Here's a 1-minute video showing--in the words of visualization hero @EdwardTufte--the "compared to what" factor for today's amazing @NASAWebb image. Thanks to the @WWTelescope for making this possible, and @ADavidWeigel. I only wish @NASA and @POTUS had shown the image this way!

Dreams Flight Simulator by @3zanders is a hot new release #madeindreams that I recommend everyone plays

But when you're done, there's this new Remix It Up kit that allows you all to make your own levels or maps. It's super easy to use! Give it a go! https://t.co/f3GLeqGn22

@martinbtaylor it could be FXAA maybe since that's been invented relatively recently? https://t.co/kRhGV7CjHc it blurrifies the edges.

Delivering actionable notes to game teams can be very challenging. Screwing it up leads to frustration and lots of extra work.

One of our directors at Bungie introduced a method of separating our responses into three distinct categories that's really helped us give better notes.

@tapgiles @ShaggyLBP @_SDorin @steve_big_guns I have 4 laser scopes and then compute the minimum with calc gadgets then wire to an advanced mover. This also does tyre friction and gas + brakes in one gadget! To keep the truck level subtract left + right, fwd + back to an advanced rotator gadget.

@ShaggyLBP @_SDorin @steve_big_guns You can make it much tighter than in mine. I made it very floaty on purpose! You can make boats in a similar way as well

[Alex Parker @3zanders]

@ShaggyLBP @_SDorin @steve_big_guns Have you tried floating the hit box above the ground using raycasts? So the box floats instead of colliding with the ground based on the smallest raycast distance.
Then keep the box upright by rotating it... e.g. https://t.co/KiWZO0iWBa

@cablespaghetti You get used to it, but its a strange choice for sure. Every time I’ve ever changed a setting away from defaults you end up regretting it when you inevitably reinstall or try to use someone else’s computer

[Alex Parker @3zanders]

@cablespaghetti Also xcode is not as good as sublime text 3 or vscode, but use whatever text editor you like.
brew is the mac version of apt-get/yum.

@marcoshealey If it takes 2 mins to boil a kettle for a cup of tea that’s something like 5472 million cups of tea per day!
