I have short cameo in this video. Very fun idea to scrutinize the infrastructure of open-world video games.

Doing a little research: Is there an equipment cabinet or control panel that has you burning with curiosity about what's inside? Share a photo, link, or description of the equipment enclosures that captivate your curiosity. (And if you have inside knowledge, I may want to chat!)

In a previous video, I collaborated with Dan Shiffman @TheCodingTrain to create a Horizontal Directional Drilling simulator (in the spirit of silly sims like EuroTruck or Goat Simulator). The project is open source, and a few people have been working really hard to add features to the game. It has been so exciting to watch it develop into a really fun little simulator. You can play the current version here: al-digital.no/Directional-Boring/
And if you write code recreationally, feel free to contribute to the project here: github.com/CodingTrain/Directional-Boring

I didn't mention in the book announcement video, but I also created some t-shirts of my favorite ✨innocuous parts of the constructed environment✨. I love the art so much! We start shipping at the end of the month (store.practical.engineering).
