a short video about the vehicle construction system in the new zelda, and other things 🤯 https://youtu.be/I0-nzrEft4w

@aeva this is amazing, and i can't wait to see how any% speedrunners use it also, is it just me, or did they maybe take some inspiration from glitch runs? Like, i seem to recall people using BotW glitches where boulders & pottery latch onto the shield while it's equipped...? (but i can't seem to find it atm)

Stay tuned Colombo's toughest case yet! Why did the computer science department dinner starve to death when their food was right there and why was everyone only holding one chopstick! *theme song*

I like to think that the people who post videos of their pen plotters drawing beautiful art are generally somewhat happier people than the rest of us

I think there's a spectrum of Computer Numerically Controlled happiness. On the extreme negative end is fixing a broken thermoplastic extruder, and on the extreme positive end is connecting together midi dingbats and pressing buttons.

I'm currently playing through Skies of Arcadia (2003) for the first time (no spoilers please), and I just got to a part where one of the chekhov's guns fired and the plot went wildly off the rails into an amazing idiot plot treasure hunt. This game just went from pretty ok to omg omg omg tonight.

@aeva I can't even remember how far I got through the Dreamcast version of Skies of Arcadia. I'm not even sure if it, like Shenmue II, fell victim to my console's heat/electrical issue or if it was just my ADHD. I do vow to some day finish playing the GameCube version, though, given that I can play it on my Wii U.

is a bole the 3-space counterpart to hyperbole

Dizzying animations of hyper cubes performing a double reach around are hard to wrap your mind around because the depiction is inherently nonsensical. 4-space is much easier to understand from an every day example that most people are familiar with: the hyper rectangle, or more commonly known as the humble USB-A plug.

@aeva if people just rotated their USB plugs around the w axis instead of the x axis, they'd go in on the second try

I thought I'd boot up my old R60 and see if it still works. I set a BIOS password for it that I do not remember, and therefore can't get it to boot from a CD. After a few tries it's now saying it's been tampered with. Thanks past me. Anyways I guess this is garbage now unless anyone knows if there's some way to bypass this sort of thing :(

earlier today a small pider scurried out from between the couch cushions, which means there is now a third kind of thing that couches naturally generate (the other two things being coins and telephones)

@aeva this reminds me distinctly of a game/toy thing I played with on a website. I can't remember what it or its genre was called, but it's procedurally generated this giant tree of objects that I think you could then sort-of interact with. Like, on a planet there's a continent with a country with a state with a city with a neighborhood with a building with a room with a couch in it that would also generate spiders because that's what couches do

someone should come up with a tiling pattern that looks like spock so we can have spoxels

Aperiodic tiling is so hot right now. ... Has anyone experimented with using them for meshing? :3

@aeva i did a shader experiment with penrose tiles last month to see if they would make tiled textures look less periodic.. but it quickly became apparent that the quasiperiodic structures are very visible to the eye

I've long known that my github commit graph is a surprisingly accurate proxy for my mental and physical health, because when I'm doing well I usually work on side projects in my spare time. Anyways, I just think this is interesting:

The two weeks following testing positive for covid where there's a few commits coincided with time off from work. I went back to work before I was ready in January which ended up also being a very intense month deadline wise. The pressure eased off since January, but I'm still exhausted.

I once had the unique displeasure of seeing Paul Graham give the worst keynote ever, where his thesis was that big world shattering ideas are like hot women and that the audience was all just impotent little nerd boys who wouldn't know what to do to a hot woman if they were alone together. Then he laid out his oh so big ideas that the audience was simply too cowardly to handle, which I shit you not were things like "replace email" and "make an app so he doesn't have to go to the doctor".

I miss forums. Someone should write a phpbb clone in Rust so that it'll be [i]completely bug free this time[/i] |

@aeva first time I opened vim, I didn't find any way to close beside pressing the power button for 7 seconds
