Wow. Unity just stopped recognizing the 'c' key on my keyboard. It works fine in other applications.

Quitting and restarting Unity fixed the problem, but ... wow. What could lead to such instability?

Up and at 'em, people! These wheats aren't going to cream themselves!

Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:

A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.

Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*.

Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA

Learning proportions for drawing people. The four quarters of a person's height seem to be roughly divided by:

Let's get this November started!

We have a winner! Planetary Annihilation: TITANS. Clean interface and an outstanding tutorial that lets you do something satisfying in the first minute. Also runs just fine under Ubuntu.

Stellaris runs fine on Ubuntu, but the thought of learning to manage all this infrastructure, research, and diplomacy leaves me exhausted. I just want to maneuver fleets (space or wet navy) and see some pretty pyrotechnics.

I am once again asking for a 1X game.

Watcha got?

Happy Halloween 🎃

Here are the pumpkins I carved this year: An active red dwarf star and its gas giant planet. I call it an exo-pumkin.

I have never felt more respected or validated in my life than when I drove this onto the elementary school playground this morning

The original Grid racing game runs on Ubuntu, but the load times are appalling.

I tried ΔV: Rings of Saturn and ... I don't get it. There's brief tutorial on the controls, but when I'm told to return to the station ... what station? Where? Also, what am I trying to do? Do I just wander around this isotropic space collecting rocks? There seems to be a distinct lack of feedback on what I'm supposed to be doing and whether I'm succeeding.

The Steam reviews are Very Positive, so I must be missing something.
