Salute to an all-time tweet

This. The tech itself is just tech.
The fact that the people in charge of it are bastard coated bastards with crunchy bastard cores to the last who have every incentive to screw us is what worries me, and if we must drown this particular baby in it's bathwater to stifle them, so be it.

vertex lighting***

new changes will now provide per-pixel lighting hopefully :D

or maybe not lol, turns out it's just a function that directly modifies a pixel in the output frame buffer: much easier to visualise once you've built other buffer objects and can pass those into that function

IDK who needs to hear this but the "you have to adjust for inflation" bit isn't the zinger you think it is.

Because you'd also have to adjust for inflation in shelter, utilities, medical, insurance, f%&(ing food - and then you'd realize purchasing power has fallen as wage growth hasn't kept up.

TV and vhs tapes

This is what going on the internet used to feel like

in need to RTFM much better :(

Of course the fragment shader, even though it takes place after rasterization works on vertices that are still in viewspace!!!!!

I've got 3D diffuse shading!!!

Experimenting with the idea of running save files on the title screen for very smooth game-loading ...

in 80 years historians will simplify the cause of WW3 to the US President being a pedophile, sorta like WW1 was archduke ferdinand getting shot

woohoo they capped all £56,000 of my Plan 2 at 6% and said fk u to the £14,000 of my masters loan!!!!

bless my adorable fiancee

I say that, on my day off, I'm gonna sit down and drink the window cleaner (a cheap and shitty alcohol we have).

she goes out and buys actual window cleaner

current problem is figuring out why cabal run, calling the function from cabal repl and running the compiled binary provide different results when it comes to generating random numbers

More teens are getting hooked on gambling. Parents say it often goes undetected The explosion of online gambling and sports betting, as well as the advertising behind it, is attracting a growing number of young people, most of them boys.

in my dictatorship, flytipping is one of the crimes punishable by public caning, stocks and fines that will cripple entire family trees at least 3 generations deep

japan playing some silky stuff sometimes, mitoma is hella busted tho

I've never felt so validated in my life

RAM is expensive, too expensive to upgrade computers. Routers are now prohibitively expensive. Games consoles go up in price instead of down with time.

Expensive oil and gas and energy in general is pushing everything up in particularly nasty ways.

It's so rough rn ffs

"The oil crisis is exactly what the net zero brigade wants"

These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."

is this related to the Radiance Cascades approach by Sannikov? I see similar themes but I'm not smart enough to confirm it :D

Spilling and pouring not yet possible, but I added the fluid motion physics. Really happy with how convincing it looks despite being just a vertex shader following a single point. It feels so sloshy! 💦

Lauren James, that touch was a work of art omg

If Sinners came out in the 90s there would be an SNES and Genesis game that would be made by totally different developers. The Genesis version youd play as Smoke and you’d have a gun and in the SNES version you play as Preacherboy and you fight vampires with your guitar

The Last Quiet Thing Your possessions came alive. Now they won't stop talking.

This is an absolutely beautiful, glorious description of the products in our lives. The things that once were simple tools that met needs, now demand relationships, have opinions, and occupy cycles of our lives.

there will be many games in the future which will naturally blow our socks off <3
