More cursed Gorogoa mechanics. This one hurts my brain.
Working on my deterministic simulator for Gorogoa. I just got to the clock tower puzzle, and I never realized how cursed the compass card mechanics are. I'm gonna have to add physics to the simulation just for this one card.
I can't sleep without something filling my head and crowding out my thoughts.
Falling asleep to the soothing sounds of someone infodumping about roller coaster design flaws.
Blender actually has a full-featured video editor these days. It grew out of the Open Movie Project (studio.blender.org/films).
Right now it assumes all moves happen instantaneously, to simplify the algorithm a bit so I can prove the concept. Once I have the whole game modeled and solved for the simpler case, I'll need to go through and time all the interactions, then adapt the algorithm to take time into account.
The game engine is fully data-driven, with interactions modeled in a big YAML file that I wrote out by hand while going through the game. I've modeled through Act 3 for testing so far.
I'm working on a solver to compute a mathematically-proven optimal speedrun for Gorogoa, a card puzzle game. I made a playable text-based simulator to test the minimal game engine I built for it. It's written in Rust and super fast: on my laptop, it can simulate 4.2 million moves/sec per CPU core!

Mine are like this except with "Life is Strange"-style time-rewinding powers inside of levitation. Like you said, doesn't clue me in that it's a dream for whatever reason.
Oh wow, thanks! Yes, I found what I needed, but I appreciate your reaching out!
Google is so broken now. I searched "balena update lock" (looking for info about a balenaOS feature), and by the second page of results I was getting ads for purses, weather forecasts for Montreal, and far-right propaganda.
What can I do about this? ๐๐ข๐ฏ I do anything about this? It's stressing me out ๐ฃ
I get several calls a day from "AgencyCPR" (agencycpr.com, I think?), from different local numbers to evade blocking. If I answer, they hang up immediately, and then I get a call from Allstate trying to sell me auto insurance. I don't have a car. I've told them this, but they won't stop.
Last snap from Denver. The botanic gardens a day after snowfall.

Comment Hi Lumi!!! I have said this many times before but it bears repeating: I am just so incredibly proud of how far you have come in the time since I have met you. It has been an immense priviledge to watch you emerge from your shell and show the world how wonderful you truly are. From all the work you do behind the scenes to being an incredible speedrunner to being a wonderful, supportive friend, you are just so dang powerful Lumi. <3 #lumizumies
Comment Hi Lumi! You're a wonderful friend who's always cheering everyone on, so I wanna give you a big, heartfelt PROUD OF YOU, from me and everyone else whose lives you've made a little better. Go be a diamond in the sky! #lumizumies
I live in a rural area and have a forced-sheltered life with an abusive family, and in 2024, I finally had the courage to join the Fatales server.
In the past year, Iโve finally started to come out of my shell, and got a run in the second event in a row! I also was a Stream Check Coordinator!

Should've saved my $15 and just watched Yuri on Ice again.
Made the mistake of shelling out for a month of Peacock to watch the Winter Olympics. What they don't tell you:
1. paying extra for the ad-free package is a waste of money because it excludes Olympics content
2. replays of figure skating events (what I want to see) vanish forever after 24 hours

A neighbor in our building installed a Ring camera pointed at the building entryway, and now I can't go in or out of my own home without being logged by a corporate mass surveillance system. As far as I can tell, there's no legal recourse because it's a "public space". ๐ฃ

I swear, GitHub just gets worse and worse.
Haha thanks! I took it as an opportunity to learn Svelte and play with CSS animations more.
