Okay. Seeing as I want to mostly do game creation related activity with my social media (aside from, yknow, my normal cheerily-yet-snarky pun laden replies) I'm moving my account over to: @kaynSD
Masto should automatically redirect all my follows over there, but in case it doesn't, well, this message should at least allow you to manually follow me there :)
PSA for #Unity developers:
CyberAgent has translated their Unity Performance Tuning Bible to English. The book has 300 pages of optimization tips and tricks for Unity. The free PDF book can be downloaded from their GitHub.

Registrations Opening Again
In response to further disenfranchisement of users on Twitter, and the need to have safe platforms for folks to both communicate and have visibility, we will be opening registration applications again for PMG, in a pulsed approach after tonight's update.
We are a small team of folks, and manually review each and every application, so folks should expect to see registrations pause and resume based on volume and moderation availability.

A longstanding open problem asks for an aperiodic monotile, also known as an "einstein": a shape that admits tilings of the plane, but never periodic tilings. We answer this problem for topological disk tiles by exhibiting a continuum of combinatorially equivalent aperiodic polygons. We first show that a representative example, the "hat" polykite, can form clusters called "metatiles", for which substitution rules can be defined. Because the metatiles admit tilings of the plane, so too does the hat. We then prove that generic members of our continuum of polygons are aperiodic, through a new kind of geometric incommensurability argument. Separately, we give a combinatorial, computer-assisted proof that the hat must form hierarchical -- and hence aperiodic -- tilings.
Finally, I finished probably one of my longest projects...
It's been a long 6+ years for this project. It started as a prototype for a shitpost gamejam on twitter, and turned into a bit of a nightmare if I'm honest. Like, I wasn't really happy with the first two updates, they show my huge amounts of inexperience at the
I am BEGGING 'action RPG' developers to remember that a significant percentage of gamers these days are 40+ with life commitments and the reaction times of a potato.
'Challenging Souls-like' is not something that sells to us.
The Silicon Valley elite did a bank run on their own bank, then spent the weekend warning there’d be hell to pay if regulators didn’t step in to cover their deposits.
For Disconnect, I argue this should be a radicalizing moment that shows why we must dismantle Silicon Valley if we ever hope to develop technology that really builds a better world instead of steering us in the opposite direction.
