I actually don’t think this is entirely unworkable? Hexagon is just a 2D projection of a cube, it decomposes into 3 squares quite nicely.
Of course, they are a bit squished when viewed in 2 dimensions, and they don’t form straight lines… but otherwise they pretty much act like a squares grid

Took me a bit, but finally beat the boss on normal difficulty. Drone+missile build did the job. Definitely a bit dependent on luck - if the last boss gets their card manipulation trick in my hand too soon, I always lose

You know, I've had this blasted theme song stuck in my head for about the last 20 years, and it finally dawned on me that it's probably meant to be a heavily-synthed version of the Soviet national anthem

It’s wine making season once more. My neighbours make wine by the many 1,000 litres, but I’ll content myself with this one damajuana…

![In parts of central Canada, a ground meat patty wrapped in flank or round steak is known as a London broil. Some butchers will wrap the flank steak around a concoction of seasoned and ground or tenderized flank steak. Others sell a pork sausage patty wrapped in flank or top round steak labeled as London broil. Another variant, popular in Southern Ontario, is a London broil "loaf", wherein the tenderized flank steak exterior is wrapped around minced and spiced veal as the filler. In some regions,[which?] bacon will be added between the flank steak and the veal grind.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yrlz53icnz33yvdv6dabgkjx/bafkreih2xhedubemjd3h2abahffkapehkgjr5fur23o32ock6ywpkrycyy@jpeg)
This morning was the opening day of my new cafe here in Galicia! It’s been many months of renovations and bureaucracy, but now the fun part begins. Going to have the proper inauguration Sunday afternoon, with live music, when we fire up the attached barbecue shack.

You successfully nerd-sniped me with this. I have an iPhone with a 120hz display, however, the browser defaults to 60Hz on this test (30Hz in low power mode).
To actually the tester to display 120hz, you have to go into Safari’s advanced settings, and toggle the following feature flag

There’s this ruined castle on a mountain top, just across the border in Portugal. It’s bit of a hike to get up there, and then you sit at the top of the world, and feel the sun and the wind on your skin…

On reflection, I'll give a shout out to Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor in this context. They have some very complicated level geometry, and the map does a really good job of making it readable

I simplified generation quite a bit. Now all the plate tectonics runs on a pure triangle mesh, and then as a post process I replace each vertex with a hex tile (more or less taking the dual of the triangle mesh)
