This is perhaps the most under viewed Unreal Engine video. If you use UMG in Unreal you should really give it a view, Adrienne killed it with this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NHI...

Hit 9 years at Epic yesterday. What a ride it has been.. Thanks for being a part of it folks!

Windows 11 update formatted my machine without saying it would. Cool. Cool Cool Cool.

It'll never not be bizarre to me that Suicide Squad is one of the worst comic book movies, but The Suicide Squad is somehow one of the best. Shows you what good creative on a project can do.

Netflix hitting me with trick questions.

bug - something broken in a tech thing buggy - a way to describe tech that has bugs bugged - something or some place that has a secret microphone or camera planted in it for spying on people Whenever I read 'the code/game is bugged,' I get a lil tripped up 😅

The new Nanite Foliage Voxel representation is an absolute game changer for distant environments, density preservation is pretty much perfect. 5 min test scene i whipped up here. ~1 million 20 million poly trees scattered with PCG #UE5 #UnrealEngine #GameDev #EnvironmentArt #RealTime

Is the opposite of "half assing" something whole assing, not assing or still just half assing?

Watched Sinners last night and I'm so glad I went in not knowing anything but a quick warning if you haven't seen it: it has both a mid & end credits scene. One of which is super important! HBO switches to suggesting movies before it gets to them. Only caught it because the soundtrack is a banger.

I have 9 days off. Any suggestions on what to play? Need something soon or I'm starting another xcom2 campaign..

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Dylan's talk is like Cvar pornography. Cvar after Cvar fixing all sorts of rendering headaches. If you're focused on your projects visuals make sure you check it out!

The answer to "can I do X on Linux without issues" is always no; you can't do anything without issues, that's the Linux guarantee. But the issues are like, "a fuckin nerd did this" not "the nerd's boss made him do this and he hated every second"

actually unreal how funny this image is

Last year a bunch of the Epic Games Technical Artists had a summit at HQ and we had the opportunity to take a 360 photo in the single most appropriate place you could take a 360 photo of Unreal Engine Technical Artists. Importing it into the editor as my default felt strangely wholesome.

As Unity continues to be Unity, let me pull across a Mastodon thread that I posted during a previous period a couple years ago when Unity was being Unity: If you can ship a game in Unity, you can ship a game in any other proven engine out there 🧵 #gamedev #indiedev

I don't know who needs to know this but a lot of windows based laptops actually work with airplane seat power if you flick them to flight mode. Same goes for when you're stuck having to run from USB C power.
