A) So there's this game called PIKUNIKU. The rendering style is flat vector-esq shapes. It works great for the game… Buuuut they also made this charming little trailer, with all that flat art remade in beautifully-lit plasticine. And it looks just so jolly!

B) The current prevailing computer GUI aesthetic is like a hangover of the iOS 7 flat design craze. It's milquetoast utilitarian. Hate it.

GUI designers — you now know what needs to be done! Let's do it!

TFW you learn the retailer you contract with was asking office employees to take store shifts in anticipation of store workers striking.

This contract is work-to-hire, but not entirely sure I want to be hired if I'm not only going to be asked to do something outside of my position but to also scab in the event of a strike.

Building my editor has also convinced me I want the opposite of web assembly.

I don’t want isolated, need to copy memory. I want a format for defining functions in any language. That just take arguments. They can access the things passed and even modify the data. No need to copy. No need for strict separation.

I find so many use cases for this over and over again.

Much of what is wrong with silicon valley AI culture in a single image.
