I get in trouble when I show favoritism to any of 100 jets in my game. But you can’t deny this is the most beautiful jet ever created. Stunning art from @jeffbearholy
Here comes the new F16C Box Art ~ with Sailor Mercury ✨ACE pilot custom skin. Includes parts for TWO engine options(GE F110 & F100). The background shows a ICBM field or whatever...

So I might have finally decided on what game I'm releasing next. Only took 23 prototypes, I think that's a new (minimum) record.

Finished all 105 puzzles in @SinkingStarGame over the last few days. I tried 21 games in Next Fest and played this more than all of the others combined, absolute masterpiece

I was expecting this game to be good but never imagined the emotional rollercoaster of oscillating between feeling like the stupidest and smartest human alive. Managed to complete the demo while only rage quitting 13 times. Huge recommend🙏@Jonathan_Blow store.steampowered.com/app/4…

One extremely powerful use of LLMs is in hardcore optimization like this. Kudos to @mike_acton for putting the time (and token cost) into producing this and open sourcing it.
Using an LLM to optimize code: I created a reference implementation of @kevintracy48's collision detection in C, then used gpt-5.5 to optimize it and managed a > 100x speedup from that baseline. Cost ~125M tokens Code and details: github.com/macton/differenti…
