Game Pile: Flocking Hell

Watch this video on YouTube

Thumbnail and transcript below the fold!

Be cruel with purpose, but be kind with energy.

This is an idea I wrote for myself first in 2019 and has informed the way I talk about media and games on the internet. I am someone who considers himself invested in the idea of including people in making games, someone who wants to encourage people to try to make things, even as I am someone who gets mad at things that I think are bad. If someone is doing a bad job, or if I think a work fails in a way that merits cruelty, then the question that follows needs to be is being mad about this worth it? Who can get anything out of this?

Similarly, if there’s a game that’s got good points that I like and is being made by a smaller group of people, then spending energy praising those points to draw attention to the good ideas, in the hopes of helping those ideas be part of the conversation about games seems to me a better use of energy than complaining about the interface of a game made by people who are struggling to pay the bills.

This is informed by an attempt to do what Marshall Rosenberg refers to as giraffe language, the idea that I can, somehow, while talking about games, try to ask the question how can I make your life more wonderful? There’s a place and a time in games for its counterpart, jackal language, but this game, today, is not a time or a place for jackals.

I want to tell you the story of Flocking Hell, a game I like, a game I want you to look at, and a game that I am looking at because I was asked to.

Flocking Hell is a turn-based strategy roguelike deck-builder game where you are the explorer of a tiny island of sheep people (sheeple) who are trying to go about their lives and build their towns and pursue their interests while waiting on someone (you) to do infrastructure projects like reinforcing walls and connecting trade routes, in the name of preparing the sheeple for an eventual demonic invasion. This invasion is something predictable and procedural, and that means your time spent on the island is about gathering the resources you can in the time you have. This timing is further complicated by a periodic timer, where every five turns, the things you’ve found will generate resources.

It’s a good example of a design I think of as five fires, four buckets. There are a lot of things you can do, and they will almost all improve your chances against the eventual demonic invasion, they can all deal with something like the problem, but they won’t all deal with the problem in the same scope or the same way. Then, complicating this set of priorities there are cards you get that let you change how your towns work, or how things like roads interact, and then each island can have different rules like wanting separate road networks or a curse you have to deal with or ways to make resources cheaper, and all those things mean that it’s a game with a lot of choices and a lot of ways to do okay.

The game is broken into chains of seven islands, then it resets.

Am I good at it?

Oh definitely not, I’m pretty poor at this game. Of course, this being a game in development – oh it’s in development, didn’t I say? – there’s always a moving target for balancing the game.

This is kind of the thing I want to talk about here, to an extent. I want to talk to you about giving good feedback on games you’ve played.

First things first, after you’ve played a game, try and write out the instructions for how to play the game, from memory, of what you played. Odds are going to be real good that you can’t get all of them from memory, and if you go back and check you’ll find something important you missed. This is not a bad thing at all, and it’s a practice to do to teach yourself what parts of rules systems stick in your head and how you remember things in games.

Second, remember that as a player, you cannot be wrong about how you feel, but you might be wrong about what you remember. For example, you might feel bad about how the game worked out, but you might not understand why it happened, and you might think you encountered a bug or a glitch, but instead what happened is you missed an important piece of information. This is not actually bad feedback: If you miss something you’re meant to know, and it’s important, and players should know it ahead of time, the designer should be able to hear you tell them ‘here’s what I think happened,’ and you need to accept it if they tell you about it as a mistake on your part. Mistakes and gameplay experiences are, in this case, morally neutral; you can think a choice is stupid or not like it, but that doesn’t mean you’re bad or a failure if someone disagrees with you.

Remember you are just one player, one person who may be of many or a few giving feedback. Most games with a degree of commercial success have player bases in the hundreds or thousands or even much more and to them, there’s a lot of information about how to perfectly deliver the experience and how to fine-tune that experience for a median group of players. When you’re one of a small number of playtesters, that information just doesn’t exist so you need to remember that you may be playing the game wrong, or the game may be broken, or, also, the game may not be yet teaching you how to play right, and so the confusion is somewhere that may not be rules or player but in motivations.

