THING THE SECOND: There's a Real Stink on Early Access These Days
Obviously if you’re an intensely known quantity (Larian + BG3) then sure, you’ll be fine. But we’ve seen comment after comment about GenExile basically to the effect of, “seems neat but I don’t buy anything in Early Access anymore.”

My brother was living back at home after a failed attempt to move to LA. He was sleeping on the nephew’s bunk bed for a while.
One morning they were over and my brother was sleeping in.
The 4 year old walked into his bedroom and asked “Are you a teenager?”
He was 36.

Do my moots know anyone well-versed in the "implicit harassment" tactics of the online right? I have done a lot of research on this, but a 15-minute chat with an expert would be *hugely* helpful for my book.

Updating the "everyone is 12" theorem to add "everyone is 12 and can't read"
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.
Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’
Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

Which is to say, if you do worker-owned stuff or want to do that stuff, you should talk to me/us! I like helping, I'm a sicko who loves meetings, and I think the co-op space's emphasis on helping each other is one of the most valuable challenges it can mount to the current system

A while back I was trying to find how to make rope physics WITHOUT a physics engine.
Was surprisingly difficult to find at the time.
So for anyone searching for the same in future:
You're after "Verlet integration" or "Verlet Rope" ❤️
Great tutorial: toqoz.fyi/game-rope.html
