Your own engine? That's impressive.

What I wanted to know about was if you were using any product to create the buildings. Are they also all made from scratch?

Ah. I get you. Yes, one might have a limit there. I propose, instead of "too much," one characterize that as, "more than sufficient." See how that works for you.

What's your streaming name?

One must consider context: a tad too much of what? I mean, my wife and I realized long ago that the phrase, "too much garlic" is void of meaning. When the topic is lunch, I'm trying to see if I can tease any substance out of phrases like, "too much chili," or "too much left-over Chinese food." It's just not working. Sure, "too much Chef Boyardee" I can grasp.

Details, man! What are the details?

It does. But, while they were still trying to fix the leak, the players from both teams were sort of fooling around, attempting ridiculously hard shots. One of our players stood at the mid-court line and threw the ball back over her shoulder, while facing away from the basket. And the goddam thing went in.

Would rather have seen a whole game, but that was pretty impressive. (So was the crowd's response.)

Anytime a business wants to fake a spike in profit, they churn the rolls. Fire half the staff and you immediately cut operating costs. Accounts Receivable will continue to take in revenue (even more so if your accounting is accrual based), and operations will continue on momentum for a little while.

Of course, if that staff was actually necessary, you find out soon enough when problem come up that no one can solve.

And so it goes.

Why does God hate basketball fans? Today's game against Purdue was called. On account of rain. Yes, rain. The Xfinity Center roof sprung a leak just before tip-off, smack dab over the mid-court area. They couldn't patch it. Game postponed. Due to rain. A basketball game, which is a thing you do indoors, got called on account of rain.

Why does God hate us?

Yes! About to leave, in fact. Raining, but tolerable.

I have moved to mastodon.gamedev.place, btw. Follow me on that one, if you want to.

Slapped together a simple click-and-hold hoop shooter to see what my first feelings upon using it are for what it needs next. Very interesting to note the flood of immediate desires for improvements, which seem to arise not from pondering the question, but from some basic sense of "I wish I could <whatever>," like reset the ball immediately, or change the view while it's moving.

Fascinating experiment.

Gray floor and and far wall floating over a dark surface with hazy blue sky behind. Gray ball about to drop through gray hoop near top-center. Shadows of hoop and ball below them to the left on the far wall. All in a Windows Unity application window.

Nice that the slide operates. I bet you could move a few of these on the Unity Asset Store if you added a few more models of similar design.

I'm a great fan of SketchUp, myself. Blender seems very powerful, but I can never remember how it works between my infrequent needs to model something.

Catherine, that is a magnificent color rendition. Since that's the Hyades, I'm estimating about a 6-degree FOV. Pretty wide angle for astro. What else will you use it on?

I'm a happily married man since '96. Navy brat, lived on both coasts. Enjoyed Heinlein until I saw the fascism. Have practiced law. Elected to local office once. I teach computer science now.

I love computers and computer games. AI is real. ChatGPT is a scam.
