Occasionally streams factory games and random indie stuff

Let's all work together to unlock the creative potential of Vtubing. There's still so many things left to explore!
good trading cards are such a fun little extra, though

problem is that Meta bet Horizon on the opposite: making building very simplistic, figuring that they'd get a lot more UGC with a low barrier to entry

instead, it was too simplistic to build anything interesting, so didn't attract creators

so of course they're doubling down, with AI

it's impressive how dedicated Meta's management is to absolutely refusing to learn a single lesson from decades of virtual world attempts

congrats on another year! feels like it's been such a short time since the last one

there's also a bunch of other larger issues, like the copyright problem (VERY important in open source) and the wildly disproportionate power usage

the spam problem with massive increases in randos submitting garbage is the more visible one

but in projects that've adopted LLM use, I've seen plenty of examples of knowledgeable longtime contributors introducing LLM-authored issues that required disproportionate effort and attention to catch

even that is too naive

the problem is that these tools are very good at making things that LOOK good at first glance, but bad at making things that actually ARE good

they encourage ALL contributors to put in less effort, not just randos, while increasing the effort needed to review their quality

you've got two hands and two eyes for a reason, and that reason is clearly so you can do two things

it was slapped together in a month so one browser could add something to the feature checklist

and yet it's still leagues better than every other attempt at a language for dynamic content on the web

it's a week from Halloween. if a skeleton can't feel big now, when can it? think of all the works you've created, and those you will create

finally figured out why

i made most of the program super extensible so it'd be easy to add new connections later, but Actions were only used for VTS at the time, so I must've skipped designing extensibility there

WHOOPS

well, now that I understand the problem, it's easy enough to fix
