... exploring abstract art using midjourney ai
Hey Kid, it ain't that kind of empire.

Seems like a good place for a loop :)

Basically: It's very much grounded in science.
But: It's not as simple as many put it.
The Wikipedia article seems like a good starting point. There's a lot of research on the topic.

And here's one where I pushed the prompt a bit in the direction of landscape paintings.

And here's one where the colors are more opaque

Another one where the black takes a bit more space

How about a tiny animation freeze on impact?

You don't need any gadget for this. Simply fold the socks together (there's various tutorials on YouTube).

There's also a publishing/branding/marketing category called "New Adult" rather than YA. From what I've gathered it's aimed at 20-30 year olds. YA tropes with violence and intercourse.

I had the same experience: I really had to sit myself down a few times to work through some of the content. I think the worst part is that exploration is not worth it. Unless you have a quest for an area, don't even bother going there.

I sincerely regret bothering with the open world in "rebirth". A few pieces where worth it (the card game!!) but it's mostly detached filler. Some of it cringe. You can clearly feel the team topology. The main story is grandiose, though!

Reminds me a lot of motocross maniacs ❤️

I guess a guiding principle should be to have enough space between the points of access so that the player can not easily see the pattern. And maybe interweave the levels with the outside world: No clear boxing of the content.

This can be applied in varying levels of quality, though: Some of the content bits in Cyberpunk feel like boring small shoeboxes that just have different holes in them. Especially the many gang-occupied gyms/bars. Others feel interesting to explore and like a space for discovery and exploration.

I guess there's a few non-technical issues that prevent it: Costs, Copyright issues.

In the end, I think this is easier to solve via browser plug-ins and not on a per-app/per-platform level.

I'm still procrastinating to put them up, though 😅

I just created a calendar two weeks ago: I wanted one in portrait format rather than the usual landscape. Do I used Chat GPT to generate some JS that outputs LaTeX. I then put it into overleaf to generate PDFs. Finally, I used a print on demand service to get the calendars delivered to my door.

More from the same series...

It seems the embedded player does not use the timestamp in the link: In this rendition, the passage starts at 14:20

Also: Theres a passage in the 8th symphony of Shostakovich that already contains the central elements of "One winged Angel". Uematsu himself cites "Rites of Spring" as a source. (I still think Uematsu created an amazing piece of music.)

Vagrant Story. It's still one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen.
