For further context, the name of the function was the product of a mistranslation but that doesn't remove its mystique. If anything, I think it adds to it.

There is a function called the Witch of Agnesi. To be clear, the witch isn't its original author, Maria Gaetana Agnesi. The witch is the function itself. It is illustrated below.

I think the idea that mathematical plots being considered bewitched or somehow blasphemous is cool as hell.

The refrain Robbie repeats to the baby felt very much like the last few lines to Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.

Low key panicking because I have the perfect gif response to what someone just said but the conversation is shifting topics while I frantically search for it

I assume step 5 is the food break mid session where folks order bacon cheeseburgers

Major content warning regarding that game tho

Fear and Hunger 2 has some im-sim elements with regards to character interactions and schedules

Hydro in Peru might change though. We use a lot of glacier meltwater from the Andes to power our hydro plants and those glaciers are receding because of global warming :/

Game devs, plz tell me how "pausing the game" works in your game? Is it weird? Is it simple? Is it janky?

I'm curious how such a common feature--the ability to pause and check your settings, etc--actually works & what happens when players hit pause!

It's ok needing to recover, but you might have exhausted the recovery you can get from games. Consider taking incorporating walks through parks into your routine or pick up a book to read, preferably one that engages you.

Nothing quite hits like waking up early to file your taxes for a country you dont live in any more, having to pay 100 of said countries whole ass dollars for the filing service only to be told the IRS wants one (1.00) buck from ya boi.

Mornings to cherish.

Not sure why, but the original tweet was this

perfectionism is so often seen as a permissive ability to create or drive something towards perfection, but in reality, it's a crippling inability to let go of anything imperfect

it's an obsession, it stagnates you, and gets you stuck on things you shouldn't be

While true, green's worldview also contemplates "progress" as passing ephemera. That time as an ocean is far deeper than any visible island of identifiable history, and that the vast sea between those islands is defined by the natural cycle.

I remember how reading The Crucible in school made me viscerally angry. The portrayal of the antagonist's unfalsifiable accusations struck a nerve. I hated the book and having to read the sanctimony and backwards rhetoric. But that taught me to listen for it and, through discomfort, art enriched me.

No past, no future. Only the now. This has been publicly admitted, at least once, though through an appeal to history with 0 evidence to support it. Because evidence requires looking at the past - and there's no time for that.

It absolutely has been at least 70 weeks. I remember I started seeing it happen in droves in late 2023 and early 2024. It hasnt slowed since.

We are so excited to announce that Bait & Tackle won Best in Game Design at RPI GameFest this past weekend! We were also nominated for Best in Show and couldn't be more honored. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to show their support!

My greatest nemesis is opportunity cost

Tunic did this to great effect, making the process feel diegetic even.

Doing what those bozo execs think is impossible, you can buy my 100% AI-free solo-dev game right now. I made all the code, all the art, all the little growls the goblins do when they get big mad.

Looking pretty good!

calvin's dad meme Calvin's Dad: Playing a video game? Let me show you something interesting about final bosses. The two types of final bosses are Final Exam and Victory Lap. All of them fall into these two categories: Asriel Dreemurr? Victory Lap. Sword Saint Isshin? Final Exam. Calvin: Yeah... Calvin's dad: Giygas? Victory Lap. The Boss? Final Exam. Despite being difficult to get through without crying, the Nier Automata credits are a Victory Lap.

A urinal at a bar in peru. On the far end a window shows a perfect view of the ocean and users of the farthestmost urinals have an unbelievable view of the setting sun over the ocean. However, the price to pay is the absolute cheek-to-cheek situation

Is this maybe the wildest possible urinal config?

Absolutely blessed view. Absolutely cursed layout.
