Someone wishing for a brighter tomorrow. And tacos for dinner. I think that last part I can make happen.

I've been pretty impressed with Elissa Slotkin and I agree with her sentiment here on banning Presidential pardons entirely. It was always a dubious practice (the public often not knowing who is getting pardoned or why) even with trustworthy Presidents. www.youtube.com/shorts/L83WW...
Why I want to ban the Presidential pardon.

Spent weekend testing custom solution for NPC navigation and obstacle avoidance. I don't use any of the common solutions like NavMesh. I use a combination of custom patrol routes paired with a standalone custom obstacle avoidance module. I use a lot of custom solutions. #Unity3D #GameDev #IndieDev

Two new things I've learned about #Subnautica recently upon replay. 1) Getting damage to an above ground base is a huge problem because the damage is invisible. Have to just rebuild randomly. 2) There's quite a lot of resources around the floating island; not a bad base spot. #Gaming

Excellent lawsuit. Hopefully it gets some national exposure. Should shed more light on potential current DOJ corrupt behavior. + a reminder to watch out for honey pots, usually just foreign adversary concern; is DOJ using it nefariously against our own people? + thought-worthy redactions question.
Today we filed 1st Amendment lawsuit against AG Pam Bondi & Dept of Justice for illegal firing of senior official w/o any due process for personal comments of public interest he made on private date that turned out to be targeted O'Keefe operation.

Anything worthwhile to glean between this and what is going on in the current administration @marcelias.bsky.social @lawfaremedia.org ? www.npr.org/2025/11/21/g...

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

About done with mechanic to make NPC flee from flashlight beam. First added generic Retreating state to NPCs with RetreatCondition interface, then added retreat condition where NPC is in generic cone, then extended that so cone is flashlight range & spot angle. So far works well. #GameDev #IndieDev

Any software / security experts looking for a project -- make a tool for assisting devs with certificates. Especially "Unable to get local issuer certificate" errors behind corporate firewalls. I can't begin to tell you how much productivity is lost to such issues. #Cybersecurity #IT #PKI #nodejs

BTW, I do not just randomly add stuff to my game architecture. Everything I add has a purpose for the game I am working on. My latest addition of an NPC Retreat state is needed for some ghostly apparitions I will be adding soon.

I've finished adding a new Retreating state for NPCs. Possible states now include Patrolling, Waiting, Chasing, Attacking, Wandering, and Retreating.

I need to add one more dev support feature in game: invulnerability+free camera mode. It's really hard to monitor game events only from constrained character perspective. I need to be able to fly above without dying to monitor and then adjust how events unfold. #GameDev #IndieDev

Loving this new script I created. Instead of having to go out to my logging system config to change levels, now I can set up groups and change the levels from the inspector (script attached to my main DDOL game object). I like this so much better. #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity3D

Anyone have thoughts on #Vizz for #Presbyopia ? I'm surprised it isn't bigger news, considering it affects hundreds of millions of people and dealing with reading glasses/alternate prescriptions/bifocals is a massive annoyance. Curious what it costs. I'm wary of it but like the idea. #Vision

That a Reagan judge would give up his lifetime appointment willingly because he feels a future GOP president has rendered that appointment meaningless in the midst of an authoritarian speedrun is quite remarkable:

Anyone have any good resources for iframe embedded Youtube videos showing Error 153? Seems to be a fairly new phenomenon and the fixes people discuss seem very inconsistent as to whether they work or not. I have this issue and tried some fixes without success. #Youtube #Web #WebDevelopment

If you are into such phenomena, like "The Dress", and the Laurel/Yanny thing, I've encountered a new audio one. Find the Mini PEKKA "Pancakes" audio. Some people hear "pancakes". Others hear something else. To me, it sounds nothing like "pancakes" (not even remotely close). #Illusions #TheDress

Trying out Unity PostProcessScene to auto-configure objects between several pre-defined rigidbody configurations. Add just my pre-defined UnifiedRigidbodyScript to an object and the post processor will pick it up and handle generic config. Can be overridden as needed. #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity3D
