Pokopia has been sooooo funnnn.
Coming from Dragon Quest Builder games which I also loved I just know I'm going to be spending loooots of time in Pokopia
Wunkolo's Nintendo Switch friend code: "SW-5559-2254-1313"
For any pals that wanna add me for Pokopia π₯Ίπ₯Ί
I saw that happen with that Deadlock modding tool thing on Twitter. When they get called out the CheckMark TechBros comment the most obtuse crap like "EVERYONE uses AI these days to program!!! Every single person!!!!! They ALL use AI!!" and this is only true in their hustling/grifting techbro spaces
Genuinely just a totally broken sense of fulfillment going on here. Lots of B2B SaaS tech-bros doing the same sort of tacky things in other spaces. How do you share an Open Source space with people like this. It's only going to get more tacky as AI "empowers" people like this.
Code is an unmaintainable mess that layers slop on top of slop to address the slop, recursively
Performance/rendering/crashing issues he doesn't know how to fix, a code base he doesn't understand, but wants all the "clout" and "renown" and "fame" attached to slopping something over the finish line.
Dude runs off to make his own fork with this horrible code and is hyper-establishing a whole website and discord server and monetizing it with Kofi...
for code that _he himself admits_ he does not understand at all!!!

I've been particularly demotivated from doing Open Source work lately because of the amount of sloppification that is happening in my spaces in particular
We had a guy vibecode the most ATTROTRIOUS PR to Xenia(Xbox 360 emulator) using my Arm64 JIT work as a starting point:
github.com/xenia-projec...
You really have to have a broken sense of fulfillment to generate and consume AI slop of any kind man.
I just cannot relate to it.
It really is the same "NGMI" fomo shit they said about crypto and NFTs.
Almost wrapped up Pokemon ZA just in time for Pokopia to come out this week..
Just beat it and loved it I love how campy it is and the characters and everything lol
I'll earn my right to Play RE9 by playing the other games leading up to it

I get this exact effect on my 165hz IPS monitors(ROG PG279Q) whenever there is a horizontal 0x555.../0xAAA... stipple-pattern of some sort. The higher the contrast differences are the farther it "streaks" across the screen.
I especially get it on images like this:

Oo this is making me realize I should probably do something like this in some JITs I worked on
NEW POKEMON GAME AAA THOSE GRAPHICS...
I just got hit by this too lmfao what is going on with this company π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«
It's sooo good I especially love all of the UX decisions the made in particular so it's not necessarily the kind of game where you need to have a Wiki up all the time. I can just have it on the TV and get lost with things to do.
I thought the supreme court said the huge import tariffs and stuff like this aren't legal anymore but that kinda doesn't mean anything anymore these days I feel
YOU DID IT!!!
I hate that vibe-coding became common among B2B SaaS money-hustling tech-bros during a time when we should be making more optimal and energy-efficient software!!!
I don't like it, and it's causing a sloppification of soooo many crafts and industries that should be centering a human's touch rather than cold automation, but I'm ultimately powerless against mass corporate interests in it.
I can only really toss my hands up about generative AI
It's just going to be here to stay, though I think it will be a kind of "artisan chefs vs microwave" situation where it's "normalized" but is generally understood as the "cheap and lazy and convenient" alternative to something higher quality
Also I just need a damn vacation soon... Even my job has an automated warning-thing telling me "hey you haven't taken any PTO in a pretty long time... you can do that you know" which is even more evidence of that.
Dry mouth(increased acidity from stress). Eye twitching, lack of sleep, all that stressy stuff.
Oh and on top of that, I've had very bad Vitamin-D(consistently less than 30) since 2018!
Just kinda messed up in all sorts of ways rn that I gotta be intentional about trying to fix this year.
Been gritting my teeth so extremely hard that I broke a bunch of fillings (at the same time!) and damaged my own teeth and have to the fillings repaired/replaced. Poking holes in my night-guard. Hair shedding and hair-strands that fade in and out of grayness showing a timeline of stress.
I thought stress was just Dumb Shit That Plays Out In Your Head(Just Look Away From The Screen Vol.2) and you dont gotta take it seriously but I've been reluctant to acknowledge the physically Real things that it has been putting me through for at least 2 years now
Tryin to admit to myself that I'm Stressed As Hell Actually in a way that drawing a cute character or playin a cute game doesn't usually fix. Not feeling the passion in anything I draw or make at the moment. For lots of reasons but these past 4 months in particular have forced me to face it Hard.

The year has been weird so far.. hard to focus on artsy stuff
