Kat Abughazaleh on ICE in IL-9 debate

"We need to fully abolish and prosecute ICE. We need to repeal the Patriot Act. We need to lift refugee caps.

And we need to offer complete amnesty and citizenship to any immigrant here who has not committed a violent crime."

n'inquiète pas, ton nom sera publié dans 24h chaque jour!

Just want to voice a more positive perspective, I really enjoyed seeing those Godot fighting game posts! They definitely provided my timeline with value. Good and whimsical!

The consequential problem though is cost. Good headphones with replaceable parts is indeed expensive...

This is such a pain. I learned my lesson with the last pair I owned they had similar coating issue. I researched my current headset and chose pads with better material. I also checked if the company has replacement parts if I do need a repair in future. Maybe check out Beyerdynamic pro headsets.

I've definitely been obsessed with small details before and I tend to go out of my way to fix it even if most people don't notice. How do you plan around polishing/fixing things like this? Or is it too difficult and ends up being a bit ad-hoc?

Yooo, this sounds cool! It reminds me of the mugen fighting game engine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mugen_(...

They literally destroyed books in order to scan in the texts to take advantage of a legal loophole. That's kind of fucked

Dang, the last vestiges of Flash and the giant corpo is finally trying to put it out to pasture. This can't be the end of its story 😢

Is that a John Henry reference? 🔥🧊

Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal opinion article titled “A Guaranteed Income Won’t Stop People From Wanting to Work,” by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo. A subheading says evidence from programs around the world suggests basic income does not make recipients lazier. Below the headline is a photo of several women sitting outdoors at a table working.

"Not only don't people work less when they are guaranteed an income, they might actually put in more effort at work. And the fact that they have more money to spend leads to the creation of more jobs."

This is old but I am still feeling this way up to this day.

Math For Video Games: Build Better Games Faster With Advanced Game Math <p>Maths and video games go hand-in-hand. Video games are a practical, challenging, and fun way to sharpen your math skills. What's more, video games are like living math. From graphics and physics, t...

I bought this course a while ago, it's kinda sitting on my back burner but I go back to it from time to time: gamedev.tv/courses/math... I think the biggest thing I wish I had was maths taught in an applicable context. Game dev and graphics programming is perfect for it I think.

I felt the same a couple of years ago. So much so I went back to my Khan Academy account and tried to pick up where my GCSEs left me. It did help! But it did feel kinda difficult because I kept having to go backwards until I could deal with the level of maths to build up to shaders maths

Omg this is a mood. It also reminds me of times in image editing when I've been painting on the wrong layer.

When I think of semiotics, like illustrators, character designers, writers can all agree, the difference between villains and heroes really can be observed and kinda not subtle IRL. It also makes me think of the differences between bees and wasps.

The big tech marketing and spinning really has poisoned a once reasonable generic term 🥲 I feel for you!

That Godot character design is so good and so cute. Really well put together layout design too 👌✨

Waterfox has its own search, distraction free and simple, which I've been using. I also use Ecosia.org and their whole shtick is planting trees

Oh my gosh, they really moved on from Line Rider: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XiJ... This is making me think of that Chemical Brothers x Michel Gondry music video.

I wanted to look up the channel after seeing this, the original link if others wanted to hop there too: youtu.be/fYVaHVHuARA

Pure joy.

Correct 🙂‍↕️

I aspire to do this too! It is heartening to see you did it and are happy with the outcome!

The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation.

The story has since been amended, but the damage has been done. You can search out the current version if you want, but here’s the original.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder “The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

If you didn't know about the boycott, nor understand how any of it is connected to the games industry, this video is a great summary and call to action.
