To keep up to date on the Russian situation, note that the outlawed Medusa news outlet is running a live channel here: https://meduza.io/en/live/2023/06/23/yevgeny-prigozhin-s-coup?utm_source=email&utm_medium=briefly&utm_campaign=2023-06-24 It beats reverting to the bird site.

(Following #russia on Mastodon is a decent source of news, btw.)

"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.

That was fun. Had all the windows open because it's hot, when the thunderstorm hit and suddenly everything in the house is going airborne. Got to spend less than a minute wrestling with one recalcitrant window & got drenched.

Always keep coming back to this video. Such a powerful lesson, and one that I'm still practicing with to this day.

This is one of the more impressive bits of absolutely insane overdoing it that I've ever seen: (ab)using Blender's raytracing engine to make a simulated film camera, with simulated real optics, to take simulated photographs of scenes.
I can't even imagine how much GPU time went into these, but it's a delightful labor of love. Or maybe just as a way to keep warm during the long, cold Canadian winter.

The thing about this is that it's not actually a method for generating islands, specifically. Just blocks of 19 hex tiles. It's simple enough that bodies of water are actually out of scope!
It's a good reminder that you can still possibly get interesting results even if you drop seemingly essential elements.
