It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

I never understood remaking movies that came out post-cgi boom. Sure, they'll look marginally better, but maybe let's wait until there's some actual major innovation in filmmaking before we start robbing fresh graves

I'm both in the middle of the parts I don't like of gamedev while working on Town Line, and getting deep into learning webdev. My heart wants to work on more exciting projects, my head wants to finish what's on my plate, my soul wants to go live in the woods as a hermit, and I want a snack an a nap

I love it when a large textbook outright says "This stuff is convoluted and rarely useful, so feel free to skip this section and come back to it when you need it." IDK if it'll save me an hour of reading or cost me a month of debugging, but I'll take it!

I'm starting to do a study on Mobile MMORTS games, because I'd like to make one one day, and I'm regretting it already. The first game has ONE main soundtrack that is like 3 minutes long and plays on repeat, with no breaks in between, CONSTANTLY. I'm hearing the music in my sleep!

Goddammit it, I hate coming up with game ideas after midnight! Lemme sleep, damnit! The concept isn't even that good!

I have celiac, but DESPERATELY NEED to have a donut from Dunkin Donuts again, just for the nostalgia of going to my late dad's office and playing games on his computer while waiting for a customer to show up.

The worst ones for me were "We're like [big-budget game] but we're better!" because it both handed the conversation over to different game, and turned [bbg]'s audience against the smaller product.

Me: That sounds like a villain origin story. Allysa: No! That's a protagonist's hero story! Me: That's what all the villains say.
