king shit

This is what I've been working on :3c

please be normal about videogames they are very hard to make

huge parts of the eve engine are now open source, including core libs and resource management. it even has .teamcity files! github.com/carbonengine

Tech bros: "AI democratizes art and allows us to level the playing field 🙏" Artists: "Can we democratize your net worth and 'level the playing field?' Tech bros: "Absolutely fucking not.🔪"

what does it say about me that I know how to do one of the critically endangered ones to some degree

we don't make video game UI like we used to

Took an NSAID maybe I can get some seeds in the ground before the rain starts and/or I pass out again.

I was having a fever dream (a real one unforch) about if an ICE agent asked if I was afraid, which iirc is a real thing one guy asked a pastor in Minneapolis, and my retort was why do you care what I think? Why are we even having this conversation? Is this a good use of your limited time on earth?

New bit I've perfected if anyone brings up a problem: I don't really follow politics but it was never like this before Trump. "But the Democrats and the funding and--" Yeah like I said I don't really follow that. There was always politics but before Trump it was never like this. That's all I know

It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke. This is not a joke. We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

I haven't been to GDC since the before times, how y'all been

I don't need anymore hobbies, projects, or art supplies, but I discovered 日本画 so

Watch Out!

Most of the slides and course notes for the SIGGRAPH 2025 Physically Based Shading in Theory and practice course are now online, with more to follow: blog.selfshadow.com/publications...

Wow, this is such a cool paper! Basically with a surprisingly small modification to existing NeRF optimization, this paper gets a really good direct surface reconstruction technique that doesn't require all of the usual mess that meshing a NeRF requires (raymarching, marching cubes, etc).

this is from back in May, but while youre calling your representatives about the SCREEN act and KOSA, its worth including a mention about the 'Interstate Obscenity Definition Act' (IODA). remember, you dont need to go into great detail, you just need to be another tally of citizens saying "no"

Went to a session on sustainability in GPU usage and that alone was worth the price of admission

"Günther Thallinger, a board member at Allianz, one of the world’s biggest insurers, recently outlined how the world is fast approaching temperature levels where insurers will no longer be able to offer cover for financial services, such as mortgages and investments." seems problematic.

"why would they do this" for information control and to privatize the data via a crony system this is just the postsoviet russian playbook

I think that as an indie game dev without a large publisher, your target audience is not gamers in general, it is sickos. It's hardcore sickos that will be diving the depths of your genre and finding your game, and it is sickos who will be spreading it. Please the passionate, not the masses.

Fuckin’ sick

If you just really want to hear me explain why so many publishers are just utterly useless now, here's a talk for you.

This is at least the second method discovered in the last year to help break down harmful PFAS. Given their ubiquity and significant health impacts, it would be really nice to implement some fixes sooner rather than later.

Omw to SIGGRAPH and I'm thinking about...spectral rendering

I can’t say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We don’t notice it because it’s the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.

Reminder that the measles vaccine was the most successful in history and was considered to have entirely eliminated infections until the funded anti-vax movement was fueled by RFK Jr & others to concentrate capital with more pandemics. bsky.app/profile/bgru...

I think a lot of people have forgotten or were never taught in the first place that these kinds of actions need to be an endurance strategy. If they know you'll give up in 2 days they'll just try to wait you out. You have to make them understand that this is their life now if they don't fix things

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

this is going to be very, very unpopular

John Waters got it:

credit cards shouldn't tell you what to buy. you're supposed to tell the credit card what to buy. thats the point i think

Finally, I can post this video I've been hanging on to since somebody sent it to me.

AI can't come up with new kinds of weird shit because AI doesn't experience life. How do you train a model on the viscerally bad feeling of stepping in water with socks on? The smell of spring? Fear?

Transparent textures usually have bad values in the RGB of the transparent pixels, causing visual artifacts on lower mips. Wrote a little tool to pad PNGs with transparency to TGA with alpha. Code, .exe and explaination here: shahriyarshahrabi.medium.com/padding-tran...
