what i built for @Ronin_Network in 2024 pixels.tips / @pixels_online runiverse.wiki / @RuniverseGame pixelheroes.tips / @PixelHeroesMMO wildforest.wiki / @playwildforest ragmon.wiki / @RagmonNFT and im just getting started

@Ronin_Network Been saying for years that @pixels_online should add this to make the resources actually be used for something

SFL: Project II brings a new genre into their ecosystem. Have you played yet?

@nftsasha Btw I lost $250k in axie running a guild of 100+ scholars. Or maybe it was 1000 I can't rmb

@nftsasha Couple years till I got shut down by the neopets company 😂 they contacted my PayPal and domain registrar and gg

hmm wasn't Axie a 10x improvement? what game in web2 does any p2e that's anywhere near, say, MoG level? CS requires crazy hours for a chance to earn, the rest of it is gambling. Gold farming in WoW was so much effort. sincere questions Mr Jihoz, plz explain

@ThetaForgeCo What's pillow? Google pillow UI app but nothing comes up

I finally cracked the GenAI HUD workflow for games. The trick is NOT “generate one pretty UI PNG and slap it on screen.” The real pipeline: 1. Generate the concept 2. Regenerate each usable part separately 3. Chroma-key + cut transparency with Pillow 4. Measure the transparent cutout spaces in Pillow 5. Use those exact pixel bounds for live CSS layers 6. Build the HUD in React/Svelte with real state, text, inputs, bars, and animation That’s how HP bars, sockets, tabs, chat panes, action slots, and scroll areas sit INSIDE the art instead of floating on top of it. GenAI gives the fantasy detail. Pillow gives production measurements. CSS/SVG gives behavior. React/Svelte makes it a real game UI. Thread 👇

@Sensei_Odin Will the devs do something?

unstaked all my ronin:native today, seeing as the migration is tomorrow put in ~$40k for ~10k ron got 1139 ron in rewards the value is down to ~$1.1k there's a lesson in there somewhere

@JacobDubin @kristijan_kralj Abstraction good. Over-abstraction bad.

I like the sentiment. I don’t agree with the premise. I’d say abstraction is actually logical. Otherwise we’d all be writing in 1s and 0s. Each level of abstraction adds needed value but the value must continue to outweigh the cost. That’s the difference between good design and a messy maze of abstraction. At some point someone will make a decision that affects every decision that follows. Try and make good ones.

The hidden cost of "enterprise" .NET architecture: Debugging hell. I've spent 13+ years in .NET codebases, and I keep seeing the same pattern: Teams add layers upon layers, to solve the problems they don't have. IUserService calls IUserRepository. IUserRepository wraps IUserDataAccess. IUserDataAccess calls IUserQueryBuilder. IUserQueryBuilder finally hits the database. I've seen a lot of classes having one-line methods whose sole purpose was to call the next layer and that's it. But to change one validation rule, you step through 5 layers. To fix a bug, you open 7 files. The justification is always the same: "What if we need to swap out Entity Framework?" "What if we switch databases?" "What if we need multiple implementations?" What if this, what if that. The reality: Those "what ifs" don't come to life in 99% of cases. I haven't worked on a project where we had to swap the ORM. But I've seen dozens of developers waste hours navigating through abstraction mazes. This happens with both new and experienced developers. New developers asking on Slack all the time: "Where to put this new piece of code?" But senior developers are too busy to answer that message. Why? Because they are debugging through the code that has more layers than a wedding cake. The end result? You spend more time navigating than building. Good abstractions hide complexity. Bad abstractions ARE the complexity. And most enterprise .NET apps? Way too much of the second kind.

@JohnnyCrambo @mattertot Me when I engagement farm

@mattertot I definitely messed up not adding it. My mistake

what do you think the best Mew card is?

@ctatedev You will just end up reinventing a frontend framework lol

For 100% agent-written frontends, I keep coming back to this: Maybe we don't start with a frontend framework Maybe we start with an index.html, browser primitives, Web Components for reusable UI and a strict convention for how agents route, render, mutate state and handle data

@nightkingog @DavidOndrej1 Keystroke latency

@DavidOndrej1 What do i get from it, apart from paying some extra dollars?

stop developing locally start developing on a VPS trust me

@WhimsicottVG Doesn't it get 1 shot by bullet punch

Mega Aerodactyl is the best pokemon in MA and you are trolling if you don’t use one. It has 0 sufficient checks

@popcrnshower @ChristinaTasty stop with the paid acting man

@ChristinaTasty There is always someone out there that finds a way to hate on a critically acclaimed game

Explaining why I, personally, hate Mixtape in just under 3 minutes of totally uninterrupted "gameplay" (Spoilers):

@chefdavenyc @HayhaBots this is why i cancel my cards every couple years

Holy shit I’m definitely retarded for not noticing this, but I haven’t botted sneakers since like 2021 & just realized @HayhaBots is charging me $50 a month for the past 5 years lmaooo How the fuck can I cancel this 😭

@Kramaramb Shoulda used bulbasaur in the photo

Homie figured out how to sell weed on facebook marketplace 💀

@icanvardar This was obvious to me the moment I started using RSC. The world is insane.

i'm done with nextjs. rsc looks good on paper but in practice turns simple apps into distributed systems nobody asked for. you stop thinking in react and start thinking in server/client boundaries and caching rules. it adds abstraction instead of clarity

@morganlinton Why not just the the Max plan instead of paying per token?

Officially canceling our Anthropic plan, it’s Codex + Cursor for my little 16 person eng team. Anthropic is great for companies that can spend $2,000/mo and up per engineer, but not affordable for us. Codex really upped their game recently, and with GPT 5.5, it’s just so good, and so token efficient. Still using Cursor plenty, my team still looks and reviews a lot of code. But with Cursor, we’ve never hit a limit, and Composer 2 is pretty awesome for most stuff. Testing out Droid as well and see some good early results with Droid + GLM 5.1, but still more testing to do before rolling it out to the whole team. My guess is many more engineering leaders will be sending messages like this. Anthropic makes great stuff but phew, it’s so darn token hungry. My team loves Codex and Cursor, onward!

@thegenioo TUI > GUI. Many such cases

I've noticed that hardcore coders prefer using Codex in CLI rather than macOS app What's the reason?

@DuySlimeGaming @AquariumQuestCo Will check it out

@based64_eth @AquariumQuestCo Hmm, bro, maybe you could do some research on High Sea Saga; that game is pretty good too.

. @AquariumQuestCo dungeons should be out sometime this year. This will be the main single-player progression mode. Gameplay is inspired by Digimon World 2. It's not going to be some lame MOG knockoff, although the overworld traversal might look similar (grid-based fog of war)

@DuySlimeGaming @AquariumQuestCo Yeah all of these are essentially standalone games but integrated in the AQ mmorpg world x.com/i/status/20531…

@based64_eth @AquariumQuestCo Hmmm, but do we have more unique gameplay, Bro? :( I think having too many different map types is a bit boring.