It’s hard to say when you’re one of a small number of players whether the game is doing something wrong or I haven’t learned the game right, and with all games, this is a negotiation between people who can’t actually be completely clear with one another.

After all, there always needs to be some flex.

Some play, as it were.

These lessons go in reverse, though and this is something I want to hold up as a specific virtue of Flocking Hell. Communicating with the developers at Sextant Studios, I was able to give my feedback honestly, and clearly, and when these questions of communication came up, it was never framed to me as ‘hey, are you sure you did things correctly.’ My feedback was treated as serious input from a player and its ramifications were considered. At the same time, there are some things that just have to be filed under the ‘yeah it’d be nice’ category, like making the cards prettier. Some things just have to be done with the budget you have and maybe improved layer.

This is by the way, why I want you to check this game out.

See, Flocking Hell is a rare and delightful genre of game that inspires in me the term microgrinder. It is a game much like Minesweeper where yes, there are ways to get better, but those ways of getting better are going to be built through long-term practice and steady development of techniques. Sure I can sit at each screen pausing and calculating odds on things to try and determine an optimal strategy, but I will also develop trends of play through just playing more, playing enough, and becoming familiar with how the game feels in different stages. And Minesweeper is a heck of a comparison, that game is really interesting and it’s hard to be really good at it!

Know what else it reminds me of? Okay, first of all, Desktop Dungeons, another microgrinder that treats black space on the map as a reusable resource, I liked a lot until I uninstalled it so I’d get other things done, but also, and I promise this isn’t a joke… you know that game you see ads for on tumblr or reddit? The walking down a hallway, making a path, passing through gates that multiply or divide your little squad? Those fake games that don’t exist?

When you finish a round in Flocking Hell, there is a surprisingly similar feeling of watching the moment at the near-end of that ad where the door bursts open and suddenly the protagonists of the game are running backwards and trying to survive while making decisions about getting attacked, and all you can really do is watch a large number whittle down and hope it’s whittling down fast enough, but also, the rate of change changes. It is, in a lot of ways, a very fun kind of nail-biter.

I played Flocking Hell a month ago, and this was written and recorded back then. I wanted to make sure I got my thoughts out about the version of the game I played. That’s why I’m not going hard into strategies or advice for how to play – chances are good, anything about the game as I play it is going to be different for you when the game launches in a few days.

I think the game is interesting and cool.

I’m not going to get into the talk about the incentives for reviewing games — that’s a whole video of its own, I’ll maybe go in on it somewhere. I was raised on PC Format, I don’t get review copies and trust me, look at what we’re doing here, look at the subscriber count – nobody’s here trying to chase my clout and currying me with free copies of games for my powerful financial incentives. I’m nobody who coincidentally is an academic with a keen interest in games.

No, I was asked to look at Flocking Hell by the designers at Sextant Studios as best I can tell because they saw me talking about games — Cobalt Core, another deck builder — and thought I might have something interesting to say.

Some of it, I’ve said to them. Hopefully it’s helped to make the game better. Hopefully you’ll get to say similar things and you get to make this game better too!

Some of it I’m saying to you.

I’ve said in the past that people make things because of spite or horny; either they want the thing to exists, or they’re mad that it doesn’t yet. This game feels like something made by people who had the idea, they played with the systems of the game, and they liked it so much they wanted to share it. This is a game that exists to be shared.

Day 5: Obsidian for Outlining

Find all 5 installments of the mini series: helping you outline your next novel

*I have added a layer of “static” over my screenshots so they are distinctive enough to stand apart from the surrounding text

did you miss this series? here you can find all posts here: [day 1] [day 2] [day 3] [day 4]

Do you use Obsidian?

What is Obsidian?

A note-taking and knowledge management tool that allows you to create and connect notes seamlessly.

Uses a local-first approach, meaning your data is stored on your computer, not the cloud (unless you choose to sync).

Features bidirectional linking, which helps create a non-linear, networked way of organizing ideas—great for brainstorming and outlining.

Why should you use Obsidian?

Flexible & Customizable – Unlike rigid writing apps, you can design your own workflow.

