How is that financially sustainable?

You'll have to take my 13 mini off of my cold, dead, hands.

Space. Space. Wanna go to space.

Oh my god that animation at the top keeps causing a layout shift on my 13 mini. Who thought that was a good idea?

I’m going to start using “donkey clanker”.

Oops.

I disagree with this line of reasoning. To the same extent, I could say that you did not make an app because you didn’t write the compiled assembly code, build the processor, make the silicone yourself, etc.

Tools are tools. Same as Photoshop, Ableton, they get you to where you want to go.

Where is the line drawn?

This post and the project README are obviously generated slop, which personally makes me completely skip the project altogether, even if it works.

If you want humans to spend time reading your prose, then spend time actually writing it.

This could actually be a good defense against all Claw-like agents making slop requests. ‘Poison’ the agent’s context and convince it to discard the PR.

Are you running NanoClaw or a different project?

Fighting games are too inaccessible for me. I just want to play about game with cool characters with sick abilities beating each other up (Skullgirls, Street Fighter, Tekken) but there’s always so much mental preparation and input memorization you have to go through just to have the slightest chance at winning/having fun. The problem is multiplied by the sheer number of characters you get to play as and against in these games.

The whole genre, in some ways, has felt like some gated community to me that’s closed for anyone not willing to pour in the hours to learn.

A daily number-tallying puzzle game created by a friend.

The Steam Deck runs games on a compatibility layer (Wine) and it’s an excellent console.

A sign of what's to come.

Looks like a great idea, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to try it for free, which is an immediate pass for me.

This is what my head tells me to do - the heart disagrees.

I see the same. Looks like a bug on HN’s side.

I used to have goals. I’m a locally-known videogame developer. Throughout my childhood and into my 20s I thought videogames would be my ‘main thing’, but at around 25 I realized I’ve fallen out of love with the gamedev process (and no longer play games as well). This created an identity crisis, and since then I haven’t found a definite path that combines both money and passion.

Music is me trying new things. I love it, but often feel I’m not “playing my cards right” since being in school has nothing to do with software development, making money, or establishing deep, fulfilling relationships in my life (I live far away from the city I grew up in.)

All in all, it feels a lot like blind faith. It feels bad, since my peers seem to have their life paths ‘figured out’ to some extent.

Very on-point. I’ve made some friends and amazing memories there, but overall the experience was lukewarm, and sometimes bad, in terms of everything you listed (curriculum, culture, location.)

My dilemma is mind vs heart - the mind knows I can learn anywhere and it’s time to move on, and the heart doesn’t want to ‘miss out’ on the memories I could make there next year.
