I play games in both analytical and self imposed challenges. I tend to play simulation, tycoon, city builders, settlement builders, survival crafters, etc.

With automation it's important to avoid it becoming a scalable source of systemic harm.

Some tips:

- Systems must be genuinely challengeable
- Systems must not be their own source of truth
- Systems should be assumed wrong and challenged as such regularly in different ways.

"Your score has decreased"

"Your score rating has decreased"

Okay... So my score decreased. Makes sense, it's I simply didn't score as high this time, got it... But my score rating?

So like, my score's score? Are you self assessing the score you gave me and found your scoring of me not as good?

Pretty much sums up my view on GenAI. This past year I've wound up stopping doing business with a lot of companies over forcing GenAI on me.

I've watched peers in software dev both who resisted and embraced AI get laid off by companies chasing GenAI.

GenAI is doing harm at scale for profit.

... Only way I'm sold on this would be if it's explained in universe that this is all happening in your brain as you're slowly dying to an overdose of a hallucinatigenic and "winning" means survival.

But that'd require imagination or talent... At which point it'd be easier to accomplish without AI.
Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

... Why... Why does Disneyland have better NASA merch than NASA? (Excluding the astronaut uniforms NASA wins there)

So many solid science shirts just hidden away by Space Mountain.

One of my favorite archetypes is the little old lady who plays nice innocent granny... But is also an absolute degenerate troll.

Until things are really bad then you find she's got a heart of gold and goes out of her way to help you quietly.

Then trolls you again. Got a reputation to keep and all.

I find the psychology of content creation fascinating.

You look at today's numbers and stress over "number go down!", because this is the time of year number go down.

... Even when you directly compare with last year and your slump this year is close to last year's peak.

... But number go down!

Hello Devs, Publishers, and other parties going to #TwitchCon looking to connect with creators! I'd love to connect while I'm there! Drop me a message here or my email in my profile. My Saturday is getting a smidge stacked, but I have plenty of availability on Friday and Sunday!

Remind AI is not conscious, is not sentient, and is not sapient.

It's also not a "we're close" or "soon" level. We're in a "this isn't even theoretically possible under our current understanding" level.

Comparing to building a car, we're at the "we just discovered how to make stone tools" level.

For those stressing about the viewership dip these past few weeks.

This happens almost every year around this time. It's a dip that is roughly aligned with kids going back to school and beginning of a number of industries ramping up for holiday sales.

It sucks, but is normal.

I think Final Fantasy Tactics was the first game I figured out how to properly break balance wise.

Monk / Cleric was extremely abusable where one character could single handled defeat the entire enemy force.

There were other absolutely broken setups you could make. I appreciate breakable games.

For those checking their list of viewers and counting how many are there vs their view count.

Don't, the viewer list is cached so includes people who joined your stream and left for a fairly long time frame.

This can make the viewer list longer by magnitudes.

Lurkers DO count.

Been cycling through so many games I previously played that have had major updates has been wonderful.

Keep Driving, Medieval Dynasty, etc

Looking forward to Mars First Logic, Big Ambitions, Discounty, etc.

Been some solid new titles too, this coming month will be chaos.

If you're going to TwitchCon and are able, you should strongly consider getting your flu and COVID shots this week since they take ~2 weeks to reach full efficacy.

Getting sick at cons is pretty common. Doing what you can to mitigate risk helps everyone attending because being sick sucks.

I'll be attending #TwitchCon this year! If you're a member of the community, game developer, publisher, vendor, potential sponsor, etc I'd love to chat!

Email in my profile works best, but comments and DMs work as well if you prefer that.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Final Fantasy Tactics was such an influential game to young me.

I was at an age where I was noticing more and more the world I thought I lived in vs actually lived in were not the same.

"What purpose do laws serve when even those who would enforce them choose not to pay them heed?" Hit hard.
The Ivalice Chronicles adds smart refinements to an all time classic, honing it to a sheen. But it’s impossible to play this game and not see it reflected in the state of modern America. I wrote about that, and the idea of resistance for Rolling Stone www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...
Final Fantasy Tactics' Themes of Class and Resistance Hit Way Harder in 2025
Square Enix's 'Final Fantasy Tactics' told a tragic tale of classism. Its remake is doing even more
