“Applied Mathematics”: this recent one from the excellent SMBC genuinely made me laugh out loud!
The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery
Hahaha, so John Gruber, top US Apple pundit, is now saying that the DMA would “turn the EU into more of a technological backwater than it already is” 🤣
Some Notes on Numenera
Numenera is a science-fantasy game set in the far, far, far distant future, with some lightweight and somewhat original system, all written by Monte Cook.
On paper, it ticked a lot of boxes for stuff I’m interested in, so I brought it to my Friday group a few years ago. We played a dozen sessions or so and… well, we weren’t much into it and dropped it for something else. Still, there are a few cool things to take away from Numenera! Here are my notes!
Disclaimer: we played Numenera several years ago, using the game’s first edition. Since then Monte Cook published a new edition, called Numenera Discovery and Destiny. I have no idea what changed in that second edition.
I enjoyed this history of the Dungeon Keeper franchise by Reliable Rhubarb. I was a big fan of the first game and I got all nostalgic seeing it again!
Do you need a good fluffy boy in your timeline? Of course you need a good fluffy boy in your timeline! Here’s one!
Hello everyone! It’s a nice brisk and frosty morning here. The good fluffy boy is complaining that the sticks are too cold to pick up 😄
Oh wow, sad news this morning. RIP David Lynch. I still have fond memories of watching the first season of Twin Peaks on several-times-copied VHS tapes in high school, and sharing theories with all my friends…
My other birthday gift this year was this “Overlook Hotel” tea mug. Look what happens when you pour tea in it.
Later today I will be on an Inside Unreal live stream, tagging along members of the #UE5 animation team. They will show some cool new 5.5 animation stuff, and I will be showing a little bit of the new camera system!
“Stephen Harper on Poilievre, Trump and ‘Far Left’ Liberals”: more evidence that the Conservative party is the worst. At least Harper is an asshole with ideas. Poilievre is an asshole whose one line is “oppose whatever the Liberals do”.
