A kid pirating a game is not a "lost sale". That kid doesn't have the money to buy the game anyway. A kid with pirated games will however grow up to be into videogames, and buy a whole lot of them later in life. That money is what the game industry runs on.

Car got MOT, a guy replaced our power meter, I got some shelving units from the DIY shop. None of this is particularly noteworthy or interesting, but it has taken me completely out. Having one of these things in a day is exhausting imho, let alone three 😅

We're having our best month ever with DOS Game Club in terms of downloads right now, as we've broken 12k unique monthly downloads for the first time since we started back in March 2017. It makes sense that with a growing archive, the numbers only ever increase. But I'd like to think this only happens when new people keep finding the show, so that's nice! We never made this show because we want to reach a huge audience, but it's nice to know we're not speaking into the void.

@geonz@mathstodon.xyz Even if purchasing is owning, piracy still isn't stealing. Stealing means depraving someone of their property. That's not the case with software piracy, nobody is losing anything if the pirate never intended to buy the game anyway.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place @foone@digipres.club I've heard people say the wildest things about Mastodon. "there's no moderation", "they allow nazis" etc. idk why it's so hard for people to understand that even though the overall network might not have a single unified moderation policy, the individual instances most definitely have their own rules and you can easily join one that aligns with your own values.

My racing game hot take is you should start with the crazy fast vehicles and then work your way down to unlocking the slow clunkers as you progress, because driving the latter is actually way more fun and desirable than the former, so it only makes sense to have this way around.

Predicting the next step in programming: a specialized prompting language that takes away the ambiguity genAI. With a handful of powerful commands you can assume full control over what your app does.

Iterating has never been easier. Instead of generating new code, you just make changes to what you've written.

Amazing! No more guessing why your app doesn't do what you want. You'll be so productive!

I love this skit I saw today on the Dutch phenomenon of "interessantdoenerij" (literally: "doing interesting").

When someone is trying to make themselves seem more interesting than they are in order to get some attention... that's interessantdoenerij.

It's very frowned up on and seen as a waste of everyone's time haha

TIL NOFX's 2000 album "Pump Up The Valuum" opens with different lyrics, based on whether you bought it on CD, vinyl or cassette 🤯

CD lyrics:
Hello, welcome to our CD
Can you hear the blatant similarity
to Linoleum and Shadows of Defeat?

Vinyl lyrics:
Hello, welcome to our disc
Turn it louder, get your neighbours pissed
Or turn it down, it don't matter to me

Cassette lyrics:
Hello, welcome to our cassette
Have you started feeling some regret
I guess you can't afford a CD

@eniko there is no doubt there was a sense of optimism in the 90s among young people. Whether that was warranted or not is besides the point really, because it was there regardless and it allowed people to feel they could achieve anything they wanted, which was very empowering and freeing. The difference in vibe today couldn't be larger!

I took part in an online event called "Coverfest" where people were invited to make covers of well-known songs.

I made three! They're all as different from the original as I could manage hahah

You can listen to them here if you like: https://martijnfrazer.bandcamp.com/album/coverfest-2026

@venite Het is ook van de gekken. Volwassenen maken een zooitje van het internet en omdat ze geen zin hebben het op te ruimen, hebben ze nu besloten dat kinderen er niet op mogen. Maar ook: we wensen de mensen die denken doortastende pubers buiten de deur te kunnen houden veel succes haha

@chfkch yeah, and I feel the key part of a real code review is to ask the person who wrote it questions about the decisions they made and the reasoning behind them. None of that applies with generated code, you're just guessing why things are the way they are.

@ClarusPlusPlus would it be an option to see if your old employer has any work you could do as a freelancer? Idk if it would be awkward, but I did the same thing when I left my steady job and turned self-employed. They're still a client of mine now, 15 years later!

Thank god for the stranger who happened to be there and opened to the door for me while I was going "wtf". We talked a bit about the app and he said "it's such a hassle" and we left it at that. This is what things are like now I guess, a hassle for no reason whatsoever. I still have the key fob!

My friend Albrot asked people to submit covers of songs from a list.

I made three! Other people made some too, and we're going to listen to them all right now, over on https://twitch.tv/albrot

Come hang out if you like!
