AI is for people who cannot or won’t. #ai #failure

Assumptions are made to be questioned. If you don’t question them, you are one in the camp of “We have always done it this way.” #life #failure

We live in a philosophical time. It is a time of serious questions and no answers. #life #failure

In a parallel universe, someone somewhere is marketing celebrity phlegm. And people are paying millions (billions) for it.

“Written history is interesting because it is wrong.” #writing

It’s not really a secret if you post something entitled: “The Secret To/Of…” It’s something you made up and click-baiting..

It is more important that your characters feel alive than to give them purpose. #writing #character

“The living most often avoid being alive.” #writing

The entire concept of “obligatory scenes” is mired in what publishers want to sell and readers can identify. Obligatory scenes make money. That doesn’t mean it’s a good (interesting) book. #book #writing #publishing

The best (most interesting) books are about more than just one thing/theme. #writing #books

Every book presses emotional buttons–either the reader’s or the author’s, hopefully both. #writing #books

“Keep your eyes shut and you’ll be like everyone else.” #life #writing

“You ain’t a saint until you’re dead.” #writing

The cost is never as important as what you pay. And if you pay less than the worth, you are cheating yourself. #life #failure

If you have an “agenda” what are you paying for it? #life

“The true god is not the one most people vote for.” #writing

PSA: An game “dungeon” is nothing like a real “dungeon” nor is its purpose the same. #gamedev #failure #life

Shouting into the storm. That’s what most people do and are never heard. #life #failure

Just because you believe you know, just means you know you believe–nothing else.

Observation: when you’re at a restaurant that has a photo-based menu, they take the menu away before the food comes so that you can’t compare what you saw/thought you were ordering to what was marketed. #food #restaurant #failure #marketing

Wars and conflicts are more devastating when governments and leaders get involved. Politics is marketing.

It’s interesting, this time we live in. Not a good time to be alive, but you are alive, aren’t you?

Time to switch gears and write.

Not bad for a first try. Palmiers out of the oven to cool. #baling

Brilliant video (implementation) about a brilliant game. youtu.be/N_-0Q5FAU… #programming #pico8 #gamedev #pokemon
