The Internet Archive is a real library that uses Controlled Digital Lending to let you borrow a book for an hour. They're getting sued for this and it sucks but put that aside. Here is a book I just borrowed. It told me how to build a catapult in my backyard. I returned it, so you can borrow it next.
@paul quake2 source is a good read. it's a mess, but i learned a lot about engine architecture from it when it was first opensourced
Mastodon admin question
I can't see the total number of favorites or reblogs on posts from other instances unless I look at it on that instance. Is that by design or do I have something misconfigured on my instance?
@kaho it would be cool if you could add versions of a toot in different languages
Here is the full online archive of Technical Aesthetics, a monthly industrial design magazine published by the Soviet Technical Aesthetics Research Institute from 1964 - 1992.

looking for playtesters
In addition to plotter art I'm a game dev & I'm looking for a few groups to test my upcoming wargame, Skirmish Society.
It's based on Diplomacy but run through Discord. You secretly submit orders to a bot and you scheme with other players over DM. It is as much about statesmanship & swaying public opinion as it is about tactics. Each turn is 24h & the game takes a little over a week.
If you have a Discord server that might enjoy this hit me up & I'll send you some codes!
the best part of research paper videos is the dunking on related work

A thing I have been very much enjoying the past few days is just periodically opening and reading https://brands.town/public
someone implemented basic realtime caustics using Blender geometry nodes via what looks like vertex projection. curious if this method has been used anywhere else.
@nasser ah yah its just for asset export the import on whatever the engine side would be handled on the engine side. But would be interesting to have a system for generic hooks to trigger running apps. Tho they can just watch the exported asset files
@nasser Yeah we have a bunch of scripts currently that it runs via headless blender command line, but ya anything that can be run as a command can be used
@nasser yeah it has a bunch of version control stuff but part of the functionality is defining scripts to automatically export assets when their source files change (blender currently).
@nasser this is pretty much the asset management tool i'm building with Igal
