I KNOW, I KNOW; I'm being That Guy again. Sorry.

@tcarbone Thanks, Tom! Exactly the kind of actionable feedback I hoped for.

I'll include more in-game video clips demonstrating phenomena.

BTW: That jaggedness only shows up under super fast and curved trajectories like a 4-frame arc. Could happen for a sword swipe or hook punch.

I made a video about how I authored and optimized particle trail effects for tank rockets and the satellite that orbits the Love Tanks planet:

@visageofscott I once broke a rib and the trip to to doctor was IMHO not a good use of time and other resources.

@nachosarah I mean... I like cheetos too? Especially flamin' hot, sprinkled into popcorn. 🌶️🍿🤪

To be clear, there are protests, traffic disruptions, vandals and blast balls here most nights of the week and they're rarely reported, but this group is slightly bigger than the usual nightly roving bands, so curious to get more info.

[Michael Gourlay 😎 @MiJaGourlay]

I haven't found info on Twitter or mainstream media of protests happening tonight in Cap Hill. Sizable crowd, follow vehicles, loudspeakers, chants, blast balls -- but no specific reports. @SEAProtestNet post 14 hours ago live feeds for many cities. @jseattle? @KING5Seattle?

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

Just like we've seen in the U.S., the police in Nigeria are responding to protests about police brutality with more police brutality.

Being an IT enthusiast or a software developer doesn't make me a cybercriminal. Owning swags and having pictures of my foreign colleagues doesn't make me a fraudster. Owning a laptop doesn't mean I commit cyber crimes. Enough is enough, tech club members aren't safe✊ #EndSARS

BTW on a personal note, we both guest-lectured at UW https://t.co/IpU3dbqZ2l but I was traveling the week of yours. Huge pangs of regret at missing the chance to express my gratitude in person. Maybe some day.

Paraphrased from Snow Crash:

“My grandmother figured out the whole situation, just by watching my face. I don't know how my face conveyed that information, or what wiring in grandmother's mind enabled her to accomplish this feat. To condense fact from the vapor of nuance.” ...

... @nealstephenson a few decades ago, you helped set me and others on the course we're on. Thank you for sharing your vision. I hope we can reciprocate by manifesting it soon, for everybody who wants to join.
