Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

After spending 67 hours with my daughter as she played through FF6, we finally beat Kefka. In this time together, engaging with a beautiful work of art, we bonded profoundly, created meaning, and triumphed over despair, indifference, and nihilism.

Capitalism doesn't work for the good of humans, yet we embrace it fully as the best system, so afraid of socialism. The elite have convinced the 80% that socialism is bad because it's bad for the elite and great for the 80%. Excellent propaganda machine.

All these “new” tech bros thinks about money and power. Bring back the old tech bros who thinks about progressiveness and Star Wars. For the better, educated future.

That is the main and #1 reason I see it as useless, from a computer programmer/systems analyst perspective. A computer is supposed to be able to produce reliable data. A computer that hallucinates is worse than useless. We have to doublecheck everything it does . . . why even bother with it then?

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

After 7 years of development, we are excited that "Quartet" is out now! A series of train robberies. A mysterious deck of cards. A fleet of deadly airships. An accidental mage. Choose from four stories, in any order, and discover how they intertwine in this turn-based RPG!

The first few sound effects are in, very much a work-in-progress, still. All sfx for the objects are still missing, except for the post-it notes. Spent a few hours making the fart loop dynamic. Fart sound provided by my partner - I wonder if she wants to be credited or not... #SoundDesign

The world makes a lot more sense if you understand that one outta ten of the people you meet are comfortably evil. Another fraction of them are uncomfortable evil, but dont change. Can you recognize them? Do you like them? Do you give them your community?

Greed in The Last Islands of Man 2, as in our world, gets worse the closer they get to the end. Prices keep rising, water keeps disappearing and the sand keeps blowing. Those who lived a greedy life think their piles of gold and silk will save them from the desert. #indiedev #rpgmaker #gamedev

This hit pretty hard. Especially with everything going on right now with creativity and the nihilism born of Gen AI. Here's a Gnostic perspective on a classic tale. Maybe the most important one. Entropy is real, and it will win. We are the light within the dark. How bright are you? #amwriting

A.I. is popular because it gives you the experience of being a boss: you get to give annoyingly specific instructions about how to do something you don't actually know how to do yourself, and then claim credit for the end result.
