essential system files

I love-hate shitposting on Reddit because it can be funny to people, but it also has the unintended taste of yet another "number go up" thing.

currently making a game* where you have to solve programming exercises, but your types and functions and methods have to be unlocked like a metroidvania

Game Boy Advance was released 24 years ago today

HISTORY MATTERS. Thanks to a recent acquisition, we now have primary source evidence that Wally Bear's father really isn't wearing pants, and it isn't just an artifact of the NES' palette limitations. We could never have unearthed this without the support of generous donors just like you.

I don't use Apple products but the new glass aesthetic is niiice. Can't not think the nostalgia for late-2000s Windows design informed this though lol #WWDC2025

landscape pieces

cats don't obey in advance and no one else should, either

is art i draw am excited for everyone to play deltarune!!

OBS bicubic scaling really sucks. It's possible to do bicubic scaling right but this is not it

procedural swirl warp function used as a dynamic animating 'normal map' vector to adjust the uv coordinate used for fetching SCREEN_TEXTURE for a distortion shader. every shader no matter how small, can be an ingredient remixed into another shader #shaders

Reminder

i was reading the first issue of Linux Format and had to do a double take. as far as i can tell, this "CD ROM" logo is made up just for this ad page

bro deltarune chapter 4 sucks

had an epiphany a few days ago. tangent-space raymarched chains on a line ribbon mesh, now with depth writing! it relies on a magic number to not look bad, but it's working i guess!

color type that causes a fatal runtime error when all components are identical, as shades are not colors

in the 1990s videogame magazines had ads like this but it was literally exactly like this complete with the food and jeans leaving you trying to figure out what game it was advertising, then at the bottom in fine print it'd say aero the acrobat and something jarringly sexist for absolutely no reason

The missing puzzle pieces in the Wikipedia logo represent articles that were deleted due to not meeting the Notability Guidelines.

One of my comfort websites... i just click around and read and say "woaaaa that's words" advances.realtimerendering.com

If you have ever felt that 200cc in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe is much faster than it should be, your suspicions are correct. Based on the formula followed by the other engine classes, the speed the game pretends is 200cc is actually 415cc instead.

custom particle processor with special emission mesh data. selects randomized spawn positions on tris, then fetches uv mapped albedo texture texel on the tri, + inherits src tri lighting +bakes it into the particle at spawn time. makes a neat stylized effect #godotengine #gamedev #wip #vfx #rtvfx
