Chapter two, Professor Akayama. This is a strange, strange book!
Category: Uncategorized
Latest talking-squid video-essay is about candid camera, and then I get too political!
Maybe you should just listen to the Radiolab podcast instead? Haha.
I’m reading Akayama DanJay’s first chapters aloud!
I’m publishing a book! It’s a strange, strange book, so I thought I’d read a little of it aloud.
The Most Human Human, The Most Turkish Turk
My latest talking-squid video-essay is about humans who fail the Turing test!
Thinkstr T-shirt
Another T-shirt! This one is wrap-around and has the squid from my Thinkstr videos on it. I’ll admit, I made this shirt purely so I could buy one. But if you buy one, you can try to explain to people what my youtube channel is about!
Akayama DanJay T-Shirts
A while ago I designed a T-shirt based on Akayama DanJay. I decided I’m good enough at making T-shirts that I should sell them!
The prices are about as low as they can go. I mostly just want people who like the design to spread awareness about the book!
Play DüKKA!
Dukkha is the dissatisfaction intrinsic to existence.
DüKKA is dukkha’s dorky younger cousin who steals your tiles in my mobile-game, available now on the Google Play Store! (It’ll be on IOS someday, maybe.)
It’s free and it’s fun. Outsmart DüKKA for control of the board’s center in a jaunty metaphor for our meaningless lives.
I think the ‘easy’ and ‘medium’ difficulties are TOO easy, but I want to add a ‘custom mode’ where you can change the rules. Under some rule-sets, ‘easy’ and ‘medium’ might be the only way to stand a chance.
I also want to add a harder difficulty. ‘DüKKA’, the hardest difficulty at the moment, has an interesting flaw. Can you exploit that flaw to get 100 points when DüKKA only has 60?
I’m working on a video for my YouTube channel about all the pretentious philosophical bollocks behind this silly puzzle-game where the AI mocks your mortality. If you’d like to see it, subscribe!
