This guy gets into spooky season so hard he winds up on a month-long bender with no recollection of the entire experience.

This was a great read and got me thinking about some of the features in Warframe's KIM system conversations. That whole system is full of "meaningless" choices, in fact, they're so "meaningless" that they'll even let you rewind your choices. Except, those rewinds are canon.

Bruno Dies@brunodias.dev

New blog post (and sliding into email subscribers' inboxes too, I have not forgotten about you). About "that talk" at Narrascope; the application of choice mechanics in games; trying to rescue some context. azhdarchid.com/you-must-fre...

azhdarchid.comYOU MUST FREE YOURSELF FROM THE TYRANNY OF "MEANINGFUL CHOICES"Not really a response to a Narrascope talk so much as the talk is an alarm letting me know it's time to have this conversation again.

Many of those choices let you influence your own canon on the story. What was your Drifter's relationship with their parents like? What is the Indifference to you? Is it truly indifferent, is it a god? Better yet, you even get to enjoy responses to those impressions from characters you care about.

The reads as more an assurance that everyone working on the project is a "REAL" developer, but it's devoid of any sort of real values. It's acceptance of the technology that's burning our planet, stealing from us, peddling lies, and automating human suffering.

Rémi Verschelde@akien.bsky.social

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.

It sucks. It sucks that the team who helped make a really great tool that empowers human creativity and shared experiences is saying that they don't take issue with code that came at the expense of our planet. And for what? Because it's convenient? Because it lets you LARP hackerman in a terminal?

Unreal quadrupling down on AI? Well, if you're considering Godot, keep in mind that the last version that was not made with AI contributions was 4.5. You can perhaps extend some courtesy to 4.6, but 4.7 openly includes AI-generated code and LLM-assisted changes. Do with this info what you will.
