This is awesome - well done!

I love ASCII/terminal games. The creativity involved with creating a graphical game in something that was only ever meant to display lines of text is super interesting to experience for yourself. This project far surpasses my own personal library for terminal games, well done.

This is truly incredible. I want to remind everyone about Blender's humble beginnings. Great work, I look forward to seeing your product pop back up as others discover it.

This article is awesome. I've always wondered why Chile is that shape and I didn't know about the Chilean dialect of Spanish being so far off from the others. Super cool.

Any good guides for basic editing? Tried it a couple of times some years ago and couldn't get it working and/or got lost in settings.

Just saw this, not in the habit of checking back on comments (whoops). Casey Faris has been a huge help to me over the years: https://www.youtube.com/@CaseyFaris

I enjoy projects that push the limits of what we expect from terminals. However, as an end user, I would be highly annoyed at a terminal with effects like this. My favorite thing about terminals is the minimal cruft from unnecessary peacocking. Every other mode of application has decades of built-up obligation to be flashy or entertaining in the way it presents information. Not terminals, though, that's the last place where less is more.

I canceled my Adobe Premiere Pro subscription a while back, not because of AI terms but because other dark patterns in how they bill gave me a bad taste. I switched to DaVinci Resolve, which has a pretty capable free version. (I haven't used it extensively enough to comment on whether I will miss Premiere in the long run)

Davinci Resolve is super powerful, even in its free version. Every project I have learned something new that it can do. Highly recommend.

This reminds me of Steven Pressfield's works. The professional does what they need to do to complete the work. Once the work is done, they being to allocate for the next one.
k1ns commented on Gen Z is worried they're going to raise a generation of iPad kids   businessinsider.com/ipad-... · Posted by u/type0

You could just not buy the kid an iPad…

Bikes, dirt, legos, board games, books, all still exist. Despite what American consumerism would have you think, devices aren’t required to parent your children. We made the decision from the outset not to introduce them into the mix and this insane thing happened: they don’t spend their time on devices.

Sure, their classmates will have them and they will come home asking for this awesome thing they saw so-and-so have at recess. When that happens, you get to do the most important part: you say “no”.
