are you normal or do you have a 200 GB ccache size limit

@whitequark I don't think I'm normal, no.

if I do, I might even flirt with adding snyder's batman movies to the list

There are a lot of good breakfast cereals out there but for me it's Grape-nuts Flakes.

@joshourisman Grape Nuts are an offense. Grape-nuts Flakes are something else entirely.

So, my weekend plan of refactoring my game by chopping systems up into smaller systems seems like it could dovetail with some experimentation with bevy_xpbd.

Mostly I'm interested in splitting things like "apply gravity," "adjust acceleration," and "update positions" into distinct systems. Once that's done it will make swapping out my collision code for an alternate solution a bit easier ๐Ÿคž

I have made some decent progress on my hobby project through this last Batman movie.

I've got "gravity" split out into it's own ECS component and system.

I'm not sure I'll keep it like this since I am not done untangling the overlapping concerns of player input, intended movement, collision, and applying forces like gravity.

I'm just going to keep splitting things up until they start to feel broken or too repetitive.

Probably the most painful type of refactoring is when you're not sure if you're making things better worse or just differently the same.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

Well, I think I'm going to stop fussing with what I've got and bring in xpbd. Once I add this as a collision solver, perhaps it'll inform a different arrangement of components/systems.

I can always throw the branch away if I don't like it, I guess.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

I feel a little sad to be strapping in what could be a full physics solution. I don't think that I need to use it. I think I can elect to use only the collision detection, but my pang of melancholy is I was sort of enjoying "owning" the motion.

I'll try adding 3rd party collisions only to start, but I vaguely suspect I'll end up employing xpbd's physics stuff too. Looks like it'd clean up things a good amount.

Sleeping in until 10:30am is my bliss, but also where did the day go?

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

On the other hand, it's just after 5pm and I'm pretty sleepy.

I was thinking of watching a little Batman The Animated Series on Saturday morning, but the morning has already come and gone.

Batman TAS has been rolling while I've been puttering around in the apartment today and it sort of makes me reluctant to return to the grimdark Nolan movies tonight for my hobby hacking session.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@grumpasaurus No, not especially. I think I probably watched many of these in the past 10 years or so, so it's not like my first time since the '90s.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@grumpasaurus I don't know that one by name.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@grumpasaurus I suppose one thing is this is the first time watching since the Harley Quinn show came out, and I enjoy how that show took the general look of TAS and tweaked it just enough to vaguely evoke shows like Venture Bros. I love how they adapted Clayface in HQ.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@grumpasaurus another thing I've been paying attention to is how they use color. I'm realizing a lot of the same sort of techniques they use in the show are the same as we see in pixel art. Limited palettes, primary+shadow tones with a low count of pairings, and large "open" blocks of color to minimize noise and maximize the silhouette.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@grumpasaurus buddy, yes. I went to art school. Can you tell?

Batman (1989)

Been a while since I saw this one.
There are a lot of beautiful sets and light rigs in this one.

I still think it's funny, and a bit of a shame, that the Batman costume dictated much of Keaton's performance. Why'd it have to be so hard to move around in??

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

The Dark Knight (2008)

Time for this one. Everybody loves this one.

I can't help but wonder how much Ledger's death fueled the popularity. For me, Nicholson was a more fun Joker. Hamill too, tbh.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

Last leg for Nolan. This one is the most forgettable Batman movie there is.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@SnoopJ I really feel bad for everyone involved. I hope everyone got paid.

onelson,
@onelson@mastodon.social avatar

@bitprophet @SnoopJ could I ever be the Socrates of trash cinema? Maybe.

Batman v Superman (2016)

Terrible. I said I wasn't going to do it, but I'm doing it.
