Grunge no Hamster

A shelter received a donation of stuffed toys and let each dog pick 1.
How selfless. They each only pick 1.

The bus scene, right?

I’d keep making indie board games and teaching game design, but I’d spend much less time worrying about survival.

This is why the AI crash is going to be big and hard. Clueless managers are leading the industry over a cliff.

I just had a public-speaking anxiety dream. I was giving a talk at a game dev studio that was a jumble of nonlinear walls. I had to set up my laptop in a remote corner. I apologized to the devs nearby because I’d have to shout for the audience to hear me. Still, they were stoked I was speaking.

I won it as Dahlia the Spy by defeating both the Demiurge and Bohemund the Fat. I was transformed into a hideous beast by the Demiurge which should have blocked me from winning, but luckily I had a potion that cured me.

You need to read The Aesthetic of Play and what I say about ludic semiotics and pragmatic epistemology. There are meta-rule for games that explain how meaning emerges when we engage with poetry, music, visual, art, or literature.

Now that ChatGPT is killing people, will edgy teens start daring each other to ask it a question?

“I double-dog dare you to ring the doorbell of the witch house!”

“Ludonarrative dissonance” is not just a thing we say to sound pretentious. 🙄

I use it in my game design class to explain to my students that game rules are easier to understand if they make narrative sense.

A character need to sometimes walk through walls? Make them a ghost!

Cranberry sauce as it should be!

Four articulated buses blocking each other in a roundabout making them stuck.

So this happened in Oslo yesterday. Four articulated buses got stuck in a roundabout.

“I'm broke, but I'm happy
I'm poor, but I'm kind
I'm short, but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high, but I'm grounded
I'm sane, but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost, but I'm hopeful, baby.”

I love my 2017 MINI because all the controls can be manipulated purely by touch. The only time I glance at the screen is to verify what song is playing on the radio.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

Cornbread for the homemade stuffing!

I recently took an online intelligence test. The last question was my email so they could send me my results.

I passed.

I tried ChatGPT a few years ago. Writing prompts was too much work. It was easier to just crank out crappy mediocre prose myself.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

ChatGPT Lost a Chess Game to an Atari 2600 And on the 'Beginner' difficulty level, too.

Fortunately Elizabeth found a way to get paid for her obsession with men singing in harmony.

I’m pretty sure that Andy feels the same way!

This is pretty much how I feel about game design. It’s nice when I get paid to do it, but I’d do it for free. I hate having to charge my clients, but my wife scolds me if I don’t.
