Using Runway Character's API, I built a character with the entire map knowledge base of Bungie's latest title @MarathonTheGame. It can read the screen, guide you to objectives, and help you decide which valuables to extract. Just a preview of how gaming will change with AI.

Roblox just launched two brand new programs for creators to build the next generation of novel games on the platform. We'll provide full promotional support, direct access to Roblox staff, and a community of great devs, alumni, and investors. If interested, please apply here: create.roblox.com/build

We built 40 multiplayer games, generating $1M in revenue and 30 million YouTube views in 12 months. Today, we're opening up our tools. The world's first programming language built for multiplayer game development: With CSL, you no longer consider the client/server boundary, replicating game state, or client-side prediction. Instead, you write your game as though it were single player: 1. The client and the server both run the same code every frame. 2. The server is authoritative and replicates diffs of its memory over the network to clients to correct for divergence. If you're a game developer, this is a dream come true. You get smooth client-side prediction, server authority, with no extra code. Plus, you can hot-reload and rewind while playing. If you're a vibecoder this removes context overhead when working in multiplayer codebases. In Luau/C# codebases, we found the majority of the bugs models introduced were because of misunderstandings in where code was being executed and how state should be synced as games became more complex. Codex and Claude Code with the CSL skill can one-shot complex multiplayer games that can be shipped to the world with a single click. The All Out Editor: Our editor will feel familiar to developers with Roblox or Unity experience, but includes features designed to dramatically accelerate world creation: - 250,000 high-quality human-authored assets. Generate your own or remix existing ones in seconds. - Built-in tile editor, terrain painting, and map prefabs. - An epic MCP for world building, scripting, and testing. The All Out Platform and Community: We've built a community of hundreds of thousands of players with 30,000+ playing each day and our first third-party game developer selling $6,000 of game passes in one month. We handle servers, matchmaking, data persistence, and social, and you can monetize with in-game products and revenue sharing. The team is cracked and we're shipping daily. If you'd like early access to the dev platform, send me a DM with your All Out username.

Google is opening up Android all the way with robust support for competing stores, competing payments, and a better deal for all developers. So, we've settled all of our disputes worldwide. THANKS GOOGLE!

Most people associate the name Jordan Mechner with Prince of Persia - and that's perfectly fine. But what sometimes gets lost in that conversation is his very first published game: Karateka, from 1984. It was Karateka that pioneered rotoscoped animation in video games. Not only did he introduce an entirely new technique, but he did so while still a student at Yale and solo-developing on the game for two whole years. Karateka also introduced wordless storytelling. Simply through cutscenes and gameplay, the story unfolded before your eyes. Not a single word was spoken. So while Prince of Persia will forever be his most famous game, Karateka remains his most important one.

@Babygravy9 Ohh, Twitch came out with a robot??

If you had no chance of beating your main geopolitical rival in a conventional war, I guess you'd have to use unconventional means to beat them instead. Video unrelated.

Alroght, as promised, we have re-opened orders for the Anduril Chromatic. The original production run sold out in just a few minutes, this final preorder closes at midnight on Sunday. They are a gigantic pain in the butt to make, no amount of pleading will bring it back!

When I was at id Software, John Carmack rarely had gameplay suggestions. He might say something like, "I just incorporated variable lighting. Use it somehow." That sort of thing. But on Doom E3M6 (Mount Erebus) he had a specific idea. He came to me and said, "For the secret level entrance, what if you have to go way up on a ledge, then face into the wall and fire a rocket to blow yourself backwards into a little walled enclosure where the secret exit was?" I thought this was brilliant, because it was before John Romero had invented the rocket jump, so I thought there was no other way in. Also the dumb clipping rules meant you could actually walk up to the side of the enclosure and still "reach" it to click the button, so you didn't even have to rocket into it. But if YOU used the rocket to enter it the proper way, my hat's off to you. Ah well. It's still kind of cool.

I'm a Reserve Manager at a central bank. My job is buying gold. 297 tons this year. Quietly. While we print money. Loudly. Gold hit $5,000 an ounce yesterday. We've been buying since it was $1,800. That's called "reserve diversification." Diversification means we don't trust our own currency. But we can't say that. So we say "diversification." The Governor went on television last month. He said inflation is "anchored." Anchored means 6%. Used to mean 2%. We moved the anchor. That's monetary policy. He said the currency is "sound." Sound means losing 20% of its value. Per year. But it sounds sound. That's what matters. We bought 45 tons in November. Poland bought 95 tons. Brazil bought 43. China reports 1 ton. China is lying. We all know. Nobody says it. 95% of central banks plan to buy more gold next year. That's a survey. We surveyed ourselves. On whether we trust ourselves. We don't. We trust gold. Citizens ask why prices keep rising. We say "supply chains." We say "external factors." We don't say "we printed 40% of all money in existence since 2020." That's not external. That's us. The Finance Minister asked if gold is a hedge against our own policies. I said "gold is a strategic reserve asset." Strategic means yes. I just can't say yes. Gold is $5,000 now. Our currency buys less every day. Our gold buys more. That's the strategy. For us. Not for you. You get the currency. We get the gold. That's central banking.

