• Not sure I need tranquil lightning bugs glowing in the background of my terminal, but #rootshell comes with them if I want them. #libghostty -based and comes with a bunch of remote connectivity affordances #ghostty itself doesn’t have.— toot

• Added a simple image manager to the POSSE editor. I can add/edit captions, get a Markdown img snippet from a previous image upload, or remove images. I had imgup for this, but I prefer just having this integrated in the tool. #posse #smugmug— toot

  
• tinycrawl - a rogue-y crawler based on Cairn

  There's more stuff to do, but I got to a sort of MVP on tinycrawl. It's a text-based rogue-like where you just try to get to the 13th room of a dungeon. There are creatures, loot, and limited options. It's still pretty hard to win and there's still not a lot of room for skill.

• Okay. I added a very simple account system (you get a passphrase on first load) and individual player history. I’ve got a few more things to do to it, and balance is a work in progress. Otherwise, feel free to do a few runs.— toot

• I made a Skill to generate dungeons for my little dungeon crawler. You give it a broad setting prompt, then answer questions about tone, difficulty, and GM temperament and get a game pack with custom descriptions, monsters, and loot you can upload and reuse.— toot

  

• I am, indeed, going to tape this up somewhere.— toot

• “… when vibe-coding accelerates app development, apps become more personal, more situated, and more frequent. Shipping a tool or a micro-app is less like launching a website and more like posting on a blog.”

  That’s how I feel when I mention AI projects & I’d like to be received in that spirit.— toot

• I enjoy this podcast. I disagree with them on a few things, but I’m further apart from dear friends on those things. Their Hasan Piker episode was outstanding both as media criticism and for just being correct. Listening to their Democratic-consultant-incubated podcaster examples made me cringe.— toot

• This RPG thing I thought up

  I like Rogue. I loved old dungeon crawlers in the 8-bit era because they couldn't do that much. So I was sitting around thinking about something fun to do and decided to make a very simple web-based RPG.

• When I first started reading about Home Forward I thought “weird to rebrand a housing agency,” but it’s not the only governmentesque thing like it in Portland. It’s just part of the local “Neoliberalism with Libbed Up Characterstics” vibe we do here, and of course it produces this kind of abuse.— toot
