Incidentally, Waves of Steel is 33% off! It's a build-your-own-warship arcade naval combat game where you can kickflip over torpedoes and go to ramming speed! store.steampowered.com/app/1482750/...

My Steam stats for Waves of Steel, the naval combat game I made. I've played for 12876 hours, and have 28/29 achievements.

It's deeply funny that, after nearly 13000 hours of "playtime", I'm still missing an achievement in MY OWN GAME

Doctors don't typically start earning more than "bare subsistence" money until they're in their 30's. And most take on a ton of debt to make it through school. Smoothing that curve out makes a ton of sense.

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Like this, basically. I think the form works best because the letters appearances are so closely tied to the sound

I use ProtoRichText in UE, it supports inlined text styling, so you could do e.g. <text style="Default">this text is visible</><text style="Transparent"> but this text is not</>.

Writing the layout markup is kind of annoying though.

Most game engines should have some kind of "number of characters displayed" setting on their text objects. I know for a fact that Unity's TextMeshPro does. If you want to do typewriter effects, modify that value, don't change the actual string! It avoids layout issues *and* is more efficient!

been working hard to deliver on a certain promise

Should rephrase: "you can be never-conscious and still think"

Note that I don't think consciousness is a requirement. Consciousness is a party trick where the thing being modeled is the thing doing the thinking. You can never be conscious (for whatever reason) and still think.

Off the top of my head: I'd say that to think, you need to be able to learn to model something, make predictions based on your model, and update the model over time.

By this metric, many computers are part of thinking human-computer gestalt entities.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.

Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

Anecdotally, I will say that simply turning on more lights *in general* helps when I'm feeling gloomy, even if they aren't full spectrum.

My understanding is that the light needs to be in your field of view for a fairly substantial amount of time. My dad had a visor with lights in it that he would wear for a couple of hours each evening, for example.

I'm not an expert, though, so please don't treat this as medical advice.

A reminder from Isabelle

Full-spectrum lights *can* help people with seasonal affective disorder, if used correctly. That's a pretty substantial caveat. It's not just a matter of "buy the expensive lightbulb and you'll feel better."

There is no way you can guess how the thread that ends in this instant classic begins.

A while ago, I asked people on bluesky to tell me the name of the movie Koyaanisqatsi without looking up the spelling. I made a musical algorithm based on the answers.

I figure I owe you a demo of what it sounds like!

The only line of dialog I remember from Witching Stone is "I hope you know what you're doing"

Good luck!

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.
