If I can, my only feedback is that the battle system is REALLY hard for me. If there were keyboard shortcuts to block I wouldn't complain, but having to mouse to block is too much. I ended optimizing by letting one on the left or right die and then praying I could block enough to kill the boss.

Really great work! Seriously love this stuff!

Forgive me for not caring too much.

I'm in this weird space where I'm working for a company on behalf of my actual company. And the company I'm being farmed out to does not care for us because we are contractors in a sense. This resulted in us being brought on board without any training, any knowledge transfer, and guidance, and being told "get to work".

The result is when I ask people for information regarding the organization or code bases they come back to me with "ChatGPT said this", where ChatGPT is an internally hosted AI stack.

It's gotten to the point where I've given up and just have the internally hosted AI writing unit tests for me because their organization doesn't care about us, and as a result I just don't care about them.

The worst part is the tests seem to be reasonably working. Which is terrifying because I actually know the language or testing framework very well. I'm effectively working in a junior capacity without any training or guidance and my merge requests are getting pushed through.

It's going to be interesting seeing how these organizations that force AI in the workplaces age, because there are no longer experts in the code base. Only slop.

It's a real bummer because they were the only company I was actually interested in seeing pursue Augmented Reality. Now it's literally the most evil companies Meta, Google, and Apple.

The 90s optimism of future tech is dead and all that's left is whatever this is.

There needs to be a new word for when you're impressed, but so depressed at what is being achieved.

The thing about VS Code is not that it's bad, it's just, like everything and the kitchen sink? Sublime Text just feels like a really nice tool bench that your craft for yourself.

I'm really happy to hear there are others out there.

(And yes, I totally bought the license, but never enter it in)

It feels like people aren't interested in being creators. Just consumers. And that shows in how media and companies refer to people as consumers.

I wish there was a way to reverse this trend. It feels in many ways like a Plato's cave kind of situation.

I don't know what to do. I have a huge sunk-cost fallacy here.

I guess I'm going to ship it and pray, and then never use Unity again.

Jesus christ, what were they thinking?

Fuck Unity.

How come I can "buy" a movie on Amazon prime, but I can't download it to any device I want?

How come I can only stream on spotify and not purchase digital albums?

Our rights have eroded so quickly and so deeply that people forget one of the biggest selling points of the original iPods was carrying around YOUR music.

Everything is a subscription. You'll own nothing, and like it.

It's our data, it's our privacy. We should be able to own and control both.

I grew up during 1990's air travel and it was still pretty great back then.

For a lot of the younger generation, they are so used to the disrespect from start to finish as a result of 9/11.

The good old days - in no specific order

- TSA Body Scans that used to be simple metal detectors

- Not having Disneyland-like Fast Passes, for TSA Scans (I cannot believe this is real)

- Being able to wait at the gate for people

- Not being charged insane amount of money to get mediocre services before your flight

- Extra seat room

- Flights that weren't over booked

- Actual in-flight meals

- Actual in-flight snacks

- First class that was actual first-class quality

Man I can go on. I hate flying so much now-and-days, and it KILLS me, because I try to articulate this to younger folks, and they shrug their shoulders because they're been raised in this. And the worst part is I KNOW it was better before the 90's. It's just been an absolute enshitification that has become such a disruptive force in my life when I decide I want to travel anywhere, and it's a fucking bummer.

My community is nothing but ring cameras and it drives me nuts because it means I'm always being monitored. I hate it so much.

People just aren't free to be people in private anymore.

I don't feel like I own my devices anymore.

But I am telling you that monitoring and surveillance is not the first, second, or even tenth potential choice available to start tackling this problem.
