Not even doing it for pay by putting it in the paper. This is just pure sweet love of the game.

One thing that stands out in the responses i got was that genAI takes away the very thing that makes making a game so fun. It's fun and worthwhile to do BECAUSE it is hard, because the contraints force creative thinking, and that is in that tension point beauty is found.

Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.

consider, friend, this is *exactly* the position facists want you to take. don't let the real horrors of the world deprive you of human joy. not only is that a miserable way to live, it's exactly the kind of demoralism them people feed on.

Dear ADHD Diary,
I don't remember if I took my vyvanse so i took one just in case so if you catch me cleaning the baseboards with a toothbrush in 5 hours, we'll have our answer.