Distraction-Free Writing – Markdown keeps the focus on text without extra formatting distractions.

Ideal for Outlining & Organization – Connect story ideas, characters, and settings effortlessly.

Obsidian for Writing

Outlining

Creating a One Pager

Create a single markdown note for a high-level novel summary.

Use headings and bullet points for clarity.

Link to related notes (e.g., character pages, theme exploration).

Here’s an example of an outline I’m currently using. This is what my website will have on it (and what goals I hope to achieve w my website)

Using the Native Canvas Tool

Use Obsidian’s native Canvas tool to visually outline your novel. (Best on PC)

Create a board with columns for Acts, Chapters, or Story Beats.

Drag and drop cards as the story evolves.

Writing

Why Write Directly in Obsidian?

Minimalist interface reduces distractions.

Dark mode & themes for an optimal writing environment.

Organization in Obsidian

Outlining, Tags, Links

Each chapter, character, important item, and setting can have its own linked note.

Below, for example, you can see the purple text is a linked page directly in my outline.

Use bidirectional linking to create relationships between (story) elements. Clicking these links will automatically open the next page.

Tags can be used for important characters, items, places, or events that happen in your writing. Especially useful for tracking.

Folders for Efficient Storage

Organize notes into folders for Acts, Characters, Worldbuilding, and Drafts.

Use tags and backlinks for quick navigation.

Creating a separate folder for the actual writing and linking next (chapter) and previous (chapter) at the bottom for smooth navigation.

You can also create and reuse your own internal templates!

Spiderweb Map Feature (Graph View)

Visualize connections between characters, plot points, and themes. Below you’ll see the basic mapping of my website development project.

This view can help you spot disconnected (floating) ideas and create bridges to them.

Exporting

Why Export?

Ready to format in another program (Scrivener, Word, Docs, Vellum, etc).

Need a clean version (removing tags, notes, etc) for beta readers or editors.

Creating a backup copy of your work.

When should you export?

Personally, I like to export every 5 chapters or so and update my live version on Google Docs. This allows my family, friends, and beta readers to access my edited work.

After finishing a draft or major revision.

Before sending to an editor or formatting for publication.

Where should you export?

Personally I copy and paste my content from each chapter into a google doc for editing. You may also want to make note of the following export options:

Markdown to Word (.docx) – For editing or submitting.

Markdown to PDF – For quick sharing

Markdown to Scrivener – For those who format in Scrivener.

Omg idk if you intended this but I am sooo using this as an excuse to infodump about Ethernet and networking lmao.

Firstly, Ethernet is fucking insane how much you can fuck with it and it just works. For the UUV I am working on we cut off the head, separated the wires, the soldered on halves of DuPont cables to the individual strands, plugged them into DuPont wires soldered to a female rj45 breakout board, and it fucking worked. Like really well. I hate how well it works because it looks like an abomination

Like FYM this transmits internet?????

Anyways on the other side of things, I recently discovered “Ethernet 2: electric boogaloo.” Basically I noticed my Ethernet was the bottleneck in my connection to my server, and some brief looking on eBay later, turns out you can get 10gigabit NICs (network interface card, I think) for about $10 a piece. (For reference most computers/your router do 1 gig or 2.5 gig at most). So I picked up a few of those and some SFP cable, which is like if Ethernet cable went on fucking steroids. I specifically got SFP+ to QSFP, which I think can do 40gigabit, so I’ll proly upgrade the card in my pc later down the line, for now 10gigabit is faster than the 6gigabit I can access the files over SATA lol. Anyways it’s super cool, the cable was like $15 for 5m, and is hella nice, and wayyy better and cheaper than an Ethernet(rj45) cable that can do similar specs.

Hope you enjoyed this infodump :3

HHDHDHSHDHFWHAT IS THAT LMAOOOOO

i love that sometimes technology is standardised enough that you can just do shit and it'll work.. like come on that's ridiculous, but it's awesome!!

yeah i don't know shit about networking 😭😭

but thank you!! i thoroughly enjoyed your infodump you're fantastic and amazing 🫶🫶🫶

The United States Department of Justice on Wednesday announced charges against a 35-year-old Chinese national, Yunhe Wang, accused of operating a massive botnet allegedly linked to billions of dollars in fraud, child exploitation, and bomb threats, among other crimes.

