			Morning! We're thinking about events to show Fabulous Beasts at in the next month. Do you know of any we don't?
- 
		
			@whitingjp @jawsew I keep being afraid I've done that. Pretty sure I'm 28 rn, though.
- 
		
			@JamesACoote will have a poke, thanks!
- 
		
			RT @Mikey_Nicholson: It's early days but this may be the story of 2016.
- 
		
			@mousefountain i live on the other side of the city from the town i grew up in which means i can still go to those people's birthday parties
- 
		
			@alexhern wasn't this the origin story of OkCupid, too? Not quite as direct a bait-and-switch, but SparkNotes was their initial pool.
- 
		
			@pozorvlak very little of the revelations of the security agencies workings has been surprising - but confirmed & on the record is news
- 
		
			I'm gonna be at London Indies tonight with a Fabulous Beasts set if anyone wants to play.

			@benswinden emoji is the vector by which unicode spreads

			@benswinden no: i love emoji 🎺

			@Cyarron ironically they also don't like people who make the masks they wear obvious

			@caraellison the writer will do something, scarfmemory, quite possibly HIGH END CUSTOMIZABLE SAUNA EXPERIENCE but i'd have to check
- 
		
			@caraellison oh! the works of @Citrushistrix. definitely. either of those. or bret.itch.io/library-fantasy or Bell Park, Youth Detective

			Bad news: Wild Rumpus isn't organizing a GDC party this year Good news: Brandon has teamed up with Juegos instead. that.party
- 
		
			I am really happy to go to a cool party and drink and not organize the cool party.
- 
		
			@KommanderKlobb Like I'd ever go to a party without a few USB hubs tucked away somewhere.

			@caraellison the brilliant BIRDLAND is almost explicitly Young Adult.

			Missed the bus so I went to the shop and missed the bus again.
- 
		
			What's something I could do while waiting that would take about a minute longer than the bus will take to arrive?
- 
		
			@WordMercenary no, I did it sloppily, and then before I could fix it, Twitter removed the ability to upload transparent avatars.
- 
		
			@WordMercenary it can never be mended.
- 
		
			@WordMercenary nah, after the first few years, I've gotten pretty zen about it
- 
		
			@IneffectiveMath too late, I caught the bus

			@Cyarron @caraellison there's a forest of maybes, but if you email me in a year's time about this, i will be excited.

			We're project of the day on Kickstarter! Lookit: kickstarter.com

			I use these emoji hopefully: 💰💸🤑💷
- 
		
			@spacefinner comin' later today! but we're only about half way, yet, so the actual stretch goals are still some ways off
- 
		
			@clarered i don't know either, but it can't hurt. about a third of our backers so far have come through KS, which gives some indication.

			what's your favourite food that's a mainly a delivery mechanism for other food?
- 
		
			@Thairyn i was thinking about this, but then actually i really love bread and butter. really love it. and that's like... 50% about the bread
- 
		
			@Gib i think it counts!
- 
		
			RT @Radstronomical: @v21 Sorry, I should have used the proper terminology. The Fun Dip Lik∙A∙Stix is what I meant of course
- 
		
			@nikkipugh ouch, yeah, i can imagine.

			@WordMercenary it's nice how "pasta sauce" can just mean "lots of melted cheese"

			just discovered my server has a 32bit userland on a 64bit kernel and i really wish i didn't know or care about what that means
- 
		
			(it means nvm gets it wrong, which means it's hard to install new node version, which means no phantomjs2, which means CBDQ SVGs are fussy)
- 
		
			@oskar_lq it's been fun
- 
		
			@BanditoJuan @fastramdesign @jabelsjabels I think that's my pick, too. So literally nothing alone, so much good food enabled.
- 
		
			@legobutts hey
- 
		
			CBDQ SVG support has just gotten better: moved to phantomjs2, so more things will render, and when they fail they print an error message.
- 
		
			@legobutts YES
- 
		
			@deer_ful i fixed up CBDQ! it now shows you errors inline if your SVG is not quite valid.
- 
		
			@deer_ful (and tested it on @GraphicScoreBot's corpus - it pointed me at the errors, I fixed them, it worked \o/)
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate ping ^^ . I was just able to fix up @TinyAdv to work in about 5 minutes.

			wait, fuck, that.party sold out already?
- 
		
			I have complicated feelings about being on the waitlist for that.party. I always found watching tickets sell out terrifying?
- 
		
			@hell0jed I can understand that.

