TCG Log #6 - DON'T PANIC
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Dead Internet
Ever wondered if the charming character you're chatting with might secretly be a bot?
Have you recently felt strangely outraged—or worse, suspected you're caught in the subtle spell of a deepfake mimic?
Congrats, traveler! You've stumbled upon a Hollow—one of the soul-sucking creatures that haunt the increasingly grim landscape adventurers call the "dead internet."
But wait—there's a spark lighting the shadows. Could there be a new way out?
It's time to Digg.
The legendary civilization of Diggnation has risen once more. Its residents—goggled mole-creatures adept at tunneling through the clutter and chaos—have devised a plan to restore authenticity.
As the dead internet continues filling with emotion-draining bots and deceitful mimics, these “diggs" promise a platform focused on "humanity and connection."
Maybe it's time to pack your towel and digg in?
Weekly Updates
Hey folks! Hope your week's going great.
Just wrote up that lore bit inspired by the growing number of AI agents and the Digg reboot dropping tomorrow. No official ties here, just genuinely excited. Kevin Rose is a kind soul and I’m happy he’s reshaping the social/news platform—I really “digg” him (okay I’m done).
Kevin's teaming up with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, and the CEO is—get this—a crypto artist!
A few other behind-the-scenes peeks:
- I've rebuilt the card creator from scratch (80% complete!). AI image and text + full editing capabilities.
- Oh, and I got our new ace mechanic working in Unity... 👀 that's where most of my time is going!
With metta,
Colton
p.s. here's a colorful pic of me from Hack Night earlier this week at Mars College:
