Good gos they’ve made the Windows post-update OOBE rehash even more fucking obnoxious. It tries to sell me 365 - which I already FUCKING OWN - and repeatedly asks to change my settings.

Facebook app actually decided fuck you, you’re not allowed to hide the Reels tab anymore. The hidden option is grayed out when I hit the drop down.

As much as CMake absolutely infuriates me in a hundred different ways, I have to concede it is at least a real functional build system that is fairly complete. This is unlike MSBuild, which is like a parody of a build system meant to mock those foolish enough to depend on it.

So are the capital D Democrats doing anything yet or

Honestly, my life in startup land is proving to be much more stable than most of my friends working at large established companies that can supposedly afford to think long term.

Fuck generative AI and all the game developers using it, btw

I finally traded in my iPhone 12, haven’t felt compelled to upgrade at any point but the carrier promotion was solid and I was tired of Lightning cables. Five generations seems to be a nice sweet spot for feeling like a worthwhile upgrade.

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

“I see one is missing a rear wing, did they make contact into T1? I’m concerned the papaya rules were not respected by their previous drivers.”

As I'm coming up on 1000 hours on Hitman World of Assassination, I could really use a new game with the same general vibe. Meaning it's not overly dependent on precision or reaction times, more planning oriented. But not an outright puzzle game. Accepting suggestions.

Well. Parenthood is quite the new adventure I’ve inflicted upon myself.

I am currently fascinated by how every single light in this hospital room (5 by my count) brings its own unique flavor of unpleasant depression.

Dude what is happening with Deus Ex, i am so out of this loop

I’m probably going to buy a new iPhone soon, but I hate that I’m doing it. IMO Apple has made nearly everything about the platform and OS worse to use, and fallen far behind Android’s other capabilities. But I see no way to get an Android without welding my data to Google and I just won’t do it.

Awesome to see GN get over this bullshit abuse by the entirely ethics-free assholes at @bloomberg.com

I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code. (And yes it's really been 10 years 👴). therealmjp.github.io/posts/ten-ye...

I wasn’t planning on becoming an Orange fanboy, but this cab is thunder. Kinda makes a mockery of my Marshall 1960 actually. It’s the PPC 212 V, which is loaded with a pair of Celestion *Neo* Creambacks and a very relaxed 44 lbs of total weight.

Rec Room was fun, but had to lay off a lot of folks, so I am looking for the next opportunity. If you are looking for a senior graphics coder to solve all your rendering problems on any platform, either remote or in the Seattle area, I'd love to hear from you. Picture is purely for attention.

OneDrive is such a fucking piece of shit my god

“there was no ADHD in my generation” his generation:

Couldn't help myself

Really happy to see this starting to spread in our industry, hope there’s more to come! hard-drive.net/hd/video-gam...

The slow realization that Pokémon is much, much bigger today than it ever was in my childhood is absolutely baffling. We considered a phenomenon 20 years ago. I like it, but how strange.

Happy to see that the new game from @mattnava.bsky.social, Sword of the Sea, is finally out today! youtu.be/BE-BD1OKk8k

Good news @tomforsyth.bsky.social, looks like you'd considered a financial genius

I can’t believe how much I love this cute little Orange guitar amp. Just have it sitting on top of this cheap 1x12 with a Celestion V-Type and it sounds amazing.

Man, the Broadway version of Aladdin is SO much better than either movie, and I feel like nobody knows this. It's one of my favorite musicals, one of only a couple shows I've been to more than once. youtu.be/FpT94oylSaU

Sometimes I reflect on confusing stuff that happened in the past, and it’s years later I realized OH! People who don’t like you will lie about you to authority figures to try and get you in trouble, even when the lies are stupid and easily disproven.

Every 2-3 months, Windows gets an update that retriggers OOBE, which is the startup thing that hassles you to use Edge and OneDrive. I'm already using both of those things fully configured, but it asks me to configure them anyway and then errors out. How fucking stupid are these people.

My new blog post is there, and it's a bit different from usual: Fixing stutters in your own code is hard enough, but this time I try to fix performance issues in a closed-source game. No source code or debug symbols, but a lot of guesswork. larstofus.com/2025/07/27/p... #gamedev #Trackmania

I reeeally don't want to use Google Search, because fuck Google. But I've been using DuckDuckGo which used to be an okay unremarkable search engine and has slowly degraded into a complete fucking garbage search engine. I've gotta start looking into options.

Finally got out to watch the F1 Movie yesterday. Overall, pretty good, had fun. Well produced, you absolutely believe these guys are driving F1 cars on the real grid with the other real drivers. The story is cheesy and cliched, the writing is mid, and the character tropes are lazy. Doesn't ruin it.

Let's see how things are going ... ah. I'm sure that's perfectly normal for a healthy functional company.

“Elon’s megalomania and tendency to lash out indiscriminately seem to have soured things with every person he’s encountered in his entire life,” said an anonymous source close to the embattled tech mogul theonion.com/rift-wi...

I do not understand people’s fascination with Andor. It is so hard to give a shit about anything happening to any of these people. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a single character’s arc or personality.

It’s Headless Multiscale Guitars O’Clock! 2 o’clock: Aristides H/06r trem, Fluence Abasi 4 o’clock: Kiesel Zeus, ash with BKP Juggernauts 8 o’clock: Hils HZ7, SD JB/Jazz rails later this week 10 o’clock: Kiesel CL7, Beryllium pickups

I’m constantly boggled at how bad and stupid iOS autocorrect is. I started typing and “glow in the dark” and it immediately changed glow to flow. Why the fuck would it do that?

I went to an all-British car show hosted by the local Triumph club. It was not well attended. No Rovers or Minis showed up, and I’m told the Mini club has beef with the Triumph club 🙄 Oh well. I had the newest car there, only a handful of 21st century cars generally.

This idea has been bouncing around my head for weeks and I finally got around to making it.

I think any game that has more than three types of in-game "currency" has completely lost the plot on its design brief, and I'm being generous allowing three. Currency includes anything you earn and then spend, and is a general number rather than a discrete inventory item. MW5 Clans is a mess here.

"P.S. If you would rather not to get personalized insights into how you can grow rapidly with on-demand digital talent recruitment, get back to me with a short 'not looking to currently expand', and I’ll not reach out any further." I think I'll just go with the Report Spam button instead, buddy.

Some time back, my FB account got hacked and disabled. Getting any support, or recovering the account, has proven utterly impossible. For practical reasons, I really kinda need to have an FB and I'm starting to get really frustrated. Are there any friends of friends out there that can help?

Fuck, looks like I’m in more trouble than I ever imagined possible.

very excited to learn that the constitution allows the federal government to disappear people to foreign gulags beyond the reach of any judicial remedy

Once again, the conservative sandwich heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor! youtu.be/kId0WiD69JM?...

I’m iOS autocorrect and I will retroactively correct proper nouns you have already typed to complete fuckin nonsense

It’s dog o’clock

Watched this last night, and what a fantastic way to teach people that Tesla's autopilot is beyond dangerous.

Did I mention that we opened the NeuroAnimation Stroke Recovery Clinic? I don't think I did. It's in Columbus, OH and we provide rehab therapy for stroke survivors, using our in-house neuroanimation games to provide cognitive and physical movement to restore patients. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J72F...
