I finally made a new trailer for Chico's Rebound, and revamped the Steam page. Now it's a much better representation of what the game is like. Check it out! Sound on for some nice chiptunes too

Picross S Namco Legendary whatever (2024)
Making a note here to never play another Picross game again. Every time I buy one it completely takes over my life until it's over, leaving me empty inside. I have wasted too many hours of my life on this shit. Never again. Goodbye Picross. /K

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.
Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’

a common defence of genAI is it’s a tool, and tools are neutral and can be used in good or bad ways
but LLMs and transformers are tools - chatGPT is a *product*, openAI are using the tools in a bad way!
it‘s like arguing Amazon exploitative practices can be mitigated by shopping well with them

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.

I think I'll forever have a soft-spot for Analgesic Productions' games. No two are alike mechanically or even thematically, but they have a shared dreamlike feel to them. Fragmented worlds, strange prose and the *feel* of what videogames are below the surface.
Their next, Angeline Era, drops soon.

AI works* like "I have a friend who knows how to do that, I'll ask her"
you still don't know how
if the friend isn't there, you still can't do it
you won't learn how. why would you, your friend can do it
(ps you have to pay your friend, the cost will go way up it's run at a loss)

glad to see pushback
learning and skill growth happen when what we knew going into a problem weren't enough to answer and move on. AI flatters you to feel you know enough to get an answer out (often not right, but even if it were!), user doesn't have to become more capable, becomes dependent on it.
