In earlier days of the internet people would say “don’t read the comments” but now the entire internet is the comments.

Every dialog box that only has Yes/No options should have keyboard shortcuts where F1 means Yes and F2 means No (or whatever).
And also shortcuts for the mouse (if it has enough buttons).

I waste too much time just moving the mouse around to click these dumb buttons.

Valve could make a SteamDeck-like Tablet. It could have a chance to unf*ck the mobile games market.

I'll be showing Miegakure publicly for the first time in a while at this year's SIGGRAPH Real-Time Live! session!

It'll be a good opportunity to restart talking about the game—especially since it's my kind of audience: appreciative of works at the intersection of art & science

4D Toys is now out on Oculus Quest! www.meta.com/en-us/experi...

AR version of 4D Toys for Oculus Quest coming soon.

To succeed at the internet these days you have to be smart enough to not make complete trash but also dumb enough to have the desire to constantly talk about whatever shit you made as if it is interesting/original.

The crazy thing about Gmail is if you attach inline images to your email, every time someone replies they endlessly share these images back and forth, wasting a ton of space - which of course then requires people to pay for google cloud storage!!

There's this question about how should you order the components of 3D bivectors, like should it be lexicographic (XY,XZ,YZ) or should it match the dual (X,Y,Z)->(YZ,ZY,XY) and I'm firmly in the lexicographic camp because it generalizes to nD.... *but then* there's this whole other annoyance ...

I will say, when you work on something for this long, good new ideas don't come up very often, but when they do, they are crazy good. Like the French saying "Best Soups are Made in Old Pots" or something.

What is your most anticipated high-profile puzzle or trippy game? Besides Thekla's new game and Miegakure I can't think of anything.

What was famous and special and funny about David Lynch is that he was completely fine with his work not giving the audience clear answers. And personally this resonates with how so much of being a scientist is being comfortable with the state of not knowing the answer while you look for it.

Social media systems are just badly designed. One has to think deeply about how a system will shape people's incentives. Game designers know this well: Journey is a positive example and Farmville a negative one.
