It was kind of a blast but a couple of newly introduced bugs this year or late last year totally killed it for me.

It used to be great, but the 'community' has some grim individuals sadly.

I’m building a daily word puzzle game with a twist!

In Tiled Words you rearrange tiles to solve clues and rebuild a broken crossword.

You can play a demo at https://tiledwords.com - it’s free and web based so it works on whatever device you’ve got.

I’ll be officially launching on October 19th at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. You can sign up to be notified on launch. Starting then there will be a new puzzle every day!

So far I’ve gotten really positive feedback and have around 100 people signed up to get notified. It’s been a lot of fun to build!

Love this - did you buy the name or was it free to reg? (nosey!)
robtaylor commented on AI slop is already invading Oregon's local journalism   opb.org/article/2024/12/0... · Posted by u/pseudolus

To those, like throwaway on this thread, who say " Give it 5 years and this "AI slop" will write better than your best trained journalist. Get over it."

How does AI attend meetings, ask questions of local officials or bodies, provide in-person reports and original fact based copy?

AI can hoover all that up and rewrite and expand, but surely there will be a need to have boots-on-the-ground?

If so, who pays?

I am already seeing AI giants using local media copy in output with $0 paid for the knowledge and information.
