Imo lower frame rates, esp for first person and VR, are more likely to cause motion sickness.

You can now play Project Zomboid in first and third person 😳 The PZ3D mod moves the camera right onto the character, turning the familiar isometric view into a full 3D action game. The dev relies on the open modding architecture, though... #SteamAndEpic #Project #Zomboid #Leave #PZ3D #Architecture

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

Atlas

A living map of what Bluesky is talking about: the past week's conversations, grouped into topics and regions and rebuilt every six hours.

Now that AI models are encoding a marker to identify AI generated content, the logical extension is permanent license and monetization of all generated content. Better read the terms of service of any AI model you're using very carefully.

Much to my chagrin, he really wanted to drive home "people our age" and "when we were kids", so I guess I've been accepted as a fellow old white man.

Sometimes, rarely, I get to tell someone that helpfully , but usually if it's a unknown federal or state regulation. And then it's not "that shouldn't happen because it's illegal, but here's how you may be able to fix it."

I made a node to draw stars, but it didn't do everything I wanted exactly the way I wanted, so I made another. And now I stretch some stars around and turn them inside out for you. #Blender #MotionGraphics #GeometryNodes

Y'know, in the age of life service games, is it possible that buying up smaller successful studios and then firing the talent was a strategy to prevent competition?

I mean, it's pretty easy to overestimate how self-sufficient these AI are. It wouldn't be fun, but it would be pretty trivial to remove them at the current stage. Now as we build grid-independent, wireless data centers...

This is one of the best dev logs. Shows the entire process of development, what worked, what didn't, and you can go from the original experiment all the way to a whole well realized game.

The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am

A scene parodying the Neon Genesis Evangelion scene of Asuka and her Eva unit getting pierced by the spear of longinus. In this scene, Linguini and Remy from Pixar's Ratatouille take the place of the EVA unit and Asuka respectively. Linguinis eye is pierced by a fork version of the spear and Remy is depicted in an inset where he is grabbing his eye and screaming like the anime. There are anime subtitles at the bottom that say "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Seriously, get gambling, legal or otherwise, the phuck out of sports. Now, before it’s too late. It’s entirely possible gambling could be the undoing of sports as we know them. There are too many bad actors, including people and athletes involved in and around sports, who could ruin it for everyone.
