Demonstrating that you can filter data to smooth out the numbers, but whether it’s weather data, stock market information or Taylor Swift, the math is the same! David Domminney Fowler takes us through it.

As per usual, Avilo beautifully articulates an affirmative vision of leftism and dives deep into the history of contemporary American fascism. Du Bois, I will get to step back into the sun again.

Circles and hyperbolas are, in a sense, surprisingly similar shapes. In this video, we explore the mystery behind their strange connection and step into a world of “rotation” and “angle” with meanings quite different from the usual ones. The key to this story lies in hyperbolic functions, which share many properties with trigonometric functions.

This video was really helpful in understanding the hyperbolic functions! Was happy to see that a connection I saw to spacetime is actually an application of them.

I loved Heiyanko Alien off a Game Boy multicart an a kid and revisit it from time to time and always have a good time; I never knew that it actually predated Lode Runner and Pac-Man.

It plays as a clever combination of both. My favorite (and most played) maze-chase game is Clu-Clu Land, which I didn’t grow up with, I found it ten years back. Other beloved maze-chase games I still replay are Power Racer, Tasmanian Story, Devil World, and the aforementioned Pac-Man and Lode Runner. All of them I did play all the time back then but with Clu-Clu Land I’ve stacked up so many more plays since I love it so much. Just love the cozy fish vibes and the deliberately mindmeldy controls.


For the PlayStation, here’s an ambitious fix of some issues with FFIX’s fighting system.


Here’s a remix of FFVI that’s supposedly okay to start with even if I haven’t played FFVI before. Fixes some bugs and makes the game more thinky, supposedly.


I’m playing the DS remake of Final Fantasy IV right now (belatedly after getting a big spoiler from the Magic card for Cecil) and it made me curious to check out if the SNES versions had any fun romhacks and yes!

This turns FFIV into an open world game. But I’d better finish the story normally first.

Ben Sparks explores hidden depths of a seemingly simple game.

Tic-tac-toe on a magic square. Hella neat, and hammers home how important representation is in mathematics.

Ed Copeland goes deep as we explore how we cracked an infinite sum relating to black holes.

Lots of great techniques.


Ed Copeland continues from the main video

Lots of great techniques.


Not really sure where this video came from, I came downstairs in the morning and it was already fully uploaded. Dan doesn’t know anything about it either. Doesn’t seem like it’ll get me in trouble though so F it, we’ll let it rock. Weirdly enough it sounds like he’s listening to Shoegazer Watched The Stars from NMH2 for most of the video. With a brief appearance by 1811 from Lost Judgement.

Absolutely hilarious.
