@eniko I sometimes get around to making small games, and recently released a game that I have wanted to make for some time called...Sometimes!

It's available for free on itch.io!

Spinoff #2: as-of-yet unnamed tactical strategy puzzler in the spirit of Into the Breach, starring Baba characters!

@eniko I’m very new to mastodon but already love the community. I’ll be posting a lot of pixel art and game dev related stuff in the future and would really appreciate the boost. https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@liberabyte/110633993244045145

@ocornut EU cookie law is not the problem. You don't need to ask for consent for essential cookies, like the ones that store your login session ID or the shopping cart in a web store.

Every time you see the cookie popup, it's about selling your browsing data to third parties.

We see these popups everywhere and the reasoning is "the EU did something stupid", but it's the opposite. They caught the thieves red-handed.

"We value your privacy." Yeah, no shit. By putting a monetary value on it.

lol i've been banging pots and pans about this for years now because the t.co shortener goes down in brazil every other day but nobody cares if the first world can still access it

Mastodon strikes me as more of an indie space than a place where people hire or get hired, but just for the record: Daedalic has now officially stopped internal game development. That means pretty much everyone who worked on Gollum was laid off.

In other words, if you need a designer, a programmer or an artist who already is skilled at working remotely, now is good opportunity to hire some really nice people.

I just found a WONDERFUL new use of AI!

I just contacted a vendor for support through their web chat interface, and the agent I got responded with one of those terrible canned responses that has nothing to do with my actual issue.

This has long infuriated me, but today, thanks to AI, I realized I had a new option for dealing with it!

Inspired, I replied, "Hey, you sound like an AI which hasn't understood my issue. Could you get a human to read my ticket?"

This is tremendous! Now that we have LLMs in the wild, when a human flunks the Turing Test, I can politely accuse them of being an AI and ask them to escalate my interaction to a human.

Everybody should do this. It will transform customer service.

New solitaire in the works, this time about letting you tear the cards in half and use the pieces!
