The beach is paradise for a puppy that loves to eat rocks. 😬 No fish today. I’m 0/2 this week. #flyfishing #puppy

This junker has seen a lot. And definitely the most fish. #orvis #flyfishing #saltwater

Got my first Lamson reel. Line is WF6I. Rivers are high again so I’m going to be in the salt until the rain calms down (which is never). I’m pretty excited about this sealed drag. #flyfishing #saltwater #trout #pnw #lamson #rio

You ever see the herd at first light and their white butts look like a bunch of ghosts floating around. #flyfishing

Every year I am reminded that Klaus is not only the single best Christmas movie ever made but also the best animated film in general. I’ve decided, and it’s final.

I love being stared at while reading. It’s not distracting at all.

More optimizations ~

Big CPU bottleneck happens if hundreds of NPCs have to determine their targets on the same game tick.

I solved this by creating a groupthink system. When an NPC (red) identifies a target, it broadcasts (yellow) to nearby NPCs

I know her description is different in the book, but I pictured Nineteen Adze as Vanessa Kirby while reading A Memory Called Empire.

Figured out the layout and camera placement for the conversation UI.

With this setup, regardless of distance, the player and NPC are always in frame.

Penny’s favorite chew toy is socks fresh off my feet. I think she sucks the flavor off them.

I spent the last decade thinking this was dead, but for some reason kept it in a box. The batteries were put in wrong. 😩 it totally works and I’m stoked!!! Let’s go 43 year old circuit boards!
