  • These aren’t exactly exploration games, but they’re simple games that my toddler likes too:

    • Animal Crossing is easily her favorite. She loves “helping” my wife pick outfits and fish.
    • A Building Full of Cats is short, cheap, and cute. She likes making up stories about each apartment and cat. There’s also tons of similar games in different locations.
    • Cats in Time has simple puzzles that she can do with a bit of help.
    • Slime Rancher might be a good fit. It’s simple and cute with a focus on exploration.
    • Dorf Romantik is a relaxing and cute game that’s a good introduction to resource management. She might not be good at the actual goal of the game, but she likes placing tiles.
    • Subnautica in creative mode might be interesting for exploration, depending on how sensitive your kid is about some of the darker areas and creatures.

  • I guess this is neat, but I don’t understand what the point is. Here’s what it says this program offers:

    The program provides a digital studio environment, access to advanced AI tools and technologies, partnership with experts in the field, and opportunities for collaboration within our established artist community. It also includes a $1000 grant and promotion to our community of millions.

    $1000 is nothing nowadays; I’m not sure what that would even do. Buy most of a 4090?

    I already have a “digital studio environment” set up on my computer. I like it the way it is.

    Partnership with experts and community collaboration are already pretty easy with social media. The generative AI community is generally helpful.

    I guess this program might help people who aren’t already using generative AI get into it?

    The greatest thing about episodes like Takeaway and Sticky Gecko is that they show how chaotic kids are in real time. I could keep up if they would space out all these little crises, but kids will easily throw ten different problems at you in the span of minutes.


  • The GitHub for Memmy shows the last commit was a month ago. That’s not “abandoned” for an open source personal project, but it definitely seems to be on the developer’s back burner right now.

    I like supporting smaller projects, but Memmy’s just gotten outpaced by other recent clients. I’ve switched to Voyager and really like it. I’ll come back to Memmy once it’s getting active development again.








    • Use your messy instincts to learn how to organize. If you always place your keys in a certain spot, put a key dish there. If you dump your clothes on/near your bed, get a laundry basket there.

    • Lists are only useful if you look at them, so put them somewhere you can’t avoid. I’m not talking about your fridge: use your phone. Set reminders that stay visible until you mark them completed. If you use Outlook for work, use its reminders liberally and give them realistic deadlines.

    • Most important of all, take your medication if you have some. You wouldn’t stop wearing your glasses because they let you see, so if your medication is working then keep up with it.
