God did not put me on this Earth to work. I was born into this world for THREE things: to count ants, make puns, and spout nonsense.
@futurebird @RVLara23 Make ants, spout puns, count nonsense. Got it. š

@futurebird @RVLara23 Worthy endeavors all.

I'm VERY anti "Remote Learning" on snow days. Snow days are magical and young people should play video games and have snowball fights.
Or go sledding.
And pester their parents who are doing remote office work to make hot chocolate.
Hmph.
@futurebird And the parents should have their hot chocolate with a shot of amaretto and/or a few crumbs of hashish dissolved in warm cream.

This is an evidence-based opinion too. Not even a close call on which provides more benefits.

@futurebird I had that thought while shoveling snow. Even when they are expected, they are unexpected; the clock stops, and you donāt come back in until you are more hungry than wet and tired.

@futurebird When I was little, we created an entire snowman village on a snow day - all of the snowmen had names, families, and personal histories.

@futurebird Yeah. A snow day is a snow day. A kid should be playing in the snow instead of having a virtual school day. If that means school lasts until June so be it. We did it. So can they.

@futurebird totally. snow days are magical days

@futurebird It's so ridiculous. If I were a parent in the Year of our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty-Six, I would simply shut the laptop and tell my kid(s) to go play in the snow. "Sorry, they won't be online today, they're 'sick'. Yeah, bad cold, going around. They'll be fine tomorrow."
Everyone needs a break, and no break hits quite like a snow day when you're a li'l nine-year-old. I have so many fond snow day memories. Kids have enough going on. We should let them take a day off to be kids.
@theorangetheme @futurebird p much yeah

@futurebird You hit on exactly why I didn't like snow in the Midwest - I was expected to drive in it, work in it, and never to play in it. And now I miss it and love it...because now where I live everything shuts down and runs around like a kid sledding and such. It's wonderful.

@futurebird I live in a city full of hills with (until recently?) snow. Let kids be projectile kids!

@futurebird There's essentially no such thing as "snow days" where I'm from. It's district policy to keep the schools open as much as possible (unless the weather conditions make it literally impossible for even staff to show up to schools, which never happened during the course of my school career). Parents do have the option to not send their kids to school if they choose to, though I don't recall many parents actually doing that unless they lived very far away from the school or something.

@futurebird I am an educator in Hong Kong and we have online learning on typhoon days.
Not ideal.

@halcy (personally I think Project Gold looks fantastic)
-
@halcy and this flattening isn't necessarily a bad thing. I picked up the term "art directable" from one of the Blender Project Gold videos talking about their amazing digital painting tool. The foundational tech you use or allow in a production has an expressive range where it works best, so, if your expressive range is a procgen digital painting tool like the one Project Gold used, then you can makes something that looks like Project Gold more easily than if you did not have that tool.
-
@halcy that is roughly the idea (really it's a hierarchy of people working together, like any other kind of big team). that is possible at this scale because the tech flattens everything out to make it more "art directable" (to borrow a euphemism from the Blender folks), and that means there's less internal training that has to be done to get everyone approximately on the same page, among other production benefits.
-
@justine eheh enjoy! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it.
-
@wolf480pl yes. But with additional benefits such as working channel binding.
-
@aeva I mean, I Guess, and I know very little about how games are made at scale, but I'd have guessed that there would be someone, or a small amount of people, who are responsible for the vision / vibe / Art Direction, for everyone else to work within, and that that's not a full circle overlap with whoever delivered the engine
-
@daniel do I understand correctly that WebTransport is a next iteration of WebSocket, this time over QUIC?
So this would be the third way to use XMPP in websites, after XMPP over BOSH and XMPP over WebSocket?
-
@aeva @halcy that's one way to see it, but this sounds like an invitation to be different just out of spite, and that's not motivation enough.
what i prefer to think about are principles and deconstruction: why do we render it the way we do? the first thing that always matters to me is readability: does the player get a good sense of the 3d world they are in?
unable to do much more but scale what it has got, AAA even often violates that, to the detriment of fun.
