23-Tex: The Truncated 600-Cell

23-Tex: The Truncated Hexacosichoron

One of the regular 4-dimensional polytopes, or polychora, is called the 600-cell. If you truncate it, you get the figure above, called “23-tex” for short. Its unit cells are 600 truncated tetrahedra, as well as 120 icosahedra. As shown above, you see only the cells, with space between them so you can see them, and vertices and edges rendered invisible. If the vertices and edges are shown,…

Like I imagine him as explicitly wanting to make "art games" and succeeding in terms of standards internal to the genre, but then also thinking for some reason that there has to be poetry and philosophy in them for them to be art, which is ultimately counterproductive to the development of game design as an art form.

whoa i bet that’s it, it came on pretty recently and it’s all old radiators. just sucked the dust off the outsides though if it’s stuff coming from inside the pipes there’s probably not much i can do.

polychora replied to your post:i don’t know how to feel about the fact that i’m...

I took a ~*very formative*~ marine biology class in college where I a) learned this distinction as well as plankton vs. nekton and b) became a vegetarian for naive “save the planet” reasons, so I don’t think you have anything to be embarrassed about

ahhhhhhhh EXCELLENT i forgot about nekton!
