Open source Minnesotan, making Veridian Expanse (@VeridianExpanse). I made the Chipmunk2D physics engine, and some other fun libraries. By day, I do a lot of game adjacent work like therapeutic VR, real time drone mapping, and math for heavy machinery.

@nprofile1q... Yeah... A couple years before it became an "AI" thing I discovered the trick of using emoticons in headings to make pages a little more interesting without being a "real" designer. (ex: https://codeberg.org/slembcke/debugger.lua) Now that's considered an AI tell, and I'm kinda pissed. -_-

On the other hand, LLMs have made me realize I'm really not that good of a writer, and I'm kinda ok with that if it means people will believe only a real person could write like me. >_< Hehe

I need to go flying again and see if this makes landings that much more natural... Like my vision has always been "fine". I don't need glasses to drive (or fly). I was told as far back as high school...

The other oddity I found fascinating as a graphics programmer was that, sure it increased the readable distance of road signs by maybe 20 to 30%, but the distance I was able to discern moire in fences or railings while driving seems to be *much* further than that. I had to explain to my wife what I was so excited about. >_<

Like my vision has always been "fine". I don't need glasses to drive (or fly). I was told as far back as high school that I didn't have 20/20, and also it probably wouldn't be worth the hassle. Stuff in the distance _is_ a bit sharper and more readable, but holy cow! I didn't expect the stereo thing!

My prescription is in the 0.5 - 0.75 range, but I think it's the astigmatism that really dulls the stereo for me.
