Mundane Halloween returns! Halloween is great, but the greatest part of Halloween is the annual "mundane Halloween" costume contest sponsored by Japanese website @dailyportalz Here is a thread of some of my favorites from this year...

Patrick Stewart story that I've told before: He did a few performances with The Improvised Shakespeare Company, one in New York (for about 15 minutes of the show) and one full show in Chicago. It was the upstairs at iO in Wrigleyville - maybe 100 seats. Nobody knew he would be there.

Since it appeared on Nintendo Indie World, a reminder that Spirit Crossing by Spry Fox uses AI, and the developer has refused to disclose it on their storefronts

So, hey, @spryfox.bsky.social's title, Spirit Crossing, sadly does in fact use GenAI. Dev's have confirmed as much in their Discord. There is a Claude file in the game files for the playtest that started a conversation about it, and sadly, that will be the end of it for me. I'm heartbroken...

Hi folks, sorry, I've been AFK with family in town today and only just noticing this AI conversation now, right before I was planning to go to bed!
Our designers and engineers are using Claude to make their lives easier; for example, designers will use Claude to help them make a change they want to make by editing dozens of config files quickly instead of painstakingly editing each file by hand. We do not use any form of genAI in any way to create content in Spirit Crossing. All the art, music, etc, is 100% human created. And will continue to be.
I personally also frequently use AI to research various topics online.

a while ago, i figured "i wanna play solitaire on my #playdate" so, i made it, ...and now you can play it! modes: klondike, spiderette, yukon, ??? lotsa: leaderboards, statistics, customizations, rule tweaks no: AI price: $7 MSRP; $5 if you get it this week catalog link: play.date/games/raes-s...

If I can recommend one thing to improve your mood, I would say start going out to early breakfast on the weekend. Seeing little old couples that chat with each other and every waiter, families in their Sunday best, college kids still in their pjs, it's such a simple joy.
