Donnie Darko is an upside down version of “it’s a wonderful life”

It’s the American dream. What is the quote? We’re all embarrassed potential millionaires?

Acerola - I tried simulating the entire ocean

I really enjoy listening to this guy, he really explains the details about graphics in an easily accessible way.

Can you make that graph look more like pacman?

What we are seeing is the sunlight going through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell’s_window and it looks amazing.

For Karl!

Or that we are all refugees and are just tired of enshitification.

I thought ‘Children of the mind’ was good, could have been merged with Xenocide.

Whatever you do, stay away from ‘The Last Shadow’. What a terrible way to finish a series.

'I be crazy too, little buddy, but at least when I be craziest, I be floating all alone in space and the crazy, she float out of me, she soak into the walls, and she don’t come out till there be battles and little boys bump into the walls and squish out de crazy.’

Man, Star Control 2 was my favorite game to introduce friends to during the BBS days. Two player melee over a shared keyboard! The music in SC2 was top notch MOD/XM music back when trackers were starting to form a genre.

Everyone says ‘listen’ but I would suggest one way to act on that advice. This is more of a general parenting advice for small kids (or all kids?).

Let them choose what to do. If their interested in soccer, give that a try. If they want to learn about ants, let them observe, guide them through the thoughts.

Play is dictated by their interests, not your expectations or dreams. This way there is much less struggle, save for the times you really need, and learning and play get tied together.
