if you read this i'm thankful for you, i'm thankful you've made it through an extraordinarily shitty year. i cannot promise that 2026 will be better but i can promise that you're making someone else's year slightly less shitty

i think the biggest issue with how game design is presented these days is that it skips the frustration and serendipity. lots of genius design moments happen by coincidence and then the designer explains it in the future as a story. there's lots of emptiness that gets skipped over in gdc talks

those who say "gen ai allows me to create art when otherwise i did not have the resources" seem to not understand that art requires significantly less in terms of resources than ai, the difference is someone else has told you how to spend those resources

i have (accidentally) worked with data for like a decade and the biggest thing i've learned is that the things people will say out loud will always contradict the actual data, the only way to hold people accountable is to measure and disseminate that data

in kingdom hearts 2 na if you use a limit that combines you and another character into one object against a world boss, and then manually dismiss it as they take fatal damage, you hard crash to bios with a disk error
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

there's a concept in game design that there's 4 types of players, and while i think player tendencies are more nuanced than that, you can identify a player as one of these types pretty quickly

the fucking ai code review bot at work made up an error and then when we asked it to cite the documentation it made up a package that would fix the error and tried to link its readme file
