It's 2026 and there are only two types of movie trailers: the M83 trailer and the every beat is a percussion hit trailer

The great irony of creative people (especially in venues like this) being reflexively and violently angrily against any application of AI is that, for writing code with AI agents, the ability to compose your thoughts in a literate and coherent fashion is absolutely essential.

Thinking "when your Lua game logic is final, you can ask the robot to port it to Zig", followed by the sudden realization that a likely future of visual programming is you holding a hand-drawn diagram into the webcam to have a local model/agent implement it as native code

Just in case you're wondering, I'm woop coding this *alongside* Chatto. Lots of waiting for CI and builds these days! Ugh!

Hi, do you like hot-reloading game logic? This dumb little woop coded game engine is 100% ECS (via flecs) and lets you implement individual systems in Lua. They're hot-reloaded and can run in parallel because each system gets its own Lua VM.

I'm so tired of bullies

If you are in this picture, please think about to what extent you want others to judge or comment on what you do, and in the future try and interact with your friends the same way that you want them to interact with you.

Since for some reason today saw multiple instances of friends policing what I do or say here: please know that this is vastly more annoying and hurtful than most of everything else that happens around these parts, and ultimately just makes me want to talk to you a little less.

Electron apps are fine, life is beautiful!

Oh yeah, it's definitely the same strain of thinking. Gatekeepers want to gatekeep because they can't stand the thought of other people possibly having an easier time than them, or even just doing the same thing as them.

I'm remaining in the "it's just gatekeeping" camp (which is awfully close to that, I fear). Before AI the same people were whining about "Electron apps". Before that it was "scripting languages".

It's always the same people.

ok dad

The clanker can just run random Lua while your game is running and have it make screenshots to verify the results. #lunatic

'@username has added you to the "Dick heads that make block lists" moderation list'

I don't have a single block list, but good riddance I guess?

How long are you going to be there?

I don't know where this is going but it's going no place sane

One of the worst parts of Bluesky, especially with new accounts having set "Rude" posts to "hidden" out of the box. Who would want to seriously invest in growing an account with this.

I wish this weren't true.

I want this (to become mainline) so much

ugh

If you hate it when your clanker tries to vertically center a DIV, wait until it writes an SSR shader

Taught my dumb little toy engine some GPU-driven rendering. I love ECS for this stuff. (Speaking of which, also migrated to flecs to replace zig-ecs.)
