Weeknotes 26-13

Another late post, I was seeing Tigers Jaw so I was out all day, I’ll write about that in the next post!! Not as many video games this week, though also kinda still yeah. Did another playtest of my friend’s game. Lots of changes have been made, really cool seeing it come together! Went to another pinball tournament on thursday, this time bringing a coworker since she had expressed interest before. Pretty fun as always! Friday we had a mini-lan party, I invited some of my coworkers but it was super last minute so most of them already had plans, but we still had a great group!! Played some Halo 3 but also Virtua Tennis and Towerfall. Also introduced gabby to Marathon (her first PC fps!!!!) she was pretty good???? Like had good aim against the robots and broke shields on a guy before they ran away.

Saturday I took steph to the local graphic design and typography book store, bought a little zine about tigers in print/product design. Then we went to a thrift store where we chatted with the cashier for like 30 minutes. It’s so impressive how she can just make conversation with anyone tbh. I got a nice little sweatshirt!! I had already been eyeing it and then steph independently was like “oh this is so you” so I knew I had to get. Then afterwards I went to a fighting game event that was just all casuals. The streamer Sajam was there and I kept being like “huh is that Sajam?” and didn’t realize it was actually him until people were taking photos with him lol

I know we do not need another post on the internet talking about LLM vibe code AI but mannnnn it’s so depressing seeing people talk about how making basic websites is “so hard now” and that “LLMs are the modern ‘inspect element’”. Like buddy the web inspector is still good! Websites are easier to make than ever! Nothing is stopping you from making a website exactly how you did in the early 2000s except now CSS is infinitely easier than it used to be, like I saw the “centering a div is so hard” thing mentioned like, bro flex has been widely supported in all browsers since 2015!!!!! a decade!!!!! it’s like three lines of code!!!! embarrassing tbh. okay i’m done lol

Things I’ve been into this week!!!
