a very gifted and experienced developer.

Don't forget the most crucial part. The very gifted and experienced developer ... is Jonathan Blow.

It was a fascinating awakening to see that all the most annoying and vaguely sinister tweeters I'd chanced upon over the years (eigenrobot, aella, 0 hp lovecraft, st rev, those gross milady shitheads, so so many people with "void" in their screenname or some shit) were all part of the same stupid club. I'm glad they've made it so easy to dismiss them en masse.

Sadly web search, and the web in general, have enshittified so much that asking ChatGPT can be a much more reliable and quicker way to find information. I don't excuse it for anything that you could easily find on wikipedia, but it's useful for queries such as "what's the name of that free indie game from the 00s that was just a boss rush no you fucking idiot not any of this shit it was a game maker thing with retro pixel style or whatever ugh" where web search is utterly useless. It's a frustrating situation, because of course in an ideal world chatbots don't exist and information on the web is not drowned in a sea of predatory bullshit, reliable web indexes and directories exist and you can easily ask other people on non-predatory platforms. In the meanwhile I don't want to blame the average (non-tech-evangelist, non-responsibility-having) user for being funnelled into this crap. At worst they're victims like all of us.

Oh yeah and the game's Banana Nababa by the way.

I was tempted to gawk but then I realised... the guy's just going to see some shapes in the light and it's going to be boring as shit

So like, do we think they outright lie about peer review, or are they asking people with no ressources and better things to do whose reviews consist of plopping the paper into chatgpt?
