🐕 Congratulations to @ruskell + team & all the tireless campaigners for seeing this through.

I'm making a dice game, so it's important to make a dice roll animation that *feels* right! I wrote a blog post detailing my process; from ideation, to planning, to implementation using blender, normal maps, 2D lighting, movement logic, and more!

You where all thinking it. And the answer is 'yes!'. Yes you can totally LASER engrave a banana to exfiltrate data from your secured premises. Just out of the machine the text is barely noticable. But the next morning? Clear as day.

Ran into an odd MSVC compiler bug today: a missing parenthesis in a specific place, in a large source file, leads compiler into allocating all my RAM, which eventually led my computer to crash. I can reproduce it reliably.
If I uncomment the extra opening brace it reports error normally.

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.

Daphne was unimpressed, even a bit dismissive of the giant onion. I don't think she appreciates me using her head as a comparison for scale.
