Not spicy at all. People who do this are actually just amateurs. Anyone who has actually worked hard on games for a long time knows that *any* game is incredibly difficult to make and respects the craft. People who do this are real losers.
Oh man I just made the funniest post on my own social network! There are some really quality posts there! No I won't share them!
I watched this (youtu.be/TMoz3gSXBcY?...) on the abuse of LLMs & 'vibe physics' by @acollierastro.bsky.social - well worth a watch! - and I was struck by how the back 15 minutes (the 'thought train') also summed up neatly what it has been like to be a public-facing historian, even before LLMs.1/

I'm not going to use the word binge in relation to watching TV. Or really in relation to anything. It's not a positive word, it doesn't conjure feelings of joy.

I'm reserving my best posts for my own social network now and it feels like I've figured something out. Feels good to feel like I'm contributing to something valuable that will last. It's something I've been missing.

Here's an example of the kind of scam you get when you register a company. Looks like a legit government wmform but it's just a scam trying to get you to pay for something that is actually free to file. The company name is "501-CORP".
What do people use for gamedev version control today for small/medium/large projects? I thought the medium/large were still Perforce, but I'm hearing that many people are using Git+LFS now?
PSA: Slack will auto-enable AI features on all your workspaces in two days (July 17th) unless you opt out. They describe opting out as "fine tuning the settings".
I'm lichen this!
Brandon Sheffield@brandon.insertcredit.com · last yr.Did you know there's a whole subsection of bluesky that's just people posting photos and information about lichen? Stuff like that feels like the old internet survives to some extent. (e.g. @lotuscat.bsky.social @fungiwithbengi.bsky.social @peterbraubach.bsky.social

Look, I've already asked you to stop using my high-school nickname and is appreciate it if you would respect my wishes.
Do you consider mutuals to be more trusted than non mutuals you follow on socials?
You can despise someone's politics and also acknowledge a tragedy when children die. Children are not responsible for the actions of their parents and they don't "deserve" anything but love and care. If some gloat over people dying in the LA fires, doing the same thing makes you the same as them.
Everyone on here knows that the BlueSky developers are fully into AI and crypto right?
What is this "not bacon" stuff? I can't identify it:
Eating my breakfast with my hands in New York like a native New Yorker.
Got annoyed with YouTube shorts sucking my time so I wrote a local chromium extension to kill them with fire.
Live music for Macy's 4th of July on NBC the background is totally dark, but out of t the window in NYC is still light. What is this conspiracy!?!? What are these lies!
