GenAI is working hard to ensure that no one will want to pay me to write code or make designs. GenAI wants no one to read the stories I might write, listen to the music I make, or play the games I want to create. It is trying to replace every skill or joy I have. What even is FUCKING left.

I need a better hobby than leaving comments that say, "the fuck do you mean WE?" on posts that talk about how, "obviously we all use AI…"

The prosecution rests. The prosecution is very eepy. The prosecution requests your honour read a bedtime story. The prosecution go ni ni.

Quite possibly the most intense game of Squares ever played in Survey Scramble history.

Paving roads further cements

I still, to this day, am vaguely uncomfortable around mirrors because of the short this is from.

oh so the answer to my question from 2025 is "VERY intentional" this should be setting off alarm bells for everyone, frankly

Me whenever I get to a task I've been putting off:

My new favourite hobby: cherry-picking tropes and story beats to argue that two things are actually the same thing.

The reviews are coming in:

I wasn't certain, so I made sure to get some second expert opinions, and folks: I think the game I'm writing is yuri.

Just saw Coyote vs. ACME. I cried. I have no shame in this fact.

If this year's NZ election cycle has taught me anything, it's that the people in Labour you would expect to know better, either A: don't actually know better, B: are vulnerable to capture, or C: aren't working in your interests. Honestly, I'm not sure which one is the worst.

woah Phil you shouldn't just be admitting this on your pod

@fadeinpro.com Is there a way (or plans for a way) to write markdown (or other shorthand), and have Fade In apply it? I usually find that easier than selecting text and hitting shortcuts, or having to change formatting in advance. Though maybe I also shouldn't be using italics in a script so much.

Writing a game script, and writing the words "The player takes control." can either be entirely mundane or go hard depending on how you read it.

I love forgetting the name of something, going to search for it, and finally remembering what the name is right after I hit enter. Especially funny when the results of the search are completely not the thing I was looking for.

I'm sorry to all the Chris's I know, but the NZ election cycle this year has made me increasingly sick of hearing that name. It's not you, it's the fault of a bunch of fuckwits.

I'm writing the script for a smaller game concept I'm working on, and I find myself pulling back just barely before reaching the "I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards" line.

look its simple: if roger rabbit is exonerated the toons gain control of the acme corporation leading to "coyote vs acme". if roger rabbit is convicted, humans retain control as seen in "looney tunes: back in action". if marvin acme is never killed then chip and dale rescue rangers (2022) happens

My tired-ass brain invented a shitpost template while I was still waking up, but can't do anything with it, 'cause the original ur-post is not one I could pull off. Brain is such a fake poster, smh.

It feels incredibly serendipitous to start committing more to a project idea, and then stumble on the absolute *perfect* music to match that project's vibe and theme.

I think I might need to mute the term "speed camera" in order to not be exhausted by the Americans on this site.

Enjoying the bluesky speed camera debate

I know this is an unrelated point, but it continues to be frustrating seeing so much of the money spent by the Greens going to Meta. It makes the endless donation request emails even more grating, because so much of it ends up being spent directly on Facebook and Instagram ads.

This is my semi-periodic reminder to international friends and colleagues that I come from a fake country.

Hi international friendos, to help you understand what NZ bluesky is talking about, here is a summary: While Prime Minister Chris has survived leadership challenges from MP Chris (today) and MP Chris (recently), this instability bodes ill for election chances against Former Prime Minister Chris
