smells like puzzles in here

woah i didnt know the JWST was parked at a lagrange point! humans are so smart sometimes.

wow @ the entire surrounding unicode range

russians just read it as proof of how cool they are

i take the train there just for The Experience eventho its easier to just order online

Hi. I'm still looking for work! I'm a games generalist programmer that has done tons of different things over the past 15 years:
- game design & engine development
- audio programming for music games & board games
- graphics programming & tools engineering
- ui work

someone must have a lead for me?

What is this with everybody

it's fascinating how little everyone seems to care about humans going back to the moon for the first time in half a century today.

It's tomorrow now but I released a game yesterday! Check it out!

until i die, i will read "last century" as the 19th century 👴🏻

Bilbo Baggins looking down at his phone screen, the phone shows him asking ChatGPT “After all, why not? Why shouldn’t I keep it?” ChatGPT responds “You're absolutely right - you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself”

kind of surprised there haven't been more games using Gaussian Splatting. seems like a great fit for first-person exploration games set in the real world.

online publications really need to figure out a better way to monetize their content than subscriptions. i want to support them, but i'm not signing up for an indefinite monthly subscription just to read one article on a website i've never read before. i would however gladly pay 50 cents once!

Live from GDC... 1989! 21 hours of vintage talks from early gaming luminaries | Video Game History Foundation We've digitized the recordings from one of the earliest GDC conferences, available for the first time in 37 years.

The Video Game History Foundation's newly digitized GDC 1989 tapes are rad. Talks with Dani Bunten! Trip Hawkins blasting Nintendo's licensing policies! A *retrospective* panel for gaming in 1980! Absolute gold that this stuff survived and is accessible for everyone now.

From the analog community on Reddit: I tried sprocket photos in a mamiya 645 Explore this post and more from the analog community

i dont know what it is about sprocket photos that does it for me, but damn

a little progress. it was important to me that the robot has ass cheeks

i would buy this on a t-shirt

thats kind of a good idea. just preprocess all meshes in the driver and decimate them to <1000 polys, ignore all shader instructions and render the texture in the first slot directly out with linear filtering, fuck it.

Give me the cheap GPU that renders everything like a PS1 era game, with no texture filtering and wobbly affine mapped UV coordinates.

for sure. if you can control the diffusion model especially, the modding possibilities are infinite, but it’s silly to have this be a toggle in every game and use a black box model trained on god knows what.

i dont know, im kind of excited about the idea of replaying old games with a realtime diffusion filter transforming them into completely different experiences. i think calling it dlss and equating it to antialiasing is not the right move though.

diffusion running on top of a base reference mesh was always going to be the future of realtime 3d graphics, but as with most things AI, it should be a model trained by the people who make the render, not generic yassification slop

i hate how Discord can't make up its mind about whether it is an asynchronous mode of communication or realtime.

oh shit, there's Shakespeare manga!?

i've been coming to GDC for almost 20 years and i almost never go to the actual conference. GDC is just the friends, the park and the burritos.