Wang, identified by numerous pseudonyms—Tom Long and Jack Wan, among others—was arrested on May 24 and is accused of distributing malware through various pop-up VPN services, such as “ProxyGate” and “MaskVPN,” and by embedding viruses in internet files distributed via peer-to-peer networks known as torrents.

The malware is said to have compromised computers located in nearly every country in the world, turning them into proxies through which criminals were able to hide their identities while committing countless crimes. According to prosecutors in the US, this included the theft of billions of dollars slated for Covid-19 pandemic relief—funds allegedly stolen by foreign actors posing as unemployed US citizens.

According to an indictment, the infected computers allegedly provided Wang’s customers with a persistent backdoor, allowing them to disguise themselves as any one of the victims of Wang’s malware. This illicit proxy service, known as “911 S5,” launched as early as 2014, the US government says.

“The 911 S5 Botnet infected computers in nearly 200 countries and facilitated a whole host of computer-enabled crimes, including financial frauds, identity theft, and child exploitation,” says FBI director Christopher Wray, who described the illicit service as “likely the world’s largest botnet ever.”

The US Treasury Department has also sanctioned Wang and two other individuals allegedly tied to 911 S5.

Wang is said to have amassed access to nearly 614,000 IP addresses in the US and more than 18 million others worldwide—collectively forming the botnet. 911 S5’s customers were able to filter the IPs geographically to choose where they’d like to appear to be located, down to a specific US zip code, the DOJ claims.

The indictment states that of the 150 dedicated servers used to manage the botnet, as many as 76 were leased by US-based service providers, including the one hosting 911 S5’s client interface, which allowed criminals overseas to purchase goods using stolen credit cards, in many cases for the alleged purpose of circumventing US export laws.

More than half a million fraudulent claims lodged with pandemic relief programs in the United States are allegedly tied to 911 S5. According to the indictment, nearly $6 billion in losses have been linked to IP addresses captured by 911 S5. Many of the IP addresses have been reportedly tied to more insidious crimes, including bomb threats and the trafficking of child sexual abuse material, or CSAM.

“Proxy services like 911 S5 are pervasive threats that shield criminals behind the compromised IP addresses of residential computers worldwide,” says Damien Diggs, the US attorney for the Eastern District of Texas, where the charges against Wang were brought by a grand jury earlier this month.

Adds Nicole Argentieri, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division: “These criminals used the hijacked computers to conceal their identities and commit a host of crimes, from fraud to cyberstalking.”

At the time of writing, it is unclear whether these virtual impersonations resulted in any criminal investigations or charges against US-based victims whose IP addresses were hijacked as part of the 911 S5 botnet. WIRED is awaiting a response from the Department of Justice regarding this concern.

According to the Justice Department, law enforcement agencies in Singapore, Thailand, and Germany collaborated with US authorities to effect Wang’s arrest.

Wang faces charges of conspiracy, computer fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and conspiracy to money laundering, with a maximum penalty of 65 years in prison. The US is also seeking to seize a mountain of luxury cars and goods allegedly owned by Wang, including a 2022 Ferrari Spider valued at roughly half a million dollars as well as a Patek Philippe watch worth potentially several times that amount.

funny thing with retro PC hardware is how the further back in history you go, the less you can really expect the mainboard to do for you.

you take a modern mainboard and it'll likely have most functions and features you're likely to need already integrated by default, be it sound, network, WiFi... there's usually even going to be video out from whatever barebones GPU is very likely integrated into the CPU by default, as well as a plethora of USB ports for whatever peripherals or other devices you might possibly want. It's basically almost a complete system in and of itself - just add a CPU, RAM, and some kind of storage medium and off you go. Plenty of boards of today will even have built-in support for plugging in fancy chassis RGB lighting straight into the mainboard itself.

