About npinsker

I'm working on an indie game called Galactic Diner: https://www.dinergame.com/

Hoping to release in 2027 :)

    “How much you enjoy the prose” doesn’t really seem like the metric by which we should rank these? I’d prefer to read whatever’s most faithful to the original, which isn’t measured …

    One consistent tell is in hair. The most obvious manifestation is how long hair splits and merges back into itself (as at 0:27). AI hair often doesn't follow proper "form" and look…

    You say those things like they're a short step away, but that might not be how it works out. For example, AI has made zero progress in the last few years in surpassing professional…

    I love this :) Thanks very much for making it, it's elegantly designed. Since you asked for feedback: in terms of usability, I found the 'seek next' and 'seek previous' buttons con…

    Also, studios with their own engine may release one or two fresh-feeling games, but across repeated releases, a custom engine is going to become strangling and repetitive way faste…

    It's one of my favorite visual novels and is so underappreciated. Maybe it's because (unlike others in the VN space) it totally eschews unusual settings, gimmicks, or flashy set pi…

    Yes, oysters used to be extremely cheap and popular (and nutritious); that's probably the main reason.

    For me at least, the post is kinda confusing and feels a bit overwrought (“there exists a raven such that the vector of hours”?), and was hard to understand at first. Sadly, in the…

    That’s so far from obvious. The most concerning possibilities for me — like kids not learning how to struggle or problem solve on their own — won’t be resolved for many years.

    Your English writing seems to be quite excellent as well. We have to draw the line somewhere with art, of course, and that usually comes down to a combination of what consumers val…

    That’s not looking “guilty” though. Paper cannot be guilty, only humans.

    There's no way. Just the first paragraph alone is enough to convince me; it's too well-written and melodious to be AI, with too much original thought: Today, the demonic vice of th…

    It's (beautifully) dry humor making fun of OP, whose post is rather dystopian already.

    I’m downvoting because it’s an unusual (and probably false) claim made with no evidence — particularly your clause after “as” needs a more substantive defense. Can you convince me …

    Yes, this isn’t a logical error at all. If you don’t have taste in one area — actually, it’s even worse, you’re not even aware of your own lack of taste — why would I trust your ta…

    Stephen's Sausage Roll is my favorite puzzle game. But more interestingly -- it's a near-universal opinion within puzzle communities that SSR is one of the all-time best. I've neve…

    Assuming you need more than Figma's free tier, they're both $20/mo for individuals and small teams.

    I don’t understand this post. It seems like the author is studying “disorder” in an array by restricting themselves to looking only at local differences. They make up a lot of redu…

    The game is a 2D orbital physics game that's so simple it could opt for hand-rolled physics. I'm curious what about the article makes you wonder this?

    It’s quite doable, if you don’t mind culling some winnable games too. The object isn’t to have a perfect classifier.
