Dreamed I wrote my own navigation app and the dream ended up with me walking down a pitch black country road with no streetlights tilting my useless phone side to side in a lightning storm several kilometres from my destination while being chased by a serial killer.
Thanks for the vote of confidence in my programming skills, brain!
The original mascot horror
If you did like Project Hail Mary the book I reckon you'd like 1970s sci-fi classic "The Mote in God's Eye" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle... no spoilers but it sits in the same hard-sci-fi-adventure zone for me.
Three people have submitted pull requests to pygltflib (an open source python library I manage) in the last month. Some great tweaks and one person even cleaned up the build pipeline a bit.
Everyone contributing just a piece here and there -- open source, what a concept! ❤️
Finally watched the final season of The Handmaid's Tale.
Overall liked this show, not just for being a rare feminist science fiction, but also showing a sci-fi distopia with the women's stories centred. It always felt unique and fresh for that - not bad for six seasons!
On the negative side, the show sort of said everything it wanted to say in the first season or two imo. It shied away from trope-y action arcs deliberately but I can not deny those arcs exist for a reason!
Low Earth Orbit Adventures will be on show and playable at WIP night tomorrow at Sabby Co-op in Melbourne along with other work-in-progress games. If you're around drop by!
Was hoping to wrap up development of LEO Adventures tomorrow but unfortunately it's only about 80% complete.
Not sure what to do from a project management POV as it is bumping up against a massive project that has to come onto the board and has priority.
Is it legitimate for a piece of art to define the criteria by which it can be judged?
