Falling Block Jam is now open for sign-ups! In September, let's put our own spin on this classic genre combining blocks and gravity in games. #FallingBlockJam

Even creative writing outputs would require an informed editing, each model I’ve tried still gets hooked on certain names or phrases. And that’s what I would consider the slowest ball you could throw because it’s free to hallucinate. It also won’t provide sources for concepts when writing fiction.

This; I have tried to test creative tasks as prompts just to see how “the most advanced AI ever built” is doing — what I’ve found is that different models may perform some functions with more guile, but all confidently contradict themselves or fail tasks like generating a random 32-character string.

Makes me miss Freelancer..

Maybe?

This is good lore!

I didn’t perceive it that way, if only because the game felt linear and more mechanically compatible as an action-adventure or puzzle platformer. It’s like the difference between Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild. Both have a world that is “open”, but BotW is unquestionably an Open-World Game.

I saw one in an art museum! They’re not *too* expensive, but definitely a splurge. The Panasonic/Muji SL-PH7 is also rad. The same designer of the wall-mounted CD player, Naoto Fukasawa, also worked under the brand Plus Minus Zero. They even made a sort of cool minimalist, single-slice toaster.

This is rad. The default animations are also fairly tasteful. Great for rapid prototyping. Open-source is the best! ✨

Yeah, always what prevented me from beating them — they are incredibly traditional JRPGs in that sense. The combo Mother 1 + 2 released on GBA actually increased them further to Pokémon’s encounter rates, just *everywhere*, which is wild to me.

The thing they don’t tell you about Mother 1 & 2 is that the random encounters rates are ridiculous and borderline punishing. You kind of play it in spite of itself. Luckily, there are ROM hacks nowadays that make the games more forgiving.

I love the way these trees are art-ed for Mother 3. They layer well together and have a lot of individual identity alongside tastefully outlined details and shading.

Congratulations, that sounds extremely rad!

There's a part in the demo for this game where a dying soldier tells you, "I was a boxer, semi-pro." and the delivery of that line was so bad I still remember it to this day.

first person shooters are extremely fun, but the industry rarely makes the ones i like anymore There’s something about that anticipation as your dropship passes over open ocean and the fighting on the beach comes into view…

Hey! New article! This one's about the history of first person shooters, what makes 'em work, and why I like the shooters I like. It's also me lamenting how they've died, and talking a bit about why I want to go ahead and make one.

My mind went to Silent Hill (2006)’s ending, but I doubt it was the film you’re thinking.

Wonderful pixel art!

Today is my birthday (turning 29), which is the only time all year that I ask for a repost 🌿
I hope you get lost in fantasy worlds as much as I do 🔮

Easy, it’s the first season of Severance.

I need a project to pour myself into, but not so much that I get weird and obsessive over it. That’s tough, though! I consider creating under a fresh pseudonym for a while so I can experience the blank slate. I wonder if other people ever feel like that or only myself.

RIP my sleep schedule — just completely ruined. Feeling good about life, though.

Things are tough all around, but you always do wonderfully and have interesting things to say — I enjoy following you. Hope you can loosen up soon and find some comfort.

This looks amazing, congratulations on your launch!

Heartworm - the retro, fixed camera survival horror inspired game I have been working on for five years is out NOW on Steam. Please check it out if you're into that sort of thing! And if you enjoy it, leave a review as it really helps! Thank you

Been following this off and on — I love the concept of diorama games like this one, congratulations on your upcoming launch!

Whoa, totally forgot this game existed.

Happy birthday! 🎂🎊🎉 Hope it’s the best one ever.

Staying alive takes a lot of energy, tbh.
