I built a replica of the Lonely Mountain in Minecraft for a book report on the Hobbit in grade 8. At the time I felt bad about not being able to do the scale right, but seeing this illustration from Tolkien himself corrects those feelings. It wasn't perfect, but it looked quite similar to this

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

So, for the non video game nerds: the top 3 hardest things to do in video games is 1. animate changing clothing 2. handing one item to another char 3. Lying under covers in bed. So from a technical perspective, this weird ass Strip Mahjong game is like writing Beethoven's 9th, but for gooning.

Think I might have to assemble a list of Bevy crates and build a quick start template for 3D games. Too tempting to try to build everything myself, only to find a crate that does exactly what I need.
⚠️ A few hours ago, a malicious crate was discovered on crates.io which spread as a dependency of `arrayref` and some other crates, likely due to compromised credentials. The affected versions have been deleted. For details and how to see if you are impacted, see: blog.rust-lang.org/2026/08/20/s...

Below-average and average scorers for homework and exams appear at about the same frequency regardless of AI usage. The high homework scorers using AI, however, are not replicating that success at test time.
