visited some monument or whatever on vacation and all I got was this stupid postcard

Soft-launching Clatter, a C# physics-driven audio synthesis library I made for work at MIT that probably has a lot of #gamedev #unity3d potential.

Given the physical properties of two objects and collision metadata, Clatter will generate a sound.

I didn't write the algorithm. The original version of this project was academic Python code, and I turned it into a dll that anyone can use.

I have to talk about how good Nimona was. I know a bunch of you have seen it and know what I'm talking about.

This movie deserved a theatrical release, and from what I've read Disney could have had it but passed, at least in part because of it's openly queer themes and moral allegory.

There are no weak spots, the animation, dialogue and voice acting are all excellent. Lots of humor, lots of heart.

Along with Across the Spiderverse, this is easily the best animated film I've seen this year.

man why is my computer so slow?
I'm just emulating a super nintendo at 2000% speed, processing several gigabytes of games every minute, and virtualizing an entire other PC, while playing fullscreen video. barely anything!

I'm barely able to get anything done.

clearly the solution is to open another emulator and work on yet another thing simultaneously

"I won't attend your event due to the lack of Covid protections."
-Sensible and reasonable but boring.

"A vow of solitude for the duration of the plague prevents my presence. Your careless congregations tempt fate and threatens the wellbeing of our bloodlines. My duty is to health and reason."
-Mysterious, heroic and epic.

"Developing a BASIC interpreter on the system was difficult, because the display alone used up almost all the available RAM. The solution to this problem was to store the BASIC program code in the video RAM."

hot trans girl shit. jamie fenton is a queen

Amazingly, I made this several years ago

once again i feel this image spiritually

A new study shows a whopping 87% of games released prior to 2010 are no longer available for sale or download by any means other than the second-hand market and archival/"piracy": http://gamehistory.org/87percent/

Proof if you ever needed it that the community is doing the work that corporate interests won't do to preserve gaming history and the slice of culture it represents.

We are living in an age when it is so astonishingly cheap to keep copies of things around and yet the perverse incentives exist for companies to memory-hole anything that doesn't perform well or that might compete with newer offerings.

IMO, in the big picture this is what legislation is for, correcting a horrible tendency that the market will have if left to its own devices, and there should absolutely be legislation protecting archivists of content that's no longer available for sale, or even requiring that content creation companies keep content available in SOME form. Until then, we depend on each other to do this.

This means nothing to you. You are not an imp, you have no idea what an imp is, and you will not entertain such frivolous and childish ideas ever again. You feel stupid and hate yourself a little for even considering it.

watching this great video essay about tears of the kingdom. dude pauses while talking about the story to ask for someone to comment if "secret stones" is a direct translation of the word used in japanese, which is something i've wondered myself so of course i checked the comments and, man,
