Watching a new anime always makes me worry I’m going to get “Usagi Drop”ed. If you know you know.

Finally, the test music for Rowan has been removed, to be replaced entirely by original tracks by [@eladhen](https://tooot.im/@eladhen ).

Quick sanity check -- @Ivor Hewitt is having trouble talking to the SD card in Sentinel 65X, and I'm now paranoid that I have the wiring wrong, which would be *incredibly* embarassing.

Sentinel 65X boards are arriving into people’s hands and I don’t know how to feel about it.

Make like those tanuki in Pon Poko: smack a polluter with your gigantic scrotum.

I just watched another couple’s marriage melt down in my dining room. I am now having a very quiet autistic meltdown.

“I don’t believe in transgender” Okay. Weird to hold a belief or lack thereof in something that demonstrably exists and is a major factor in the lives of about 1% of the population. I think what you mean is you don’t approve of it. In which case go fuck yourself and die.

A quick tour of the rooms I've added today.

Okay, got a couple more rooms done in the area around the MacGuffin residence. Not populated with enemies yet, mind. Just physically existing places.

Nice hot pot of oatmeal with butter and brown sugar. That warms you up.

Seriously. Fuck this weather.

Blizzard here. The city is shut down. This is a Canadian city, to be clear. Do you know how severe the weather has to be to shut us down?

Christ, my office is a freezer tonight. Not much work gonna get done up here. I have thus far managed one new room.

Full honesty: I can’t say I feel sad about what LLMs are doing to open source. The “community” has been due for some karmic comeuppance for decades. I don’t particularly like that it comes in a form that benefits even worse people, but I’m shedding no tears for GNU.

Any good recommendations for security cams for my back yard? We’ve about had it with prowlers and such.

This is what a room definition in my game looks like. One text file per room, with the info a small asset compiler uses to output binary that gets loaded into the REU and pulled out when needed. The actual graphics for the room are stored separately as a binary asset exported from CharPad Pro, where I draw the room using the selected tileset. This allows maximum flexibility in designing rooms -- I can use any tileset for any room, and have a consistent way to make any room I can come up with.

Okay. Let's assume I can design and implement and debug ten rooms with a full day's work. That's generous, but let's play pretend. That's still *months* of work to fully design the game world. So yeah. This is gonna take a while.

Today's work on my game consisted of fleshing out the MacGuffin home, so it looks more like people live there. #GameDev #C64 #C64U #Commodore #Retrocomputing

I've heard and listened and agreed with (most of) the negativity. But fair is fair: What good experiences have you had that involved an LLM, if any? This is not a thread to trash or defend LLMs, just an application of damning for what it is, not what we imagine it to be.
