this rules they made it synonymous with lying

New @oxide.computer application FAQ just dropped

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Hi all, me, @richardjbutler.bsky.social and the amazing UK-US-Moroccan team are delighted to announce that.. we have a new specimen of Spicomellus AND IT'S WAY WEIRDER AND WAY COOLER THAN WE EVER IMAGINED!!

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

@tomlooman.bsky.social trying to follow your perf course and this is driving me nuts.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

it's out!!! we use this on Subnautica 2, and it's transformed how we approach our worldbuilding. we have complete confidence that we can blend anything. an absolute game changer!

Property History is out! Quickly see the history of any property in Unreal Engine

Well said!!

Christ, I just went down this rabbit hole and there is a LOT

anil isn't kidding. this level of transparency and detail — talking to voters like adults — is remarkable. i would imagine it also helps people feel like they are part of something bigger. and, christ, mamdani is insanely charismatic and good on screen. like, you just want to watch him talk!

Just pushed version 0.65 of PCGEx for Unreal 5.6! 🚀 This release comes after a nerve-wracking refactor to align with the new data architecture; painful, but worth it. Big thanks to the always-growing community, you keep this alive ❤️ #pcg #unreal #pcgex

Mikeal Rogers has died | Discussion

cw: death Mikeal Rogers died yesterday. We rarely saw eye-to-eye, but that made working together all the more interesting. Mikeal was one of the first people to make me feel special about my weird database CouchDB and when he left, he went on to leave an outsized imprint on the Node.js ecosystem.

Sad to hear about Mikeal Rogers’ passing. He was a big part of the node community and participated actively in the decentralized web movement. Thinking of his friends and family tonight and wishing them peace in this difficult time b.h4x.zip/mikeal/

a collaborator and friend has moved on this week, and in memoriam i wanted to share my train of thought in grief.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Nimona 10th Anniversary Limited Edition is out TODAY!! Once it’s gone, it won’t be reprinted, so get yours while you can! www.harpercollins.com/products/nim... www.amazon.com/Nimona-Anniv...

I got tired of looking up normals so I made myself a cheatsheet If you're not already aware, a normal map renders a pixel at a fake angle determined by the colour. E.g. yellow tilts the pixel toward the top right. (79, 102, 179) would be leftwards and slightly down #GameDev #Tips #Graphics

Today I released Scythe 0.4.0 which brings Hotspots to Unreal 5.5: 🧵(1/9)

@othiym23.bsky.social what do you think about the new Meshuggah album

Don't know who needs to hear this today, but teeth aren't bone www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2n5b36K/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth#O...

This is a brilliant simple illustration of where we are with global heating

Love our HOA's gardeners.

"Car dealership that disappears political dissidents" really does feel like the form America has been building to this whole time.

Last year's mason bees started emerging yesterday. Cute little things, but they sure don't waste any time before getting down to business.

The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

This plugin is a lifesaver! Allows BP diffing between arbitrary commits using a *running* #unrealengine instance. i.e. no more waiting 20s or whatever to boot a new UE between each diff, it's immediate. It works. github.com/learn-comput... This is how UE diffing should have worked from the outset

Absolutely massive collection of #unrealengine links by the #ue5study group, for everything from BP, Animation, Materials, UMG & C++, to publishing plugins on the Marketplace. It's in Japanese but there's an "EN" button at the top, if your browser doesn't auto-translate it. ue5study.com

This seems obvious but we need to codify personal wealth being inversely proportional to political influence. Want to be a billionaire? Fine, but you're not allowed within 200ft of a politician or within government buildings.

the US is not a viable location to host any kind of academic conference

Knocked together a "WorldSubsystemBlueprintBase" to allow a technical, but non-coder coworker to make world subsystems in BP, rather than spawning singleton "manager" actors. gist.github.com/timoxley/c1c... #unrealengine #ue5

Good afternoon Bluesky, today is a wonderful day to watch Doechii's Tiny Desk Concert and see an absolute masterclass in musicianship and performance youtu.be/-91vymvIH0c?...

@tomlooman.bsky.social perhaps it would be possible for people who own one of your other courses to get a little discount on the optimization one (and vice versa)? Trump cuts mean we're poor people now.

I only know a handful of people here in the US, but a friend of my wife had a job offer with the department of energy rescinded & our company had a few million worth of pending contracts put into limbo. If it's hitting my tiny network from multiple angles, the extent of the damage must be incredible

My 5 year old was really upset I couldn't give her a satisfying answer as to what was inside a black hole and why there's no photos of it on Google.

TIL #unrealengine: a better way to do dynamic multicast delegate bindings without `&UPotentiallyVeryLongClassName::` ```cpp OnMyEventDelegate.AddDynamic(this, &ThisClass::OnMyEventReceived); ``` Likely far shorter, makes copy/paste between classes trivial & isn't vulnerable to IDE refactoring bugs

Argh the Monakai Pro theme for Rider updated, changing a bunch of colours & now I can't skim-read my code anymore. I'll get used to the theme change soon enough, but it's only when things like this happen that I realize how heavily my eye/brain leans on the syntax highlighting for navigation.

The Video Game History Foundation opens its digital archives to the public next week

news orgs: if you’re not willing to call the Nazi salute what it was why should we trust you about literally anything “mathematicians dispute whether two and two add up to four” level horseshit

No one has yet been able to answer my fundamental question: why should anyone bother playing through a story that no one bothered to write?????? Players want and DESERVE good story crafted by artisans, not AI slop.

If you want to help support the development of Scythe, I've just launched a Patreon: patreon.com/Kronok As thanks, you get the latest build of Scythe! (UE5.5 Win64 only)

I whipped up a unicode character browser for #unrealengine. Comments, critique welcome. github.com/ntystudio/Un...

oh no, I followed all the gamedev starter lists in my starter list thread, you know, Practice What You Preach, but now I follow 10k+ accounts & I'm on a bunch of "following over 10k accounts" lists & finding myself blocked left right & center, damn it

@deathbymeteor.bsky.social can I petition to be removed from the 10k accounts list? I collated a bunch of gamedev starter packs a while back, followed them all for good measure, and now I'm finding myself blocked by more and more accounts, e.g. the owner of the first list bsky.app/profile/timo...