Not so with older mainboards - the one I'm looking at using for my retro build project supports basically the typical two channels of IDE/Parallel ATA for a total of four main drives of whatever combination of hard- and optical, a single floppy drive, two PS/2 ports, one keyboard one mouse, a parallel LPT port, a few serial COM ports, an old AT DIN-5 keyboard port, and - shockingly - two USB ports that I'm guessing are ancient 1.0 standard. And that's it. There's no sound, no graphics, no networking - that's all stuff you have to add via expansion cards. You basically cannot use this computer at all without adding at least a graphics card - the Power On Self Test (or POST) will fail and straight up refuse to boot the system if no graphics card is detected. You go back far enough in history to the original IBM PC and it won't even have integrated hard drive support, necessitating an expansion card just to add fixed storage space.

And this is basically why the PC is such an inherently flexible platform - it was and is built pretty much grounds up to be extensible, providing the option to add just about whatever functions and features you might require via expansion slots built on open standards, allowing pretty much anyone with the prerequisite know-how and manufacturing capabilities to build their own. With the relative ease and low cost of circuit board manufacture of today combined with the ready access to powerful microcontrollers like the Raspberry Pi Pico, there's a good number of hobbyists making expansion cards that can more or less be programmed to do pretty much whatever.

Though this is technically still possible to do on modern PCs, the relative speed and complexity involved with modern PCI Express interfaces makes it far less accessible than making your own ISA expansion cards.

Hello The Yower Is Pouth As you are the tumblr uncle, i come to you for advice; I am trying to program something new. Something fresh. My 3ds has Linux installed on it, however, it does not have networking capabilities, as there are no drivers for the network interface card on the 3ds. I ask of you, do you know of any way to start learning about how developing drivers works? It would be very slay.

Phoning a friend on this problem again for actual professional opinion lol (she loves this shit)

@just-my-insufferable-existance

My two cents is: Its a super fun project to mod a 3ds, but Id probably recommend starting with older devices if you havent already because theyve made it harder and harder in the past 5-10 years to disconnect the hardware from the stupid corporate software they want you to have. Never tried 3ds so I could be wrong Im just bitter about capitalism ruining the ability to repair and mod new shit

By fusing the best of Google Cloud’s data center, infrastructure, and software skills with the NVIDIA AI platform which is exemplified by A3 and A3 Mega VMs powered by NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs it also keeps investing in its partnership and capabilities with NVIDIA.

Google Cloud announced that the new A3 Ultra VMs featuring NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs will be available on Google Cloud starting next month.

Compared to earlier versions, A3 Ultra VMs offer a notable performance improvement. Their foundation is NVIDIA ConnectX-7 network interface cards (NICs) and servers equipped with new Titanium ML network adapter, which is tailored to provide a safe, high-performance cloud experience for AI workloads. A3 Ultra VMs provide non-blocking 3.2 Tbps of GPU-to-GPU traffic using RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) when paired with our datacenter-wide 4-way rail-aligned network.

In contrast to A3 Mega, A3 Ultra provides:

With the support of Google’s Jupiter data center network and Google Cloud’s Titanium ML network adapter, double the GPU-to-GPU networking bandwidth

With almost twice the memory capacity and 1.4 times the memory bandwidth, LLM inferencing performance can increase by up to 2 times.

Capacity to expand to tens of thousands of GPUs in a dense cluster with performance optimization for heavy workloads in HPC and AI.

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), which offers an open, portable, extensible, and highly scalable platform for large-scale training and AI workloads, will also offer A3 Ultra VMs.

Hypercompute Cluster: Simplify and expand clusters of AI accelerators

It’s not just about individual accelerators or virtual machines, though; when dealing with AI and HPC workloads, you have to deploy, maintain, and optimize a huge number of AI accelerators along with the networking and storage that go along with them. This may be difficult and time-consuming. For this reason, Google Cloud is introducing Hypercompute Cluster, which simplifies the provisioning of workloads and infrastructure as well as the continuous operations of AI supercomputers with tens of thousands of accelerators.

