in absolute awe of the Zelda:TOTK physics engine. to be completely stable while giving the player ability to create arbitrary constraints is an incredible achievement! also very curious how much it will break at 60+ fps in emulators.

creative people in AI should know the 1954 ronald dahl short story “the great automatic grammatizator” about a writing machine that works faster & better than humans. authors prefer the machine writing and sell their name to the inventor. it’s all there. https://d-a-v-e.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/The_Great_Automatic_Grammatizator.pdf
it absolutely blows my mind that tripod.com is still around and still hosting for free the website i made on it over two decades ago, subdomain and all.

ever have a real good idea for a story, start writing it out and realize it's just the plot of 12 Monkeys?

It's RFC 1's 54th birthday! If you were unaware, in 2019 I did a blog-a-day project where I read through and summarized/contextualized each of the first RFCs up through RFC 365.

I even uncovered a lost RFC!

is there a letterboxd for music?
been replaying MGSV and there is an intangible but very present feeling of the Fox Engine adding a certain aesthetic quality to the game. i wonder if Pro Evolution Soccer, which was the only other game (series) developed using that engine retained some of that feeling
yes I use ECS
E - Unnecessary
C - Complexity
S - Just To Feel Something

I don't think we talk about Orthocera enough. Everyone is like "Yeah and then for awhile there were 30ft long squid-like creatures in dunce caps... anyways moving right along..."
And I just want to say "Hold up... HOW long?"
I bet deep in the ancestral memory of the octopus and the deep sea squid they remember... Ancestors. The Pointy Ones.
We need to shut down all evolution until we can find out what's going on!
