NB: I have no reasonable argument for why this would be therapeutic, I just think it’d be an interesting read.
Write something fictional about what scares you, but from the point of view of the scary thing.
Scared of spiders? A story about a spider just doing it’s usual before suddenly stumbling upon a godzillesque creature of deafening screams that attacks the protagonist with a shoe.
Scared of rejection? Write a story about someone doing the rejecting, and how conflicting it feels.
Scared of water? A story about a crab who’s sick of hoomans crashing through his ceiling when he’s trying to chill in peace.

It’s a decorative version of the real lemons professionals use to practice their media-face.
7·20 hours agoAs a mod, I usually have some restraint regarding bans, but blatant violations such as CP or spam are basically just down to awareness and reaction.
I mod a few popular communities, and I haven’t seen CP yet. It’s mostly the occasional spam and people who are still incapable of self regulating.

They’re very much 64bit, as they’re avoiding unity all together. The standard framework of actors and scenes don’t really work for a game at that scale, so they decided to roll their own, and they’re calling it the Brutal Framework “because it’s quite brutal to work with”.
So far the result is really impressive looking, and since there aren’t many layers of abstraction to work via, the performance is pretty impressive too.

Yeah, KSP2 was botched on so many levels, primarily by Take2.
Looking forward to seeing what comes out of KSA, though. With many of the old devs and modders of KSP1 on board it looks like they have a good start.
They move in ellipses on earth as well, but it’s cut short by hitting the ground. Also, air resistance affects the trajectory so that anything thrown/shot will eventually return.

2·2 days agoJust got home from holiday a couple of days ago, and while the plan was to open up my laptop and continue my Kerbal Space Program game, it’s simply too hot here these days to enjoy anything for fun. So I mostly just do “nothing” while playing chess.
Looking forward to colder temperatures next week.
Not often, but it happens sometimes, usually early before getting out of bed.
I travel a lot as part of my job, I’ve been to 27 countries, and lived long-term in three of them.
When out and about, upon waking up from my alarm I sometimes have to orient myself and remember where I am and why.
3·2 days agoI’m not gonna hold my breath about this, because “breakthrough in smaller better battery tech” is a recurring headline seen for the better art of 20 years.
… But I am convinced that the next major leap forward when it comes to advancement of practical applications of tech that isn’t stationary is going to involve a breachthrough in regards to battery capacity and size/weight. So as usual I’m curious where this leads.
Once we have something practical for the open market, we’re going to see a lot more portable applications for tech, and I for one am looking forward to it.

I’d mostly keep quiet, but try to position myself in a way that would likely net a significant inheritance at some point.
Other than that, it doesn’t really change much: My genetic origin may be different than what I thought, but my parents never changed.
