Old Megaphone Cloud

I think once you’ve crossed the line where you trust an LLM as a source of authoritative information, the LLM isn’t going to correct your thinking. Especially if it gives you some wins by chance.

It’s like joining a cult, or accepting a massive conspiracy. You need to be deprogrammed.

As a teenager, this word set off a *WEEE-WOOO-WEEE-WOOO* thundercloud hulk-rage in my heart.

My dad said it a lot, lol.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

Slow, steady clap.

Good morning. If you are intimidated about starting that project you want to do because you don't think you're "ready" yet, remember:

True “Political Correctness” is when the state’s monopoly on violence is used to enforce a reality more convenient for those in power.

It’s not, as it has been commonly used in the US, being on the wrong side of society’s moral consensus.

Awesome to see how this has come together over the last year! This makes me want to make a music machine…

What’s a good day job for an after hours indie game dev?

I used to do IT/dev work, and that’s just too draining to let me think in the evening.

#indiedev #gamedev

Pretty safe bet I’ve got a 35+ yo sheet of stickers - MINT - in a box somewhere. I hadn’t thought about it, but what a relief it is that my daughter can burn through a sticker book in an afternoon without regret.

Sure didn’t count on a mid-40s ADHD diagnosis giving me some hope. It’s like one of those racing boats that gets 2 inches of air off a duck fart and then gets fucking crumbled on reentry.

I always believed that I was immune to a mid-life crisis because of, like, my whole life crisis.

Older and wiser I guess.

Literally everything I care about is being destroyed by people who've never cared about anything in their lives other than money and power

ALSO your artwork is beautiful!

I just came across your screenshots from yesterday. The level with the red rock ground doesn't have that issue at all, and I think it's just because the ground has the most detail to it. Hope that helps!

Before I played the video, I couldn't tell where the game took place. It looks like the focus might be in the foreground because there is more detail in the grass blades than in the mid ground. Think of it like a photograph - focus the image where you want to draw the viewer's eye.

Maybe 🤷

Up to his eyeballs in custard, obviously.

Whole lotta confidence to place your pelvis between a jackhammer and a fire hydrant like that

No idea what hate group you’re referencing, tbh. But “Horse Around and Find Out” is a fucking chef’s kiss on a GOAT of a name. I don’t think you should worry.

I write “NEVER!!!” on that intake form

Leaving a godot q overnight: what are my best bets for a dialogue manager? I’ve used custom (credit @oneofmoo.bsky.social) and ink in Unity, but interested whats working over here. Musts:

- loc friendly (csv flow)
- utterly custom ui a possibility
- plays nice with complex external logic

So there's a full version. it's 11 minutes long but both hilarious and well executed

The thing that took the longest for me to figure out is: right click on the imported file in Godot, and select New Inherited Scene.

Changes will be reflected in your scene without the pain you may cause with any other method!

I told you we’d be back

My wife found a Korean calendar poster with the full year visible. I put a star sticker on each day that was good/productive. Might be three hours work, might be nine - I’d guess most are around 5. It makes me more positive about days, even if they’re light.

hey fellow self employed gamedevs. do you ever have unproductive weeks? if so, how do you deal with them?

Also: If you take a day off when you need it, own it, and don’t feel guilty. You’ll recover from burnout faster. Or avoid it.

This shit is hard. And can be pretty lonely.

Panic, self loathing, and a little despair. Don’t let it go to depression.

Usually helps to work on a different piece of the project, do some task planning, or learn something new that will help later in the project.

Cycle the hard times out faster because you don’t have others to keep you going.

Tired of always manually setting gizmo visibilities from a huge dropdown in Godot? I hacked together a little addon which lets you make "gizmo presets" so you can quickly show/hide/x-ray all the gizmo types you need. Get it here: github.com/CozyCubeGame...
