Here's something a little different for #ScreenshotSaturday, a quick look at my custom #GodotEngine plugin for managing unit actions, with the mage as an example.
Left column are the relative cells to attack, right is the cell to click to activate, and above is the rule for when it's valid.

I guess I’m just gonna make a thread of useful gamedev stuff I want to look at when I’m at a computer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re-upping this as we get into the Christmas season proper to remind people that “Hallelujah” is not a Christmas song, nor is it a song about Jesus generally.
I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

I have scripts memorized for how to deal with students disrupting various lectures. I have plans I have rehearsed and chains of who to contact memorized. So far I've been fortunate in my current position, but every semester it's the same panic again and again.
I think straight and cis people really have no idea what things are like out there for the rest of us. I’ve received minimum one paper Like That per year since I started teaching, if not one or more per semester, all of which contained varying degrees of blunt hate speech directed *at me* lmao

And it just comes across as victim-blaming to say she “invited” this and not recognize that this is a coordinated harassment campaign, especially in light of the student’s mother’s involvement in groups that conduct these kinds of harassment campaigns.

Like, the people who want to turn this into a discussion on pedagogical best practices are completely missing the moment — the politician mom is calling to ban all trans people from teaching positions! — but it’s also a fundamentally short-sighted take from a more general academic freedom POV.

Graduate instructors should be allowed to grow as teachers without national mob harassment over a 25-point reading response. They are targeting trans instructors partly because of their own transphobia, and partly because the rest of you can’t be trusted to have your trans colleague’s backs.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

Hogfather belongs in any top 5 Discworld list and the way Death behaves as the Hogfather is a big reason why
a lot of things ARE unfair, and when you see them from the perspective of the seven foot anthropomorphic personification of The End, there's no reason they should be that way at all

This is a legitimate scientific revolution in meteorology.
Also, to be clear, these models are not the AI LLMs that most people are familiar with. They are machine learning algorithms trained on observations (actually reanalysis).

Meteorologists are surprised that the weather model that did the best job forecasting hurricanes this year was a new one, introduced by Google. AI may be the beginning of a new era of forecasting. n.pr/49MFa1M
As the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season ends, the future of forecasting is AI

ok i went and looked up the first published D&D campaign module and it's literally called "Against the Giants" and the players are fighting against giants who are plundering the villages.
"Woke is ruining D&D". Meanwhile Dimension 20, one of the wokest real play shows around, just sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for live shows and brings armies of new players to RPGs.

my hot take about the Oklahoma essay is evangelicals are soft from never having to seriously engage with apologetics as a dominant faith culture. I could have written a better essay than that in high school and it’s because Mormons have a robust culture of fake academia.

It's hard to tell apart Godot built-in scripts with their wacky names, and it's cumbersome to rename them, so I made a little addon which lets you quickly rename them after their Node. You can find it here: codeberg.org/MajorMcDoom/...

Three evenings ago I read an article about using ice packs on the forehead to help beat insomnia. The original study was from 2011 IIRC. Apparently if you drop the temperature of your frontal lobe by a degree or so you trigger a cascade of sleepy time metabolic events.

Idk which one of you said to put an ice pack on your forehead for 5 min before you go to sleep, but by divine providence I recently purchased a sleep mask with a little bean bag in it, so I put it in the freezer and then used it and uhhh. I slept for 8 hours, uninterrupted, AND laying on my back

We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march

Okay, is there some way we can organize a marketplace here at Bluesky, so that all the many various workers and craftspeople can succeed and survive Christmas? There must be something better than feeds and hashtags. Game devs? What would an ideal marketplace for our kind look like?
