@Jodi I really loved how the smoked maple-glazed pecans turned out. And they were so easy! Using all spice instead of cinnamon gave them a better savoury depth for the rice.

re: thread about the game engines used in paradox's europa universalis games -- this third (long) toot is about multithreading and performance

in reply to Lynnesbian

now, i'm not that interested in europa universalis V as a game. it doesn't really appeal to me. that's not to say it's bad (it's very very good), just that it's not for me.

i'm interested in europa universalis V as a program. i NEED to know how they pulled this off. i NEED to watch a two hour talk about this. what they've done is a borderline miracle and i need to know the details.

so if anyone at paradox is reading this: PLEASE give another presentation about multithreading in paradox games!!! or at least make a dev diary post about it!

in reply to Lynnesbian

we don't know for certain that the "every task knows its requirements" approach is how they did it, but i mean... i'm almost certain that's what they've done.

but i need to know for certain. and i need to know how. and how long it took. and what the challenges where. etc etc

might be missing something, but this sounds a little like what the bevy game engine is doing out of the box?
in reply to vae

@vae you're right, bevy does do that, however, you have to write your game using the ECS paradigm. EU5 builds on literal decades of clausewitz engine games -- not just EU4, but CK3 and vicky 3 and HoI4 etc etc.

using ECS would mean a complete rewrite, throwing almost everything out the window. given how long it took them to make EU5 (and how many issues it's had on launch...), i don't think something like that was ever in the cards.

besides, it'd likely mean throwing out (or at the very least entirely redesigning) their paradox scripting language. this would be bad for the same reason that bethesda moving away from their janky modding setup to unreal engine 5 would be bad

We're live with @gaw's stream of the very strange The MISSING. Come hang out for what looks to be a very unsettling game while we talk about game design and censorship.

"Sustainable" palm oil = #greenwashing. Instead #Boycottpalmoil every time you shop. Ingredient names: STEAR GLYC PALM LAUR are generally #palmoil. Avoid these and use your wallet as a weapon! #Boycott4Wildlife 🌴🪔🩸🚜🔥☠️🧐🙊 @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2021/02/…

in reply to Palm Oil Detectives

It's very difficult for a consumer to avoid all products with palm oil (which I'm sure most of us do when we can). Take the battle to the manufacturers and convince them to use something more sustainable, like canola.
in reply to Wordstitcher

@wordstitcher
It really isn't. Read ingredients of the product, when there is palm oil, don't buy it.

My brother writes music for table top RPGs that you can use/buy. The music is great but these games are not my area so I'm putting this out here to please share his post or follow if ye know anyone who might be interested.

En "Zona de sacrificio digital: qué implica un datacenter de IA" se examina el caso del centro de datos que OpenAI planea instalar en la Patagonia, megaproyecto presentado como símbolo de desarrollo tecnológico, pero implica un alto costo ambiental: consumo masivo de agua y energía, contaminación térmica y desplazamiento de comunidades.

Las “zonas de sacrificio digital” muestran cómo el extractivismo adopta nuevas formas bajo la etiqueta de #IA
