in hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy there's a motion controlled radio and if you find the station you want to listen to you have to hold your body absolutely still or you will change the channel. this was a clever satire of every UX designer in the 2020's

This is in fact something I've been doing for years now at both small local events and big events like PAX. This is also like the 3rd time in the past month that I've been tagged into a post of someone wishing that people should do this so I feel like something people should start doing already.

As Order of the Sinking Star is coming out next month, in advance of review coverage coming in I wanted to add one thing to my last statement about the game: bsky.app/profile/drak... (note: at that time I didn’t have a separate personal account)

Draknek & Friends@draknek.bsky.social

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

I made a mini playable #OuterWilds universe! Started out just messing with my Godot plugin's immediate mode, then gone down the slippery slope of recreating Outer Wilds, SOOO much fun :) (link down below) #godot #madewithgodot #madewithmold

Once again, the easiest way to communicate this to people who don’t have time to stay up to date on everything: An LLM will give you the answer *it thinks you are most likely to accept.* This is very problematic when you consider LLMs are fundamentally sycophantic in their goal to please humans.

andy [known agitator]@meltedmasks.me

feels like a lot of teaching people about LLM tech is now making sure that they understand that it isn't a system that collates and produces information, it sorts noise into familiar patterns, which resembles information hard to get that across to people who use it as a search engine

It’s easy to become enamoured with your own potential and save yourself for “bigger things” than put effort into building wonderful experiences for those immediately around you. You don’t get to enjoy your “legacy” because you’ll be dead, so maybe it’s time to focus on where we are today.

The US and China, two of the most powerful countries in the world, sit to discuss the future, as they see it. There are no women sitting at this table. Sisters...and I'll continue to say this....Destroy the patriarchy.

My big thing that is going to get me in trouble one day is that I increasingly bristle at the word “fun” - it’s a fine thing for a game to be but very limiting as the end goal for a form of media!

It exists! I interviewed backup dancers, producers, the costume designer, the song’s producers who granted the rights, and so many more who were involved: web.archive.org/web/20240227...

Hard to read major publications when the only article genres are like: - "Is this criminal thing that harms the world bad? We asked the guy doing it" - "Bigotry is warranted if I'm upset about life" - "Stop being poor so loud" and - "What Does It Mean: Debating horrible thing he said very clearly"

I will never forget @xoxofest.com, despite only attending once. The vibes were unlike anything, and if anything, it's exactly what US games events miss in 2026. XOXO was focused, it had soul, it was challenging and playful - it was the polar opposite of the giant smooth mega-events games has now.

One last thing before we go. Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. xoxofest.com

To be able to manufacture misinformation like this would be absolutely fatal for Google's legitimacy two decades ago, but now it's just expected that one of the single greatest information gathering tools ever built has spent billions to self-destruct for 'the shareholders'.

“Are you asking because you’re considering doing it?” What?! No, no of course not. That would be mad. I’m asking because… because uh…

You cannot convince me this wasn't the golden age of sitting on the couch playing games and talking shit with your friends (yes I was a teenage boy and might still be).

This guy gets it. What a top-tier party game.

Really weird to be scrolling my feed and getting jumpscared by screenshots of my old handiwork.

3 stars is good and if you say it's bad because it's a 6/10 when converting to a 10-point scale, that's because you're using a 10-point scale which is an inferior metric of appraisal

3 stars is good actually
