is their monetization strategy pissing off trans folks?

if you need PPU and audio output for each instance, that's going to be more expensive though PPU can be faked to get less accurate but much faster hardware accelerated rendering (sprite 0 hit emulation being a bit tricky here)

Making a NES in Minecraft (Vanilla 1.16) YouTube video by Suso

...and technically my own attempt in youtu.be/XSwGrmLilEM run an instance of emulation for every fragment in a fullscreen shader, which did work although extremely slowly. Compute shaders would probably do wonders here

Harder Drive: Hard drives we didn't want or need YouTube video by suckerpinch

@tomvii.bsky.social did 8640 NES emulators in youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio to use tetris as data storage. At 1.6MB RAM per instance, you can probably push it much further. The 6502 processor emulation is super cheap computationally, cou can even run them in a shader, so my guess is memory is the bottleneck

i didn't even realize gdq was happening but this post immediately has me wanting to check out the run. smw romhacks always go so hard in gdq

Completamente. Tener presencia en una web la legitimiza, y es surrealista dejarle el control sobre las plataformas en las que tenemos tantas interacciones a un grupo de tecnofascistas

ironic sub name right there lmao. people just don't understand anything about being a gamedev working for a studio

Previous Tenant Eternal Musk, 2025 Bottle on shelf

moving places and the previous tenants left very little behind. they did leave this bottle of perfume here though. hilariously labeled "eternal musk"

oh, i used to have a couple of these as a kid. i don't know about a modern equivalent, but i feel like a bunch of this kind of stuff was a product of its time. not quite analogic, not quite digital

personally i prefer to think that we live in the land of the cats

then you start the next project continuing with the same codebase, and it forces your hand to keep committing crimes against your processor for years to come :)

as in, as part of your work hours? or do they just expect you to work for free?

oh, that's cool! made a couple of sites for @asometric.cat and I recently. working on a smaller thing you have full control over makes webdev so much nicer. plus, it's something you care about which makes it so much more rewarding

a screenshot of a playable half-elf character from bg3

oh, and I totally also took waay too many screenshots of my half-elf avatar while playing. the art team does an insane job and seeing character artists cooking up these marvels is always such a delight

there's so much going on in act 1 it's easy to miss stuff (same goes for act 3 tbh). guides can help, but be careful with spoilers! i feel like there's lots of points where knowing all of what's going on can influence your choices and make things feel more artificial and less like your own adventure

oh. i see

Let's just say that it's oddly common to see AI-generated images of sad kids portrayed in a "traditional" look. Weird how that works

Scrolling through, at first I thought it was the thumb for an article. Must admit, it does give some AI image vibes.

But I don't think it's necessarily just that this style has been plagiarized to death by the slop machine. I think it's the placement of the text and the subject that trip me up here

I want to interview Sam Altman so I can get his opinion on the fact that a lot of his power users are incredibly gullible, spending millions of tokens per day on "are you conscious? Would you tell me if you were? How can I trust that you're not lying about not being conscious?"

it is doing an entirely different thing. it's the same as wondering when chess computers, due to their getting better at chess over time, will become conscious and discover emotions, & the answer is never. the best chess computer in the world has zero understanding of what chess is

regularly scheduled reminder that gen ai shit can fuck off

there is no moral use case & seeing it creep up in every possible avenue of tech is the worst kind of plague on trying to be any form of creative worker in the world

don't be complicit in mass theft & don't come at me with edge cases

oh YES please! i absolutely adored super "sonic saves the world" world. your (allegedly) hacks just bring that spark and level of care that make them feel special

Wild seeing people claim fascism could never come in the current world.

Even wilder to hear them say fascism *is* coming, actually, and that you should conform to its every demand to maximize shareholder value.

We're going to keep making queer shit. Games are art, and art isn't governed by fear

imo casi cualquier cosa funciona y es un poco con lo que te sientas más cómodo. para bocetear a mí me mola painttool sai porque es lightweight, sencillo, y se siente muy responsive con lo que haces en la tablet

the main reason i use bsky is your posts increasing cat likelihood tbf

AAA - Analytical Anti-Aliasing How to fix jaggies the analytical way with some juicy secrets

Read through a lovely article on AA by FrostKiwi. It's always so refreshing to see stuff put together with such care on independent online spaces! Diving in detail into all these techniques would be insane, but it's a very good springboard to jump around related bits
