Sorry you're getting one posters rant this morning: losing my mind at this post I saw looking at funny pokemon pictures where all 200 of the comments are people going "Lol...they're so bad at design" AND THEYRE ALL TALKING ABOUT A LOW LOD MODEL USED FOR AERIAL SHOTS.....AAAAAAAA

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

highly recommend this book even if you don't work on "procgen games". Thinking about how the player experience is assembled is valuable for ALL types of games.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Text from the final screen of the game Unfair Flips reading TOTAL FLIPS: 10

Final screen of the game Unfair Flips. Top left shows a speedrun timer at 10 minutes 55 seconds. Heads chance is 25%. Total flips is 10. Gar looks at the player. The coin is in ruins.

Yesterday we got news that our paper on speedrunning has been accepted, and fittingly yesterday I also earned a speedrun world record for the first time. What game? Doesn't matter. Not important. No further questions.

If I was a tutoring company and I wanted to convince you that I could teach your kids maths, I would probably not have an advert that said “3=2” on it!

That’s just me though.

Her: What room is this?
Me: It's Allen's sex dungeon.
