Awesome. And by the original game designer, no less!

Wow cool! Do you think it’s possible to port classic Mac games to modern MacOS now (thinking Dark Castle, Ancient Art of War at Sea)?

Not to mention top speed. The US should have a federal or at least NY/CA state law that modern cars be electronically limited to 112 mph, as it is in Japan. There is no valid reason for a street legal passenger car to be travelling faster than that.

Not to mention completely opaque tinted windshields and windows, and intentionally defaced or corroded license plates..

I've thought about adding a spaceship mode where you can pilot around the system you made, do gravity assists and such. The foundation is there!

read Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams and see if you still consider them “okish”.

I'm still very happily using Claude Code + Opus 4.5, and am distressed by the idea of losing access to that specific model in a few months. In my experience, 4.5 is very much worth $100/month, whereas 4.6 is basically worthless. I'm honestly not even interested in trying out 4.7. The unfortunate reality of these black boxes is that what makes a particular model shine is very hard to understand and replicate, so you end up with an unpredictable product direction, not something that is steadily improving.

I've found that Opus 4.6 is happy to read a significant amount of the codebase in preparation to do something, whereas Opus 4.5 tends to be much more efficient and targeted about pulling in relevant context.
