I like programming. A lot. I also like tech, scifi, fantasy, playing games, reading books, growing trees from seed, sailing, swimming and diving. Happiest under, in or around water

Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 represents a technical milestone for the system - hardware RT (even in handheld mode), DLSS and intelligent, often unnoticeable cutbacks vs Series S. A remarkable release! Check out today's video: youtu.be/XlKCBGzrB1I

Few if any experts know more about the deliberate use of starvation as a war crime than Alex de Waal. If he says it's happening, it's so.

Siegecaster, an active skill-based siege defense game, is available now! This was a personal project created with a small team, and my friends say, "I was playing it to be polite, but then it was four hours later, and I actually liked it!"
Getting the word out is still hard, so all RTs appreciated!

The 'B.' in Benoit B. Mandelbrot stands for "Benoit B. Mandelbrot."
Also fun fact: mandelbrot is the name for a German almond cookie/bread like a biscotti, also in Yiddish as מאַנדלבראָט or 'mandlbrot'.
