(🧵 1/6) Recently I've been working on an HLSL interpreter, which can execute shader code entirely on the CPU github.com/pema99/HLSLI... I used it to make a cute little interactive debugger demo. You can try it yourself at pema.dev/hlsl/

Venture Into The Unknown was so good. If you don't play VRChat, here's a peek at what it was all about!

Man, I've been missing out. Quake 2 and Halo are fun as fuck.

New funniest vinesauce corruption just dropped CW // Flashing Lights at the end

Oops I'm late to posting this. I hope you all enjoyed our work on Venture into the Unknown! We worked hard on it, it took a full year, but god damn if it wasn't worth it with what came out of it.

I finally got to finish a story about my uncle. Fun story. Also the first game I've managed to finish in years.

Huh. The dude behind PicoCAD is also the dude behind Icy Tower back in the day. Neat!

Hey, if you see me online in vrc, I'd love you to invite me places. I don't tend to join peeps who are on orange because I don't want to intrude, but I often still want company. I'm on a lot, often in my home world so peeps can drop by and say hi. You should come say hi sometime.

New year's resolution, dev stuff aside: be less lonely. Be more willing to let people in, and try to be okay with having friends care about me. To stop deflecting as much and try to be vulnerable again, and let people actually care about me when they actually try to.

Either I'm losing my mind or there's been people I followed that I'm not following and people that were following me that aren't. Could be either, but ay. I'm trying to curate a feed here bsky, what are you doing :V

Too many projects. Slowly getting through em but man, I wish I was busy with smaller interesting things instead of slow moving big things right now. Big things are always coming. I just wish they were a little less big sometimes lmao

Thinking about it, wouldn't Lanky Kong bounce on it for a bunch of bananas, not a burger?

Oop, I forgot to update here - gumroad unsuspended it, it's now back up for sale where it was.

It seems Gumroad has suspended sale of the Collar & Leash system. I will be investigating, and if I cannot get it restored, I will announce where it will be sold instead and will send out codes to those who have already bought it to grab it again.

Been using Kagi now for a while. Pretty much the same as strasz here - it's made search usable. Even without blocking domains and such, it's incredible how good a search engine can be when your eyeballs aren't the product.

Sonic the hedgehog, and his hedge-covered hog

Do y'all think Lanky Kong would bounce on it for a burger

Red_sim's light volume + Ikeiwa's baked volumetric shader + Bakery spotlights, with "physical falloff" turned on (a checkbox on the bakery light component), and a custom cookie texture for a more uneven lighting effect. #VRChat

Hehe 3DS triangle

Happy birthday @internetianer.bsky.social. Miss ya man. Wish we hadn't lost contact all those years ago.

Where there's smoke, they pinch back.

Light Volumes v.2.0.0 released! Now it has Light Volume based super optimized analytical Point Lights, Spot Lights and Area Lights. (Up to 128 at the same time) Ability to project images and cubemaps. Also baked shadow masks and even more features! github.com/REDSIM/VRCLi...

I'm committing crimes. (I've found a better way to do this)

They brought the McGriddle here to aus. I tried it... This is what you guys were raving about? This is far too sweet, what the fuck - why would you not just use an english muffin, this is terrible lmao

Dude, meshtastic is sick.

I see discussions occasionally about having GUIs replacing command lines. And while I'm all for it, there's a point that I never see discussed. Part of why command lines work so much better than GUIs for some tasks is that GUIs require organization and hierarchy to work.

The wider project failed, but it was still an interesting one - I implemented the QOA audio codec in #vrchat #udon! See it in action here: vrchat.com/home/world/w... And the code here: gist.github.com/TapGhoul/bc7...

No rhythm games at the rhythm gamers meetup? I don't think so >:3 Made a little surprise for #Furality this year. It's a fully playable ITG chart within my VRChat avatar! Best of all? Others could also try to play the game too! ... We heard this song so much @_@; I am sorry to people around me!

Remember:

Man it's wild how often I find that problems get so much simpler when you start to think of them as distributed systems problems. Dealing with orchestration etc instead of a clean hierarchy of call stacks makes so many things so much easier when you have more than one source of events.

The time is finally here! CyberLove ｜ A7 サイバーラブ is now public! Check it out now on VRChat! You can find it in community labs for now or by searching for it in-game! Also consider dropping by the release party @ 8pm PST (starts around time of posting) See you there! 🩷

Jujutsu is definitely an interesting VCS. I'm sorta getting it, but will need to see how it handles my workflow and vice versa. It's a little mind bending in places, but maybe it'll give me an excuse to start trying to do stacked PRs, never done em before.

I made Bad Apple with the VRChat Camera Dolly #badapple #VRChat #VRC

Shop Meme 🗨️🗨️🗨️ #art

Today I uploaded my Powder Toy in #VRChat creation as a world, so people who don't know me can play with it: vrchat.com/home/launch?... I also added 10 new elements, including a bunch of explosives which can push around particles when detonated, via a rudimentary wind simulation.

Man I wish I had more hours in the day to work on the shit I've got cooking. Too many wishlist projects... At least I'm finally getting to em, though!

Comments?

me linking this in slack feels like casting an aoe spell that targets every engineer in a huge radius

Lol. Lmao. github.com/pulpocaminan...

TIL bash has hashmaps, I'm gonna use this for evil. xeiaso.net/notes/2024/b... written by @xeiaso.net Post is short and sweet, go forth and make things that would make C programmers cry.

Thing I learned today: if you move your entire system between hosts in weird ways, don't forget to regenerate your initrd - updating your grub config isn't enough if the partition UUID changes. There goes like 6 hours of my day lol

Mmm, I love bots. Hehe block button go brrrrr

Woah! We are an exhibitor in @vket.com @en.vket.com now? Come check us out if you want to learn more about what we have been working on as a community, and how to get involved! Join us in Groove Ground GraffCity!

Yooo my booth is in the Graffiti world for #Vket! Big thanks to @tapg.dev for helping porting it over; and check out the booth for @c1024.tv in the same world!

Bluesky firehose go brrrrrrrr

I feel like I should make a decorative frame in my house that just updates daily with inspirational quotes - Those quotes mostly being a feed of @goldsteel.bsky.social's posts

Testing something from deck.blue - My Profile + Phantom card, maybe?

Ha, that's cute. bsky.app?kawaii=true switches up the logo. bsky.app?kawaii=false will revert it. Note, you're gonna need to copy/paste this yourself - clicking the link on bsky directly won't correctly trigger it.
