video games are all about meeting a little elf

Tried to do my metaprogramming bullshit another way and found what I'd done wrong to cause the compiler crash, as expected: trying to resolve a comptime value at runtime

Now I think I've got a miscompile, since dereferencing or copying a slice in this one callstack appears to corrupt the .ptr

We need everyone back in the office because we want the serendipitous magic that only happens when you let humans get creative together and also we're replacing all of you with an AI machine that can only do things that it's seen done before

It's time to start calling them all on their bogus "predictions" which were in fact little more than fundraising tools for their little empires.

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt.
