thank you! i try to be meaningful

player feedback should always be taken with a grain of salt though, because they're imagining an idealized version of the game that might not work in terms of game design, and might not even be fun

which is fine! it's not the player's job to be good at game design, that's your job as the game dev

playtesting is really really good at showing you how players fail to feel or see or reach certain things you would like them to experience

this is basically blackboard font: the conference

imo playtesting should be in service of your vision, not deciding what the vision should be

ok but that *is* pretty wild though!!

Geometric Algebra Mini Event Geometric Algebra Mini Event - 4,5,6 March 2026 - DAE - Kortrijk - Belgium. Free talks and workshops by leading GA researchers.

a geometric algebra mini event in Kortrijk, Belgium!

a talk by Anthony Lasenby on the connection between geometric algebra and the fundamental forces presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio

you know shit is about to get REAL when the 4:3 aspect ratio hits

a picture of Toast (the cat) drinking from the faucet, splashing water all over, with Ashley reporting back with "just in: little man gets water EVERYWHERE"

two pictures of a somewhat deformed sleepy Gumpy captioned "Bed cryptid needs cuddles though"

it's important to get a cat sitter who reports on things like

Hamish Todd presenting conformal geometric algebra at GAME 2026 Kortrijk

look at this loser nerd @hamishtodd.bsky.social at the loser nerd conference about "geometric" ""algebra"" psh like what's even the point

I gave the keynote earlier though it went well I think!

this was funnier in my head

i think if you shoot it a secret door opens to the BIG shield

it's nice to see that everyone can now slowly kill themselves at the airport

I think it's a smoking booth with handicap accessibility

not yet, I was thinking I'd make one when/if I know I can keep her :c as in, when/if she gets along with everyone

ah sorry i forgot the 2010 post processing mb

"if we map it to world space, it'll have the correct texel density regardless of object scale!"

the crafty level artist:

detail normals only do this under extreme distress

an enormous metal pipe coming up from the middle of the floor at the airport

it's giving unreal engine 3 kit bashing

they're both very good you can tell by the way they are

My cat Safir

My cat Saffran

It’s been 1 year since I adopted my cats Safir and Saffran from a shelter. Time flies. I love them very much and I’d say they have healed me in a way that’s hard to describe. Every shader witch needs a familiar or two :)

he just doesn't have any brain cells left to dedicate to complex interpersonal dynamics so he just kinda goes for it

I'm hoping there's always at least one orientation of this surface that has them all getting along with each other

a chart of the cat relationships in Freya's household. Toast and Salad like each other, and Thor. Thor tolerates Salad and is ok with Toast. Salad likes everyone. Nobody likes Gumpy except salad. Gumpy is only friends with Salad

the current cat situation

Bluesky is less interesting [than Twitter] – and that’s kind of the point.

@hankgreen.bsky.social would you be up for having a convo about AI and its impact within art?

your latest video was great!! I would love to chat if you're up for it c: there's a perspective from my field of game dev you might appreciate

(wish we met at thinkercon! I only met the other hank)
