How the World Works

we had this discussion already

the entire Steam forum was full of threads about how bad the state of demo visibility was and how annoying it was that developers were trying to get around that by releasing fake games

the reason demos show up in the new and trending list is that this would not be a solution to the problem people had if they didn't

just like how if games were automatically penalized for having generative AI in them, game developers would be incentivized to lie about whether the game had generative AI in it

Silli :3

gotta cope somehow lol

If you're an EU citizen and you hate DRM and planned obsolescence, here's an easy petition for you to sign:

https://www.stopkillinggames.com/eci

TL;DR: If online-only DRM servers shut down, publishers would be required to keep your game working regardless.

Only targets video games because that is where this practice is by far the most prevalent today, but it would set a precedent that we might soon need for things like phones, cars, and all the other things that are increasingly getting CPUs shoved inside them.

shout out to the Polyphone soundfont (.sf2) editor, it's free and open-source, it runs natively on Linux, but more importantly the interface is lovely, very easy-to-use and well-thought-out. enjoying speedrunning making a soundfont for the first time with this

wake up babe new tarot majors just dropped

What the fuck do you want?

Finally read the Jon Blow "Braid sold like shit" article and

they really pinned the hopes of their entire company on that? On an HD remake of a game already released in the steam era?

Like the hopes of a large studio with employees?

Uh.

the loops that form are very fragile. an open string will eventually break into little Ls. I need a cost function that discourages them from forming

instead of writing rules directly, I now have a cost function (energy) and saying a cell can move somewhere if the total energy (in a local region - up to 2 cells away) does not increase. this is fun because it can create some unexpected behaviour.

here the energy is defined as abs(2-num_neighbours), so having two neighbours is optimal. but they can join into pairs and still move around. the little L-shaped things are technically loops as all the cells have two neighbours, but I want bigger loops.
