Torn over how useful these are - main issue with the patterns is you really want them to be a multiple of the screen size, but 48x27 grid is quite inefficient to maintain (using about 20% of Magpie's budget) I'll have a look at making it more efficient later.
Some cellular tools and new patterns for Magpie inspired by Marathon's screen filters. #magpie #picotron
@wrench Honestly, me too! It's a hard thing to embrace. But I like that resistance I feel to it, it makes me think about why! Thanks for reading it :)

New Blog: Let Games Die

"Let Code Die is rooted in a trust that if we have code that we like and we lose it, we can write it again. What would it mean to trust ourselves as game developers, designers, critics and players in the same way?"

copilot happily gobbling up all the half-finished game frameworks i wrote during my phd, then turning green and shaking uncontrollably, and then turning into particles of light like a final fantasy 7 boss dying
before disallowing github to train on your code, consider: is it actually a better act of sabotage to feed your code into the ai. i spent fifteen years learning to code in a way that is precisely unintelligible to anyone or anything other than me.
My friend Sam Schorb (Damu) just went and printed one of my cellular automata designs super big on a thick board to put up in the studio, it looks amazin hehe, what a lovely dude <3
