Dude's rock

that is one of the more common patterns, yeah

ok, super satisfied with the overall generation results and assets. here is a mountaintop labyrinth.

Uh huh

The first time I won a big all-in pot at a poker table the dealer reached out to indicate he needed to count my chips and I shook his hand

it is really something special. appreciate you pointing out how it handles children; that was an aspect that really landed with me upon a replay (and I later wrote about) www.crossplay.news/p/pentiment-...

but above all, & the thing that makes it so sticky to me: gameplay anchored in the daily rhythms of life, giving you a kinetic sense of place & time (Reformation Germany), then pulling you out to a generational view that enriches the day scale AND the sweeping historical scale its sandwiched between

there's a lot to love -sweeping historical change playing out at the personal level -bright & characterful artstyle and inspired attention to the full sensory range of writing as a practice, and to text as its artifact -heartfelt portrayal of children (a detail that makes sense as the game unfolds)

I think about Pentiment all the time. I really liked it when I played it but I didn't anticipate how much it'd stick

@lithovore.bsky.social would yours work with this setup?

it's okay to take a graham platner doubter victory lap today — most pointedly because a victory lap in this case means simply walking normally without stepping on the giant rakes labelled with totenkopfs

the good thing about keeping a diary / having a hallway design chat with an agent is that it's all documented for reuse/iteration elsewhere. the bad thing is that, when your hallway is the command line you stop talking to people

that was daily show (yet another show)😄

oh no, I will take metasubtext or even submetatext over confusing colbert and bill maher lol

I think from there you can probably derive some consistent set of principles around what is robbed from art vs. code vs. artcode when the category of thing that is asking for your effort changes from human to nonhuman

but yeah in computer terms I'd say it's the effortful compilation of meaning from "source" text that produces an art-like effect in the human arts. Compilation of a computer program into its "meaning" is (for the sake of the analogy) effortless. Compilation of ideas into source code is effortful tho
