Not 100% yet, but Metal is getting there! Still need to work out some push constant and barrier nonsense.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Happy holidays! Much of the Marathon team is taking time to enjoy the holidays, but this week we applied upstream fixes for D3D12 and removed a patch that caused severe problems with cutscenes.

I highly recommend reading Sebastian Aaltonen's blog post, which basically has everything I could ever want from a modern graphics API. Let's hope vendors actually listen.

This week, I made a bunch of progress on XNOEdit, my cross-platform editor/viewer for Sonic '06 objects powered by .NET and WGPU. Still lots to do, but many objects now correctly visualise, including textures! Next up, bringing in original recompiled shaders so everything looks perfect.

After almost a month of work, the '06 recomp options menu has been merged! This comes with a few new options, along with some improved existing ones to make them work at runtime. It's still not 100% there yet though, as many of the video settings available are yet to be implemented on demand.

To defeat the "vibe-coded gradient" allegations, I've redesigned my website! The palette is inspired by R. Kikuo Johnson's graphic novel "No One Else" I'm sure there are bugs so lmk if something breaks :)

Time to take a break from the race track for an update :) This week, we got two restorations, chain jumps flips, and Sonic's action gauge! If infinite hops aren't your thing and you want something more like Sonic Team intended, Sonic's gems will now (optionally) consume the action gauge.

The WSJ carelessly spread anti-trans misinformation
The Wall Street Journal’s fuckup while covering Charlie Kirk’s killing needs more than an editor’s note.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting
Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

Excellent job,

Melissa and Mark Hortman were murdered in their home. To frame this is a leftist issue is an outright fabrication and an outrage.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.
