Watch the film Sátántangó in one sitting with no distraction. If you can do that, you are healed. I imagine a chronic tiktok user would find the film a form of torture.

Extremely interesting use case. LLMs as a modding tool to recontexualize virtual spaces. I can see this being a tool used for artistic intervention in the same vein as plunderludic tools like Unity Hawk which allows you to run emulator sav

It looks good, but it doesn't seem like a learning app and more like a practice app with just a big list of words. I was presented with multiple choices for things I wasn't taught. Closed sourced apps have a curriculum and guided

Is it still too hard for people to make their own website blog / newsletters? I know it takes a bit of technical knowledge, but compared to a decade ago there are so many options and tutorials. It's comical at this point the numbe

I saw this amish documentary and how they still need to use some modern tech to do their work. One of the people had a cellphone that they only use in a tiny shack a bit of walk from their home, so it adds a lot of friction.

A post went viral here for a culture magazine I work for. It led to the writer getting employee of the month at a big all hands meeting, along with our host shutting down our Google indexing thinking that we were under attack.

I may likely be limiting my audience since many people are used to 60fps and higher now. I'm slightly strange in that I think on a visual level, it just does not match my intent as I actually prefer the lack of visual clarity in art. I

I'm curious what you think of games at low frame rate for artistic intention. I'm making a game and locking it at 30fps not for technical limitations, but because I actually like feel of it compared to the overly smooth high FPS.

Same. All this AI art slop has made me get back into making art. I get that trying to copy others is a good way to learn, but what motivates me now is creating something that feels original and unique. Something that an AI would never try t

Been working on a games curation site that is focused on hyper specific themes ( https://exhibitplay.com/ ). I find game genres to be so broad, which makes discovery a boring process. My idea is to take a curatorial approach

It's astonishing. A bit scary actually. Can easily see the role of front-end slowly morphing into a single person team managing a set of AI tools. More of an architecture role.

I read an interesting thread about this in relation to game dev. Development is ugly, so a lot of audience building and investor potential comes from creating visually appealing gameplay demos and mechanics. Often they are made separate fro
