Oh yeah that's actually kind of freaky 😂

But I learned something new today, thanks!

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 1d

Ah I am on 11! Maybe they made it even worse than it already was 😮

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 2d

Really? They experience eye-boggling happiness?

I'd never heard of that 😮

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 2d

But what is Grok, if not imaginary girlfriend persevering 🤌

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 2d

Condolences Molly, she was a real beaut 🙏

AI should be made illegal. Goal Oriented Action Planning, state machines, pathfinding, THE WHOLE THING

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 2d

Better to have tried and boggled than to have never tried at all

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 2d

I've only ever heard bungle used that way, not boggle

But maybe that's the answer to my question

Maybe we have to specify that it's our mind that got boggled, and not our first attempt to make homemade pasta

Isn't that "bungled"?

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 2d

And that's not even some kind of user file, that's THEIR stuff. They could just hard-code it in, but it doesn't even find that half the time ; _ ;

Currently learning Houdini and aiming to update my portfolio, but here's some of my current work 🌟

For me it doesn't, no matter which way I spell it (my Windows uses british spelling) 🥲

Search with "network and sharing cent" filled in, and below it it says "No results found"

Why do we specify that something is mind-boggling

Name one other thing that gets boggled

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 2d

You can sometimes not even find things by typing in the entire name

Try searching for Network and Sharing Centre (which is in Control Panel > Network and Internet)

Nope, never heard of it

It's mind-boggling. My mind has become boggled

Nothing stupid about sharing something that's meaningful to you

Thanks for the explanation!

Using a 3D noise texture to offset 2d UV's, and the UV's are used in the edge detection step 🤔 ?

I'll admit that I struggle to wrap my head around it

Personally I'd love to see a breakdown of it sometime, it's a tremendous effect!

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 2d

Very cool! What's the approach?

I would expect you'd have a lot of problems with sorting with this 3d noise

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 2d

If you're reading this and you're in charge of AI:

The term AI is actually used by videogames already, you're going to have to call it something else

This is actually from the game design/pitch document of Diablo! www.graybeardgames.com/download/dia...

I was just reading over this the other day!

Do you have to defeat increasingly more powerful Edwards to progress?

Is Higher Edward at the top or is there like an Exalted Edward above him

Roy Theunissen @roytheunissen.com · 3d

Someone just told me they work with Higher Ed

I would like to meet this Higher Edward, he sounds like a powerful being

If Alphonse Mucha were alive today he would lose his mind over Bezier curves

I just had a great idea for a business:

That website you like, but without AI

Who's with me

Shinji, drink the tea or Rei will have to do it

Clipper "Mighty Mint" tea with purple and turquoise packaging reminiscent of EVA-01's colour scheme from Neon Genesis Evangelion

Just saw an old video about Hollow Knight and seeing The Knight beat the snot out of Hornet feels really wrong now 🥲
