Today's vibes: Madoka Ayukawa (Kimagure Orange Road).

A black and white manga illustration of Madoka leaning casually against a sports car, one knee raised coyly as she leans back. She's wearing a bomber jacket, miniskirt and blouse, and knee high boots and stockings.

Cousin INSISTS I get to the airport 4 hours ahead of my flight, to beat any early morning traffic. Due to the size of the airport, they are only allowing us through security a couple hours before the flight. -_- Watching pops drink a coffee in the meantime.

given a quaternion rotation q, q² doubles the rotation √q halves the rotation qˣ scales the rotation by x as a rule of thumb - whatever operator you would use with vectors, like, say, addition, elevate it to the higher order operator (multiplication) to do the same thing on a quaternion

a table comparing vector operations to quaternion operations side by side, highlighting the similarities. the quaternion variants look almost identical, except they use the next higher order operator in each expression. ie: multiplication instead of addition. exponentiation instead of multiplication, etc.

For every "look at the good AI can do, you just hate icky machine output," I'm reminded that no, AI is not worth any small wins that can come from it. There is always some beta, a catch, a test gone wrong.

I am very glad that in my SE career I was only working a short amount of time for a client that was in the MIC. And that the work was on a VR firefighter pump operations trainer.

While out of the States, I'm trying some different things with my data. First, using a different Pixel 7 Pro model, but with GrapheneOS. Wanted something security-focused with easy back up and flash ability. Using a cheap esim for data. Second, backing data up to home NAS nightly. Good for pics.

Health is stable again, so ya Malta is nice this time of year.

Myself at the Triton Fountain in front of Valletta. I am forever tired because even after a week here, my sleep schedule still hasn't adjusted.

The main drag of Valletta, Republic Street, early enough that cars are driving it. This is usually filled with tourists by 930 am.

My uncle, Charles, meeting his "good friend" Chase, shop dog for a small dress store near the Queen Victoria Statue. Chase is a very good boy.

Carter's Quest pretty apocalyptically failed to catch an audience, even with Act 1, and I really do have to wonder what more people could have asked for. It stands in opposition to basically everything people complain about in games, indie and otherwise. It's for so many more people than ever saw it

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos

"Things are still very chaotic," a current id Software employee who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly told Aftermath. "While there has been an attempt to communicate to the studios, it is still entirely in bullshit corporate speak. I still don't believe they have a clear vision for the future. The only concrete thing they have communicated is they want higher profits, and they want it now. Aggressive goals are being set that would have been unrealistic even before the layoffs. ... To say the workers within Xbox have a dim view of the future is putting it mildly. We keep thinking morale can't sink lower but the obvious incompetence of Xbox management somehow keeps driving it down worse."
This mirrors shifts in strategy that have come to dominate the still-new Sharma era, including others outlined Tuesday. Rare is joining Activision, Turn 10 and Playground are fusing, and—most gallingly, considering their history—Obsidian is being folded into Bethesda to work on Fallout instead of its own original series. As with the previous round of layoffs, details betray Microsoft's haphazard approach: A Halo developer got promoted and laid off in the same week. Gears of War: E-Day's story director is out of a job days after celebrating that the game had gone gold. Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, now without a buyer after a brief glimmer of hope, is once again on the chopping block.
All of this betrays a simplistic mindset that does not accurately reflect the reality of game development: People are disposable, studios are interchangeable, and series can be traded like sports teams. Nothing matters more than franchises and their money-printing prowess. Unless, evidently, you are Hideo Kojima, in which case Microsoft suddenly has money to burn.

Since a dev shared his game concept last month, Steam has been flooded with vibe-coded slop clones. This is what "democratising creativity" actually looks like. Even with AI, your ideas are worthless as long as they can be plagiarised at scale. Gen AI was designed for plagiarism, NOT creativity.
