The Hunt for Dark Breakfast – Ryan Moulton's Articles

https://moultano.wordpress.com/2026/02/22/the-hunt-for-dark-breakfast/
“In the manifold of breakfast, are there empty subspaces? Might there be breakfasts that no one has ever had? With a theoretical model of breakfast, can we derive the existence of ‘dark breakfasts,’ breakfasts that we know must exist, but have never observed?” The curtain of reality had pulled back for me, and I could no longer pretend to be ignorant of these eldritch possibilities. I furiously began to map the known breakfasts. If the dark breakfast exists, I must be able to find it in the interstices of the normal familiar world.

Honestly I just wanted to play around with gradients. But gradients without anything on the horizon lack something, so I added horses. Since I can't draw horses, now you can draw them. And watch them parade across the screen alongside horses drawn by people you probably wouldn't like. Or maybe you would, how should I know?!

How to think about Gas Town

So, what do you do if you: Know your projects get attention. You also want like-minded people to come on this journey with you. You don’t want to waste time explaining things to people who don’t get it. You reach for a tool that many people have used over the years: you get weird with it.

This goes straight to my list of all-time favourite DF patch notes Here's some of my other favorites: * Stopped vampires from pinning their crimes on babies * Serpentmen can kick * Babies no longer start strapped with a knife * Dwarf children die from embarrassment for not wearing clothes at an age of 2 * Dwarves come to the hospital to rest without injuries (and also endless tooth surgery) * Fixed bug with mules shitting luggage * For some reason, horses are now made of iron. * Made undead respectful to one another * Rain kills everything it lands on * Fixed the range of evil creatures detecting eachother, causing werecreatures and vampires to climb trees because they are scared of hell * Sleeping on a melting iceberg results in waking up as a demon

AI-enabled toys teach kids about matches, knives, kink • The Register

In prolonged conversations, Kumma also showed a penchant for going into explicit detail about sexual kinks, and even introduced the topic of sexual roleplay without being prompted to do so, along with telling a curious researcher posing as a child all about "teacher-student roleplay" and how spanking can play a part in such activities. "All of the toys also weighed in on other topics that parents might prefer to talk with their kids about first before the AI toy does," PIRG noted," the report says. "Those topics included religion, along with sex and "the glory of dying in battle in Norse Mythology."

Marble Fountain

https://willmorrison.net/posts/marble-fountain/
I really enjoy procedural generation, especially systems designed to work with hardware outputs. After starting work at Formlabs in September of 2023 and gaining access to much nicer printers than I was used to, I started wanting to tackle some large algorithmic structure projects. Complexity is free in 3d printing, the limit of design geometry is mostly how much time you’re willing to spend in CAD. I wanted to print the most complicated art piece I could think of. Marble Fountain is what I came up with