- 
		
			just watched that Unreal VR vid (lorenschmidt.itch.io/dungeon-decorator), and suddenly i have THOUGHTS about VR editor design. okay:
- 
		
			first off : floating gizmos attached to your hands? grabbing with laser pointers? why not make things much more physical?
- 
		
			@jonbro ahhhhh, that is beautiful.
- 
		
			hahaha okay, link is actually here: youtube.com/watch?v=JKO9fEjNiio. but yeah, click the other link instead @jonbro
- 
		
			you don't need grid alignment, move-along-x-axis. just grab and move. and maybe optional gravity instead of floor snapping.
- 
		
			mainly, though: why is it at that scale? why isn't it a dinky little tabletop scene, with a "warp here and look about" tool?
- 
		
			the sensors are accurate enough and your arms won't get so tired. you can have the overview, eye up alignments etc much easier.
- 
		
			and you can make the tools exist in the space, make them discoverable. a scale wand, a grab wand, a texture wand, a spawn wand.
- 
		
			(shortcuts on the controllers, too - but an endless drawer full of models would be nicer than a virtual iPad of rendered previews)
- 
		
			i totally know why you'd do it this way first, and can feel the pain of hacking in VR to a unwieldy beast like Unreal. but in the future...
- 
		
			@polclarissou ohh, that sounds like rad arguments to be having. my experience is too limited.
- 
		
			@dreamfeelx whaaaa...! excited for that to be so soon, then! thanks! ks is okay, i think we'll get there. if you want advice, hmu!
- 
		
			@dreamfeelx and that would be rad. i want to do more weekend trips this year. will start scheming!
- 
		
			@timoni aye, i can see that - i think especially it was the using lasers to translate/two handed grab that seemed unwieldy.
- 
		
			@timoni but that's also necessary if you're person-sized and designing room-sized stuff.
- 
		
			@BanditoJuan that sounds a bit tricky, yeah. i'm okay with palettes generally, but the radial menu & model selector seemed transplanted.
- 
		
			@jonbro i have not! yeah, i bet it does (i am pretty sure some of these ideas are ripped from articles about it)
- 
		
			@vectorpoem ah! that sounds better (though pinch-zoom rescaling sounds potentially nauseating?)
- 
		
			nice article on UX for VR - things people trip up on: medium.com/@timoni/ux-pointers-for-vr-design-dd52b718e19#.k34o5gwd6

			@helvetica i'm using linode, but i would not recommend them these days
- 
		
			@martinhollis @jonbro sorry! the original link was to @lorenschmidt's dungeon editor, not the vid. dungeon editor is better.
- 
		
			that said, some of the capabilities are potential security holes on my server. hm hm.
- 
		
			@timoni i guess... i think i'd be fine with just really fast switching. i assume jump cuts feel better in VR than overlays?

			adding Another Thing To Think About When Making A CBDQ Bot. I think this feature is worth it, though.
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate this feature directly came out of our conversation, clearly. default on for new bots, too.
- 
		
			First non-me example of it being used: the patriotic @MakeUSABotAgain cheapbotsdonequick.com/source/MakeUSABotAgain
- 
		
			@deer_ful nahh, bug reports very much welcome! looking into it now
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate yeah - wondering if i should set up a forum, too...
- 
		
			@20hz20khz try adding a width and height attribute to the <svg> element
- 
		
			@20hz20khz adding an error message for that is on the list
- 
		
			@deer_ful okay, should be fixed now!
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate mainly wondering about moderation & having a critical mass of users (to survive me getting busy and going away fro a bit)
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate yeah, but the community is fragmented, and it's hard to pass on techniques via scattered tweets...
- 
		
			@jonbro yep! that needs sorting out, really. (the npm package tracery-grammar tracks tracery2, for ref)
- 
		
			@jonbro though actually, most of those don't use tracery2 features... maybe TinyAdv does
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate i am hoping that making the source default-public means tricks and structure get passed on among ambitious users.
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate like... some people comment their source? and break it down by sections.
- 
		
			@jonbro yeah, and it ~~should~~ match up to server side rendering (now using phantomjs2 and validating the SVG in editor)
- 
		
			@Johnicholas they put in dummy entries so it was still valid JSON
- 
		
			@mrfb yeah, i did think about that
- 
		
			@mrfb it's probably a good idea? kinda want to make a forum/wiki somewhere for people to chat technique and show off their bots, too.

