A video to be used on a longer video teaser. Again, Dash! @treegames @andrescartin @polloymedio @kako26i #gamedev #gamedesign #cutegame #wholesome #Unity3d #indiegamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegamedeveloper #screenshotsaturday

@SwipeWright YES - they're so good. Tried to buy a ticket to see them and soldout the same second it was available TT

FINALLY (!) a new band an old Primus junkie like me can enjoy. Their rapid growth in popularity since debuting a month ago makes me think the kids will be all right! Angine de Poitrine

@levelsio Ah man I got the insert CD key message, lol brings back memories. Do I really need one?

Chaos @ q3.pieter.com now :D

I just saw the much talked about film “Project Hail Mary.” It's very entertaining and uplifting and features a fine performance from Ryan Gosling. But what most intrigued me were the powerful Christian themes at play in it. The title, of course, refers to the Hail Mary pass in football, since the adventure undertaken is a fairly desperate attempt to save the planet. But it also becomes eminently clear that the reference is not just to football but to the Blessed Mother herself, for the Gosling character is undoubtedly a Christ-figure. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but it involves a willingness to sacrifice one's life utterly in order to deliver the entire human race from disaster. It is, of course, no accident that Gosling's character is called Ryland Grace, for throughout the movie, his presence and actions constitute undeserved favor to others. A particularly intriguing character in the film is a sober German scientist who relentlessly presses Grace to make the supreme sacrifice, even when he is unwilling. She represented for me the great moral demand that presses upon us throughout our lives, continually summoning us to self-gift. A last observation: Jesus had a second in command whom he called Peter (the Rock); Ryland Grace has a very unusual sidekick whom he calls “Rocky.” I'll leave it at that. I know lots of people say that Christianity is in irreversible decline and that we are inhabiting, at least in the West, a post-Christian society. I'm not so sure. Like it or not, we remain a Christ-haunted culture—and a film like “Project Hail Mary” makes this clear.

@JimArkham @andrewklavan @SpencerKlavan the movie was awesome. I havent read nor listened to the audiobook, but it was very very nice.

@andrewklavan @SpencerKlavan The audiobook is a triumph. I may avoid the movie just to keep it from being a disappointment to me.

Next week @SpencerKlavan and I will test out a new show called “Klavans on the Culture.” Project Hail Mary will be our first subject.

I think the correct way to use AI is to speed up your work pipeline, not to replace the artist. Ever since Photoshop, we've used photo references for textures to get to an acceptable end result faster. Same with speedpainting and concept art. AI should be viewed in the same light: Use it carefully to improve workflow. Here's a test character I did to validate an idea before heading to production.

Is there a right way to do AI in games? One studio thinks so. AI created jobs at their studio. The final result is all human art.

@TheCinesthetic I just realized @WTSmith17 has some serious Keanu vibes

Before becoming a Hollywood star, Keanu Reeves worked for CBC and reported on a teddy bear convention in 1984.

Earth without art is just “eh.”

@TOEwithCurt Fantastic video, really on point critique of Neil's non sensocal statement. Gj and thank you for sharing.

What do Neil deGrasse Tyson and Deepak Chopra have in common? Click the reply for the full video...

@Jordan_Keal Me and the family were saving up for buying something at some point here. With this news, I think we'll reco sider our plans. I don't know what this means for land owners in BC.

This is turning into a tsunami of ripple effects!

@Jakob_Wahlberg Dang you are SO good with game feel. This is fantastic.

"Dad, this is much more fun than Mario Kart!" After playing my son also started giving some hot tips on cool abilities we should add. Dash, Grapplehook, Minigun etc! Design credits incoming. Also working on this new level.

ive always thought of Eric of being incredibly honest and open, and love when he approaches the boundaries of secular thought.

@MKBHD i will not trust a foldable phone in the near future. My wifes Samsung flip phone started giving us trouble 6 months in. Then we replaced and the replacement lasted about 4 months.

Phone companies: We've tested our hinge mechanism for 200,000 folds, so that should cover 5 years of use Users:

@EScrimshaw This event is a celebration and a renewed hope for the Venezuelan people. I pray Canada praises Trump and his ongoing efforts to help latin america n countries from narco dictatorships.

I really hope I wake up to a strong statement from Carney/Anand denouncing America’s horrific actions in Venezuela

Love the reference! The Great Divorce is a great thought provoking book. It struck me how CS Lewis pinpointed people avoiding or recognizing a better place to be and wanting to go back to their own hell due to their pride and blindness. I can see this everyday with family and friends.

Here's one of my favorite C. S. Lewis quotes. "What sat on his shoulder was a little red lizard, and it was twitching its tail like a whip and whispering things in his ear. As we caught sight of him he turned his head to the reptile with a snarl of impatience. "Shut up, I tell you!" he said. It wagged its tail and continued to whisper to him. He ceased snarling, and presently began to smile."

@bryan_johnson Ok Bryan

I don’t see myself as Bryan Johnson, but as a collection of 68 trillion cells. Over half of those cells (38 trillion) are foreign bacteria. Aliens that I host.  There’s also various versions of me. There’s a version of me that feels energetic and vibrant in the mornings; there is another Bryan at 7 pm who is worn from the day. There’s a dad version of me and so on. Each of these Bryans has a distinct physiological configuration. My brain tries to smooth over these differences and contradictions and fuse them into a single identity, but the data tells a different story. I’ve spent the past few years trying to characterize each version of me. Unsurprisingly, I’ve found that data can explain my subjective mental and emotional states. Explaining why I feel vivacious, or lethargic, or in love.  There are biochemical signatures for all of it. We know this, but seeing it makes it hit differently. Measuring myself and seeing these emergent states in real time has led me to be especially thoughtful about the factors that influence my conscious experience. I am basically my inputs. Things such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, environment, stress, biomarkers and relationships. Carefully designing these, I’ve been able to create more predictability and control over my conscious existence. Where it felt kind of random before, or that I was being pushed around by forces outside of my influence, so much of my lived experience now feels algorithmic. While that might sound dystopic to some, it feels liberating and empowering to me.

@Sup3rGl1tch @RetroTechDreams Yes, I agree mostly for ingame since it's your exploration that takes the time- but the intro video timing is too long imo. Also sometimes the random item/action combination can be frustrating rather than comical or logical.

@ZeroCartin @RetroTechDreams Being slow for a Point and click is not a problem. This is literally what makes the genre enjoyable. You take your time to understand and unlock the story.
