Oh, I wouldn't pretend to know much about Candy, but ya see, my Nephew, he loves these little chocolates, can't get enough of em', now his teeth, well they look kind of like yours,Sir, now why do you suppose that is?

Man I can't wait for 20 years in the future when Google has an outage and suddenly we find 50% of people can no longer function as humans beings

the best legacy of Harry Potter at this point is elevating three children that all seem to have become incredibly decent and interesting adults

And as the answer to my previous post:

I went with a 3 part Slideshow presentation on Time loops and Paradoxes.

Paradox Corps by AaronBacon A Robot Run and Gun with Time Loops and Paradoxes!

Finished up my #GMTK entry, I present Paradox Corps, a Run and Gun against Time Travelling Killer Robots and Paradox Hunting Wormholes: aaronbacon.itch.io/paradox-corps

24 Hours Left of #GMTK Jam 2025. Mechanically I think I'm mostly good, just need to figure out how exactly I explain what's happening here in a 30-second tutorial =P

If revenue was their main goal, they wouldn't give every creator the option to give 0% of their income to itch.

I get tensions are high, but itch is and has always been creator first.

Sure, I just don't understand how in general people think that the platform run by a team of 20 people would go from helping do so much for LGBT Causes would all of a sudden turn and do something detrimental to the LGBT community unless their hand was forced. At least just wait for the air to clear.

I really don't get why people are suddenly accusing itch of being anti-LGBT. Their stance is that every time there's a bundle supporting Trans rights, they pin it to the front page of itch, helping to raise hundreds of thousands for good causes.

Did you know Big Ben is actually the bell though /s

Maybe you should Stopdot

Does it have Dental Cover?

would now be a good time to mention how much these guys love to call being trans a mental illness

Seems it detected the face, but it knows that it isn't a real camera. my first theory would be it's just pulling the Camera info and can see it clearly isn't a real camera, so next test is to see if I can spoof my real cameras info. Let me know if anyone else has any ideas.

However, now I'm curious how this verification works. In theory it looked like they just used a rgular camera in the browser, so I tried forcing it to use OBS Virtual cam and played this YouTube video of a guy staring at the camera through it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=atOC...

Screen clipping of The BlueSky Age verification Alert, prompting me to verify my age if I wanted to DM.

Age Verification Success Dialog Box

So for those not aware, in the UK a new law is about to go into effect, meaning on BlueSky I had to let an AI guess my Age from a photo to prove I'm not 12 and to allow me to message anyone.

Took about 5 attempts due to me not having a beard, but got there in the end.

A reply to a Tweet by @pdrmnvd "Vibe Coding giveth, vibe Coding taketh away"

Still laughing at this reply

Think you might be giving AI Bros too much credit. I think there's a very real chance it'll get decently far before anyone bothers to look into how it works.

The reason they love AI is because they're talentless hacks who want easy things they don't have to understand

This is an awesome premise, can't wait for more info

That relatable feeling when your hand quantum tunnels through your pants instead of reaching into your pocket

Alternatively, you can put the whole operation in brackets and cast the result eg. (float)(Xp/xpPerLevel[currentLevel])

Does this mean you can now shake a stick at new Game Devs and talk about how they have it easy not having to program games in Assembly?

Just need to make the vertical pin tower now, like a card tower but with 90% less stability

In fairness, I'm sure theres a not insignificant amount of people that just don't realise that there's a difference between pressing the power button and just flicking the switch at the wall

This is probably me watching too many Portal Video Essays, but I'd say he invented things the same way Elon Musk "invented" Tesla and SpaceX. All the actual work is done by skilled scientists and engineers, he's just good at taking credit, and doesn't even realise that he's made world changing tech.

This is giving Cave Johnson vibes

"I'll be honest here, we're throwing science at the wall and seeing what sticks"

At least in that setting Cave Johnson is supposed to be a moron

He died of a Heart Attack during the fall, wonder if that was the moment he realised his situation

I guess the problem is if they learned to look beyond the surface, they'd immediately see all the flaws AI has. They've all been sold on a universal solution as long as they don't look too hard at it.

Well duh, how do you think the Teletubbies became immortal gods
