Title made my day so I'm sharing it.

(Peter Molyneux is the game developer that always over-promises, not to be confused with Stefan Molyneux, who is just some fascist.)

It's trash as an idea generator.

The only useful thing I've gotten out of a (text) AI is asking it to guess functions of keyword mechanics in games. Like I was designing personality traits for AI leaders in a strategy game, and had a dozen bad candidates for "over produces defenses." So I told ChatGPT to try to guess the meanings of bunkerist, hoxhaist, prepper, turtle, protectionist, survivalist, isolationist, guardian. Which did narrow it down to bunkerist, turtle, and protectionist (note that this is literally wrong in the case of protectionist). Normally I'd try to poll a bunch of random people for this sort of thing, and try to avoid anyone who's trying to be clever. So it did save some work there.

It won't come up with anything useful going the other way around though ("list some possible names for traits of AI leaders in a strategy game"). Like I said, it doesn't work as an idea generator.

I guess in general it's probably useful if you're in a situation where you need to make sure your writing is very very clear. If ChatGPT can correctly summarize what you wrote, it's probably safe for people who are distracted or bad at reading or whatever.

Oh no! I decided to use the barred owl as my mascot.

How is he coping a feel at that angle? Is his right elbow two thirds of the way down his arm?

I like my thing, and I want to show it off to people I like!

I also need to show it off to as many strangers as will sit still long enough to shove it in their faces.

And the second thing makes me feel bad about doing the first thing, which I should actually like.

I need to post my gamedev progress on twitter because it's a major advertising channel and it'd be irresponsible of me not to.

But I really don't enjoy it.

One of the worst parts of getting older is that my mouth's spice tolerance keeps going up, but my stomach's spice tolerance keeps going down.

Cube 2 / Sauerbraten is apparently still being updated.

It's been like 15 years since I played it lol. But I remember it being a good Quake/Unreal style deathmatch shooter with a really sick level editor.

Please provide a list of this site's past struggle sessions so I can:

A - avoid them

B - deliberately invoke them in a trollish manner

on a case by case basis depending on my mood at the time.

Worst approximation of pi I've ever seen.

I don't know about tear, rip has some very worrying pronouns.
