At least you know its still my fat fingers and not AI typing ,;) lol.

Yeh and ecclectic libraries dont feed the calendar very well.

That is not a bot comment or something dark. But there are some unannounced features that are huge..like game changingly huge..

Join the discord and find some secret access that will blow your mind. Guaranteed..

Anyways that's my fear for games and even the entirety of society , we get to eat what we like , but we should endeavour to eat what we don't know yet. Comfort food is not feeding your soul, its feeding your anxieties.

So yes count on my passion and artistry to even make commercial work quirky.. but know that most devs are feeling that slow burn of survival forcing them to appeal to the broadest common tastest.

That is a consequence of some part of me shifting to the new landscape. Cuz I have a family to feed and nowhere else to go.

Creatively I can already feel I am much more 'playing the developer' Valve and its algorithm is pushing me to be.. simply to survive. Its been good shipshaper going to be way out of me comfortzone. ( You havent seen but a fraction). Which is good, but it is less idiosyncratic and artistic.

So even though I like the improvements and having to rely less on relationships and reputation. Those have also benefitted me by exposing people who wouldn't have otherwise been exposed to my work.

Its basically the machine rearing to recommend you what it thinks you like, from your oast behavior.. Whereas human curation shows you something some other human likes, who has a different preference.

Basically algorithmic marketplaces even before they get enshittified give consumers what they want , rather than broadening their horizons. Its spotify giving you fleetwood fucking mac .....again... Its youtube suddenly showing you a ton of some shit, cuz you clicked one short one time.

Some of the changes Valve are enacting ate good. (The calendar) or good for players who wanna 'eat more of what they already ate'. But showcases, events will be algorithming. Meaning players dipping outside their taste is gonna be a rarity. Which sadly is also a lot of what ails society.

Left without any comment.. ..

yeh the entire bird got re-done for the remaster, with more animations blending in, including proper tail steering

Yeh who needs blurry shadowmaps anyway ;)

that is a pretty decent spaceship...lol.. its' amazing what folks get out of shipshaper!

Yes a full gallery. But the arches are a new rail.