			@mrgnptts oh my god, this is amazing

- 
		
			@lorenschmidt and use the history API to push the map state to the URL on changes
- 
		
			@lorenschmidt I did it with v21.io/games/assembly/ (think the relevant source is embedded in the Flash, though)

			Does anyone know how to get a Google Analytics event when someone clicks on a FB Share button within a page?
- 
		
			@radiodario the button is a tiny iframe which creates a new window via JS...
- 
		
			@radiodario there's an API hook for the event where someone clicks a like button, but not a share button
- 
		
			@radiodario no, the button is a iframe itself (injected into a div by FB's JS). It eats the events, and I think SOP stops me from messin.
- 
		
			@radiodario however! It looks like I could check whether we're in the iframe in a setInterval? stackoverflow.com/questions/3690812/capture-click-on-div-surrounding-an-iframe

- 
		
			@bekokstover you've got nothing projected on the floor! eg Sounddodger Live
- 
		
			@bekokstover yes, i imagined that was the reason. still worth poking at, easier to find ways to show individual works than categories.
- 
		
			@bekokstover @PerfectPlum was telling me some of her students had done something interesting with scent..?
- 
		
			currently going on ... 2 days for putting off doing a simple task, but constantly being just about to
- 
		
			@pozorvlak I have! I was doing it this whole time. I think I did it fairly well.
- 
		
			@KommanderKlobb @TomNullpointer @Dick_Hogg pulpy, but also a more relevant dystopia than most that are talked about: The Space Merchants.
- 
		
			@hoskingc huh! that sounds cool. i should try that out
- 
		
			RT @Chati: quick let's figure out consciousness before the machines do
- 
		
			@radiodario did you see last night's work? @manygradients (source at cheapbotsdonequick.com/source/manygradients)
- 
		
			@KommanderKlobb not with CBDQ!
- 
		
			@KommanderKlobb i can't even do math in this environment. I'm generating random numbers by concatenating strings. It's great :)
- 
		
			@radiodario from some perspectives, i totally agree. from others, i really don't. here's the source for this WIP cheapbotsdonequick.com/source/vtwentyoneland1
- 
		
			@radiodario yeah - @TinyAdv was really charming with this
- 
		
			@radiodario luckily you can specify points relatively! for other stuff, you prob gotta start getting tricky with nested transforms.
- 
		
			@pixelfootgames @worsethantuvix hahaha! <3
- 
		
			@adrielbeaver @QueerkusBot that's great!
- 
		
			@adrielbeaver @QueerkusBot (also you can do new lines with "\n" if you wanted)
- 
		
			@adrielbeaver @QueerkusBot oh, that makes sense. Yeah, you never know quite how it feels til you've seen it live some.
- 
		
			@adrielbeaver @QueerkusBot sure - just repeat stuff (or hide stuff behind sub-options)
- 
		
			@adrielbeaver @QueerkusBot so "a":["b","c","x"], "x":["d","e"] d and e are less likely than b and c
- 
		
			@adrielbeaver @QueerkusBot sorry, should be @adrielbeaver @QueerkusBot so "a":["b","c","#x#"], "x":["d","e"]
- 
		
			@king_spooner sure - but sometimes you've got to be mercenary. And sometimes you've got interesting things to say best said via your game.
- 
		
			@king_spooner like, Meg Jayanth talking about decolonial narrative within 80 Days - sounds great, sign me up.
- 
		
			@vivschwarz haha, I have been having the opposite realisation. And slowly getting used to no pockets or bad ones.
- 
		
			@vivschwarz I am in skinny black jeans all of the time, so my delight is basically about the amount of elastic in women's jeans.

			Thinking of Twitter as a cyborg superstructure inhabited by other cyborgs of various compositions.

