my personal atsv hobie brown hc is that this boy can build a watch that enables the wearer to travel to any dimension they want to, made entirely out of cobbled up parts he "finds"

but anytime anyone brings up AI or algorithms or social media he pretends to be 100 years old

hobie: what's a bloody "snapchat"? fuckin 'ell those effects are nightmarish, mate

miles, exasperated: hobie, you BUILD TECH that astrophysicists in my dimension can't even replicate. how are filters on a phone trippin you up?

hobie: dunno, everyone's got their strengths n weaknesses, i 'spose... 🙄😒

man sometimes you gotta make your own gender euphoria by reminding yourself that you're undercover and actually trying to trick people into thinking you're cisgender

Paperwork is so boring sometimes.

I get that the humans want us to feel included but we get the same type of stock every month so it can get repetitive.

we're taking a break from my usual posting so i can show you the goofy images ive created as college assignments for illustrator. my teacher's mistake was letting me have free reign this is how we ended up here (funny enough they still got accepted)

One specific thing I'm looking forward to proving (if I get my first pick for the projects next year) is that the de Rham Cohomology groups are homotopy invariants

hc that the reason ford is so terrible with earth computers despite almost certainly having encountered more recent technology + technology based on current era technology while in the multiverse is that he's gotten way too familiar with alien computers and keeps trying to make normal computers work that way

genuinely if you look at a kid's blatantly traced anime fanart with wiggly lines and too much black shading with the spray tool and feel anything other than pure joy, love, and maybe even a little nostalgia, there is something wrong with you

It continues to trip me up how much human brains are just weird organic computers

POINTS AT YOU

hi

tell me a fact about final light that you're really excited about so far in development. it can be anything

EHEHE HI!!!!

Development-wise, not so much sadly. I'm learning about UI and dialogue systems atm and I'm thinking of reusing an old WIP I had to test it out, learn, and practice, but otherwise not much on the FL project itself. Just a bunch of learning and tutorials. I've been chipping away at 3D models too but my laptop hates blender with a passion.

Future Development-wise, I really really want to see the story tunnels in-game. There's a few areas I can vividly imagine and I really can't wait to realize in a game (the Colony of Fireflies and Bone territories), but I want the story tunnels to answer a few questions the player might have about the world and it's past, since from the entrance to the end it's just full murals of the history of the colonies. I also just want it to look cool y'know.

The Commander's Maw is also high up on the 'I want to see this in-game' since it's a camping/shelter location- when the player finds a shelter to stay at, they'll be able to roam the shelter to craft, talk to their follower, organize inventory, etc. So, they'll be able to sit at the maw's opening and look over the entirety of the world there. The Colony of Clicker's settlement would also be a shelter but since there's protection (clicking ones) you'd be able to roam the entire settlement- I really want to push the idea that this is a thriving community that is actually living rather than just surviving.

Super super small thing-wise but I'm still somewhat excited about? I'm close to getting the full character roster filled out, and completing the goal of having almost every character gotten for free. I just got two new characters with super nice art, which I'm also happy about!! This would mean only Arrow and Frost of Heather wouldn't be entirely free- I got those two in exchange for some art I did for their original owner.

hobbies? you mean like concepts of interest?

Right now I'm going through the process of moving a 1 bedroom apartment interstate in the USA. It's a fairly long move of over 1000 miles. I have far less stuff than what you'd expect for a house, and we are moving our desktop computers in our car vs. in a moving truck.

This is to move to a state where the same money could get us a 2 bedroom apartment vs. a 1 bedroom. I pay more than many people's mortgages every month already, but saving money for an actual house's down payment is impossible where I currently live because of the cost of housing. So we're going someplace cheaper.

But the lowest quote for moving services I could find was still over $4,500. And no, not everybody can learn to drive a U-haul on short notice.

I of course want everyone involved to earn a living wage, duh, but thinking about housing instability in the USA right now is crazy. Homelessness in the USA is at the highest rate it's ever been. Many people who DO have access to housing are living out of 1 room with barely any personal space and barely any time to spend in that space between transportation and multiple jobs. Some may be made to move once a year due to rising rents or short-term leases. They can't afford to have belongings; the mattress in a box industry is booming because so many people must get rid of Everything relatively frequently, and 'a bed' is one of the few things people can't do without.

So it doesn't surprise me that instead of investing $2,000 on a solid desktop computer, that $2,000 will go to a phone instead. It can go in your pocket. Or maybe you're leasing a phone, if you can't afford that kind of investment (it'll cost more than $2,000 over time though!)

I 100% agree that it's harder to build not just digital understanding on a phone, but to create rather than just be an endpoint passive audience for ads. Photo-video content are maybe the only thing phones 'can do better' than a desktop can (because a camera/videocamera are part of the device itself), which explains many current trends in online media. But even that is mostly limited to footage and photos you took yourself. Meaning, it's harder for your phone to replace a shelf of DVDs or music CDs of media you bought and owned; you'll probably be subscribing to Netflix, or using Spotify there rather than storing, editing, sharing any corporate IP content. Goodbye, teenage-craft AMVs made with Windows Movie Maker!

My point is that a world where you can be made to move at any time, and every time you move its an extreme expense for most people, is a world that further discourages having any physical things and dovetails devilishly with a world where you don't have any non-physical things either. Just a portal to 'access' things for different fees: a total landlord-ification. A liquid world is going to destroy not just computer skills, but just about any skills that aren't subsidized by a public education that provides a space, tools, and knowledge to learn without an entry fee. And as government funds for schooling also diminish, those will become out of reach for more people, too.

this can't be true can it

the weird thing about wargames is that so little is explained but when it’s over you’ll be like “wow that was a good movie”
