You're still far from 12 million (as said in your short video :D), but on its way!

@romainmacre.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:31 PM

I could have much more mind you.

@romainmacre.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:31 PM

I never had that many followers in any social media. It's not really me, somehow I think by a combination of circumstances, Bluesky makes it possible.

@romainmacre.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:29 PM

You know what? I've noticed I have 2.7K followers. Not 2.6K anymore, you see, 2.7K.

That feature, besides showing delusion, shows a total lack of respect for the thousands of creators who have been using the engine for years (sometimes for decades) and are serious about the engine and features being added.

That is wild, I didn't know. So if you're in reverse you go through the dots and back the other way to eat them.

I realise that they couldn't change the orientation of pac-man when you change direction, since they are LED with a fixed drawing.

OMG I'm sure I have seen this in the 80's

my best artwork ever

And it doesn't even have to be with ChatGPT. A simple Google search ends up a chat bot session with Gemini. They want people let the AI do all the "thinking" and then of course with no ability to think you cannot do without.

And this study is still looking at it in a rather short term. We don't know if the debt of bad AI code that constantly has to be reviewed and/or pass tests could actually increase over time.

I was in Margate in the summer (on the beach), and I'm a game developer. But I"m gone now :)

I remember I was really impressed by the graphics. At the time there was a desire for realism in 3D (even if we were far from it), and this game was very stylised, and colourful. Great art direction.

Great game

@romainmacre.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:21 PM

Thanks!

They should have to do all the work at a micro level that goes with every idea: "What do you mean I have to decide what happens if the inventory has no items and you have a spell that lets you to keep an item on death, just sort it now, I just wanted to direct!"
