@SandyofCthulhu what a weird way to talk about women. and what a weird segue. i don't know anything about dustborn but it looks like less than 10% of its budget was from an arts grant, which is a far cry from "brought to you by the establishment" what are you doing here sandy

When you first start dating a woman you never see her without her makeup. And then once she's got you hooked, you discover that the face you fell in love with is mostly Maybelline. This is how game ads work. A fave example of mine is Dustborn, a game about fighting the establishment brought to you BY the establishment. (Literally funded by EU tax dollars.) What are your examples?

@SandyofCthulhu she would have done all of that but also been so popular she was elected again?

I emphatically don’t agree with all Trump’s policies but Clandestine here speaks truth.

@ID_AA_Carmack astoundingly disrespectful. what a disappointment.

He was already well into a storied career, but I first knew “Burger” Bill Heineman as a big fish in the small pond of the Apple IIGS community at the start of the 90s, known for doing state of the art low level optimization on a platform with very limited commercial prospects. In 1992, the programmers in the early Id crew went to Kansas Fest, the grass roots Apple II convention, to show Silas Warner, the author of Castle Wolfenstein for the Apple II, our new take with Wolfenstein 3D. Someone seeing it for the first time on our laptop made the awed comment “Wow, I thought Bill Heineman was a hot programmer!” and I took that as a very substantial compliment. We started working with Bill shortly after that, and I really enjoyed talking shop and kicking around ideas with him. We had a lot of overlap in interests and skills, but he had impressive areas outside of my scope – Want to learn the details of Japanese game hardware? Learn to read Japanese technical manuals. Want to develop games for them, but they won’t give you a dev kit? Build your own hardware dev kit. I was very good at dropping into any system environment and getting shit done fast. He was probably better. Masters of Doom has the details, which I don’t trust myself to rehash from memory, but our collaboration on the SNES port of Wolfenstein 3D completely blew up and left us in a bad position, forcing me to drop what I was doing and do the port myself. We were mad, but eventually it was water under the bridge, and we wound up working together on additional Id projects afterwards. It was a useful cautionary tale about how brilliant technical people don’t always make wise decisions in other parts of their life. Bill became Rebecca, and we had email and Twitter contacts (@burgerbecky) over the years. We finally ran into each other again virtually at the covid Kansas Fest (still going after all these years!) and had some fun back and forth on ancient technical topics. They were living in Dallas with Jennell Jaquays, who had been a designer at Id, and I had some intention of getting out for a visit, but it never happened. I respect how they stayed technical, current, and sharp far longer than most programmers manage, shipping games over 40+ years with many, many generations of hardware. The driving force was always clearly the love of the work. 🫡

this administration is deeply evil, but also a fart in the wind. the president is the lynchpin holding it all together, and he's a lame duck who gets older every day. this too shall pass

they love hierarchy and obedience because it's simple, predictable they can't stand trans people because if you can simply decide to be (or not be) a man, then their most fundamental unit of hierarchy — women as subservient to men — doesn't mean anything. you can just opt out

israel is committing genocide charlie kirk was cruelty in a suit and there is nothing about him to mourn united states law enforcement is fucked up and unaccountable at every level and needs a complete overhaul

@EvieMelody ah... not much for generated images but i appreciate the thought!

@eevee Thought you'd find this cute ^^ it's the glitch Shenanigans found and I made some prompt art for it. I'll take requests for free. Sometimes I'm in luck sometimes not...

@EvieMelody wait what

@eevee Shadow blocked agaon.

people post the "nazi bar" story a lot but what would you do if the bar were owned by a nazi, i wonder

strawberry jam 9! make a horny game this february itch.io/jam/strawberry…

sorry it's hard to drum up an enthusiastic tweet here because this website is so bad now wow. racism on the timeline, are grok icons fucking everywhere. truly wretched. im out. join my jam though

@human8billion i used this website for fifteen years and have almost two hundred thousand posts

Doodled Eevee in a more rounder way

@matvelloso well that raises some other questions, like: did gemini actually use the video at all? it mentions the updated appliances in the kitchen but the text prompt explicitly asks it to. in fact the prompt is almost as long as the results. this smells almost fraudulent.

@eevee I think this could be auto fixed with the added address info and some system instructions but good catch

I'll start a thread of my favorite Gemini demos (feel free to send yours, I'll add it here):

@matvelloso it refers to the house as an apartment. that seems bad

Real Estate: Submit a whole video of the navigation of a house for sale and ask Gemini to write the sales pitch for it: x.com/dmfenton/statu…
