I feel Idiocracy was too optimistic.

I don't normally care how something looks, but I find Severance to be one of the most strikingly gorgeous things "on film" I've ever seen. And I absolutely love the delivery and vocabulary whenever Kier or work related topics are spoken of, it tickles my brain in delightful ways.

The new Captain America fractures a baddie's arm early on in the movie, and then jokes about it with his buddies when backup arrives. I guess that tracks.

Prototyping a game before adding audio is all fine and dandyliony... until you add a single sound, then everything else seems so dead and empty. Then you add more sounds until only obscure gaps exist. And then you hate hearing the same sounds over and over and turn them all off.

Streaming platforms realllly don't understand that if you've watched up the credits, that you're done with that episode/movie now, you don't need to keep it in the "continue watching" queue. Now, if there was an achievement at the end like with some games...

Is "The Accountant" part of the Marvel Universe? We got us some Daredevil, some Punisher, and good ol' J. Jonah Jameson

If the MSI 5090 is almost €1 per gram, that puts it on par with the cost of silver by weight. So you've just bought 2820grams of silver, what's the first game you try out on your new shiny purchase?

I think a lot of issues could be solved if we went back to dial-up modems and init strings from hell.

It's mooga cold today, I might need to get winter flip flops. Could also leave the trash to get old enough to grow legs to take itself out. Trying to work on a treasure hunt game where -as the creator- I can't easily guess where the treasure is, it's more tricksy than I thought.

Having to go to an account and cause "engagement" just so you can mute it feels really counterintuitive to discouraging that kind of content. It'd be so much nicer if you could mute from the feed, instead of just blocking. There's a Github issue open for it, but not much movement, c'moon...

It's always so great wanting to prototype something and then someone (usually @kenney.bsky.social) releases assets that let you instantly try it out. While not perfect, "Prefab Painter 2" is free and very handy for scattering random prefabs on a surface, too.

Decided to use #DOScember as an excuse to show off my little Unity programming sandbox. It's less a game and more chaos turned into code. There's something so freeing about just coding jank without a care in the world. It's my sack o' gameplay mechanics. youtu.be/zrqacsbQcnI

The contractor that got the job for installing the same door in every single vessel and building in the entire Mass Effect universe... must be LOADED. I wonder what the firmware update process looks like when a vulnerability is found, hmm...

Here's a recording of my Tiny Glade presentation from the Graphics Programming Conference 2024: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jusW... It's an any% speedrun of our GPU-driven rendering, shadows, global illumination, water, and DoF, involving a few weird tricks.

I don't need OS CoPilot integration, I just want something to go, "hey bud, for the past 3 years you've clicked 'Sleep', but tonight you clicked 'Shutdown', did you mean to do that, or did you misclick because they're so close to each other? I'll auto-shutdown in a minute if you don't respond"

The supervillain takes out a shiny metal device with beautifully inset tasteful LEDs, presses a delightfully clicky switch, and suddenly the hero falls to the ground, their powers no longer working. "You see this? I had it made at the sponsor of today's event, PCBWay! They have all sorts of..."

Blender: SHIFT-D to duplicate Unity: CTRL-D to duplicate Explorer: SHIFT-D to delete guess who learnt something new after a day of gamedev. Trust me Microsoft, the DEL key is enough. Now, about ALT-P and CTRL-P to play...

Last night I was testing my prototype in VR when the power went out. I thought I had died. Going from VR to staring at the now brighter stars in absolute silence was a good exchange, though.

I did some babysteps towards making a physical Winamp, with the the first goal being the song position slider. It works okaaay, but I think I'll have to redo it with something smarter. youtu.be/GjmFbgqFeMQ
