Why you should care about Dani's Race?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/whycareDR.png)
![[avatar]](/pictures/favicon.png)
Blender DumbassDani's Race is a pretty to look at, open-world game. Is this a good enough reason to care about it? No. It's not. There are plenty of good looking games out there. And Dani's Race is not even close to some of them. Dani's Race is a Libre "GTA Clone". Okay... so what? It's not the only one. And it is not even that GTA-like anyway. Yes, you can get in and out of cars. Yes, you have an open world. Yes, the levels are structured into missions. But so what? Why should you give a damn? What's so special about this game in particular? Well...
Let's start with a square.
With AI you are focusing on the wrong Fear of Missing Out
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/aifomo.png)
Blender DumbassVibe-Coders, people that use LLMs for programming, are found at a such high levels of stress these days, that they end up in a hospital over it. They believe that they need to keep up-to-date on everything regarding the endless AI updates, to the point that it literally deteriorates their health. We all know a person in some field that feels like they would not necessarily want to use AI, but in the same time, they don't want to "fall behind" the rest. That they must know how to "use" these tools, or else they will have no chance what so ever, in the market-place. The problem is, they are focusing on the wrong Fear. Especially when it comes to the market-place.
Strongly Worded Rant about AI
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/fuck_ai.png)
Blender DumbassArtificial Fucking Intelligence! The brain-rot born out of a different brain-rot, called "capitalism" causing literal brain-rot of a society. A thing so rotten and so utterly despicable that calling it "slop" is to give it a compliment.
The Structure of Dani's Race Codebase ( July 10th 2026 )
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/dr_explained.png)
Blender DumbassThis is less of an article and more of an overview into how Dani's Race ( a game I'm developing ) works. Note, there is a date in the title of this article. Anything here is subject to change. But I don't think a lot of it will be that different in the end of the day.
Winning Dani's Race ScoreBoard on WINdows

TrolerI want to get the scoreboard working on Dani's race, but I'm using Winblows operating system. That means a lot of things are broken. That's because Dani's race was developed for the Tux operating system.
So Why The Hell this math NaNs out? Help me!
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/nanwhy.png)
Blender DumbassWhy does ( 1 / ( D ( ( T - carD"prevT" 2 ) ) ) result in a NaN? What is going on?
AI users are Fake-Nerds
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/fakenerd.png)
Blender DumbassThis is just a thought I had the other day thinking about why I dislike AI so much, while also having a problem with the concept of copyright. Strange, right? I both hate copying restrictions on things I want to copy or share. And both hate biggest copyright attacker in the history of copyright attackers: AI. How's that? Well I hope my "Fake-Nerds" analogy will be helpful.
Dani's Race and notgit.py ( Updater )
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/notgit.png)
Blender DumbassNot so long ago I decided to forgo the wisdom of using
git for this game. Instead, most changes will be recorded via the notgit.py program I wrote for fun the other day.
Did the word "AI" just lost all meaning?
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/ai.jpg)
Blender DumbassAI ( Artificial Intelligence ) just a few decades ago meant a robot or a computer that has human-like thinking. Think of HAL 9000, or the robots in I Robot. All of those things were "AI".
Today any remotely automatic algorithm on the planet is labeled with this nonsensical term.
Where do you draw the line? ( of Software User Freedom )
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/where_you_draw_line.jpg)
Blender DumbassAn article by Troler about Libre Software made me remember an email conversation I had with Richard Stallman the other day. I suggested to have a sort of freedom ladder analogue, to encourage non-libre software developers to, at least, move closer towards user-freedom. I thought ranking software based on how close they are at achieving user-freedom. How close they are to being Libre. If they have source code published, but no license. This is still better than having no source code published at all. Stallman firmly stood his ground against my idea, claiming that anything less than Libre, anything less than software that grants all 4 essential freedoms to the user, is automatically not good enough. But then in that article by @Troler I saw something interesting. Maybe merely granting the 4 essential freedoms, might be not good enough, either.
Introducing the Fediverse Fandomhood Gimmick
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/get_access_fedi.jpg)
Blender DumbassAn article or so ago I wrote about a gimmick I had in mind to gamify the Fediverse a little bit. I wanted to encourage people to like / boost and comment things on the fedi.
Today this gimmick is already fully implemented.
Did Petitions Fail? How AI ruined it? A new Fediverse gimmick?

Blender DumbassTalking about why Petitions failed. And thinking up a new idea of how to gamify engagement on the Fediverse.
We need to start Forking Software more!
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/fork.png)
Blender DumbassAs pointed out in my last article, the developers of UPBGE ( a game engine I use for my game ) decided to include slop-code into the software. And starting with version 0.5 it is "tainted by Ai". After that post I found a small repository on codeberg, which lists various other programs that are also sloppy. At first I sunk in with the feeling of dread and a desire to give up. Even the Linux Kernel was mentioned.
But then...
UPBGE ( the blender game engine ) is now AI slop

Blender DumbassUPBGE 0.5 release notes state that Ai was used to write the code.
We have to solve the money problem!
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/thumbs/money_problem.png)
Blender DumbassOn the Fireside Fedi interview with Jerry ( the admin of Infosec.Exchange Mastodon instance ) a scary truth was suddenly revealed ( on 34:11 ): Just to keep the instance up and running he needs to spend up to $5000 a month, pretty much out of his pocket. Donations to the instance barely cover any of that. And if he will ask people to pay to use it, they will, rightfully so, switch to a different instance.
