@mayor.nyc.gov: “I have thought often of the "Margeret Thatcher quote: ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.’ If anything, my friends, it seems that you eventually need a socialist to clean up the mess."

Are there other industries that routinely mess with this? Film? TV?

Here's what I spent my 30s doing! It'd mean a lot to me if you'd watch People get confused since it's unlike other #gamedev events or courses. We help people make games together. Includes process training. People choose their own teams and tasks. Games are all free. People keep rights to their work

If you were a video game character, what would your health pickup be?

I made this from nothing and textured it in 20 minutes with the new Scythe 0.10 update. It's called "The Texturing Update" for a reason. More below...

This whole thread, WHEW. Never seen it so clearly articulated.

Even though I work in 3D, LAIKA's swappable face approach inspired my own facial animation tech for our indie games.

DUNE Part 3

Marathon is the extraction shooter for game developers.

I hope the folks at Designers Republic know how much impact they've had

Fundamentally, in a BethesdaGame, the game wants to encourage you to *live* in its world, often in an open-ended way. By contrast, in an Avowed-like, the game wants the player to travel *through* the world, once, in a single direction, towards a defined conclusion.

Turns out the original quote about not learning from history covers both groups, those who do not WISH to learn and those who were PROHIBITED from it: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

A sneak peak into the development of indie games:

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

"Shaping a project to satisfy every person's needs is a nearly impossible task" Adding this to the list of things I need to continually remind myself of.

Can physicists just all agree that capillary action is a just a bug and move on??

NO FUCKING WAY

The year is 2026. We have created AI powerful enough to convince even Richard Dawkins that it's alive. Email somehow still | RE: FW: RE: RE: looks | | RE: FW: RE: like | | | RE: FW: this | | | | RE: for | | | | | | some | | | | | | reason ??????

Seeing David Attenborough in a headline was terrifying. Luckily this is just pleasant news about a great person.

This is probably a good thing but I suspect the squeeze will be rough. This is where trickle-down economics actually comes true btw.

youtu.be/sIJWdE4ZFZ8?... This is such a great interview. I don't know much about Tom Simons but he's a great interviewer. Also I love the very British reactions he comes out with.

GAME DESIGN QUESTION How do you describe a system designed to naturally rectify balance? I am unhappy with my existing analogy where you're aiming to balance a ball in the middle of a valley or a peak. The ball rolls off either side of the peak at a slightest nudge but in the valley it rolls back.

Is there anything more satisfying than repeatedly planing an edge to perfect shape with long stringy shavings each time?

There's a not insignificant chance I've been influenced by Japanese graphic design lately

Soooo cool.

I have two methods of drinking water, let's find out which one today will be A) not B) almost drown myself and nearly barf

Mountain flight at 80m/s (290 km/h) I got shared CPU/GPU code working for the terrain generation, so early layers can spot sample heights for POI and path generation on CPU, while the later landscape layer can calculate heights on GPU at different LODs. #procgen

Happy birthday to meee

Look, for my money the absolute game changer technologies right now are batteries and biosciences, not statistically modeling a mid conversation, but you do you.

A quick heads up; The UK government is currently holding a consultation on the Online Safety Act. The consultation lasts until the end of next month. Please fill it out if you live in the UK and/or share it around to get more eyes on it. www.gov.uk/government/c...
