pretty cool. im not sure how they did it, but i can't help but feel like this is probably the end of physical games.
looks like stadia was ahead of its time
where i'd normally spend hours combing through dribbble looking for inspiration for layouts for specific components (most of the time finding nothing), now I use chatgpt to come up with a number of different designs, then port them over to figma.
most designs produced by cgpt arent production-ready, especially for mobile. figma allows me to set proper constraints (screen size, for example), that give it a more grounded "shape"
for that reason, the actual final design is still by hand for now. however, the translation from design to implementation is greatly sped up by codex, which basically does it pixel-perfect.
all the same, still lots of tweaks needed before the final implementation is ready. design to code still has a bunch of issues that often need figuring out/standardising - font sizes, weights, etc.
this is on mobile btw, where space is very limited. havent worked on a website in a while, but i'd imagine the extra space would allow for far more liberty. i do not miss having to craft ten different designs just to ensure responsiveness. massive pita.
It's like watching someone else solve a puzzle, or watching someone else play a game vs playing it yourself (at least that's half as interesting as playing it through)
in my experience, weed 'flips the world' so that 'stuff' is no longer 'shut out'.
if you've lots of issues you'd rather not deal with, you're probably in for a bad time... depends a lot of course - where are you, how you feeling, who you with, do you trust them, the weed itself,
to me the experience is like a waking dream, where a very raw version of you comes out...
but that only works if you take massive breaks (1+week?) in between. give time for the 'stuff' to build up again.
excellent for meditative activities, but incredibly difficult from a self control perspective
i know another guy that got admitted to a mental institution... and seen plenty of people 'stuck in their own heads' - talking to themselves, blabbering about things nobody understands but them...
side effects of weed are downplayed a lot
I've found some okay but listening to "meaningless" music doesn't sit right with me
Maybe once day, aliens will drop by and discover what remains of humanity. And stories will be told of how, when the time came, our species decided to bury its head in the sand and hope the problem would go away. Or maybe that we attempted to create god to come rescue us.
Life imitates art. We refused to listen to the scientists.
I love MoneyManager by Realbyte, but having to manually input transactions became tiring after a while.
So I decided to build one that works specifically for my country. It parses MPESA smss and, with enough data, we'll be able to automatically categorize almost any transaction.

I wonder how Zuck feels about that being the impact he left on the world.
