Brother you can @ me if you want

I Played 'The Boys Are Back in Town' on a Bar Jukebox Until I Got Kicked Out The boys were back in town, but I was out of the bar, because they asked me to leave.

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

So this really wasn't an exaggeration

A conversation. 1: How long has it been like this? 2: On April 7th, 2026, people stopped being born. On the same day, people stopped dying, and people stopped aging. 3: Ham cheese. ham cracker. cheese cracker. ham and cheese cracker. ham and cheese. 1: Why? 2: We don't know. Nobody knows.

Today, April 7, 2026, humans inexplicably stop aging, dying and being born (17776 or What Football Will Look Like in the Future by Jon Bois, 2017)

I bet every open source project is getting absolutely hammered by dogshit vibe coded PRs and nothing is getting merged for some of these load bearing projects ever again

Been thinking more about this. The issue isn't stacking puzzles, it's that it gives you a puzzle/problem to solve to get to a door, but then the door is locked, and you get nothing from solving layer 1 of the puzzle. At least let me in the damn door to reveal the next layer.

Yeah there's a lot of RNG manipulation that just feels inappropriate for the kinds of mystery and problem solving the game wants to support.

Also a lot of puzzle solutions end up with rewards that boil down to "jk solve another puzzle I haven't told you about first pls"

Blue Prince reminds me of the insecure dungeon master; too afraid to tell you plot too early lest you go and kill the big bad in session 4

There are two types of Game. Games with graphs (good) and Games without graphs (not as good).

Every game needs a graph

SO. I tried it. I am like 5% not enough of a spreadsheet sicko to get into it.

Can you survive off 10k sales for a $15 game? | Grey Alien Games Get more from Grey Alien Games on Patreon

Seeing as making $100k from a game is topic right now (Valve said 6000 games in 2025 made $100k+ each) this is a good time to read this:

Write docs for developers, any docs that the developers don't understand were not written well enough for the developers and need to be re-written. Writing documentation isn't some act of pointless self-flagellation, it's technical writing for a specific audience.

I'm not going to sit here and pretend that LLMs don't have use cases, but using it to "actually understand the game design documentation" is not going to be one of them

lol. lmao, even

Wikipedia entry for dinkus In typography, a dinkus is a typographic device or convention that typically consists of three spaced asterisks or bullet symbols in a horizontal row, e.g.   ∗ ∗ ∗   or   • • •  . The device has a variety of uses, and it usually denotes an intentional omission or a logical "break" of varying degree in a written work. This latter use is similar to a subsection, and it indicates that the subsequent text should be re-contextualized. Such a dinkus typically appears centrally aligned on a line of its own with vertical spacing before and after the device. The dinkus has been in use in various forms since c. 1850.[1][2] Historically, the dinkus was often represented as an asterism, ⁂, though this has fallen out of favor and is now nearly obsolete.

perennial reminder that this typographic thing:

is called a "dinkus"

this is genuinely incredible

The most recent episode of Heated Rivalry is currently the 14th best-rated episode of all time on IMDB with a 9.9/10 so yeah, it’s not just “hockey smut,” like some journalists would lead you to believe.

"ignorance is useful with direction and bad with design."

That's such a good distinction and insight. Hell yeah.

maybe i am going insane
