I think when starfleet realised every ship has at least one horny fucker shoving their genitals at anything that wasnโ€™t space (Iโ€™m guessing some tried boning actual space too), they probably stopped enforcing these kinds of rules so strictly

My first time doing VR dev, I made a quick character controller to inspect the scenes. Donned the headset, pressed forward, threw up.

Line Rider was as close to 1D gaming as weโ€™ll ever get

Making 3D games versus making 2D games...

On the plus side, you can move/rotate the camera and zoom in/out to a greater degree.

On the down side, you can move/rotate the camera and zoom in/out to a greater degree.

Pros: 3rd dimension adds a lot of options and flexibility

Cons: 3rd dimension adds a lot of options and flexibility

Getting whacked because I asked a chatbot to "tell my mafia associates I'm not a rat in a way that makes them believe me"

Thankfully in my case my hyperfixation just before starting meds was researching the meds. Biggest takeaways were appetite loss and the habit forming.

The appetite loss made me figure that if nothing was appetising, I might as well go for healthier meals and learn to cook

The real trick is to establish new beneficial habits while theyโ€™re still going strong, so by the time they settle into a โ€˜normalโ€™ level youโ€™ll have at least a few of these still going simply through routine

Sometimes I think I find the key to triggering the meds consistently but then on the third day Iโ€™m a fleshy sofa mass until like 3pm, after which Iโ€™ll spend 5 hours as a blur before inevitably crashing with headaches.

Itโ€™s cool stuff

My truths are often revealed during sleep, or when Iโ€™m listening to music and zoning out.

Also sometimes while taking a shit

Just gotta combine all 3 to unlock the deeper truths of the universe

But theyโ€™re peas but nuts. and peas grow on stalks? Maybe? Beans grow on stalks and peas are just little baked beans

Fuck, now Iโ€™m thinking about all the beans. Runner beans grow on climber stalk things, do other beans?

What even are beans and peas? Is the whole world a lie of beans?

You folks seemed to enjoy the early facial animation test from Mythwrecked that I shared yesterday, so here's another one...

This time it's Tove, from our debut indie game Rรถki.

I'd put it this way: The reason its so easy to notice AI generated meshes in a dev pipeline is because theyre so dang awful, theres no way a professional or student of any level would have made them by hand.

Is it just me, or has there been an odd increase in webpages with unframed white text fields and checkboxes on white backgrounds?

Y'know, where its impossible to actually see them, and you may not even know they exist until you get that red error text because you didnt fill everything in properly.
