Tiktaalik has been fully scanned and the type specimen reconstructed by Tom Stewart (formerly of the lab, now with his own at Penn State.) So many surprises in the skeleton, not the least of which is the pelvic fin, pelvis, and its likely connection to the spine. See the preprint here https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.11.523301v1

It’s a minor miracle that this documentary came together, huge thanks to everyone at Naughty Dog and Area 5 who worked to make it happen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC3C7GMMfDU

'Return of the Obra Dinn' was released on desktops 5 years ago today.

I'm in the weeds with my current game or I'd have prepared something more than a sale to celebrate.

For now, here's (in reply) some unused chapter art that I sensibly replaced to avoid spoilers.

An update on the #Ginkgoales diversity diagram. And also a question; I don't know when to stop when it comes to wanting to show diversity, but I'm going to have to here. How do I know when I've displayed morphological disparaty well enough to be representative and unbiased? #paleobotany #plants

For beginners, non-programmers, and low budget studios, the engine defines the boundaries of what's possible (and plenty of experimentation can happen within those boundaries).
There is no direct interchangeability because so many design choices have been predetermined by the available tools.

Commercial game engines used to present different "risk/reward" trade-offs: Pay a cut of revenue if successful, or pay up-front but keep the revenue.

Unity's new model, whether with install fees or rev share, is a worst-of-both-worlds scenario for professional developers.

I will give Unity this. The pre-show background for the executive apology stream captures the vibe pretty well.

Loud bang, door blasts open, big lumbering oaf stumbles in, trips on the carpet and spills a basket full of cymbals that crash and roll across the floor -- today's Unity3D

Was fortunate to attend the opening of The Last Of Us at Halloween Horror Nights. Lovely getting to meet the cast and peek a bit behind the scenes, amazing & surreal to see moments from the game recreated in detail with real props & sets.
