"valve deserves 30% because they have a huge userbase that they use to give visibility to your game"
then why is my itch revenue that i pushed via my own social media accounts for november twice my steam net for the month

"well then make a better game"
mfer my game won awards. it's overwhelmingly positive reviews. it launched with tens of thousands of wishlists. what do you meeaaaaan make a better game

anyway get all four of my games on itch for 20 bucks (including the award winning smb3-like with lesbians) https://itch.io/s/169922/kitsune-games-bundle

@eniko I recall being absolutely flabbergasted by someone purporting to be involved in AA game production insisting that Steam deserves that 30% cut on the sole basis of handling distribution since they had just lost a similar argument about them deserving it based on promoting games.
It doesn't matter what scale your game is operating at, you can handle distribution for far less than 30% of your revenue. -

@davew Nitpicky, but this is more of a daydream, an admittedly very attractive one.

TARS-Like Robot Both Rolls, and Walks
[Aditya Sripada] and [Abhishek Warrier]’s TARS3D robot came from asking what it would take to make a robot with the capabilities of TARS, the robotic character from Interstellar. We couldn’t find a repository of CAD files or code but the research paper for TARS3D explains the principles, which should be enough to inspire a motivated hacker.
What makes TARS so intriguing is the simple-looking structure combined with distinct and effective gaits. TARS is not a biologically-inspired design, yet it can walk and perform a high-speed roll. Making real-world version required not only some inspired mechanical design, but also clever software with machine learning.
[Aditya] and [Abhishek] created TARS3D as a proof of concept not only of how such locomotion can be made to work, but also as a way to demonstrate that unconventional body and limb designs (many of which are sci-fi inspired) can permit gaits that are as effective as they are unusual.
TARS3D is made up of four side-by-side columns that can rotate around a shared central ‘hip’ joint as well as shift in length. In the movie, TARS is notably flat-footed but [Aditya] found that this was unsuitable for rolling, so TARS3D has curved foot plates.
The rolling gait is pretty sensitive to terrain variations, but the walking gait proved to be quite robust. All in all it’s a pretty interesting platform that does more than just show a TARS-like dual gait robot can be made to actually work. It also demonstrates the value of reinforcement learning for robot gaits.
A brief video is below in which you can see the bipedal walk in action. Not that long ago, walking robots were a real challenge but with the tools available nowadays, even a robot running a 5k isn’t crazy.

Idea for a SNL skit. Trump, played by Alec Baldwin, sits behind the desk in the Oval Office. Aides around him. He cracks self-deprecating jokes. Praises Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Calls Melania and tells her he loves her. Fires his children. Signs resignation letter.

@aud worst version: you are responsible for the mistakes you haven't made yet

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place I studied science explicitly so I wouldn't have to be held responsible for my mistakes

@aud you were always destined to have some lingering doubt over whether or not you could have or could not have done anything different in a moment where only one thing ever happened
