I make things.
Some are useful.
Some are ridiculous.
Occasionally they're both.
Management assumes no responsibility for what happens next.

THINGS ESCALATED.
This is where reasonable ideas are subjected to unreasonable amounts of curiosity. Some become products. Some become experiments. None remain simple.

A place for finding playable AI-assisted games because apparently making projects wasn't enough. We needed somewhere to catalog them too.

FIELD NOTES.
OBSERVATION TERMINAL RECORDINGBehavior remains technically within expected parameters.
THE PROJECT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SMALL.
This remains the leading indicator that the project will not, in fact, remain small.
Confidence: extremely highONE MORE FEATURE HAS BEEN REQUESTED.

At this stage the idea must be considered operational. There is no known reversal procedure.
Escalation protocol initiatedWHY IS THERE A 3D PRINTER INVOLVED?
Original software scope contained no physical manufacturing requirements. Current evidence is contradictory.