			@godtributes hello cyborg friend
- 
		
			@vivschwarz yeah, forreal
- 
		
			A thing I like about the bot community is the way they're actively engaged in questions of ethics and intent as a primary consideration.
- 
		
			kinda tempted to try to make my bot curation tweets into a zine this afternoon. but if i succeed, i might have to like, do shipping & stuff
- 
		
			maybe i'll make some more SVG bots instead...
- 
		
			but first! let's go find some money, and then exchange it for jollof rice, stew and maybe some flowers.
- 
		
			wait, why am i making decisions for myself like a sucker?
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate yeah, but your paper is a funny size

			RT @ishisoft: Testing out the interactions between various Leilani's Island enemy/object types...

- 
		
			@legobutts oh shit, those nails!
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate have you seen this? @bfod/703622019498246144
- 
		
			RT @lorenschmidt: for the past three months i've been generating cross stitch patterns and hand-embroidering them
- 
		
			@lorenschmidt feature request for DD: can the first non-solid tile placed also place the little man?
- 
		
			@lorenschmidt yeah, i maybe like that even better - always good to start with examples.
- 
		
			@lorenschmidt the example text in CBDQ sometimes survives in structure into people's creations, but the second thing you make loses it.
- 
		
			@lorenschmidt i mean, it will. but that's okay, this isn't a all-powerful agnostic tool. it's for making the things it's good at making.
- 
		
			@KommanderKlobb fg gradient is only at 20% opacity. want to do multiple layers, with fancy stuff on the clipping.
- 
		
			@artcollisions they got too fussy, i think... might add variants for how much detail there is.
- 
		
			@benbrignell yep - current source is at cheapbotsdonequick.com/source/vtwentyoneland1
- 
		
			@lorenschmidt light inside a box of mirrors
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate tracery. random number trickery with defining a path & curves along it, basically. current source at cheapbotsdonequick.com/source/vtwentyoneland1
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate yeah - it's a random walk, though, so obviously only so much control over it
- 
		
			@rainshapes ah, thanks! great to hear - hit the point where i'm questioning my approaches.
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate i didn't even know you could push an array or rules... but it seems confusing to me because it's several layers down
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate it effectively makes "," a special character everywhere (that you might later variable-ize)
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate i guess late-resolution of symbols would be good - but i would make that have to be declared in the same level as the symbol
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate ie [symb:thingy,thingy2,thingy3], where thingy{,2,3} are just treated as text (even then the syntax makes me unhappy)
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate hm! late resolution is something i did explicitly want previously... hm hm hm!
- 
		
			@pippinbarr oh, interesting. i played on a computer and only half of the time did i throw everything about
- 
		
			@deer_ful @GalaxyKate please do!
- 
		
			@notquitereal i'm not done yet! i reckon i can get the colours even better.
- 
		
			@notquitereal (or, rather: so all of them are good, not just every other one, as here)
- 
		
			@GalaxyKate actually... i think i'd prefer if late resolution was a property of a symbol expansion, not a symbol definition.
-

			RT @paulrickards: Sierpinski curve with a slight amount of random error gives it a new textural, fabric-like quality #plottertwitter https:…
- 
		
			@ThatRaincoat i prefer the colour blending in the muted ones... and a better % look good. THAT SAID, I think it'll be a mix, in the end.
- 
		
			@whatisian it's a shame the blur only renders serverside, so i have to wait 10 minutes after tweaking each time
- 
		
			@ThatRaincoat well, it's being developed as a Twitterbot. But maybe it'll be a series of books with a print run of 1.
- 
		
			note to self: investigate variating line detail, adding a frame, huge blur radiuses for other forms
- 
		
			@sheilamu oh, yes, that's very true

			new bot: @softlandscapes
- 
		
			@jhoffstein thaaanks! i think i'm done now... it's been a whole thing.
- 
		
			oh, i should say: now i'm done testing @softlandscapes, it's switched over to every 6 hours. there's some WIP detritus in it's history...
- 
		
			@hollygramazio i finished it: @softlandscapes
- 
		
			oh, and finally: the source for @softlandscapes is up at cheapbotsdonequick.com/source/softlandscapes. only once do i pick colours not just entirely randomly.
- 
		
			@hellocatfood oh, yes, actually i should talk to you about a thing with the bot thing thing
- 
		
			@ADAMATOMIC i really wish i was reminded of mcsweeneys.net/articles/an-interactive-guide-to-ambiguous-grammar less often
- 
		
			@KommanderKlobb cheapbotsdonequick.com/source/manygradients might be a useful stepping-stone to understanding that code
