Diagram showing a square and a hex terrain grid with water and land, simplified by the dual grid. On the square grid each boundary slice is a rectangle between the midpoints of 4 adjacent tiles. On the hex grid it’s a tringle between 3.

Wish I'd taken the time to figure out @oskarstalberg.bsky.social's dual grid concept earlier. It simplifies everything so much while also enabling nicer tile shapes.

In short: instead of designing tiles, design the boundary slices between them.

“It’s on!”
“It’s off!”
“It’s on!”
“It’s off!”
(Exasperated) “That’s called BLINKing.”

Today is the day to tell a strange story.

The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.

Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

I don’t post about comics much, but this page composition and the writing - 🖐️ Absolute Cinema 🖐️

This is the Bond reboot. It’s all right here.

Really trying to parse the word “naturals” in this context. 🧐

We all dream of creating games that generate issues of this caliber.

okay, seriously: if we were to corral this, would anyone be interested in contributing? Here is the google form:

Investigating Linux is like looking outside of Plato’s cave.

8 panel comic P1: A title panel; borderless. We see a highly stylised --and decidedly grompy looking-- frog sitting atop a lily pad. The overly exuberant title above them reads "Hello! FREG!" P2: A close up on Freg, as their mouth opens slightly, a look of realisation on their face. The text reads: "Oh! Freg has something to say!" P3 & 4: Back to the POV form the first panel, as Freg gradually hinges open their jaw impossibly wide, almost 180 degrees. P4: We dolly back, as an absolute ream of text spews forth from the open mouth. "Jumping no longer elicits the feeling of sheer joy in me like it did, once upon a time. However, jump I MUST, because what else can I do? You ask my, why, then, would I continue to jump? Dear reader, you may as well ask me the same of breathing." "To not jump is to admit defeat. To give up entirely." P6: We switch to a dramatic low angle, with a fish lens effect, as Freg stares up at the sky, which is filled with cotton candy clouds. P7: Freg --saying "I must away"-- "jumps" off the pad. I say "jumps" because Freg looks like they are simply being dragged by a computer mouse into the air. P8: We end on a borderless panel, far back from the lily pad. The only sign Freg existed are a few ripples in the water around the pad.

hello! freg!

Whenever I hear someone’s cave shadows are great I immediately get angry and add that cave to my list.

BlueSky is where people go to find the real Truths.

"Rock Band" was the best video game experience I've ever had and I'm tired of pretending that it wasn't.

Time to do CRIMES!

That movie is a wild slice of time, I’m glad it was on film.

Congratulations! 🎉

I was thinking of picking up Outlaws - what did you think about it at the end of the day?

Looks ready to ship, to me! (The engine is in the back of those things, by the way. 😅)

Check out “Sarum” by Edward Rutherfurd. This exact premise following several families from the building of Stonehenge to modern Salisbury. It’s been a while since I read it but I remember it was very cool!

Hail to the King, baby.

This is hypnotic!
