This looks very promising, especially as the first published offering from this account. 

The document outline is great to see, with very helpful bookmarks. Lots of clear writer to GM communication. I love seeing thesis statements or in this case, the Premise written right at the front page. I was annoyed that a number of sections had poor page breaks, leaving titles on the end of a previous page or one or two words dangling into the top of a following page.  For how big the mining colony is, even having a rough unlabeled map or layout would be very helpful. 

Looking forward to any future versions and whats next. I will edit or add to the comments if and when I actually run it! 

Very fun to see a fellow organ themed submission in the jam! I do like the styles and graphic choices, but I did have it crash twice during play! 

Very well done. Strong sound design and effects work. I could see this being one of the top entries in the entire jam! 

Brief, interesting, and inevitable. A precise experience. Well done! 

[ Edits may be made as I read additional zines ] 

Crip Time makes fantastic use of color. I found the zine to be an insightful glimpse into another's experience. Grateful for the further reading section! 

Sad Lyrics I <3 brought me back for a moment to a senior year of a midwest highschooler sitting in their hot car at the cusp of summer, putting on their home-made cd labeled in sharpie.  

Great zines. 

Hey community! 

The jam has been a lot of fun so far, and I'm very glad I was able to get my own project submitted before the deadline. 

With a number of the submissions being physical games & ttrpg related (mine included) is there an interest in having a community game day to run a session of our games? I could offer to gm, and even a casual chat or play by post would be interesting. 

Just gauging interest. Congrats to everyone who's got their projects in! Thanks.

That sounds cool, I'll keep an eye out for when you post it. :)

Going beyond the specifics of the Jam? Ok! Hi, I disagree. 

Offshore radio was very cool and largely embraced for many many years and in some forms continues to this day. All sorts of groups across all political stances embraced it as a way to avoid government monopolies. I have never heard anything about an anarchist (other than anarcho primitivists?) who was rejecting or decrying any sort of pirate broadcast. 

As far as the early internet is concerned, there was worry due to the fact the early  infrastructure of the internet was using military technologies/companies. But, there was a large social movement and anarchist presence from the very beginning. Look up the Cypherpunks, read their activism and manifestos, etc. They are also very cool. 

Feel free to share what evidence you have for that claim, because honestly I have no idea why you made that claim to support your argument for AI. 

Also, it is a harm to programmers. Every interaction you have with LLMs teaches more to the LLM. It is watching you too, harvesting every request and scrap of data you exchange. Please remember, the problem that AI is trying to solve, is WAGES. So yes, it will cause great harm to many many entry level programmers. 

The harm to creativity is this. Someone would have made something. Because someone asked their AI model to create, they did not. How many cute janky doodles never got shared with the world? How many artists never built up their skills and confidence to create more things? How many artists never found their style? Or worse, saw their style get scraped and remixed by the machine? Are you sharing studio ghibli selfies? 

When you say decades, that is a large amount of time. That puts AI on the same level as Wifi, stem cell treatments, and additive manufacturing in your home  with 3D printers. AI requires data centers, it requires mass data collection.  AI will always be an alloyed good. A product built and bound to  massive corporations that have no respect for you, for copyright, for art, for workers.  

(Data Centers are causing all sorts of other problems too!, raising power & fuel prices, water management, pollution, violation of US EPA regulations, consolidation of the internet into corpo control, etc.)

I do not reject AI out of "ideological purity". I refuse it as a moral necessity.  I find its use immoral. GenAI is rent extraction on the act of creating.
