I say "live in the forest" - I can hear the baby Barred Owl chicks, so yes I mean "live in their bellies." We both know the situation. Which is of course why you're in here driving me NUTS.

I love nature. When it stays the fuck outside.

There is a mouse in my walls chewing on things and it's VERY ANNOYING. Bang the walls and it shuts up for 5 mins. The cats are useless of course. Please little thing - either go away and live in the forest, or hurry up and eat your RFK-recommended dose of asbestos.
I'm considering the pros/cons of doing our skybox as an HDR video. Currently doing the standard raymarched volumetric clouds (via a Unity package) but I am starting to think a video would let us do more interesting things. Anyone know of any games/papers?

This is rather cool, it's an endless procedurally generated museum based on Wikipedia. Nice to wander round, particularly in VR. Spent a good while in the surprisingly vast hall of soup earlier.

New track for my upcoming album with #zxspectrum music covers "Uplink". This track by D-Juice was ahead of its time. #m8tracker https://youtu.be/LiIpnsE4K7Q

Well played.
You should play the game! I played it ages ago, and just did another play through. It's still an amazing aura. And it's just the right size - about 10-15 hours.

Juneteenth - day off work - so to celebrate the freedom of others, I wrote a thing I've been promising to do for a while and never got a Round Tuit. Works great! Time to plan a quick Friday presentation.
Results are in. God you guys are so unhip it's a wonder your bums don't fall off.
