I was reminded of Casey Muratori's "Handmade Hero" video project where he shows you how to write a game in C from scratch without using any libraries. It's a cool project, but, hear me out here, libraries are great! You can walk in there and they've got desks and/or computers for you to use, and you can tell the librarian about how you want to make a game from scratch, and they'll be like "that sounds rad" and you can walk out with an armful of game programming books and a spring in your step

This game, about listing as many animals as you can, is shockingly well-considered and polished for such an apparent shitpost of a game idea

The big boy book of There Is No Antimemetics Division is available now. https://qntm.org/antimemetics It's extremely good, because the original work is extremely good. I was hoping rewrites and the professional editing process would improve it significantly, but the changes are mostly neutral. There's an audiobook, which is nice. The work, in any of its available forms, comes with my highest recommendation. One of my favorite works of fiction of the past 10 years.
