    Thanks, I haven't paid much attention since dropping it after the first few episodes so I didn't know that it's more self-aware now. That's good to hear.

    In case the title makes anyone think Nathan Fillion will be on Game Changer, that's not what this is announcing - an episode of The Rookie will take place at Dropout on the Game Changer set, featuring Sam Reich, Vic Michaelis, Jacob Wysocki, and Zac Oyama (Edit: and Anna Garcia!).

    Sounds fun and will undoubtedly be a lot of publicity for Dropout. I'm a little surprised Dropout wants to be associated with a police show, though? Maybe it's different nowadays, but the early episodes of The Rookie that I've seen definitely gave me a "copaganda" vibe.

    I don't have anything particularly constructive to add as I haven't worked in 3D much at all, but thanks for sharing! Always interesting to hear about other people's experiences with this stuff. That's wild that fading in a mesh in 3D is so much more complex than fading in a texture in 2D.

    +1 for both GodotShaders and Kenney. The former helped a lot when I was venturing into writing shaders for the first time, and the latter is just an excellent part of the indie community.

    If you end up making anything cool, please share!

    I found this the other day: gameaccessibilityguidelines.com

    A collaborative effort between a group of studios, specialists and academics, to produce a straightforward developer friendly reference for ways to avoid unnecessarily excluding players, and ensure that games are just as fun for as wide a range of people as possible.

    Looks very helpful and good-quality! I don't need many accommodations myself though so I can't vouch for most of the information it provides.

    I was thinking the same thing! It's awesome that Godot is starting to have bigger names like this attached to it.

    Fascinating. That is really not where I thought it was going. I'm going to have to think about that one for a bit. Thanks for sharing.

    Fun! There's also something cool about seeing a bunch of Tildes names in a different context but all still together. I like it.

    Sideload Tubular or PipePipe on Android as an alternative Youtube player without ads. Some functionality is broken so it's not a perfect replacement.

    FWIW, I've bounced around between Android YouTube clients for a bit and am currently settled on NewPipe, which is great. This is anecdata, but it's extremely rare that I have any issues with it at all, and when I do, simply closing and re-opening the app often fixes them. IME it's very much "it just works", no fiddling with host selection when one stops responding for whatever reason. And you can customize it to only show you your subscription feed and nothing else.

    From what I stumbled across on Reddit and Tumblr, it does sound fascinating. And I think I have just enough context to understand what you mean when you say (some of?) the main characters are insane!

    I have heard that one! It's great, I agree. I didn't know it was Wendy Cope though - I have to admit I unfortunately know nothing about her or her work except that she wrote "The Orange" (and now I know this one is hers as well). Any recommendations?

    A quick few internet searches tell me that this might be a reference to something called "Nona the Ninth"? I am sorry to report that I am unfamiliar.

    Should we change the title to match the article? My initial interpretation of the post title was that patients would have to pay for the treatment themselves if it didn't work, not that the drug companies would have to return the money they received from Medicaid. The article title is still a little unclear but I do think it's better.

    Wow. As someone who is vegetarian-curious, this might be the push I need to never eat beef again.

    Got it. I appreciate you passing them along. I'll take a look at my local library network and see if I can get my hands on them.

    what a good therapist can bring to the table is giving you structure and (...) perceived deadlines on some of the assignments in the book

    Yep, this would definitely help. The assignments might still get done at the last minute a lot of the time, but they would actually get done. Any kind of "accountability partner" at all is useful. I rarely go out of my way to set up relationships like that, though, likely due to a fear of disappointing the other person and embarrassing myself. I think I also don't want to burden others with the responsibility of compensating for my inability to function. Which I know isn't the correct way to understand the arrangement, but it's how it feels. I'll need to get over that, I guess.

    Thanks for your encouragement!
