Judero lookin’ asses
(Judero is actually an amazing game and a work of art. Go play it, if you like the idea of a game made fully in clay + spare pieces laying around the creator’s house)
- Comment on Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected for 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet 23 hours ago:
From the software engineer in the article:
“I think there’s this problem where people are stuck in the old world business mindset of, well, if I can do the same work that 10 developers were doing with one developer, let’s just cut the developer team instead of saying, oh, well, we’ve got a 10 developer team, let’s do 1,000x the work that we were doing before,” K says.
Buddy, there is no “old world business mindset”, this is capitalism as usual. Even IF (big IF), an employer can get 1000x the output, you guys will NOT get 1000x the compensation. This is exploitation
Let’s put this to rest: when productivity boosts are touted as a benefit from using AI, it doesn’t mean shit if you work for someone else (i.e. you don’t really own your work)
- Comment on Ori Studio Head Says Review Bombing Might Force Studio Closure, Then Takes It All Back 3 days ago:
Oh damn. I was going to get the Ori games but will spend my money elsewhere. Thanks for the heads up.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 1 week ago:
A couple times in Linda Cubed Again. The game’s next objectives are told to you by characters, or through the in-game voicemail system.
However, there is no “current quest” screen so if you take a break from the game, you can easily forget where you left off.
Also, it doesn’t help that the game was only released in Japan (and fan translated only recently) so there’s not a lot of walkthroughs you can follow.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 1 week ago:
It’s a GUI tool that gives you the ability to tag songs in bulk. It uses the MusicBrainz database to provide relevant metadata, and also provides user plugins (like the Last.fm plugin I mentioned)
I get my songs in batches (through Bandcamp and youtube-dlp) every couple of months, so GUI is fine for me.
However, I’m seeing a CLI alternative called beets.io ? Apparently it is a CLI tool that also queries the MusicBrainz database (or Beatport, or Discogs), and apparently integrates well with Lidarr. I never tried it, however.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 1 week ago:
Not entirely automatic, but I found that Navidrome (at least when you use a third party client like Feishen or Symfonium) has smart playlists. I use that to write some simple queries like:
By genre:
- Ambient
- Downtempo
By listening habits:
- All Favorites
- Rediscover Old Favorites
- Last 100 Songs Played
- Never Listened To
- Top 100 Songs
and so on

- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI is Now Coming May 26, 2026 - Rockstar Games 1 week ago:
Rockstar’s site, so it’s official.
…but it would be hilarious if a Rockstar intern misheard that during a meeting and posted it anyways. 0% chance of that happening, however
- Comment on Skin Deep review - Blendo's first game in seven years is a small triumph. 2 weeks ago:
I remember having fun playing the demo, but felt the humor was too Taika Waititi-ish for my tastes.
Glad to see it’s out, of course.
- Comment on Nintendo GameCube is coming to Nintendo Switch's Online Membership 1 month ago:
Got it. No worries, I apologize if I came across as grumpy as well. For what it’s worth, there were a few things I liked from the direct (Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, and 3 seconds of Silk Song).
- Comment on Nintendo GameCube is coming to Nintendo Switch's Online Membership 1 month ago:
Yes. Does that refute my point?
- Comment on Nintendo GameCube is coming to Nintendo Switch's Online Membership 1 month ago:
So you need to maintain an online membership to retain access to these games, right?
You will own nothing and be happy, I guess.
- Comment on Argentine President Milei facing impeachment calls after promoting cryptocurrency whose value has tanked 2 months ago:
Did the far-right populist face impeachment calls before this? I’m deciding whether I should be disappointed in Argentina.
