I’m already building protocol tools, and I actually enjoy writing network code, especially for games, but its so much easier now that QUIC exists since its basically the old trick of taking UDP and applying some TCP features to make it function better for games over say streaming.

An online game using ActivityPub for its user system would allow for quick implementation of many necessary features, and using reference material and generative 3D models, or even programmable 3D models demos could be made a lot easier; leaving the developers to focus on just the parts that make their game unique.

I’m actually writing a long-form article on generative art, the bad parts, how expecting laws to save us when we have no control over our lawmakers, is a pipe dream.

So creating a list of actionable strategies for workers, artists, and everyone in between at least begin the discussion of the best strategy to make these tools work for us, and take way power from the few.

    In highschool I enjoyed making source mods. I wish they would have kept up with it, people are finally making it easy to work with again. But its a community effort.

    For some reason I’m really into the idea of building a game world where each NPC is a VM and what it does is basd on the software it has. And so players can program or more likely buy software from other people and add it to the people under their control. Its like saying: "there are always going to be botters in games, if the game currency has value which is a. positive thing for the game, then botteers will exist, so lets take advantage of botter skill by giving them exactly what they want. Software that can run while they are offline.

    Then possibly you can use their software to make the mosters smarter. I think they should be in a virtual or VLAN once they are in earshot of each other. that way they can coordinate. Oddly it would probably be useful to roboticists to simulate things doing this same trick but having it be the hardware they are using. I wish most people would model their inventions instead of buying dev parts.

    What I want too honestly is like /dev/body/leg0

    I think it would be funny and interesting but also just like forward walk and using variables like 80% of capable speed. So that it can be used more widly.

    Trying to intergrate the botters to work on your games AI instead of extract value of the game currency would be pretty different than what is done today.

    Because then it proves the concept while giving you the structure for simulation, testing, etc.
