If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

www.bfxr.net BFXR major update. I need to spend a *lot* more time with the presets of the instruments, but I was so immediately sold by the Mixfxr tool (that just overlaps two existing synths) that I had to put it live RIGHT AWAY. Try it out!

I don't think LLM-based software systems are like homeopathy in the sense that they don't work at all; they're more like cars, in the sense that they do do the things they're meant to do but those things are not generally good for society.

Have I played “Control Resonant”? Sorry…I’m too busy reading the story of a man who “Controls Rocinante”…that’s right, Miguel Cervantes’ immortal tale “Don Quixote de La Mancha”. So you enjoy your strange “Federal Bureau”…I’ll be delighting in the adventures of Sancho Panza and his “Friendly Burro”

However, the game doesn’t have any way to view any credits in-game until you reach an ending. I don’t consider this to be an appropriate level of crediting for either the creators of the original games or the talented members of the Thekla team, and it doesn’t meet industry standards.

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

oh huh the thumbnail crops off the words here are the words see the joke is that elizabeth holmes mouse ate nathan's cheese and is lying about it in a way that is unnerving
It is a cartoon mouse, like Jerry from Tom and Jerry, shaped like a wedge of cheese presumably because it has eaten a wedge of cheese. The mouse has Elizabeth Holmes' face. The mouse is saying "Why would I deceive you? There's no reason for me to do that."

Nathan Fielder, looking into a fridge where the mouse has eaten a cheese, says skeptically "Okay. Alright."

Silvery-cheeked Hornbill, who was honking every eight seconds 🪶🐡
Male hornbill with a big, fancy casque. His plumage is mostly black with silver-tipped head feathers and auriculars, and he has a shaggy crest. He looks to the right with his head angled down. His casque doubles the height of his beak and is lighter in color. All that facial keratin is richly textured and grooved.

KO_OP: 🪐 Wishlist Young Suns on Steam! @ko-op.com · 10/09/2026
An important update from KO_OP.
With great sadness and respect, over the next few months KO_OP will be saying goodbye to 13 members of our team. This decision was made to ensure the survival of the studio, and we deeply regret its necessity and the negative impact on our colleagues’ lives.

KO_OP has been making games for nearly a decade and a half, and our project funding has primarily come from publishers and platform partners. The games funding landscape has changed radically over the last few years, and unlike previous project cycles, this time we have been unable to secure funding for new projects while developing our current engagements.

As with all our company's operational decisions, this one was made democratically, and was motivated by the survival of the studio rather than maximizing profits. Our members are regularly updated on our cash flow situation, and were made aware of this upcoming shortfall well in advance. Membership then appointed a group to plan for this eventuality, and ratified their recommendations. Team leads and our elected executives will also be impacted by these reductions. We believe this level of transparency and accountability ought to be a minimum requirement for all organizations.

Young Suns will be reaching new platforms, with new content and features. We're all tremendously proud of it, and hope it will find its audience. Our bylaws ensure that any profits from Young Suns will still be shared with impacted team members. Our goal now is to develop new game concepts and prototypes while continuing to support Young Suns. In the event that we secure funding in the coming months, our intent is to rehire as many of our colleagues as possible.

In the coming days we will be sharing a list of impacted workers in the hopes of helping them find new work. We thank you for your support.

I can't stand the whole "but I'm using AI because I don't know how to do X in my game". - Find a creative solution around your limitations. - Try to do something for the first time. - Collaborate with friends. Basically, try to enjoy the process. Otherwise, what's the point?
