I made a comment "The sheep vote for their butcher" on a video recently that really resonated, enough that people used it outside of YouTube. The thing is, it took me several rephrases of trying to...
I'm a use any tool that helps you kind of person, so I like GPT-4o and Claude for coding tasks, but open models are getting much better. Problem is models like GPT and Claude require an internet co...

So around Q1 2024, I found that a Shaman breathing exercise had been the most effective exercise for lowering stress levels. I call...
Artificial Intelligence or AI is quite the buzzword. It's slapped on to many products these days that at best are just cool. It's just a get rich quick scheme to draw in investor money.

You might be thinking what is ULID? or Why not use UUID? This is why I don't use UUID for identity.

The motivation for this was to get off NodeJS, which has a myriad of issues that I no longer want to reconcile with. ...
Ah Project Phantasy, so original. I'm far enough along that I might as well write about this stuff in a series like Atlas Fury (Project Atlas). I'm excited about the work like I was with Atlas Fury.
It had to happen right? Atlas Fury will be released on the Epic Games Online Store for some exclusive time then maybe Steam. Will advertise a bit as well as iterate a bit on the game. I say it's a ...
I recently released Atlas Fury, an arcade style space shooter for iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play)
so I am jotting down post experiences.
My experience with Godot in general has been pl...
Growth and ratings, that's about it, nothing else. Growth is first priority. It's the best one that produces the best outcome that I can see for this product specifically.
Currently going the rounds trying different advertising services. Meta is ass. Google is top notch. Apple is expensive. Reddit is ass, really bad.
Inconsistent Policy Application: Fist off, they don...
You can just go boom: idea -> development -> publish, but how will people know your product exists and what it does? Advertising!

Missed my goals for 2023, unfortunately, but made unexpected progress in a different direction with Atlas Fury. Didn't have plans to do it, but hey that's where I am. 3 mobile games is the 2024 tar...
Added a new special weapon, pretty much has to do with black holes, and one more to go!
Starfang Striker is inspired by Starfox just more wolf than fox. Probably should've called it StarWolf. This p...

Pretty well done. Close calls! No flawless victory.
Yeeee, this one's in review for Testflight for public testers.
Maybe the last post marked the point of no return. Regardless, it's official as of now.
This ship uses orbiting satellites with a laser on them as well as shooting eyes that move in a wave pattern.
Got to the point where I have a credits screen.

If I asked a human to draw a woman with a phone in her hand explaining something to a man then they would attempt to draw exactly that. If it's a white human, I'd expect the output skin color to be...
I tried out my "SPA Search Engine Crawler Friendliness Idea" (https://www.normansoven.com/post/spa-search-engine-crawler-friendliness-idea) and preliminary results are better than expected. Astrono...
The idea is pretty much have the server render a lightweight web page with all the meta information needed.
When one thinks SPA, you think well how's the search engine supposed to view it. Well, sea...
Sigh. Like SOPA and all the other overbroad bills before it that caused internet companies to protest with blackouts. This entire bill to not just counter social communications software, but a whol...

I remember when people said this in order to justify 30fps games and 24fps videos. Yet when a 60fps video comes up on Youtube, I always always question if it is 60fps and see that it is. The fps di...

How backwards we would be if we all did wait for a standard to emerge. It'd be akin to asking everyone else to take risks before you decide to. No one would ever bother.
