mycelium (fungi) create expansive networks between themselves, soil, and plants. they communicate, between themselves and the plants that support them, to ensure their habitat remains safe and both they and the plants remain healthy and fed.

meanwhile, we let people starve and go without housing, and we can't even manage universal healthcare.

conclusion: humans are less civilized than fungus. 🍄

Pipsqueak looks interesting! I don’t know how I missed it when browsing. If you like that GBA style, also check out the demo for Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo.

2 quite different puzzler games:

This one caught my eye because of the art (same artist as Braid) but the everything about this game is charming
…steampowered.com/…/Arranger_A_RolePuzzling_Adven…Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure follows the story of Jemma, a small-town misfit on a journey of self-discovery. Venturing out beyond her stiflingly cozy confines, she finds an inspiring world - but also one ruled by fear, and a strange, immovable ‘static’ force. Can she disrupt a culture of stagnation, and find a place to fit into it?

This one I played because it’s by Game Maker’s Toolkit from YouTube so was keen to see what he’d built. Also enjoyed this one and it has a cute and polished presentation style.
store.steampowered.com/app/…/Mind_Over_Magnet/Mind Over Magnet: Escape a dangerous factory using the power of magnetism. You must team up with three different magnet friends and use their unique abilities to solve more than 60 tricky single-screen puzzles.

UPDATE: NY Governor Kathy Hochul said on CNN last night that she is considering a ban on masks.

This is absolutely shameful! New York has suffered so much from COVID, and COVID is not over. We should be normalizing and depoliticizing masks, not banning them.

@luckytran You can’t stop me from masking, masking is part of my heritage!

Masking for COVID has now lasted longer than the confederacy.

@games What demos did you play today? | DAY 3

Greetings, flaming fellas of the Fediverse, we are halfway through , but that's no reason to be idle, for surprises at every corner and every genre awaits

quilan ,

I’ve been playing Heart of the Machine, and really enjoying it. It’s a fascinating 4x ish in a future city, in a bit of an inversion of AI Wars (same developer). Before playing, I was merely intrigued, but now I’m excitedly awaiting where it goes. It was, however, initially difficult to figure out what to do. Perhaps more UX is going to be useful here.

NotSteve_ ,

I’ve been playing Enotria: The Last Song. So far seems like a solid souls like but it has wicked performance issues right now. I’m really digging the vibe of the main demo city but I’m barely hitting 40fps on low settings with an RTX 3070ti

By showing us how small in space mass can be, black holes continuously generate space.

@tobogganablaze My point is: How can you be so sure it has been dismissed? I just found about [1] from 2013.
It appears, the SM doesn't disagree with shrinkage at all.

But why does it seem your mind being blown by this idea? Maybe be because you didn't consider us being sucked in anywhere? If that's the case, here's why didn't you consider this yet: I didn't yet post my post despite the probability of not having a new thought.

That's how blocking path dependencies in science can be so strong.

"What instead of the universe expanding we’re just shrinking" is not what I posted because my brain didn't come up with it. If you want things simple and in your words, I suggest a solitary life.

Finally, you don't know my age or experience. Your unfriendliness could just have hurt a kid's interest into space. Remember that.

My point is: How can you be so sure it has been dismissed?

Models that don’t work should be dismissed. If you have a model for shrinkage that does work it should not be dismissed.

It appears, the SM doesn’t disagree with shrinkage at all.

Yup, pretty much.

But why does it seem your mind being blown by this idea? Maybe be because you didn’t consider us being sucked in anywhere? If that’s the case, here’s why didn’t you consider this yet: I didn’t yet post my post despite the probability of not having a new thought.

Sorry, I’m not following. My mind is definitly NOT blown and black holes don’t “suck in” things. That’s a common misconception. And I really don’t know what you’re trying to say with the sentences after that.

Your unfriendliness could just have hurt a kid’s interest into space. Remember that.

I’m sorry that you think I was unfriendly.

But this a community for people that smoked too much weed to saything dumb things that sound clever when you don’t think about them too much.

If there is actual kids around that are interested in space theneven more important that unscientific non-sense gets called out.

[1] science20.com/…/universe_expanding_or_are_we_shri…

Quite interesting article, you should read it.

But the TL;DR here is that so far all “shrinking gravity” models had major flaws and didn’t work. And the last idea of perfeclty scaling atoms is unobservable, so really more of a thought expriment than an actual model.
