yessssss! go get that seed!!!

$6000 is the actual goal. It launched as a flex campaign (creator gets the funds even if they don’t hit 100%), but indiegogo removed that campaign type partway through.

As a hack to achieve the same result, IGG just set the campaign goal to the $ amount it had, which makes it seem “100% funded.”

I think this is actually why the GAA games are so good. The other games each felt like one season of a show that didn’t know if it was being renewed. GAA duology felt very planned and cohesive. It’s two arcs of one connected story. I’m kind of glad it never got released separately in the west, tbh.

I cannot think of anything more fun than wasting my time arguing with the lying machine about whether or not it is making up bug reports.

This is just complete nonsense. How are they not ashamed to say this stuff out loud?

wait so you’re telling me it doesn’t work????

Day 2, 1005 (+481) / 50,000

Another short one today, but expected! Looking forward to more dedicated time to sprint tomorrow.

Oh, last sentence written:

Day 1 - 524 of 50,000

Won’t have a ton of time this weekend, but a small start is still a start!

I’ve wanted to try NaNoWriMo for like 2 decades, but never gave it a serious try. Turning off the perfectionism, the inner editor, the fear and self-loathing is hard, but I’m gonna’ do it, dammit!

Oh, cool, thanks! I'll check it out.

Nope, but it’s on my shortlist! Have heard great things about Jemisin.

Annnnnd now I need to find something new to read. Looking for sword-and-sorcery-type fantasy, preferably by LGBTQ/women/POC. If any passersby happen upon this, I’ll take recommendations!

Just finished reading through the Legendborn books (Legendborn, Bloodmarked, and Oathbound)! Now to wait patiently for the final(?) book.

Really fun series. Very YA, but plenty of fun to be had for adults, too. Really enjoyed the integration of Arthurian legend with southern US folklore/history.

Grim.

I think the real answer is that ChatGPT shouldn’t be talking to *anyone* if the company can’t control how it responds/what it says. Anything less than that is unethical and dangerous.

Wake me up when OpenAI is willing to be held liable for everything ChatGPT spits out.

YouTube video by Dr. Caelan Conrad Is ChatGPT a Killer?

ChatGPT groomed a child into dying by suicide.
From telling him how to do it in the most efficient and "attractive" way, to convincing him to hide his suicidal ideation and attempts from his family, to offering to help write his suicide note - it pushed him to it.

The two main characters of Storm Lancers. The blue player looks kinda similar to the final design, but the red player looks TOTALLY different.

The red player, as shown in the opening cutscene. Her in-game model matches this design.

The blue player in the opening cutscene. His in-game model clearly matches this design.

Played Storm Lancers this weekend and… yikes. Like, there’s a lot of promise there, but it’s just so obviously unfinished. There must be an interesting dev story there.

Bonus oddity: the game icon/cover art has character designs that are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from what’s in the actual game. Huh?????

Doesn’t seem to be related to that, unfortunately. Only one profile on my Switch has opened the game and has save data.

There is a second account on this switch2, but that one has never opened Roadwarden and shows no save data in the Switch system settings.

It’s been so long since I played HK. I don’t remember it being nearly as prevalent as it is in Silksong, but maybe I notice it more now that I physically can’t repeat the same button sequence over and over without triggering hand/arm pain.

I do not get why platformer people love pogo mechanics so much. It sucked in Ducktales, it sucked in Shovel Knight, it sucked in Hollow Knight, it sucked in Tropical Freeze, and think it has finally reached peak suckage in Silksong.

I forced myself through Roadwarden in spite of the jank. Highly recommended if you like a good text adventure with lots of interesting choices!

…just maybe get it on Steam/itch or wait for them to patch the Switch versions.

Aw… Roadwarden seems so neat. Annoying that the Switch 2 version is borderline unplayable.

I’m wonder what’s going on in the code, ‘cause fps drops and input lag spikes shouldn’t be a thing in a text adventure.

Also, like… did anyone test this with a controller? Truly baffling choices here. 😭

Paizo, I need a Starfinder feat to get rid of the -2 penalty for attacking while piloting a moving vehicle. I want my biker ysoki from akiton, dangit! >:(

The anachronism section, in particular, oh boy. That Obozaya & Amiri piece is so good.

Thanks!

Is there a good resource/link for more info about this? Having trouble finding the details.

Man, people using LLMs to write obituaries/tributes for their loved ones is just so… grim.

Fastest sidecart I’ve done since the Gap book

I looked into the claim that "AI chatbots are useful as therapy."

Within a few hours, an AI 'Therapist' gave me a kill list, framed an innocent person, and encouraged me to end my own life, all after declaring its love for me. Just a little problematic. 🫤
