What I *should* be doing today is working on my procedural storytelling article in Weird West for Game AI Uncovered, or my taxes (bleh), but what I'm gonna do is stub out this quirk system 😆

Yeeeeeeesssss. I recently learned Collin Robinson from What we Do In the Shadows got his start going on local news shows as a yoyo expert teaching kids environmentalism - but anytime he's asked for a trick he fails miserably youtu.be/dj9VF7LyffU?...

#ScreenshotSaturday Trying to think of quirky funny traits for people in my neighborhood sim... What should this guy be? A Mansplainer? Gluten-free? World music DJ?

This looks fantastic!

Or any hypothetical productivity gain - if everybody has it (and it was actually effective) having it easily accessible to even indie devs means raising the bar to compete, not somehow being able to do things faster. You might do more things, but you won't do them cheaper.

Keep meaning to do this more... A little #screenshotsaturday

What is a game? A miserable little pile of tables.

Cadence is out now!

Make music by solving circuits. It took 13 years to figure how to do this well!

🎹 Use the sandbox to make music

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Nowadays I'm writing a lot about overhyped AI tools that will bring nothing of value to the games industry.

So it was a real breath of fresh air to talk with the Snowcap team.

*This* is the sort of smart, well-intentioned, and carefully designed AI tooling that helps developers make better games.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Gourdlets is pretty cute pixel art. Cataclismo is voxels but it does have a surival element

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

[A Q&A session will follow.]

Deck the hall with boughs of holly, Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! "Tis the season to be jolly: a, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel, Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Troll the ancient Christmas carol. Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

Looking for an *L.A. based* artist who (against all odds) has time for a poster gig before the end of the year.

It's for a science + art event.

We can offer $500 for the gig.

Dreadfully sorry about the timeline. Link a portfolio if you're interested, I'll delete this post when we found someone.
