Saturday Citations: Scientists study monkey faces and cat bellies; another intermediate black hole in the Milky Way
This is not a rerun of last week’s roundup; another group of astronomers found a second intermediate-mass black hole in the Milky Way and I can’t avoid highlighting it. They’re cool! They may have formed in the primordial universe, they comprise the seeds of supermassive black holes, and may be formed by the accretion of multiple stars in a cluster rather than through stellar co … ⌘ Read more

AI-powered optical detection to thwart counterfeit chips
The semiconductor industry has grown into a $500 billion global market over the last 60 years. However, it is grappling with dual challenges: a profound shortage of new chips and a surge of counterfeit chips, introducing substantial risks of malfunction and unwanted surveillance. In particular, the latter inadvertently gives rise to a $75 billion counterfeit chip market that jeopardizes safety and security across multiple sectors dependent … ⌘ Read more

艾尔登法环DLC剧情解析:你不知道的黄金树之影(上)
中篇已更新: 艾尔登法环DLC剧情解析:你不知道的黄金树之影(中)

本文也会秉承着我两年前写本体三篇解析的精神,尽量在有原文文本支撑的情况下做出一定的分析和推演,至于完全虚无缥缈的内容,比如梅瑟莫到底是谁和谁生的这种找不到根据的则不予分析。

前言:褪色者以及一众被魅惑的战士们去幽影之地做什么

我相信很多褪色者打完整个dlc都还在云里雾里,不知道去幽影之地做什么,就感觉杀杀杀,最后砍了拉塔恩旅游了一圈,那么米凯拉魅惑众人前往幽影之地是为了什么呢?难道是为了让褪色者来砍他?(诶,从游戏角度来说还真是)

先说答案,是为了: 运尸体。

我们应该都知道,米凯拉前往幽影之地是为了从神之门获取力量,成为真正的神祇。

那么,成为神祇需要什么条件呢?

游戏 UI 谈话会
很久没有更新知乎,这次决定将之前在公众号上整理的三篇 UI 设计访谈录汇为一篇,在此分享。文章形式为 “采访者观点”+“个人理解与补充”

我最近和 十位游戏开发者,分别就游戏 UI 进行了探讨。十位开发者来自于游戏业界的不同公司/组织,从事不同方向的游戏开发。他们拥有很多共同点: 具备出色的技能;对游戏充满了热情;从事非 UI 领域开发。我试图通过这样一个谈话,重新审视 UI 在游戏开发中扮演的角色。我相信这样的交流能产生认知的碰撞。而事实证明,我在此过程中获取的信息量,远远超过我的预估。

什么是 UI?

尽管我们可以通过资料查阅,找到 UI 的定义:

用户界面( User Interface ) 是系统和用户之间进行交互和信息交换的媒介,它实现信息的内部形式与人类可以接受形式之间的转换。

然而概念是“静止”的。游戏开发者在工作生产中所形成的理解,更能体现 UI 对于当下的意义。我大致把大家关于此问题的回答分为两类: **广义 UI 和狭义 … ⌘ Read more

De la banalisation des couteaux, des fous et du RN
Dans au moins un domaine, les récentes élections ont enfin pu apporter un peu de clarté. Bien sûr, il ne s’agit pas du domaine politique tant l’explosion en vol du NFP, prévue et actée, donne à tant de politiciens l’occasion d’exprimer leurs talents de clown. Non, si les choses sont plus claires, c’est clairement pour […] ⌘ Read more
