  • I don’t know about first but when I was young I played a pair of animated point and click educational games called Dino Dudes and Space Dudes. Years later I tried to find copies of them and there super rare, turns out (from memory) they were developed in Australia and not widely distributed in a time where not everything made its way onto the internet.

    I did manage to find a freeware copy of both games online but the effort to get them running turned me off of the endeavour.






  • As a man this sums up my experience.

    Speaking to a woman who found their spouse via dating apps she said not to sweat it, pretend you’re in a job interview and trying to get to know the other person. Since then I’ve realised she was right, but as a man I’m the one being interviewed. Just like a job interview; it’s stressful, frustrating and often you’ll never know where you’ve gone wrong when they turn you down.

    That’s what I hate about this particular point in time. There’s always been image manipulation but never so accessibly high quality. The amount of “cool photos” I’ve seen where the first comment points out a glaringly obvious (once spotted) AI mistake makes me start questioning any cool photos I come across. It sucks because there’s definitely amazing people out there making amazing stuff and my first thought now is “is this generated by an algorithm?”
