And iOS Cognizer V1.6.1 is up. Now back to working on Rocks, my upcoming Asteroids game. Though I am concerned to an extent that by the time it is done, AI will have made it irrelevant. I am hoping that human-made art and hand-crafted gameplay will still find a place. apps.apple.com/ca/app/cogni...

Cognizer has finally been updated to Unity 6 for Steam. This includes MacOS, Linux, and Windows. The latest Android version is available for free at maniac-games.com. I am still working on the iOS version! store.steampowered.com/app/711690/C...

My group just finished Big Walk. What an amazing game. The way it ended was also amazing. Don’t miss out on this find a group of four to play it with.

Well, the ad bots are here. My posts get most of their interactions from accounts that are just ads for products. :( What have we created...

I don't know why I've never seen this mentioned as an 80-year-old cautionary tale about AI. First, I saw this somewhere: "No, there will be other agents doing the review. The point of agentic workflow is to free yourself so you can run more agentic workflows." Then it hit me:

I looked at just one or two politics posts here, and 30 seconds later that’s all it will show me. :(

To every phone app in the world: If notifications are not on now, I will not, ever, turn them on because you asked me to. STOP ASKING

Just watched Looper again. Gets better each time. I hope he returns to sci-fi, but not more Disney garbage. :)

Ok, Big Walk is a big deal. It’s very fun. Don’t look anything up just play with friends. Free if you have a PSN sub, but well worth the small price they are asking.

@qrostar.net About 10 years ago, someone showed me Jelly No Puzzle. I instantly loved how hard it is, how the levels don't feel redundant, and its simplicity. Today, I finally finished the last level. I never asked for or got any hints on how to do them. Thank you so much for this amazing challenge.

So yeah, I’m watching the big short AGAIN. And it strikes me. What an amazing performance from Steve Carell. And he wasn’t nominated for an Oscar. What is it with comedic actors doing amazing dramatic work and not getting nominated for it?

Ok, so don't use Duolingo for Chess. I mean it's got its use to teach some parts of languages. It's kind of fun. Hey, whatever. But many of its chess puzzles or problems are just outright incorrect. This guy researched it. learnthroughstories.substack.com/p/i-tested-8...

I can't recommend this game enough if you like twin-stick shooters. If you aren't so sure about the genre, but like a mind-blowing audio-visual presentation, maybe give it a try. It's on many platforms. store.steampowered.com/app/2105620/...

1865 days later, it’s done. было тяжело!

This is the last page of Duolingo’s Russian course. It has taken me a while.

Here's my Steam curator. It's entirely "Recommended" games, as I don't really like writing negative game reviews. store.steampowered.com/curator/2523... But if you tune in to my Twitch channel, almo2001, I will certainly trash-talk games in there. >:)

If you are on an iPhone you want this. It's real, I did it. It worked. vt.tiktok.com/ZSH6c7kwV/

What the US and Israel are doing over there is wrong. There's nothing "complicated" about it.

"You know, I don't like playing poker." "Then why do you play?" "I like destroying lives." Player X in Molly's Game. Widely believed to be Tobey McGuire.

I have no idea why Perforce bought Hansoft to turn into P4Plan. Nobody likes Hansoft.

I don't get all the hate for The Rip. I thought it was fine. Story worked well.

Google play comes up with a possible random name when you create a new account. Someone didn't check all the permutations of the words un the bank.

Del Toro's Pinocchio has a reference to the muppet show opening in it. Not surprising, as Henson's company was involved.

Wow. Got air pods 4 noise cancelling for Christmas from a very kind relative. These things are amazing. They sound great, and connect insanely easily to various phones, just open the pack nearby. And connected to Apple TV, it adjusts so if you turn your head the audio is still placed at the TV.

After about an hour, or a bit more, I have set up Voidfall to play the tutorial solo. What have I gotten myself in to.

Kitties!!

Slots & Daggers is really fun! Give it a shot! store.steampowered.com/app/3631290/...

Ballad of a Small Player was a really good movie. Don't expect a thriller though. It's more complex than that.

Just saw A House of Dynamite. Great movie. I highly recommend it, and see it before you see people talking about it online. It's best to go in as blind as possible.

So that's two samples I have approved on whosampled.com! www.whosampled.com/sample/13508...

@karinejean-pierre.bsky.social I just saw your interview with Amna Nawaz. Would you please answer questions directly? You're talking like a press secretary, like you have things to hide or spin.

I know why people are using ChatGPT to tell their problems to instead of a therapist. IT'S FREE. We really need to make it easier for people to get the help they need.

Three body problem has some good scenes. But my god the amount of bad expository dialogue sucks.

Promised kitty pic. :)

I think I know enough to comment on the Kirk thing now. She says it better than I can. More cat pictures to follow in the next post. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6MS...

Um holy shit The Substance was a hell of a trip. Tons and tons of references to other stories and movies in it.

I remember this band from the 90s... name was something like... Stone Jam Dog Pilots of the Pearl Temple Or something.

The kitties!

A composer who analyzes music on YouTube did one of my tracks. I did request it directly though; not like he would have found it on his own! :D I definitely recommend checking out more of his videos. Like the one on Pink Floyd Echoes is a good one! youtu.be/fVgEtjHE3D4?...

Deadzone: Rogue is a really fun game on Steam. Single or multiplayer FPS roguelite. Lots of nice things about it. If you do play it and wish you had different save slots, here's my tool to do that. github.com/almo2001/Man...

Python does not have constants!!!! :O

Washed a towel. Not sure what happened during the spin cycle.

Here's the answer to the previous post asking where the kitty was!

Spot the kitty!!
