Having a quick, exploratory stab at My Least Favorite Part of Game Design, namely tutorials.
I personally just fucking hate tutorials, because they're usually boring, condescending and ultimately quite pointless because the majority of games are completely conventional.
But you gotta have 'em.

Some character designs/sculpts from *checks watch* 15 years ago?!?!? These were heavily influenced by animation maquettes by Kent Melton (RIP) and Team Fortress 2.

hot take: iconoclasts effing rules and is one of the only narrative metroidvanias that strongly holds up on story AND gameplay
Happy 🔧 ICONOCLASTS 🔧 anniversary!
Sat a long time on physical goods, and could use help for coming projects. I decided to try a few auctions for support! Hope this is a good avenue for those of you asking for this.

Yesterday I decided to return to the elliptical machine to give my knees and feet rest from drumming out 5K every time I go to the gym.
Today my back hurts so bad it literally takes my breath away. Great success!

"Dreamcast", a haiku
Each day he rises.
Asks me, "Is it still launch day?"
"Yes," I lie. "Always."

I have literally done exactly the same reasoning and been met with what I can only describe as bovine, uncomprehending looks of lazy derision.
Now, fortunately, I have data to back up my economystical claims about price perception, and will be unstoppable.

Wonder whether Europe's political dynamics are helped or harmed by variety of languages. It wouldn't even occur to me to participate in local politics in Barcelona, even if my Spanish was totally fluent, because you can bet your sweet ass these motherfuckers don't even conduct themselves in Spanish.

It's so handy that just as people flipped and went from "the internet is not real get is grip" to "actually the internet is very serious business", LLMs came along and now idea of trusting information from the internet is just patently ludicrous, like what kind of idiot would ever do that for real?

I'm looking for a highly efficient floating point (0-1) noise for a compute shader
The only input I have is, time as a frame index (uint), x and y coordinates (uint2), width and height of output buffer (uint2), and the current point's coordinate (uint2)
(1/2)

It's been a long time coming, but we are finally updating the website to represent where the game is at right now. Still a work in progress, but the Sydney3 page has some new city shots and a bit of backstory.
