"contribute data so we can offer more AI stuff" the dream they are selling here, to generate and manage tickets more "efficiently" to get better uh business outcomes or whatever, is a dream that can be solved by just not having worst-in-class UI -- AI does not need to come into this??

oh man, Pikmin^2 just got a huge update!!! i've been playing that romhack a lot lately _anyway_! i might have to stream some of the new version with Louie's campaign randomized

been having a rough time lately and rewatched Bigtop Burger this morning. it's a nice reminder that a lot of negativity in the world comes from the obedience of normal people, whether out of fear or the promise of rewards. sometimes one person saying "NO!" can make a big difference.

Ducky Sokoban DX has over 500 browser plays as of this morning! That's really encouraging because it isn't a jam entry and AFAICT hasn't been featured or anything, people just organically like it. So uh... Thanks! 🥹

i made some Safari profiles ages ago for different tasks, right? but i hadn't used any of em in a while. i go "make a new Foo window" and Safari opens a window with 1479 tabs of random URLs from over _years_, and then when I close the window it eats all my RAM and disk space and I have to kill it.

currently setting about making myself a project template that covers all my typical bases: a basic window and input setup, asset manifests and loading, live coding, savestates (state snapshots), gameplay recording and replay (snapshots + input buffer), and a packager script for distribution.

my weight has been basically the same for ~6 months, but my thighs keep taking up more space :') and now my computer chair digs into them and i have cellulite from the corners of the chair arms causing local ischemia.

whenever i have time, i have big plans for a Ducky Sokoban DX update that will make the game customizable... mostly because there are a bunch of skins i want to make for it, myself '^^ because then i could do chill pixel art streams while i work on them!

if my life circumstances are ever such that i feel like i will be looked after by another person, and i really believe it, the sudden relief will crash down on me like a tsunami and leave nothing behind.
