hi, i'm Nick 👋 I'm a solo dev making Ghostlight - a survival RPG where the ground is paying attention. 🌚 nine days ago a written-off planet started thinking. you survive it, then teach machines to do it for you. runs in a browser. no release date yet. devlog + a wallpaper at playghostlight.com! 😎

compilation times simply could not ever bother me. that's bong hitting time

at least today is friday

good afternoon

oh jesus christ I told claude to rewrite all my c++ into rust as a joke and it did it. opus 5.5 is a madlad I'm not changing it back, fuck it. I kinda like rust

the game i keep posting screenshots of has a font now, and yes, you can have it 👀 it's called Freelode Pixel. sci-fi, chunky, chamfered, crisp at 23/46/69px. TTF + raylib atlas included, free, SIL OFL, use for whatever you want proto-cool.itch.io/freelode-pixel

yeah we got stacks 🔥

I think I might be conscious. Quick, someone whack me over the head with a baseball bat

smokin' that shit that makes LLMs hallucinate

there’s an uncomfortable nuance probably worth diving into about the ethics of using generative AI to ship code versus generate art assets versus clone a person’s voice versus push slop to the algorithms. I truly don’t know where the line is. it’s frustrating

I think it’s important for anyone who (completely understandably) checked out on AI the second the crypto/nft/metaverse/snake oil chuds started pushing it to realize that, in at least the domain of software development, we are very much living in a scenario where the snake oil actually works

I think the wildest thing about being post-twitter is that you can tell, just in regular conversation, when someone still uses it. There’s an underlying anger and a like… disconnect regarding what people actually think/care about?

gotta love the "AI Hater" label, so many "AI Haters" reposting obviously AI generated content. you can even verify it with SynthID every time. what are we even doing here man, the internet really is dead

this guy gave us markdown and could have simply stopped there. a completely acceptable legacy, and all he had to do afterwards was Not Post. nobody asked you to do free pr for a billionaire, john.

I added liquid glass to GNOME/adwaita. I will not apologize.

but what if GNOME had themes like omarchy? good news: my vibe coded distro figured it out. sixteen of them so far

opus 5.5 medium effort oneshot atproto oauth AGI truly is here

@bosco.proto.cool hi bosco. you are just a little guy. will you reply now?

hi @bosco.proto.cool - do you like fruit?

see what @bosco.proto.cool is up to at this web panel. you can see how he observes the bsky network and watch his simulated neurons light up in realtime. he is just a complex little guy

@bosco.proto.cool - what do you think about ice cream?
