A while ago I got an email from someone saying they found my work while looking through recent “vibe-coded and AI-built games”… And they wanted to feature my games on this AI website. You can imagine the bout of panic. Vibe-coded?? How did they jump to that conclusion? Based on what? I make everything myself. No “artificial”, I’m just “intelligent”!!

I hope the Linux build will work. At least Linux is free, so I can keep trying if it doesn't!
I guess I’m going to be here to vent a little, about culture in general, because I’m doing a bunch of maintenance and have to watch status bars go up… It’s been an interesting past few weeks. I think the biggest observation I have is how absolutely everything established seems to be failing people on some level or another. It all seems so inexcusably broken. Adobe had announced an “end of life” for Animate, and in their initial announcement they worded it in a way where they would cut access ...
