Damn, that first one is AMAZING!

The poster for the 1957 film The Enemy Below.

On in the background this afternoon as I write a few new UI Widget features I need for the campaign screens in Deck & Conn.

Hadn't seen this in years.

Das Boot or Greyhound this is not.

This u-boat is positively PALATIAL in size.

Sydney turning out in support of Palestine. So good to see.

Dungeons of Freeport, a character screen open, showing "Albertha Wash", a level 2 dungeoneer.

Spent this weekend debugging Dungeons of Freeport since the engine upgrade, and adding debug features.

There's debug quick starts now that generates a character, gives them appropriate gear, etc.

Even randomly picks a name.

Getting closer to the Next Phase(tm).

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

When the 30% is this good you don't NEED to finish it.

Folks whose childhood or 20s involved dial-up modem sounds: it's time to listen to "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo.

No, no point in complaining - I don't make the rules, I merely enforce them.

You know what's good?

Those little youtube channels run by someone who isn't trying to make a career off it.

Who upload a video every few months or years, on whatever subject interests them.

Nothing wrong with professional video essayists of course but... it's nice finding those little channels.

Yes.

I feel like I should aspire to do the same. Good idea.

You don't even need to do that to get false info! ChatGPT thinks you're an Air Force guy, because it confused his name (Jay Johnson) with his station (Travis Airforce Base).

Sorted.

It's because they're not going to be intimidated by tech companies, Stil.

Pretty sure the first time I saw a high five was in Top Gu-

Death By Scrolling Part 3 Ron Gilbert's often incoherent and bitter ramblings about the Game Industry

This week's blog post by @grumpygamer.com on Death by Scrolling is about the Switch port we're doing. It's short, go read it!

Remember when like, every second movie was a crime comedy about some fuckups utterly screwing up in the most over the top ways? The ‘90s sure had some positives…

Good morning sailors and scientists! May your day involve some things that rock. Literally or figuratively.

"How to watch the Battlefield 6 reveal", a title by Polygon.

This was how I learned that Battlefield 5 was a thing that happened.

I'm SO hip and with it. My finger truly on the pulse of new game releases.

UNlaunching? Amazing word use.
