  • Stability gives way to chaos which gives way to stability once again. While the state of a two-body system can be modeled via simple closed form equations, the mere introduction of a third body turns that which was once predictable into a chaotic mess whose behavior utterly escapes human understanding.

    These were the thoughts racing through Dr. Wang’s mind as he prepared to enter his first VR threesome. That and why he had agreed to any of this at all in the first place.





  • I got kinda obsessed with a security policy engine last year and am trying to build a visual novel around it.

    The story is supposed to take place in the near future where advancements in medicine and technology have created an implant that allows humans to program their cells’ semipermeable membranes via software using this engine’s policy language. The implant has the promise of preventing all disease since the right policy can regulate what enters your cells. However, in reality, many people suffer side-effects due to having implants with poorly-programmed policies. You play as a tuner who needs to save ailing patients by fixing their implants’ buggy policies.

    I’m thinking of making something similar to Trauma Center where there will be these real-time policy tuning games interwoven with sections of VN plot. Of course it’s all ideas and prototypes rn. Nothing ready to show :P




  • Building and running a multiplayer game on one might be cool. Websocket is nice for making simpler real-time games for the browser. Godot also has multiplayer networking support but I’ve never tried it before.

    You do have to open up the Pi to the public Internet though to get any people to play. I use Tailscale Funnel but there are probably also other tunneling solutions





  • Yeah we have a test stage where everything is mixed together. It’s just that we directly promote that test stage to prod so we can’t really separate all the features back out for prod without cherry-picking. The other idea we came up with was just letting test flow to prod and locking WIP stuff behind feature flags. I don’t think the security people would like that idea very much though…
