The 2026 LÖVE Jam theme is... COUNTER! Maybe your game is made of formica. Maybe you need 💧💧 to cast it. Maybe you just push button to make number go up. You have 10 days! Start your (game) engines! OBEY

Vornmath 0.4 is out. The big important feature is color handling: basic parsing, conversions, mixing, and fallback. Also: new normalizes, polar complex and vector creation, new interpolations, and table-based construction of vectors and matrices. github.com/DUznanski/vo...

@anyaustin.bsky.social The riverwalk in Ansonia, CT used to just end. A couple years back they finally put a pedestrian bridge over the rail line you can see on the right there and you can walk all the way along it without having to go back. And yes, that is the water treatment plant.

Today in nerdsnipes: if you drop a small ball down the center of a 1-meter-radius bottomless pit, how long does it take (and how far down does it go) to hit the wall? 16.147 seconds, falling 1,273 meters.

This is because of the Coriolis "force" - in a rotating reference frame, things falling toward the center appear to accelerate "forward" - "east" - proportional to their falling speed.

Today's nerdsnipe: what's the highest excess angle you can get in a triangle between line-of-sight-visible points on Earth? This is the best I found after a short search: Mt. Kenya in the north, Mt. Kilimanjaro in the south, Mt. Oloorgesalie in the west, 324km north-south: 0°1'20" excess angle.
