a notorious judge on a hit show called "the worlds most delicious dip". you are the one who always says the dip or salsa needs to be spicier and they have shirts with you on it saying that

you see the cat, you go home, you look at yourself in the mirror, and watch your facial features flow around like mercury in the mirror. you just want to smash it

watching it move is like watching someone drop a 100 megapixel image onto a 256x256 gif. your brain slows down every time your eyes wander over its body. it looks scared, apologetic even. it radiates is-ness in a way that throws the unreality of its surroundings into sharp relief. it's awful

someone living in my apartment block has one of those expensive cats, the kind you only let out on a harness, apparently. but here's the thing - the cat is vastly more real than anything in the block. perhaps the city. like it exists at a higher resolution. you can _feel_ the visual density of it.

In most languages, you hunt allocations down with a profiler and they creep back the moment you touch the hot path. Jane Street's superset of OCaml lets you flip that around: annotate a function with [@zero_alloc] and the compiler refuses to build if anything in its call tree touches the heap.

The future is running linux to play games made in Godot and listening to music you paid to own on your digital music player and watching blurays from your collection on a device that doesn't connect to the internet.

Let's just agree to disagree on that :)

i am loving mina the hollower for the most part. but sometimes i get the sense that the designers have a very different sense of what is fun from me. like WHAT is with all the sections where it's hard to see where you're going or what you can stand on

(Some) writers appreciate LLM writing assistance but readers hate it. Survey says… writethatblog.substack.com/p/dev-reacti... If readers suspect AI, they not only stop reading, but also downvote/avoid the author.

Have you seen the trees in Grandia for the Sega Saturn? Why is no-one talking about the trees in Grandia for the Sega Saturn??

Get Linux, you can create keyboard shortcuts for just about anything.

Your reward for exploring every corner of our challenging game & engaging with its mechanics is your choice of: 1. becoming so powerful that you no longer need to engage with 3/4 of the mechanics, and can bumble through on muscle memory 2. a bunch of toys you can't touch, for fear of option 1

i decided to like basketball five minutes ago. it's always this fun, right?

Funny. Let’s go head t head on book learning.

one of my most techbro opinions is that yes: people should learn to program. in the same sense that people should do pottery. or write poetry. or draw pictures. or think about art in general. computation is a beautiful aspect of the universe that we are lucky to get to tangibly experience

lmfao well okay then i guess

Me immediately thinking of a context that would invalidate the generalization you just posted
