why does every other thumbnail on northernlion's yt channel look like he's about to start crying

google fonts is great but the filtering options are *so* *bad*

Someone suggested to me recently that the reason I hate AI so much must be because I don't understand it. I said it was precisely because I understood it so well that I came to the incredibly informed decision to hate it.

on @openfortress.fun i've gone from just doing level design, to doing promotional renders, 3D art, texture art, visual effects, UI art.... somebody stop me (or don't -- i'm doing really good work!)

I spent some of this week making an I/O system for level scripting in Unreal for @sleightofhand.game! I have long had thoughts on why these kick ass. Here's an unusually long blog post on: -why these kick ass -why they are necessary -how mine works -etc etc www.joewintergreen.com/i-o-systems-...

had to make this games industry compilation after hearing digital foundry's really bad response to the dlss 5 backlash

art and design in games are intrinsically linked, and to separate them and then pretty consistently prioritise art while undermining design pretty much always results in a bad game

This reminds me of developers saying immersion breaking yellow paint is required because players don't follow instructions. Go play some HL2 with the commentary nodes on. "We placed this geometry and this light, so players moved in that direction." The answer isnt yellow paint. It's better design.

i still think valve should make source 2's hammer editor a standalone product and chuck it on steam for 60 bucks i'm right to think this.

i've been working on a lot of cool stuff recently but it's all under-wraps still.

a little earlier i wanted to open Firefox on my phone. so i... opened Firefox, and then typed "firefox.com" into the address bar. I'm not very bright sometimes.

half-farm vr but the cattle is self aware

what if his name was GrainRadioTV and he did farming lifestyle streams

god i would kill for a threadripper cpu

tech bros just fundamentally do not know what art is

wow this DLSS 5 is kinda dogshit huh

Here's a very clear example; in the original shot, the character is being lit almost directly from above by a directional light in an outdoor scene, and as a result his eyes are shadowed. DLSS5 deletes this, and essentially reconstructs the face as if rendered with an extra fill light.

even from a pure technical perspective, it's clearly throwing out a bunch of the actual lighting information in the scene to replace it with essentially a pre-baked yassified valley face. it's the Samsung moon thing but for video game characters' faces

why did anyone ever decide we needed LLMs when Wolfram Alpha has existed forever?

he could redeem mankind. but he didn't. there was no point. there was another savior named antichrist on the other world doing the exact same thing backwards to cancel out christ's crucifixion every freaking time.

we seriously need a sequel to the "Half-Life Snacks" video. the people need to know what snacks are available at Valve's snack bar

the UK media is really scared of Zack Polanski but they have nothing on him, so they're currently trying to nail him by (checks notes) reporting claims from like 13 years ago that he believed that you could use hypnotherapy to make your breasts grow larger. this country is a joke

Thinking about the 60 emoji again

the last couple of weeks have just been so draining

valve is so good at cutscenes even the elevator rides are part of the worldbuilding

This continues to be painfully true

live service games were a mistake

this industry is fuckin dire
