The heated debate these past few days over whether it's 「于是人」 or 「于斯人」 got me thinking about my grandma again. I really want to go back to my hometown and dig through my old books, find my middle-school Chinese textbook, and see what the original text actually was — seeing is believing, after all. My grandma is in Jiangyan, and all my childhood textbooks are there too; she kept them all at home. Sigh, but sadly they're gone now, one after another. The home is gone, my grandma is gone. Those connections have been severed beyond repair.

Dreamed I took a train away from the cemetery 🪦. Along the way, so many people were burying their loved ones. Thinking that I would never have Grandma again, I cried myself awake. The greatness of a generation and its sacrifice for its children and grandchildren—years from now, their children's children should know it and remember it too. In a world of blooming flowers, the stars guard the sea and never leave. One day we too will walk toward you and turn into stars. Where our light cones intersect, we will meet again.

Left-behind children and a hyper-competitive society — fate is always pressing down on you. Even with life yanking you around by the balls, you can still choose to fight for it. This is what it act...

A goal-based vector field pathfinding method that helps agents navigate efficiently by generating a heat map and a vector field. It walks through the algorithm's three steps: generating a heat map that describes distance along the path, creating a vector field pointing toward the goal, and using the vector field to steer agents' movement. How to solve the local optimum problem, and how subdividing the grid optimizes path computation to make pathfinding more stable and efficient.

I've got an old project, and to solve the problem of Google requiring 64-bit support, I was getting ready to upgrade cocos a bit — then found out it wasn't necessary. Supposedly you just need to compile a 64-bit build. I vaguely remember deleting arm64-v8a back then. Google's guide: https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/64-bit#test\_your\_app\_on\_64-bit\_hardware describes three cases — building with Gradle, with CMake, with ndk-build — and they're all different. From my testing, cocos2dx turns out to be ndk-build mode, which depends on the PROP\_APP\_ABI setting in gradle.properties.

“Navigator, ahead three!” -This is only the beginning. In my lifetime, I'll be waiting for that “Natural Selection, ahead four” moment that leaves me in tears.

I’ve spent a great deal of time thinking about video games — far more than just from concept to completion. Whether making them, playing them, or taking part in community discussions, I’ve realized there are some things I want to share. Game design is both organic and emotional, and structural and rational. The more I’ve dealt with the process and the results, the more I’ve realized that there are hidden core values in game design, values tightly bound to the six human needs. The more a game aligns with these values/needs, the better a game it is, subjectively speaking. Level 1: Needle in a HaystackAs you probably know, an enormous number of video games ship across many platforms, and the number grows every day — and every day it gets harder to find a game you’ll love. On Steam, for example, games are sorted by “Featured”, “Popular”, “New Releases” and “Recently Updated”. Dig deeper into the search options and you’ll find genres, user tags, ratings, user ratings, and unique features and categories. That’s all well and good, but it’s absolutely not as good as just telling me which game I’ll love. At best, it’s a careful guess.
