"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

I wasn’t looking properly and thought the big black thing was a huge fuckoff tower PC

Nah, deliberately not leaving it focused when I go away from the PC.

Nup, checked focus mode multiple times, tried toggling it off and on, nothing.

I don’t know why, but my iPhone is just not notifying me of certain things now. Discord messages and BlueSky posts specifically. I’ve gone through all my settings and notifications are all set to on, and I’m not on DND mode, is there anything I could’ve missed?

Between this and Nintendo thinking Bounty Hunter meant 'person that goes places and does nice things :)', I'm starting to believe that japanese games developers don't know what a hunter is at all

Microsoft, still reeling in pain from shooting themselves in the foot, desperately grasps for a larger gun.

Yeah same. Felt a bit of guilt for spending that bit extra for the 12gb, but that's been washed away now.

I love level design crimes in critically acclaimed games

They make me feel better about my own crimes

The kind of souldead ghoul you'd have to be to want to farm out making funny little background jokes to an AI

Like, that's the best bit. Do you want a machine to eat your fucking dessert too

Can definitely relate to how much extra work it is!

And when something goes wrong, you have nobody to blame but yourself. :(

So we heard you like hidden stuff in games

Honestly I think the deep retro system knowledge has always been really hard to obtain. When most of it was relevant, the internet didn't/barely existed, and everything was behind NDAs. Even when I got into doing Gameboy dev in the late 90s, most of the stuff was in IRC and newsgroups.

If that's the case and you're serious, do some mentoring! Give them guidance on making their own folio pieces or games they could use in a folio! That's way less exploitative than an unpaid internship.

Still absolutely turns my soul to dust when people ask what I’ve worked on and someone responds with β€œOh I loved that game as a kid!”

On a related note I’m really looking forwards to your robot theme park where nothing can go wrong

24.02.2026 02:29 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

I have this thing where I never really trust anyone that I haven’t seen make a mistake and own up to it. Until I see that, they’re in a hyperposition of β€˜Might be trustworthy but might also be really good at deflecting blame and/or covering their own ass’.

Programmers like you describe are why.
