🎬 NEW VIDEO 🎬

Still on the Tees Valley Line, I'm exploring the Locomotion museum at Shildon, get to take a look at the Inspiration train and then find myself at the world's oldest station!

Oh, and we see some familiar faces!

Mixed reality (devices that can do either VR or AR by means of pass-through) are just a step-stone until smart devices can be boilt down to a glasses form factor.
VR or large screens with artificial locomotion will always cause nausea for some, but that's comparable to gaming devices. 2/2

I could totally be a test subject for these people 🤣. I am very prone to motion sickness in boats, cars, etc. In VR, games like Beat Saber, Pistol Whip are fine. Games with teleport are mostly fine. If I have to use smooth locomotion I can get really sick very quickly. No teleport = No purchase.

I've cleaned up the animations for the basic locomotion
which mean now I need to jump into the hell of plotting out, animating and setting up the attack animations
please god help me

I find that werewolves are best when they can use bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion, so as a result must have long forearms/legs. Being able to speak is also optional as, well, they're explicitly monsters.

Anthro wolves can have a standard human body configuration and talk, but have a wolf's head.

Biologically-constrained insect models enable realistic simulations and improve biomechanical predictions of locomotion bioRxivpreprint
Biologically-constrained insect models enable realistic simulations and improve biomechanical predictions of locomotion
Animal locomotion emerges from the complex interplay of morphology, neural control, and biomechanics, involving both active and passive elements. Insect have attracted much interest, and a rich ecosystem of computational models exists for insect locomotion. However, while active control mechanisms have been extensively studied, obtaining accurate and useful models remains challenging due to limited understanding of how detailed anatomical constraints and passive biomechanical properties shape movement. To address this, we developed anatomically accurate 3D models of the adult desert locust and mole cricket, two orthopteran insects that share a basic body plan but exhibit strikingly different morphologies linked to their habitats and specialized locomotor behaviors --- jumping in locusts versus subterranean digging in mole crickets. We fine-tuned these models using precise morphometric measurements for each major body segment. Furthermore, we quantified passive joint dynamics through high-speed videography of anesthetized locust, revealing a two-phase return motion and history-dependent resting angles. By integrating these biologically grounded constraints into physical simulations, we significantly narrowed the parameter space, resulting in more realistic simulations. Our approach provides new tools for predicting biologically relevant, yet experimentally challenging variables, such as joint torques and contact forces, which contribute directly to the understanding of the underlying biological phenomena. Moreover, these improved simulations offer valuable insight for designing energy-efficient soft robotic systems.

There's this old saying that "if you see a train wreck don't intervene. Just watch." While good advice, I agree it's important to help make this the bigliest train wreck in the history of locomotion.
made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
