@tambourine i am imagining the Masterworks cover & feeling grateful for what we (you) havePermalink Look on archive.org
-
@musebloom generally, i agree - at least giving people the areas you're going to be talking about. while i try to ask pretty similar questions of each candidate, you do also want to be able to keep it a bit loose & feeling like a conversation, or follow up on areas a candidate hasn't hit.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@musebloom i see the argument about asking people for additional labour preparing - but tbh people are likely to be doing that work prepping anyway, but this way they know what to prep for & don't have to cover anything you might go into.Permalink Look on archive.org

ugh, if it's not enough to have fomo about my regular life (i have covid & am sick of being home), i also have to have gdc fomo as well?Permalink Look on archive.org

my hope with Downpour is to bring the next "rat chaos" into being. but apparently the only way i am capable of doing that is to spend a year plus making something like Twine.Permalink Look on archive.org

this tweet inspired by seeing someone on a (non-games) Discord genuinely & excitedly share Twine as a tool for making interactive stories. like. yeah!!! i agree!! you can make cool stuff with it!Permalink Look on archive.org

@visakanv the flipside that i enjoy is when someone is credited as significant, important, worth writing about, etc. and when you say "what did they do?" the answer is "they threw a lot of dinner parties which the right people came to"Permalink Look on archive.org

second most exciting thing i saw today was this shapePermalink Look on archive.org
-
if you liked the Penrose tiling, you're gonna love this. it's called "the hat", and it's the einstein people have been looking for.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
ok ok, to be less cryptic - you can arrange copies of this shape, and they'll fit together and carry on fitting together forever, without the pattern ever repeating. people had found sets of tiles that could do that before, but it's the first tile that can do that all by itself.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
here's a little interactive viewer to generate the tiling, if you wanna play around with it: cs.uwaterloo.ca/~csk/hat/app.htmlPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@mink_ette genuinely considered flipping the image & making a joke about it looking like a t shirt & not a hatPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@LichenDaemon technically the definition of "repeating" is that the tiling does not have translational symmetry with itself. so, if you had two copies & you slid one around on top, there's only one place they'd line up. but rotational symmetry is allowed.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@LichenDaemon the pattern is self-similar - each area of tiles is one of several types, which fit together in particular ways to form larger areas, which fit together in particular--- etc. which is part of the proof for how it is aperiodic. but the *whole thing* doesn't repeat exactly.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
i also learned that you can calculate tile locations of the Penrose tiling in constant time??? wild. apparently it comes down to them being projections of quasicrystals onto the 2d plane? or something?? shadertoy.com/view/XdtBzHPermalink Look on archive.org

-
@LichenDaemon i don't follow the proof exactly, but it's here in this paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2303.10798 it's to do with the fact that the tiles form 4 different "meta-tiles", which themselves form 4 different "meta-meta-tiles" and so on forever.Permalink Look on archive.org

I was not at GDC & I feel pretty at peace with that fact, but if you would like to have the kind of catching up/meeting for the first time type of chat we might've had, except online... I have some open calendar slots for just that v21.io/blog/lets-chatPermalink Look on archive.org

@TLover229 I read it as "one tweet per 30 minutes per API key". so CBDQ could only run one bot.Permalink Look on archive.org

not played too much of this, but two things this does you might be into: - every puzzle has a new idea (like Stephen's Sausage Roll did) - it has an incredible hint system that more games should steal (a micro level that explains the core insight needed to solve it) @muntedfinger/1641610910191190017Permalink Look on archive.org
