Yeah I’d argue that creativity starts after the idea, when you roll your sleeves up and see it through to completion. Ideas are easy. Everyone has them. Doing the work by using your skills and tools is the actual creative process. Everything else is mindless ideation.

Or to put it another way, imagine a high-level executive telling the art department to come up with something cool for the next product line. He fires an email off, waits for the result, maybe sends a couple notes back. When he unveils the product, he says “look how creative and artistic I am.” Is he? I’d argue he isn’t. He just had the idea. Other people executed that idea. The best you can say about him is he guided the process along, but nobody in the art department needs him to be there.

Bones is, as usual, thrilled to be there.

This is my favorite thing I’ve seen today.

Nah it’s just flat-out racist. C’mon, people.

He’s real good.

This is possible if you use a TimeCube, but I get the feeling you’re already familiar.

Not the flex he thinks it is.

A thing that hallucinates uncompilable code but somehow convinces your boss it’s a necessary tool.

Shout-out to software engineers having the lowest use outside of work. I have a coding chatbot that work wants me to use. Even when I have it set up right with only the correct tabs open in my IDE it just hallucinates stuff that looks ok but doesn’t actually work.

I mostly just ask it if it poops. One time I got it to admit that its garbage collection routine could be roughly compared to the act of pooping and it was the best day ever.

If they can’t text me I don’t want to deal with them.

Hey if they wanna see my grandpa slowly become teeth they’re welcome to it.

My cousin rented Megaman 2 and I spent at least an hour in awe of the fact that he could get hit more than twice because he had an energy bar. Then he switched weapons and threw a saw blade and I had to go sit down and think about it for a while.

Yeah, I bought one in my 20s.

Holy cow I thought I was the only person that played that. Excellent game.

In a similar vein, Ghost Master. Some of the levels are fiddly but it’s a ton of fun.

I don’t think introducing the computer science equivalent of Muzak is going to do any favors for the games industry.

And he gets all icky when he sees blood.

Nah it’s just extra protein.

Next steps: remove roof, re-submit as “Red convertible (compact).”
