I am not sure I can overstate how useful this tool is. Not sure if your game is paging out GPU-memory to system-memory? Well now you know :)

A glittery black star sits on a sparkling background that blends from orange to purple. Streaks of yellow, purple and blue stream out below the star, and the text at the centre of the star reads “Neon Supernova”. The orange silhouette of a pair of drumsticks sits in the top left corner, a blue flying V guitar sits in the top right, and a yellow lightning bolt sits beside the subtitle “A Glam Rock One-Shot for the Cypher System” below the star. In the top right corner, a white logo reads “Compatible with the Cypher System”.
I wrote a TTRPG adventure and it’s out now!! ✨
‘Neon Supernova’ is a glam rock sci-fi one-shot for the Cypher System 👩🎤🎸💫💅

Feels like I’m signing a god damn petition!
Was the first to sign a card once so I wrote a message and they all said I made them look bad. This is the correct way damnit!
There’s many things I like, nay adore about Finnish culture. But something I refuse to get around is when signing birthday, get well cards etc they just write their name.
No message, just their name.
Truly mind boggling stuff

Ever wrote spin-locks or had to debug them?
I have, and I got tired of seeing (and writing) crappy ones, so I did a real investigation this time.

Segway boom could falter without wider adoption, inventor Dean Kamen warns
A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
Slides are now available for my GPC 2025 talk with @phammer.bsky.social on Variable Rate Compute Shaders in Doom The Dark Ages static.graphicsprogrammingconference.com/public/2025/...
My "How to Vulkan in 2026" @vulkan.org #Vulkan guide is now publicly available at www.howtovulkan.com
I still consider it a preview, though I'm mostly happy with it and only plan on changing minor things and incorporating some feedback.
The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks
One of my favourite games of the year and a stellar first release for the studio
Highly recommend picking it up
