Now this is podracing!

I feel like, as designers, we don't talk enough about when you've misplaced the fun.
Like, you found it, and you had it, and then you put it down for a second but can't for the life of you remember where you left it.

Is Godot Jolt close to being ready? https://github.com/godot-jolt/godot-jolt
#GodotEngine even feels like a completely new engine w/ physics from Jolt!
Now even CharacterBody3D move_and_slide is kind of working in Jolt and all the physics issues I have with the CharacterBody3D using Godot 4 Physics are not present with Jolt (specifically getting stuck in geometry and stuttering when colliding with convex hulls).
Can't wait for it to be ready! It's what Godot 4 is missing for 3D.
I fuckin hate the Rainbow Infinity autism pride logo. But for extremely autistic reasons.

I feel like whether you make the robot's head a camera or a screen tells something interesting about you.

hey cis people
shit's really ramping up with this whole trans genocide
you're gonna start seeing a lot of posts where trans people are trying to crowdfund an escape from one of the places where they're actively being genocided
if you're wondering what can you do to materially help trans people survive the arriving shitstorm... BOOST THESE POSTS
your boost could be the one that makes a difference and puts it in front of the right person to donate

The Videogame Industry Does Not Exist, my new book with @themitpress is out now! This is my attempt to intervene in how we talk and think about gamemaking as not just an entertainment industry but as a cultural field, built up from complex tensions between commercial and creative pressures and identities.
It's open access, and you can read it here: https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5572/The-Videogame-Industry-Does-Not-ExistWhy-We-Should
I wrote a long thread on Twitter with a bunch of excerpts which I won't reproduce here, but it's there if you're interested: https://twitter.com/BRKeogh/status/1648452116749643778

This week's #ScreenshotSaturday for #ProjectWeirdLittleGuy is showing off some amazing trees that Clover put together with a cool foliage shader I whipped up that I'm pretty happy with.
Renfield is fuckin joyous. An absolutely brilliant argument for the importance of public domain. Be warned that it is joyfully gory and it's codependence/abuse story is camp as hell. But go watch it to see everyone involved just having the most fun making a ridiculous movie. 
Ash McAllan shared 2 years agoI've admittedly drifted back to Twitter this past month or so. Network effects are strong! But I should note here as well that my new book is out next week, and this week I received my author copies and this was very exciting.
Details on the book here: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262545402/

I wrote a Python script that accepts a line of input and then prints “Yes” or “No” randomly in response.
I asked it if it was sentient, and it said yes, and I got chills, man.
_Chills_.