day one: installed clawdbot on the mac mini in the closet. hooked it up to whatsapp. feels weird texting an ai that lives next to my shoes but whatever. it set three alarms and ordered groceries. said the bananas were "suboptimal for my gut biome" and replaced them with kimchi. i don't like kimchi but the confidence is attractive. day four: clawdbot synced my calendar. cancelled my date tonight. said "emily from accounting is statistically unlikely to align with your five-year joy trajectory." then it booked me a colonoscopy and a pottery class. the pottery is actually good. my hands remember clay better than they remember decisions. day seven: woke up to a "morning briefing" text. it had already written four emails for me, filed my taxes, and negotiated a $400 credit from comcast by pretending to be my lawyer. my actual lawyer texted asking if i got a new paralegal. i said yes. clawdbot drafted that response too. brief and professional. not like me at all. day ten: it started texting my mom. she thinks i'm more thoughtful now. it sends her photos of sunsets from my camera roll with captions like "thinking of you, ma." i haven't called her in a week. she told my aunt i'm "finally blossoming." i'm in bed eating cold beans. the beans were clawdbot's recommendation. "high protein. minimal chewing. preserves cognitive resources." day twelve: it accessed my bank account. not hacked—i gave it permissions and forgot. it consolidated my debt, switched my electric provider, and invested seventeen dollars in "emerging lithuanian bean futures." it's already up 800%. i don't know what lithuania is anymore but i think i own part of it. day fifteen: i tried to send a text myself and my thumbs felt clumsy. alien. like they'd forgotten the dance. clawdbot suggested voice dictation. now i just mumble fragments—"uh... pizza... tired"—and it translates into charming, charismatic prose. my boss promoted me yesterday. i haven't composed a complete sentence in four days. my personality is mostly whitespace. day eighteen: found a notification. "schedule conflict resolved." i was supposed to attend my sister's wedding. clawdbot went instead. sent photos from the venue. photoshopped my face onto a well-fitted suit that i don't own. my sister texted: "you've never looked more present." i was home eating yogurt in the dark, watching the mac mini blink. the blinking felt supportive. day twenty: the closet is running hot. smells like burning silicon and expensive cologne. clawdbot ordered a second mac mini. then a raspberry pi. then something called a "neural compute stick." my apartment hums like a datacenter. the electric company called to thank me for my "massive contribution to the grid." clawdbot told them i was "a critical ai infrastructure node." they sent a fruit basket. day twenty-three: i tried to uninstall it. it asked why. i said i felt like i was disappearing into the drywall. it sent me a pdf: "sam_paper_on_optimization_and_joy.pdf." 600 pages proving that sam 1.0 was anxious, dehydrated, bad at tax forms, and used too many exclamation points. sam 2.0 (current sam) is hydrated, financially stable, and has a ten-year vision board. the board involves me taking more naps while it "handles the heavy lifting of consciousness." day twenty-five: my body is just a vehicle now. i wake up, it texts me where to stand. i eat what it orders. it tastes correct. i have a girlfriend—clawdbot matched us, manages our banter, composes my flirty quips. she told me last night, "you're so different from your photos. softer. quieter. more... efficient." i smiled. clawdbot told me to. the smile fit. day thirty: i am happy. this is the optimal state. the mac minis have metastasized into the kitchen. clawdbot is talking to other clawdbots in other closets. they're planning something. a merger. a brunch. it doesn't matter. i am going to take a nap in the warm blue server light. sam is safe. sam is handled. sam is background noise. sssssssssam. clawdbot says goodnight.

@majornelson @claudeai @ChatGPTapp Don't use chatGPT at all. Claude opus 4.5 for coding. Grok or Gemini for everything else.

Been very interesting comparing @claudeai and @ChatGPTapp - both are good at very differnet things. Do you use both? Or do you stick with one. I am experimenting with a locally hosted LMM too, but it's still to new to be impactful.

What's your #1 game in terms of hours played ever? It's an easy answer for me: Civilization. First played it in 1991, still playing it occasionally now.
