Technical gremlins with @velshimsnow.bsky.social today, resulting in 20+ minutes of commercials. I can only imagine the panic that the team was feeling while desperately trying to fix it. #velshi

I rewrote the real-time lava simulation for our game, and I'm pretty happy with the results. The temperature-dependent viscosity & solidification naturally cause channelization and breakouts. And I haven't even added shear stresses yet.
