In the past month I have received separate complaints that I have been posting too much about politics and cats. So today's Low Quality Ad is for this "Enemy of the State" cat pin. Keep the complaints coming guys. collabs.shop/f0qstf

The SLua open beta is here. Take a look at the new scripting language features, tools, and documentation. second.life/technews120225

NEW [RoS] RELEASE ON SALE! ✨ Firefly Grotto ✨ This immersive skybox/backdrop comes with animated effects and natural audio ambience. There is a version without sound included as well. It's a large skybox but only comes in at 31-36LI. See it inworld! #SecondLife maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/S...

Parts and Pain. A good lesson without the harmful stereotypes.

You got some little shit staring at you like and what do you do

That's much better. > 100us to ~8us

Time to micro optimize

Even more concurrency for the engine. #GraphicsProgramming #VR #AR

All the concurrency

Huh. That doesn't quite seem right.

Global illumination experiments. #GraphicsProgramming

Easy to lose money on something you don’t fundamentally understand and making what once had the potential to be an idyllic concept for some into a grifters wet dream that attempts to exploit people with a phrase that many in my industry even struggle to understand from the source material.

Shadows (debug edition) - feat. virtual shadow mapsA

Virmtual Shamdow Mamps #GraphicsProgramming

So I guess some general updates on Entropy - Portal is rendering! Again! With more features this time! - Tile based Forward+ - Virtual shadow mapping (for lodesashadows) - Basic diffuse for now, saving PBR for when probes are in. Which is soon - Holy fuck custom shaders???? - Uses Slang

It’s that time of year youtu.be/ROK7RjJaIXs?...

It lives.

Why yes, yes I do cull my lights how could you tell?

Hm. To software tile shader and hardware tile shader when available or not. That is the question.

Mmm, inverse-Z buffer-y.

Lighmts

Gee I hope that image compression doesn't destroy this. That would be terrible. Just awful.

Also finally decided to fork the forge. It drops the weird MSVC compiler version check! But the idea is Choco as in Chocolate like Chocolate DooM, Chocolate Quake, etc.

This was actually slightly more difficult than what it looks like. So I just straight up added the ability to accept a shader's source and use the Metal runtime directly. github.com/Augvicto/Cho... #GraphicsProgramming

Slang + The Forge was a bit of a bitch.

Jojo poorly explained: dumbfuck coded vampire causes a multiverse incident so he can get his rizz on

Gave The Forge another crack. Still not a fan of how it's overall configured - maybe that's a good enough reason to fork (VS2019 only, slow public updates, OpenXR is more Quest focused...). Got CMake project up to date with 1.6x: github.com/VoidAnchor/T... - supports FSL too! #GraphicsProgramming

There’s a few pride colors in here. A few.

New #Linux setup who dis

www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ag... Ahahahahah hahah hahahaha ahahahah hah hah haaaaaa.

Time for slime(vr)

Well, now that @shinyquagsire.bowser.gay has face tracking (mostly) working on AVP, time to sacrifice a Quest Pro or three.

Damn MTG trying to go for a redemption arc was not on this year's bingo card

Every now and then, people wonder why I'm so f'd up. Then I show them this and tell them "this is maybe 5% of what I've dealt with, and I'm very open about my world. Now ask me a question." They always get scared to interact with me. And it makes me feel lonely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMFv...

Okay time to revive my multithreading proof of concept for #SecondLife. I got some stuff working for HTTP requests that _seems_ to be a bit faster than what we had before. Just need to propagate it across the viewer.

you know, dispite all the immigrants being kidnapped, couldn't help but notice jobs arent any easier to obtain.

Congrats to the Firestorm team! Glad to see all of the stuff we’ve been pulling together make its way out! Also included: WebRTC fixes! #SecondLife

Wore a Dropkick Murphys shirt that says “fighting Nazis since 1996” on the back to Walmart (required for prescriptions) and triggered a Nazi who started yelling at me about it. Sir, you exemplify the shirt.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.
