SIT FORWARD. of the Devil - Episode 3 is coming this Fall.

Context really updates the perception of this scene

I have seen some takes that “it’s a big project, there’s nothing they can reasonably do to ban it” and honestly that’s just false. You can just ban it. Maybe you’re not able to perfectly enforce it, but you can make an effort. It’s not like contributions don’t already need to be reviewed anyway. 1/3

Well. This is incredibly frustrating.

I’d made two batches of pecan scone dough to use up some excess sourdough discard leftover from another recipe. One still sits in the freezer, awaiting its destined time. The second is shown here, which I feel came out nicely! If perhaps *slightly* over-baked, to compensate for freezing the dough

#TheAmazingDigitalCircus isn't she lovely (1/2)

A reminder with #SteamNextFest starting: You SHOULD install the extensions that pop up the AI Disclosure in Steam and ignore any game with it.

From the second we started TrueRef, I instantly started finding our POC refs turned white and redistributed in the wild.

a man walked up to me at pigcon and said that he followed me on social media for my games & was kinda introduced to transness through me & it actually really helped him when his daughter came out to him wrt being understanding & supportive & i stg i fucking melted into a fucking puddle on the spot 🥺

Big standouts to me: 1. inability to re-use solutions, just re-implement slightly-different functions each time a problem arises 2. code complexity only ever increases 3. lots of begging the LLM to behave, which of course it cannot because it is a statistical machine incapable of cognition.

saccharinescorpion.tumblr.com/post/7400608... Ryoko Kui's Distant Utopia short is the best criticism of "the gleepglorps stole me nan" worldbuilding/writing I've ever seen (and it really shows her train of thought with DunMeshi worldbuilding)

Apparently I’ve gotten onto that AI hater blocklist despite not even posting about it with all that much vitriol (here, anyway). I assume there’s some automation to the list curation; likes and follows may factor in. Wonder if there’s a way to trick ai bros into getting put on it somehow…

For #screenshotsaturday here's a sample of some mutant crop sprites I've been cooking up for my game, Polyculture Shock. These three are tomeltos, malachite apples, and potopticons. Now that I've got three knocked out, I feel like the latter sets the minimum bar for weirdness I wanna shoot for

I did some baking because too much is always happening and it’s a helpful source of joy; Charleston Chewies. Never actually had em before, despite growing up in SE-US. I hated anything with pecans, peanuts, or walnuts back then

I finished my game for the low-poly #ratjam, Rad-Rat! You run and jump around as a little radioactive rat and fight big robots (compared to you). There’s more I would‘ve liked to do with it before the deadline (I forgot to do most sounds), but I got some valuable lessons from it.

A bit late for #screenshotsaturday, but I've been working on a low-poly rat since my sister told me about a game jam themed around such rats about a week ago. I call them the Rad Rat. I didn't have much in mind for mechanics at the start so I'm sorta just tinkering (footage below)

I should probably talk about the game itself - when I say you manage mutant crops, I mean it. There's mechanics for them attacking each other, or mutating into different crops (which you may or may not actually want happening, depending on what contracts you have). (1/4)

Been working on a game about managing mutant crops in a distant post apocalypse to pay off treatment costs for excessive-cryostasis, and I got my first piece of character art put together this past week: Dr.* Shelly! (more art to follow) *not actually licensed #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev
