This week, we discuss some new VR Tech, specifically the Pimax 5k (reviewed on Craft Computing here), and computer hardware because Rett is going to CES next week! Then we deep dive into things to consider when developing a game character. We read this article which inspired us to think about what makes a character stand out. Let us know your approach when designing a character!

This week, Rett and Taylor reminisce about their old metal CDs, books, history and more. Taylor found a bug in his pathfinding code, and explains his perspective on learning design patterns and the importance of building good software. Thanks to Tim Ruswick for his wise words this week: Quality is better than Quantity.

This book carries us through the history of the United States as seen through the eyes of the indigenous peoples that this nation displaced, discarded, and continually degrade. Though rather dry, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz delivers an unflinching narrative that is seething with both passion and condemnation .
If you are interested in another account of American history, then look no further.

Part three of our discussion of The Diary of a Young Girl. Anne Frank’s diary persists to this day as one of the most enduring books of the twentieth century. Written while she and her family hid from the Nazis. Her writing comes alive off the page and beckons friendship with every word. Her life was tragically short, but full of more fire, wit, and charm than any person twice her age. Her name encapsulates the greater horror of the holocaust to all, but after meeting Anne through this book it is sure to evoke a sense of loss for a dear friend.
Danny will be back next time!

We discuss Between the World and Me to mark Black History Month. This book is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt at imparting a lifetime worth of contemplation, revelation, and experience to his adolescent son in the form of a deeply personal, emotional, and unflinching letter. Coates expertly weaves between personal experience, historical recollection, and journalism as he peels back the layers of being black in America.
And please join us in giving Danny a warm welcome into the folds as a new co-host of our show!

In this episode we discuss Hiroshima by John Hersey which follows the tragic events of August 6th, 1945 through the eyes of six survivors. It was published in The New Yorker in August 1946 and was put to print as a book shortly after, with a revision after John Hersey followed up with his survivors. It is a personal, moving, and sometimes horrific, peek into the very heart of an event that shook humanity and shaped the course of human history.
As a side note, keep an eye out for a special release in tandem with Black History Month, in which we read and discuss Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. And our new co-host Danny will be joining us!
