I'm trying different methods to place buildings. It started with just random placement, then random placement + random movement, then random placement + gravitation towards the edges, but none of these methods gave great results.
I need to ensure that buildings with the strongest constraints also appear at the coordinates where they're permitted instead of some random buildings whose weak constraints allowed the same. So now I'm working on a score function.

I'm on a very good track with the new map generation algorithm. This building has the constraint that it can only appear next to sidewalks, and I haven't added any other buildings yet.

@nytpu Yes, the tendency to just barely attach them to the body (if at all!) is what I meant. Lack of a propatagium is also a good one.
So many artists do this for what I assume are aesthetic reasons, but I just can't stop thinking about how that dragon isn't flying anywhere.

fedi, "couch protests", etc. @Jain Hmm... I wonder of that's even possible. What title would you give a thread if most posts don't even have one? neofox_think

fedi, "couch protests", etc. @Jain @pixel

I hate to just drop a link and go "read this", but I already explained the things I was about to explain on my website and there isn't much of a point in repeating all of that here.

re: fedi, "couch protests", etc. @megan @pixel Do you know all of your followers and what they may or may not like at all times? Every single one of them? I don't.

The automatic pop-in video player of the Masto frontend is very nice.

Oh, it still crashes. Holy fuck, what kind of memory leak is that? I set 8gb

The problem with a Node app crashing does seem to be a RAM constraint thing, but it's not Docker enforcing this constraint but rather Node. Lifting the limit with --max-old-space-size seems to have helped.
If Node writes memory dumps upon crashing, it might also explain why the container runs out of disk space after a while. If not, then idk. Let's hope that fixed it anyway.
