Yoooo, I’ve been playing 3 games this week:

Uppers

A miracle happened: Steam recommended me a game I ended up actually enjoying. What an insane mess this game is 😂 Last I played it, it had me kick someone into a flying helicopter, it exploded, and the game crashed. Absolute insanity, I love it.

Assault Android Cactus+

OK, I’m back: finally got over my gripes with the game and can officially say I’ve been converted to a fan. Honestly, in a world where nearly every western twin-stick shooter is some kind of rogue- variant, this game is worth supporting, even though it’s old. I respect Isaac and its legion of mimics, but I find games like this and Nex Machina much more fun. Arcade design FTW 🤘

Finally went on sale! I waited for a year! Totally worth the wait! What an intense, fun game. Probably my 3rd favorite shmup on Steam, after Crimzon Clover and Hellsinker. I look forward to practicing 1CCs.

So are citizens in on it? Or is this yet another case of politicians selling out their communities?

Either way, I’m awed by the tenacity to follow money straight into hell.

I would LOVE to see how this increases code quality 😂 I have to use AI coding tools at work, and they’re quick, but the code they generate is DOGSHIT. Iterate so many times on even the simplest of projects, and insanity is bound to unfold.

You ABSOLUTELY need to babysit it, which is more trouble than it’s worth for big projects.

You know, watching cartoons when I was young, I always thought it’s unrealistic the bad guys keep trying the same insane plan to “take over the world” or whatever when the hero had foiled like 1,000 of those already… I always thought “no way villains are this stupid”

Fuck me, what did I know? Turns out they actually are.

Does this mean it’s walled off? Like a nonfederated instance of TikTok?
