It's weird.
You can give a Christian a full, biblically supported argument that eternal hell isn't an essential tenet of the New Testament, and they'll reply,
"No it has to exist because of this one metaphor Christ said. It has to. I NEED to know that my theological enemies will suffer forever."
in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy
As I understand it, they're dependent on a market of tablet screens. Both Steam Deck & Legion Go are 16:10.
The weirder thing is that the hardware is natively portrait. If you tinker too much, you can accidentally remove the OS-level landscape rotation and things get real awkward.

I happen to have a ton of knowledge about this one facet of Christian theology because I studied it deeply on my way out of the faith that raised (and damaged) me.

A picture of 4 women from Final Fantasy X. Top-left to bottom-right: Yuna, Lulu, Rikku, Anima It is not obvious that Anima is a woman. She is a relatively grotesque monster, and her true identity is a spoiler.
Happy international women's day!
Found this one on the FFX subreddit today

Early version of this UI in action. I still have a ton of work to do in here.
A screenshot of in-progress Battle UI. Two small player sprites face down a dragon enemy. The front player unit is focused as the active unit. Three action options fan out in front of the user as separated menus: - Act (Right Trigger/R2 icon) - Stock (Y button icon) - Rest (X button icon) Above the unit, a set of 16 hotbar slots are visible. 3 of the hotbars have action icons. The rest are slightly transparent. At the bottom of the screen there are two more menus: Unit Initiative Menu (left side): Snapshots of each units head appear in a horizontal bar below the battle's ground level. The right-most snapshot indicates the currently active unit. Moving left from there, it shows all units in their forecasted turn order. Player status menu (Right-side): The 2 units of the player's battle party (named "Riskbreaker" and "Astrologian") have health readouts. Above a red "hp bar", text display: Current HP / Max HP. One of the player characters as less than 66% health, so the red hp bar is not filled completly, and the text readout of their HP is colored yellow.
#ScreenshotSaturday this week is Battle UI!
✅ Turn forecast bar
✅ Active Unit actions
✅ Cross Hotbar
A "7/10" game comes in two flavors:
"Competent, but uncompelling."
"Compelling, but incompetent."
I just took a snip of the same thing!
10/10 No notes.
An edit of the "Cast it into the Fire" meme. Panel 1: (The One Ring) - "Camera Zoom in a Pixel Art Game" Panel 2: (Elrond) - "All Conventional Wisdom": "Cast it into the first! Destroy It!" Panel 3: (Isildur) - "Me" "No"
What are subpixels anyway?
*In Japan.
**This was not a sex thing.
A person once pulled me into a bathroom stall in a Japanese restaurant and asked me to perform a literal Christian exorcism to remove Satan from them.
The Sega logo, staged in front of a moon, hovering over a neon purple digital grid.
If the major publishers all bottom out and Nintendo emerges from another industry collapse unscathed, I think that can only mean one thing.
Time for the dramatic return of their one true rival:
A screen shot of a reddit post from r/SteamDeck linking to a Bloomberg article. Headline: "Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC - Bloomberg" OP post body: "This sucks, really enjoyed playing Ghosts of Tsushima" Top comment: "Not that surprising given they've also pulled back from PlayStation games on PlayStation"
Me: "Please don't add someone to the team mid-feature. It will not speed me up."
Product Manager (cis-man): "No I won't do that. I'll do {exactly that, but in different words}."
This is the stuff that stresses me out most as a solo dev. I can do visuals, narrative, UX, programming, no problem.
I can't do music, but sourcing it is pretty straightforward.
SFX & audio design, though? That's some arcane mysticism beyond my ken.
Games need such a diverse range of people.
A screenshot of an Aftermath.site front page headline. The hero image is a picture of Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 9. The headline reads: "Resident Evil Requiem Actor's Social Media Is Also Filled With Hot Leon Kennedy Memes" The sub-header reads: "'Things could be worse,' Nick Apostolides says"
"'Things could be worse,' Nick Apostolides says."
@aftermath.site always delivering on the sub-headers.
Their claim: "Models these days are resistant to prompt injection."

Adversarial poetry exploits creative inference vulnerabilities.
Basically, LLMs have to switch to "creative mode" to infer the meaning of poetry, and creative mode relaxes its guardrails.
Reddit stats for a comment I made on reddit. It had 14 upvotes and a 100% upvote ratio.
I'm so bad at making hot takes.
I corrected someone on reddit who claimed that AI is advancing rapidly, certain it'd be contentious.
Nope. 100% upvote ratio.
I'll never get the hang of engagement-farming. Carefully presenting well-researched information 3-layers deep in comments doesn't do it.
I feel like it's giving "We have rabbids at home."
Sorry for coming off standoffish. I can see the confusion: it can be unclear if the quoted Bloomberg text is also, itself, a quote.
I'd assume the words attribute to Bloomberg as a publication. They may be a paraphrased summary of Bloomberg's sources, not representing Schreier's personal voice.
Once an article is cited and brought into context, it's expected that additional detail from the cited source will continue to be introduced.
The byline for the cited source is Jason Schreier, a friend to Aftermath who would like not consider any of this a snub in the slightest.
"According to Bloomberg:" is right there in front of it, even in your screenshot. It is normal to cite the outlet, and not directly attribute an author's byline.
The article they're citing is linked in the previous paragraph, and no other source has been incorporated to the article since.
Oh to be a woman with no integrity.
I could platform myself with low effort volume posts that hack SEO metrics.
Funnel that traffic toward gambling sites and prediction markets.
Gamble my reputation on this dumbass grift and dig my own grave.
Scrolling through my feed and bsky shows me a video of some dude wanking it what the fuck?
Nobody wants unsolicited dick pics you miserable fucks.
A pixel art screenshot of a work-in-progress battle scene. The top of the image has an FFX-style "turn order" indicator that includes a screenshot of each unit's face.
Oh hell yeah.
I got scalable headshots working for turn forecast.
Because character unit appearance is composed at runtime, this one took a bit of work:
- Render the unit to a headless canvas
- Position headless camera
- In-memory screenshot
- Bind screenshot copies to UI

Thank you!
I've been working on so much the past several weeks without posting any screenshots.
Here's a new wingaling for a late #ScreenshotSaturday
