Wave Simulation with Caustics

Another fun project I’ve worked on. Its a ripple simulation that I’ve been using for VRChat for quite a while now. It uses an old algorithm (that honestly, I dont fully understand myself) combined with a subdivided mesh that gets displaced and colored based on refraction from the ripples and polygon density. It’s not a super practical effect, and uses a camera feedback loop since at the time of creating the shader for the wave simulation, I didn’t have access to scripting or custom render textures. Good ol’ VRChat hackiness!

When swimming through water, the snake leaves traces in the form of wavy circles, which exactly correspond to the dynamics of the shape of prime numbers.

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive factors other than 1 and itself. Prime numbers are specific numbers.

Don Zagier, a distinguished expert, said: “Looking at these figures, one feels the presence of one of the inexplicable mysteries of creation.

The images you see here are created using circles with diameters of successive primes, superimposed on each other and repeated from a common source. For each natural number "n" we draw a periodic curve from the origin intersecting the "x" axis in "n" and its multiples. Prime numbers are those that are intersected by just two curves: the prime number itself and one.

This is a simple method of constructing prime numbers using geometry.

This was my Perverts listening set up

[raddest-laddest]

trying to play the dlc now, but i’m having such a hard time getting into it ::’)

it could be cus the base game was so satisfying, and cus im still pretty early into it, but so far there’s like, no friends. no signals. no translations. and it’s hard to find any leads.

i’ve found a couple slide reels, i found a Bone Cellar (as i’m calling it), some strange room by the reservoir that’s apparently tracking the supernova… i found a vault? i want to see if i can open it soon, but it’s all just leading me in circles rn. double and triple checking places i’ve already been, searching for anything that can take me anywhere, until the dam breaks and sweeps me away… and so far i feel like that’s all there is. i know it isn’t but yk…

and it’s so hard that there’s no individuals here. no names, just the owlk as a whole and their stranger… it especially sucks cus that was my favorite part about the nomai. i got to read their conversations, learn their dynamics, their passions and motivations, what moved them forward, what broke them down… but here, so far, there’s not that much, and i’m finding it hard to care.

i’ll keep going cus i’ve heard great things, but just know where i am rn, i m a’ s t r u g g l i n’

How CO2 Gets Into the Ocean

Our oceans absorb large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Liquid water is quite good at dissolving carbon dioxide gas, which is why we have seltzer, beer, sodas, and other carbonated drinks. The larger the surface area between the atmosphere and the ocean, the more quickly carbon dioxide gets dissolved.  (Video and image credit: S. Pirozzoli et al.) Read the full article

In the Sandman, since Dream 'came into existence once lifeforms capable of dreaming appeared in the universe', I wonder what that lifeform is and what did it dream of. Like what is the first dream in the universe about.

I love these details so much, this and back during the whisper event she'd kick your ass if you were playing as an android

[heeyspacecadet]

Babes I appreciate the freak out and feeling proud or whatever but hoyo puts wonderful foreshadows into their worlds and stories ALWAYS and esp w amphoreus imo in 3.2 and 3.3 they were making it Very very obvious what the nature of the world is because a) this is a parallel to their wonderful hi3 arc Elysian realm and b) Phainon is their golden boy Kevin’s expy like that company will kill all the players then themselves if even a single soul refused to comprehend Amphoreus as a whole. So like congrats but also u didn’t do shit LOL

Another five games I played recently on Steam, rated entirely by if they involve fishing and/or trains.

First of all, Core Keeper actually had two updates since I gave it its score. Neither of them involved a substantial amount of fishing or trains though, so it doesn't change anything. Besides, it already had a 5/5 for fishing and it's hard to see that going down.

Previous entries: Here and Here

SABLE

This game takes place entirely in a desert, with very little water on the map. And yet, it still has a fishing mechanic. There is no excuse for any game not to incorporate some kind of fishing now, especially not in this genre.

You can even decide to make Sable spend her life as an Angler by choosing the Angler mask at the end of the game, so it's big on the fishing. Unfortunately, the fishing mechanic was added after the game's release so it does feel a little tacked on. There only, like, three characters in the game who even acknowledge fishing. 4/5, but 5/5 if you go for the Angler route at the end.

No trains at all. Hoverbikes are pretty cool, but they're not on rails. Some kind of hover train would be neat though. 0/5

THE ENCHANTED CAVE 2

No fishing. Not even a fish-like enemy for a token point. 0/5

No trains either. Not even a train-like enemy for a token point. 0/5

MR. RABBIT MAGIC SHOW

You'd think a game about the Rusty Lake Mental Health and Fishing facility would have some fishing involved somewhere, but alas. The whole game takes place in two locations, one being a theatre stage and one being an office. 1/5 because there is at least the mention of fishing. You do also get a fish at one point, you just don't have to fish for it.

No trains in this one. Again, it's a theatre stage and an office, there's not much call for a railroad between those two places. 0/5

POWERWASH SIMULATOR

OK, so this one is kinda tricky. You don't actually fish in the game, and as far as I recall no actual fish appear. BUT, and this is important, there is the regular mention of fishing throughout multiple levels. Heck, one of the stages even involves you clean an aquarium. It's just that all the tanks are empty, for cleaning. Duh. Same with the fishing boat, it exists but it's not actively fishing because you're cleaning it. That would be counter-productive.

So my score would be about 2/5, if it weren't for the Spongebob Squarepants DLC. Should that raise the score, because there are more fish involved, or lower the score because you yourself play as a fish? That's a complex ethical conundrum. ?/5

Holy mother of- there are trains in this game! You can't ride them though because, again, you're supposed to be cleaning them. It sucks that none of them are in the main campaign mode, but you do get to clean a subway station in that, and there's a full-on classic steam locomotive in the extra maps. The Back to the Future DLC adds the BttF3 time train too. 3/5.

GAS STATION SIMULATOR

Yeah I played two simulator games recently, what of it? Anyway, despite customers occasionally leaving fish lying around the station, Gas Station Simulator does not involve fishing in the regular game. The Tidal Wave DLC kinda does, in that you have to shoot a shark with a cannon are various moments (Gas Station Simulator is not a fully accurate depiction of an American Gas Station. I assume, I've never been to the USA.)

So maybe that would be some points, except when you do find a fish in the base game you actually get an achievement for putting it into water. That's reverse fishing? Do I give it negative points for reverse fishing, or extra points for ethical treatment of fish? I wouldn't consider catch-and-release fishing to be net zero. Another conundrum. sqrt(-2)/5

Trains do not stop at your gas station. Trains have no need for puny automobile fuels like petrol. They run on coal and determination. 0/5
