I like how I know this story didn’t happen anywhere close to me since: no one calls them “cycle paths”, we hardly have any “bike lanes” anyway, and we definitely don’t have any trains to ride while discussing biking.
Now, if this had been a story about guns, trucks, and psychopaths, it would have been very relatable.
The book is very good! I happened to catch wind of it right after it came out. Its a great mix of Visitor’s personal experiences in TV, and her research and interviews with many women who’ve worked in Trek over the years. She writes well and the stories are both personal and educational about the history of the show and the medium.
He likens Arkane’s approach to studios like Larian and FromSoftware: “Those are people that have been doing, over and over, the thing they know exactly how to do, until it hits super hard. So to me, that’s what Arkane had to do.”
Damn, what a concept: doing the same kind of game multiple times, iterating on the design to perfect it. Obviously Bethesda gets releasing the same game over and over again, but this idea of “improving” the design is so alien to them. Wouldn’t adding thousands of microtransactions be an improvement?
I’m making fun of the common practice, exemplified by Bethesda, of leaving bugs in their games for the modders to fix. The joke, in this case is that Rocket Werkz is leaving an “unfinished feature” in that is a Hard Problem in physics. There isn’t a general, easy solution to the N-body problem.
I also got randomly sent this image from a matrix on the technics.de server. Aside from all the antisemitism and nazi stuff, I admit I was a little charmed by it. Reminded me of timecube and the good old days of how the Internet used to be a place for nerds, outcasts, and complete fucking psychopaths.

One reachier goal is to add an n-body physics system. […] RocketWerkz say there’s a “small chance” of RocketWerkz developing such a simulation internally - they’re currently trying to hire somebody with a PhD to apply the requisite high-density brain-magic - but it’s likely this will be left for modders to figure out.
The next Bethesda game is just going to have a bug dependent on solving the Reimann conjecture, smh, always waiting on the modders to solve the company’s intractable math mysteries.
I was wondering why HW3 was “controversial” and apparently I didn’t realize:
Thanks Randy! Fucking grease weasel ruins another great franchise.
As a person who occasionally makes confessional asides “to the camera” I find it amusing to rhetorically ask “Chat” about things. “Ugh, I don’t wanna cook tonight. How about it Chat, we ordering pizza?”
Sadly, the Hilbert Hotel is slated for demolition which is why it’s on Sisyphus’ path. After that whole “everyone moves to double their room number” debacle, Hilbert had to process a fraction of the infinite guests’ refunds because they didn’t feel like changing rooms to one several million hallways down. And a percentage of infinite guests refunds is still infinite, so Hilbert is in infinite debt now.
Theseus, meanwhile, has been trying to justify buying a new ship for ages but his crew is adamant about right to repair, so he’s looking for an easy exit.
IBM provided business machines (internationally, even) to Nazi Germany, probably a big help in bureaucratically processing those millions of murders they were doing. I can’t (or perhaps, “won’t” is truer) imagine how much cloud compute a modern genocide requires.
Random eyes on things is just a Yooka-Laylee theme. One of the enemies in the first game is a pair of cartoon eyes that can take over inanimate objects. A lot of characters are just a random object with a pair of cartoon eyes.

AUF WIEDERSEHEN!
Going into physics was the biggest mistake of my life. I should’ve declared CS. I still wouldn’t have any women, but at least I’d be rolling in cash.
Honestly, there wasn’t all that much cash to roll in and there’s less all the time now. Plus, if you think busted equipment is bad, wait until I tell you about inheriting legacy code.
Thish posht… isht very intereshting sniff what ideology can we ashsume from it?
