Embrace. Extend. Enshitify.

I'm honestly worried about the future of the internet. Maybe atproto can help? ๐Ÿคž

I'm progressing towards working on developing a new video game;
if this tweet gets ten or more likes, I will elaborate on the synopsis and then eventually a kickstarter.
features:
- open world role playing game
- fully simulated economic system with autonomous NPCs
- time travel/save state mechanics

Vehicle physics finally working! Still a lot to do before releasing it, but driving around is already quite fun :)

This also paves the way for more physics-based mechanics coming to #CosmosJourneyer.

this is what keeps us indie game developers going: the big bucks and thoughtful titles

Now that the dust has begun to settle, are these AI agents actually taking our jerbs? ๐Ÿค” Or did the tech monopolies just use it as an excuse to downsize and ship worse products? ๐Ÿ˜

Bit of a slap in the face to have to pay for an apple dev account when they already have a monopoly on the app store... ๐Ÿ˜”

I'm beginning to suspect that a key skill in working effectively with coding agents is developing an intuition for when you don't need to closely review every line of code they produce. This feels deeply uncomfortable!

EA being privately sold to saudi arabia for 52 billion dollars was not something I expected to read today

My thesis for lostness vs fun in #gamedev. Silksong and Animal Well spend most of their time in "where tf am I (good)", but it's a very risky game. Rain World was great, but it did nudge me into "where tf am I (bad)" a little too often for my taste.

Tried drawing PixelArt for practice. Feedback appreciated!
Made in the limited palette/low-res style of pico8 and beep8.

Doom debugging, its like doom scrolling but you just keep trying one thing after another to fix a bug and at some point you should really stop but you can't ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Being a high school teacher at St. Apa looks hard. Especially when others are visiting.
