  Ahh, the place from which I fetched G’raha Tia.

  It is - without the quiet zone, it makes detecting the locator pattern really difficult, especially in one’s looking for the 1:1:3:1:1 ratio.

  Used to write software for reading QR Codes, and it was a fascinating process, dealing with increasingly bad customer images. They’re pretty resilient though!

  Good ol" BobbyB does not miss, thank the gods. Memes aside, his work is indeed phenomenal.

  Snilk perhaps?

  I’ve been playing Heart of the Machine, and really enjoying it. It’s a fascinating 4x ish in a future city, in a bit of an inversion of AI Wars (same developer). Before playing, I was merely intrigued, but now I’m excitedly awaiting where it goes. It was, however, initially difficult to figure out what to do. Perhaps more UX is going to be useful here.

  Oh fuck, more TTP2? God yes, bring it on! I will gleefully devour anything this series produces.

  I don’t play Trackmania at all, but it’s been really fun to watch the daily edits that Wirtual’s YouTube has been making for the live streams. Watching someone’s heart rate shoot up ~40 bpm just after making a butt clenching jump is vicariously entertaining in the max. His video on Deep Dip 1 was also fantastic.

  There was an episode of PBS Space Time on the holographic principle in general recently, and I believe they’ve also discussed the black hole thing as well.

  While there’ve certainly been some player characters faces that have been worsened by the changes, my Femezen came out pretty great, so I’m happy about that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battle Grouse⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is -exactly- what I thought of, seeing this picture. As a side note, there’s a family of Roseate Spoonbills that live near me, and everytime I pass them, I think “This is a good bird to know.” They’re really quite pretty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some languages use gendered nouns?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have the source with me, but I recall a paper about listening to various languages unser different signal/ noise thresholds. If I recall correctly, languages like German that have multiple declensions were about to better able to parse noisy samples because of the redundant information. Sorry for not having the source off hand though.

  Slowly working my way up to harder difficulties in Against The Storm. Up to Prestige 6 now. Really nice difficulty curve.

  Also got and finished Chants of Sennaar, and loved it! I’d really love a hard mode dlc without the journal some time, for a new language. I still need to finish Heavens Vault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Against The Storm v1.1 update is out, improving early game variety and bringing a lot of QoL features⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty darn sure that houses are only for number tracking purposes. You can have them anywhere in the radius of the hearth and they’ll function the same. Similar to decorations that way, in functionality.
