my favorite example of this is the original printing of rock hydra, which informs you that the +1/+1 counters are heads, and proceeds to describe what happens to the heads diegetically

THEY DOXXED EA-NĀṢIR
Ea-nāṣir lived in n. 1 Old Street (this is a modern name completely fabricated by Sir Leonard Wooley, the excavator at the time) of area AH. This home was finely built and stood with an area of 110 m2, an average home in this neighborhood being about 70 m2.

there's probably a lot of room to improve the pathfinder; at this point a pretty significant majority of the time is just spent figuring out the navigation weights specific to the object, mostly in event dispatch setup, this seems like pretty low hanging fruit.

the way basic human decency hits these days is crazy
So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

drone shots look like shit. so does 4k/120hz video. a shaky, brief helicopter shot in an old movie or tv show still looks cool. the human brain does not like the crispness or smoothness of computers and robots. my guess is that we evolved this instinct during the Computer War of 25,000 BCE

they are pedophiles themselves. they think you should marry barely adolescent girls. they are mad people made child pornography illegal in *1977*
About 30 % of the nation is still trying to pretend Trump is their god. As soon as really bad Epstein information comes out involving Trump they just normalize it. Half of the Christian Nationalist movement have had fathers and pastors who committed or covered up the same crimes as Trump.
