So what the heck is an 'indie game' nowadays anyway? gamingonlinux.com/2023/11/so-wโ€ฆ

#IndieGame #Gaming

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

as a solo indie dev myself I believe this brings up a good point that we should start distinguishing solo developed games or games made by like two or three people from any sort of game developed by a team that has any sort of specific managerial position in it.

โ€œNon corpo gameโ€

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

simple:

A game made by one or multiple "independent developers" aka. neither access to resources nor funding by big publishers and/or developers.

Meaning <100 people (if we count in all bought-in assets and playtesters) may and usually <10 people (employed directly or indirectly) and a budget <โ‚ฌ 1M.

Anyhing above is #SmallStudio and not #IndieDev!

Heck yeah! Even better for Deck users, they can enjoy the game as it was intended to be played: on a touchscreen. I wonder if there's a way to use the deck's gyros to replicate the original iOS version where you had to go portrait for combat.

Here's my poster for #ABACBS2023!

We compared different #eDNA taxonomic classifiers across different simulated datasets of 12S and 16S metabarcoding data.

MMSeqs2 generally 'wins' closely followed by BLAST.
With exclusion databases it becomes apparent that standard Kraken2 produces many, many false positives. With some families like snappers, all classifiers can't assign more than ~30% of sequences.

(not shown is COI, where MMSeqs2 and Mothur are working best)

in reply to Frank Aylward

@foaylward Thanks!!! We have a whole Comms team who help with the poster, it's amazing compared to my academic life.
I sent them an initial outline in powerpoint and my ggplot figures, we had a few calls and sits together. they redrew the figures in illustrator to make them nice! the text is relatively unchanged, which is why there's so much of it ๐Ÿ˜€

It's great when an artist approves of a cover version. This happens too seldom.

What does "meta" mean anyway? I argue that it has become used as a systematic tool for tech culture to evade accountability.

Awesome work from Rotem Sorek lab in our department:
Rotem's lab & others found this past decade >150 bacterial defense mechanisms against phages.
This new work, led by Erez Yirmiya, explores phage *anti-defense* mechanisms, and it's really cool!

Tomorrow I'm teaching this paper royalsocietypublishing.org/doiโ€ฆ about how probably every civilization on every planet marches faster and faster toward burnout, UNLESS they realize that collapse is coming and radically restructure.

This is a possible solution to the Fermi Paradox: most civilizations don't last long, and the ones that do are undetectable: "A sufficiently advanced civilization is indistinguishable from Nature."

Welp, my mind is totally blown for the day. Time to go snuggle some animals.

What #film or #tv show - (past or current) brings you joy?

Right now I find Julia (on Max) just delightful. The series follows Julia Child as she creates The French Chef.

While I admit I may be biased given I work on a PBS #food show, I donโ€™t think thatโ€™s it. The actors are outstanding & itโ€™s beautifully filmed - the colors are somehow both realistic & richer than real life. Characters are people I want to spend time with & every episode makes me smile.
