I hope to occasionally be a light for someone in a dark place through humor.
I might be a cartoon.

That's what he/they said.Feel free to use them.

Got a very basic league mode working for my football game "Ballsy! League" โšฝ No transfers, tactics or anything fancy yet, but it can generate a list of fixtures that make up the season, you can progress through them, and there's record-keeping.

My idea is: prioritize making the league mode (and the game as a whole) playable, as simple as possible, then refine later.

This has 2 advantages:
- I can actually play through the game now and then, this keeps motivation up
- If I ever stop working on the game for whatever reason, I still have something that is playable.

The latter won't happen unless I prematurely die, or can't code anymore for health reasons; but as dumb as that sounds, that's important to me.

Because the idea that all my hard work is lost if I die is keeping me up at night. So I want to get to a minimum functional product ASAP. Am getting pretty close now :)

(I should soon set up some mechanisms so that a friend can salvage my code in that emergency case, and open source it somewhere..  same for my racing game side project, that one is also getting too good to get lost..)

This is the first time I have ever used the term "my culture", and I feel a whole lot of things right now.
Sorry, I am working on my swearing outright, but this is simply descriptive, and a deep sign of respect in my culture.
Happy Father's Day Motherfuckers.
woke up to a nice message from my eldest daughter, and I'm happy to report that I've already scored 10,000 dad joke points

Re: My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts

Re: My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts There was a post recently that was dissing AI Skeptics. While the post is funny at times, I feel like itโ€™s absolutely and completely missing the point of the skepticism. Or at least I feel that it is glossing over some massive pain points of said skepticism. Letโ€™s go over some of the points and the things that stuck out to me as problematic.

Going "fungal". Like going viral, but more organic because you're on the Fediverse and no artificial algorithm helped.
