This is an absolutely incredible talk by Jon Ingold about how to construct a compelling dialog tree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vRfNtvFVRo

He takes a scene from Blade Runner, breaks it down into beats, and shows how to adapt it to an interactive context while maintaining the pace and storytelling intention of each beat.

French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet was the first to accurately visualize a black hole. In 1978, he used punch cards to write a computer program calculating the appearance and then reproduced the image by hand using India ink on Canson negative paper http://bit.ly/2UL1ylU

It is known that otters are wiggly water sausages thus we can conclude they are Simple Harmonic Ottscillators.

I’m really enjoying hypnospace outlaw but some of the motion in the section of the game I’m in right now is making me nauseous :(

wow Apollo 11 was such an amazing film. I definitely recommend seeing it in theatres if you get the chance. the movie is entirely archival footage and some of the film is stunningly detailed
