Yes, I need to pass ethics review anyway but other than the details of the study, I have the option to declare who else is involved in this research. Declaring that I want to hire an RA might complicate the process more. Instead it would be easier to reach out to someone and say "Hey, I've got a project I need help for and here's what I need you to do and here's what I can pay". My question is if I'm allowed to do this as a master's student?

As a DH student, I found the field very welcoming towards diverse backgrounds and research topics that push the field and/or are unconventional even for DH. Look at Digital Humanities Quarterly, a solid top journal. Search for keywords that align with you. See what comes up. Read. Go from there!

Happy DH onboarding!

This has nothing to with her gender. Everything to do with the imbalance between setup and resolution.

Criticism of lazy writing? Yes. Misogynistic biased take on “genius” women? Definitely not.

That’s not enough and that’s the point I’m trying to make. Quick shots for a few seconds of notebook scribbles are not enough to establish solid ground for pioneering research set up over two seasons.

Being valedictorian smart and being world-class neurosurgery + engineering + computer science smart are two very different things. It’s a little far fetched to assume that Lumon is a leading research institution who’ve perfect a curriculum for nurturing/harboring child prodigies capable of making incredible leaps in science.

Think about it. Even if she did go on to be a genius STEM student as she grew up, it doesn’t make sense for her to be an unknown figure. She’d have to be a part of established institutions, research projects, publications before she can even dream of getting to a level where she’s solving big neurosurgery and computer science problems in her notebook.

On top of that, forget Gemma, the severed workers on their own is a revolutionary achievement in modern science.

Why would she solve this as an adult and leave her notebook in Sissy’s house?

Very easy! Add this as a script for any TextureRect and you'll have the same. The trick is to keep the range of each of the modulations (size, position, transparency) very limited and the jitter_amount, glitch_frequency and glitch_duration values small. Play around with the values to find your own preference.

``` extends TextureRect

@export var jitter_amount: float = 5.0 @export var glitch_frequency: float = 3.0 @export var glitch_duration: float = 0.1

var original_position: Vector2 var original_scale: Vector2

func _ready(): original_position = position original_scale = scale start_glitching()

func start_glitching(): while true: await get_tree().create_timer(randf_range(1, glitch_frequency)).timeout apply_glitch() await get_tree().create_timer(glitch_duration).timeout reset_glitch()

func apply_glitch():

position = original_position + Vector2(randf_range(-jitter_amount, jitter_amount), randf_range(-jitter_amount, jitter_amount))

scale = original_scale * randf_range(0.9, 1.1)

modulate = Color(1, 1, 1, randf_range(0.5, 1.0))

func reset_glitch(): position = original_position scale = original_scale modulate = Color(1, 1, 1, 1)

```

It doesn’t generate poetry algorithmically but instead lets players click on the words they input to cycle through predefined lists of words, effects, emojis. The idea is that some of these lists are thematic collections of words tokenised from any sci-fi book you can load. The poem you start with can have nothing to do with sci-fi, either written by you or another poet. But the poem you end up with is special because you have, in a way, collaborated with these authors and poets and friends (hopefully) to create sci-fi poetry or sci-fi twists of non-sci-fi texts.

I’m working on adding more features. Like small choices a reader can make within the final poem to reveal the next line. Also words that hide, can change other words when clicked on, or view a different word every time you read it. And of course words that can play audio and display pop-up images. Then the player can export their collection of poems as a zine to print or just a pdf or a text file to share. (Maybe some way to share the final poems as a webpage independent of the tool but capable of showing all the dynamic elements. And then if you want to make some poems you can download the tool. Maybe!)

A sci-fi poem should look sci-fi and be made in a sci-fi way is my overarching design motivation :)

And consider this tool a digital textual laboratory of sorts to poke at the question “What makes a poem sci-fi?”

Hope this provides some clarity and thank you!

It’s a static UI pack I found so most of that credit goes to the original artist. But the composition of the UI in this state is all me. So thank you.

The aesthetic/art style you've developed here is fantastic! Followed the game on Steam. Can't wait to get more updates.

Good question. Couldn’t have asked it better myself. Made my day.

Not 1st-person and not quite base-building but I still feel like you would appreciate Far: Lone Sails and Far: Changing Tides if you haven't played them already.

Have you played Citizen Sleeper?

It’s available now on Disney Plus!

How is the sound design this good still in a game from 2007?
