I am an audience of one.

@therealcliffyb i dont see the connection you are trying to make. AI has nothing to do with ditching physical media. It has everything to do with ownership. It's a future where people own nothing anymore. I surprised you aren't a little more upset yourself.

I hate getting old... I'm just tired all the time, and too jaded to try really hard at anything. Nothing is fun anymore. Games, movies, music; nothing 🤷. I wish it wasnt true, but I really have become a bit of a nihilist...

[Ben Quintero @Ben_Quintero]

Man.. i get this.. to say, "its not fun anymore".. when the thing you love changes so much that you dont recognize it anymore. When it gives more tired thoughts than exciting ones... maybe its time..

Never EVER reach out to Reddoor home builder. They refuse to answer any simple inquiries but will endlessly harass you with calls. All about getting you into their system...

[Ben Quintero @Ben_Quintero]

Gamers are getting a lot of, "We hear you.. we just don't care." From both @PlayStation and @XBOX.

And @NintendoAmerica lawyers running high on their own supply isn't making Nintendo a clear winner either.

Enshitification is real...

@SenWarren Everytime you pop into my feed I can't help but remember that you could have been VP and maybe President if you hadn't stabbed Bernie in the back 🤷🏾‍♂️.

You know you are old when your Steam friends list are all offline and their "last online" was 12 years ago...

@thomasbrushdev * slow, psychological thriller?
* Twisted Tower: The Movie?
* hokey horror? (Friday 13th)
* Back Rooms?

After seeing @Microsoft get beat bloody in the markets I was tempted to buy more. But with the tone deaf actions of @XBOX CEO burning good will to the ground, I think divestment is the more clear option. I haven't seen a company dive in an empty pool like this since 3DO.

[Ben Quintero @Ben_Quintero]

It's so crazy to me that someone like @AOC went into Congress with her hair on fire. Now I can't tell her apart from the guy she unseated. I guess $174k/yr will do that to a person... She might even be house shopping in Arlington as we speak 🤣.

Wow they really messed with the artistic intent. Nooo Epona!!

[Ben Quintero @Ben_Quintero]

Mahoraga was always meant to be a suicidal last resort; a domain from which no one returns. How is the ten shadows user supposed to tame that? With white rabbit?🤣 Wolves? Quagmire? Toad? Shadow Garden? Nah, he couldn't even beat undead-Toji.

[Ben Quintero @Ben_Quintero]

I know I'm late to the game but...

Toji was damaged goods with an inferiority complex. But in spite of it all, he was the best Dad he knew how to be (considering his upbringing). RIP

[Ben Quintero @Ben_Quintero]

Also, hot take.. Mahoraga was never meant to be tamed. Think about it. Every shadow creature is acquired by beating it, like Pokemon. They can even evolve after capture, like the wolves. But how is the caster supposed by beat Mahoraga with shadow techniques alone?!

[Ben Quintero @Ben_Quintero]

basically:
* AddRoom(x, y, w, h)
* Then recursively walk the dungeon, appending rooms (up & down) or (left & right).
* Toggle vertical/horizontal with each recursion.
* Make sure the next room fits without overlap.
* Repeat until the map is full.

I wrote a simple dungeon generator in C/C++. It turned out pretty good.
