Oh look, nvidia PhysX 5 is open source now: https://github.com/NVIDIA-Omniverse/PhysX I was afraid they would keep it closed, within Omniverse only

Hey everyone!👋

I'm Amber, a social media marketer, and community manager for projects Monochrome RPG and Rosett🌹

Monochrome RPG is a 1920's cartoon punny game that focuses on a non-binary, lone comedian cartoony-like rabbit, and Rosett is a modern take on the classic game Snake with a diversity-focused narrative!

Cannot wait to share more with you after I get a hang of Mastodon! 😊

As a fan of #RetroGameDev I'd like to highlight people who make the retro game dev scene great.

Stefan Vogt is the creator of the Hibernated text adventure series among other games.

He is part of a game developer collective known as Puddle together with Graham Axten and Ant Stiller, they have a site at http://puddlesoft.net/

2.000 followers already? Wow, that's truly wild! 🎉 I secretly hope to somehow get the same or a similar reach as I had on the bird site, would put my mind at ease for sure.

I'm putting this behind a CW (which I like to refer to as a "Content Wrapper" now) because not everyone wants to be drowning in #Mastodon talk on Mastodon 😆

But I find this extraordinary, and a clear signal that the #Fediverse will continue to explode in popularity.

This will come with growing pains. Be patient with the new people, because they'll be curious and have tons of questions.

Be patient with your server admins too. They're working REAL hard right now!

One composition technique I've been using lately is to reveal a melodic phrase slowly, loop the first few notes a few times, add in a few more, and repeat until the whole melody is revealed. Similar to the children's game "I'm going to a picnic"

I made this up, but undoubtedly I'm not the first. Does anyone know if there's a term for it and have any examples of it?

There's plenty of disagreement and controversy at the moment, so let me stoke things a bit more:

# Light Mode is better than Dark Mode _(for me)_

Here's why, with some science behind it, too. Yes, I have a justification as well just a preference…

Let's start with what we know:
The pupil of the eye shrinks when there's a lot of light and dilates when it's darker

The question is: how much difference will it make between viewing a screen in dark mode and light mode?

Here's a very rough, crude experiment _(emphasis on "rough" and "crude", and use of "experiment" is very loose here!)_

_Details in next toot_

I’m seeing tons of awesome stuff that’s outside of my usual security firehose on other sites

So I guess I haven't done a self- #introduction on this instance yet. Time to remedy!

Among other things I'm a #synth aficionada with an ambiguously musical past who started messing around with synths in 2019. Through the pandemic and family tragedy my synth hobby kept my head above water, and in mid-2020 I discovered the #GoldenShrimpGuild who inspired me to get into #livesynthesis.

Synths inspired my #electronics hobby, but that's stuff I'll tackle over at @litui@μ.computer .
