I guarantee that all of the games I’ve made and continue to make are AI free. In fact, all of my works are 100% free of any kind of intelligence.

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

Character idea: A guy who bought an iced coffee and the barista put too much milk in it. The guy carries it because he doesn’t want to throw it out and waste money. Everyone he talks to comments on it.
“Are you drinking a cup of iced milk?”
And he gets so mad trying to defend it over and over.
