The fps ladder might be the one thing I never even wanted to try dev'ing
Some of my friends think AI will make it possible to build AAA games in just a couple of months. I think that seriously underestimates how complex game development is.
I often point them to game designer Liz England’s “The Door Problem.” It’s a great example of how much thought goes into game design. Making a good game still takes hard work and experience.

The man who introduced us to the modern interpretation of autism noted thism it was called "refrigerator parenting" and the only reason it wasn't adopted as a mainstream understanding was because it made women sad :(
Replying to @embodiedthinkr
I would not be surprised to eventually learn that “autism” is, more often than not, a total shutdown of nervous system in defense against chronic longhousing from mumma figure(s)

My boomer neighbor was just telling me how a genx friend offered him a free tree and how he told the friend where he could plant it. Friend said he wouldn't plant it there because in 15 years it'll be in the power lines. Boomer says "what do I care? I want it there and in 15 years I'll be dead!" Then started laughing maniacally.
No tree was planted. Why are so many of them like this?

“altermagnetism”
I’m strange metal

holy shit physicists have confirmed a THIRD type of magnetism, after over 90 years of thinking there were only two.
it's called altermagnetism, and it could change how computer memory gets built.
inside magnetic materials, electrons behave like tiny magnets pointing in different directions.
until now, we had two main types:
> ferromagnets:
the tiny magnets point the same way.
easy to read, but outside magnetic fields can interfere with them.
> antiferromagnets:
they point in opposite directions and cancel each other out.
much more stable, but really hard to read.
> altermagnets:
they somehow do BOTH.
their tiny magnets cancel each other out,
making them resistant to magnetic interference,
but they can still produce signals that computers could use to read information.
so scientists may have found a way to make computer memory that's both harder to accidentally scramble AND easier to read.
researchers led by SLAC studied manganese telluride, a material we'd been calling an ordinary antiferromagnet for decades.
they fired left and right handed X-rays at it.
the material reacted differently to each one, revealing a hidden magnetic structure that ordinary antiferromagnets shouldn't have.
they first measured it in 2024,
repeated the experiment in 2025 and published the results in Science in October 2026.
the name "altermagnetism" was only proposed in 2022.
we've been studying magnets for centuries and apparently we're still discovering new kinds of magnetism in 2026 😭
