So complex or quaternion I imagine? 'i' it is!

This has always been one of my favorite short stories. For those who might not know the reference: https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~gamvrosi/thelastq.html

For some further mind fuckery on the subject, I highly recommend this video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkH1citHtgs. Dude never misses in interesting content.

I wasn't expecting to be sad in this thread but there it is. "I am the very model of a scientist Salarian..."

Seeing these guys in concert had been a blast each time. That said, I'm curious how the new lineup will be.

I really enjoyed the spaceship game Solar Winds, but would occasionally run into a wild bug where rotating the ship to a specific angle would launch it in a negative x direction.

Likewise, I wish another game would work a magic creating/ programming-lite system like Legend/Four Crystals Of Trazere(US). It was way too fun crafting wild magical spells from the basic ingredients.

Good ol' Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). Discovered it with bananas as a child, apple as a teen, and the following as a young adult: peaches, pears, apricots, kiwifruit, cherries, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, to name a few. It was weird how each fruit would effectively just flip a switch randomly during my development.

That said, cooking the fruit denatures the proteins, so eg. apple pie is great!

Typically for this I've done some wrapper type around a vector storage for the node data (a wish.com arena, if you will). Links are just some abstraction around indices.

It's kind of annoying to write initially, but it was easier than learning unsafe stuff. To do it correctly & most efficiently though, one would likely need unsafe code.