Fundamentally, Hypercompute Cluster integrates the most advanced AI infrastructure technologies from Google Cloud, enabling you to install and operate several accelerators as a single, seamless unit. You can run your most demanding AI and HPC workloads with confidence thanks to Hypercompute Cluster’s exceptional performance and resilience, which includes features like targeted workload placement, dense resource co-location with ultra-low latency networking, and sophisticated maintenance controls to reduce workload disruptions.

For dependable and repeatable deployments, you can use pre-configured and validated templates to build up a Hypercompute Cluster with just one API call. This include containerized software with orchestration (e.g., GKE, Slurm), framework and reference implementations (e.g., JAX, PyTorch, MaxText), and well-known open models like Gemma2 and Llama3. As part of the AI Hypercomputer architecture, each pre-configured template is available and has been verified for effectiveness and performance, allowing you to concentrate on business innovation.

A3 Ultra VMs will be the first Hypercompute Cluster to be made available next month.

An early look at the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72

Google Cloud is also awaiting the developments made possible by NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 GPUs, and we’ll be providing more information about this fascinating improvement soon.

Redefining CPU efficiency and performance with Google Axion Processors

CPUs are a cost-effective solution for a variety of general-purpose workloads, and they are frequently utilized in combination with AI workloads to produce complicated applications, even if TPUs and GPUs are superior at specialized jobs. Google Axion Processors, its first specially made Arm-based CPUs for the data center, at Google Cloud Next ’24. Customers using Google Cloud may now benefit from C4A virtual machines, the first Axion-based VM series, which offer up to 10% better price-performance compared to the newest Arm-based instances offered by other top cloud providers.

Additionally, compared to comparable current-generation x86-based instances, C4A offers up to 60% more energy efficiency and up to 65% better price performance for general-purpose workloads such as media processing, AI inferencing applications, web and app servers, containerized microservices, open-source databases, in-memory caches, and data analytics engines.

Titanium and Jupiter Network: Making AI possible at the speed of light

Titanium, the offload technology system that supports Google’s infrastructure, has been improved to accommodate workloads related to artificial intelligence. Titanium provides greater compute and memory resources for your applications by lowering the host’s processing overhead through a combination of on-host and off-host offloads. Furthermore, although Titanium’s fundamental features can be applied to AI infrastructure, the accelerator-to-accelerator performance needs of AI workloads are distinct.

Google has released a new Titanium ML network adapter to address these demands, which incorporates and expands upon NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NICs to provide further support for virtualization, traffic encryption, and VPCs. The system offers best-in-class security and infrastructure management along with non-blocking 3.2 Tbps of GPU-to-GPU traffic across RoCE when combined with its data center’s 4-way rail-aligned network.

Google’s Jupiter optical circuit switching network fabric and its updated data center network significantly expand Titanium’s capabilities. With native 400 Gb/s link rates and a total bisection bandwidth of 13.1 Pb/s (a practical bandwidth metric that reflects how one half of the network can connect to the other), Jupiter could handle a video conversation for every person on Earth at the same time. In order to meet the increasing demands of AI computation, this enormous scale is essential.

Hyperdisk ML is widely accessible

For computing resources to continue to be effectively utilized, system-level performance maximized, and economical, high-performance storage is essential. Google launched its AI-powered block storage solution, Hyperdisk ML, in April 2024. Now widely accessible, it adds dedicated storage for AI and HPC workloads to the networking and computing advancements.

Hyperdisk ML efficiently speeds up data load times. It drives up to 11.9x faster model load time for inference workloads and up to 4.3x quicker training time for training workloads.

With 1.2 TB/s of aggregate throughput per volume, you may attach 2500 instances to the same volume. This is more than 100 times more than what big block storage competitors are giving.

Reduced accelerator idle time and increased cost efficiency are the results of shorter data load times.

Multi-zone volumes are now automatically created for your data by GKE. In addition to quicker model loading with Hyperdisk ML, this enables you to run across zones for more computing flexibility (such as lowering Spot preemption).

Developing AI’s future

Google Cloud enables companies and researchers to push the limits of AI innovation with these developments in AI infrastructure. It anticipates that this strong foundation will give rise to revolutionary new AI applications.
