I don't want a single US soldier or pilot in this country. They are a fascist occupying force commanded by a dementia-addled scumbag
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

An image of a 3D roof generated using the procedural Straight Skeleton algorithm
I open sourced the Straight Skeleton algorithm we use in @dungeonalchemist.com to generate the roofs. It's a very complex algorithm that took a long time to get right, so I'm very happy to share it with the world!
If you need procedural roofs in Unity, check this out.

Cruelty to trans folks will not make the groceries cheaper, the environment better, houses more affordable or healthcare free. It’s just gross cruelty and a blatant disregard for their human rights
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports
hey this is legitimately terrifying and if you're not paying attention to this you need to be right now
This is horrific and disgusting and sounds like something in Dubai. I pray it's inaccurate and/or they'll back down after an outcry. But it's absolutely something these fuckers will try to do. Defund. Abolish. Prosecute. Imprison.
The Cursed of Cups.
Digging up sewerage pipes by hand again Dan?
WTF. They didn't deserve this. No one deserves this. Corporate incompetence from Amazon, yet again. FFS. RIP KoM. Long love KoM. Heartfelt best wishes to the team in this shitty time. 🫂💝
Oh no! April's really busy! How am I going to get any work done then now >_<
Catch me at the Guildford Games Festival 2026, Friday 20th February, 10 AM to 6 PM. Panel: Tools of the trade - inside the tech driving game innovation. 11 AM to 12 PM in the Glass Room (at G-Live, Guildford). Guildford.Games logo (left) and mascot (bottom right), with Sams picture in the centre.
If you are at the Guildford.Games Festival tomorrow, please come and say hello. You can catch me on the Tools of the Trade panel at 11am, or I'll be wandering around most of the day. Love to talk game-dev, tools, tech, and procedural generation (but I am human too if you just want to chat).
Best answer/reaction ever from the RT and Teamancer 🤣
An old white foreign billionaire (hinting at Rupert Murdoch), peeking out from a huge mountain pile of cookies, tells a light-skin-toned construction worker (with a plate and one cookie) about the dark-skin-toned person sitting across from him (with no plate and no cookie) "Careful Mate...that foreigner wants your cookie!"
And the 21st century update:
Konfronto 1.0 launches on Feb 23. That's only 5 more sleeps!
Unless you live on a planet with a day-night cycle that is different to ours. In which case, by the time you read this Konfronto released, our civilisation digitised and you can find echoes of our consciousness in the Universe Wide Web.
What?! That's amazing for rapid prototyping PCBs!
Holy shit this is cool. Wonder if there is mileage in printing the ridges directly on to plain fiberglass boards for speed, heat handling, and structural strength? 🤔 Hmm, of course this also opens up all sorts of "circuits printed onto complex structures" possibilities...
Did you just say... "faucet" 😱
OMG 😆
Wholesome content break!
Fascinating thread, learned a lot. Thanks Rami. Happy Ramadan to all 😊
P.S. Wishlist* "The Quiet Things" so Silverscript can continue to make deep, emotional, experiences and games.

* and later buy of course, when it's out 😊
Come along on Friday, I'll be on a panel at 11 talking about some of the innovative tools and tech driving games :)
Quite the roster in the form of a Steam sale celebrating Guildfords finest for this years Guildford.Games Festival!

I know EXACTLY where that is. Gascoigne Slurry Store is a landmark in the journey down West to my folks in Cornwall. Better than some silly trees on a hill. 💩
