Playing "Is this seat taken" and in a classroom scenario came across a shape that forgot to take a shower (smelly), will help others (nerd, annoying to some) and needs help (needs to sit next to a nerd) and boy I have never related more to a rhombus.

Been watching Twin peaks recently and it's strange how different TV was 35 years ago. Just the ambient stuff like how it's normal for teenagers to smoke indoors is so alien to me.

Man gmail becomes tricky to use when dealing with large threads. I sent out a bulk email and all of the responses and my responses to the responses are shown in a linear jumbled mess. Email is a tree.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=emdk... How he can come out of the game swinging like that and keep it up for an hour is beyond me.

There were some gems, but most of Gen V S2 felt like almost sneezing

Multi vendor normalized mongoDB

I scored 15/28 on jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Oh cool, FMA day

Is there a threshold for minions one can get exposed to at work, after which one is eligible for compensation?

Can barely remember my name so years are off but here goes. 2013 - Notepad++ / idle 2014 - Eclipse 2015 - Atom 2016 - Visual studio 2018 - VS code 2023 - Nvim I also go back and forth a lot, sometimes using things like intellij idea for java or android studio for mobile dev.

The three countries we really need to turn on this are France, Italy and Spain (they have the largest numbers of MPs other than Germany, who already opposes). But I don't speak those languages, so if anyone wants to translate or make their own posts, please, please do so!!

Me every year watching TI thinking would it really be that bad to play some Dota

LinkedIn coded but serious book recommendation: "Leadership and self-deception". It's self help with a sort of narrative. Super insightful.

Man I've been burnout edging for so long it's gonna hit hella hard

Pathfinder day! I'm running Season of Ghosts and the gang is gonna meet Ren Mei Li for the first time. Immana go full Azula from atla for the whole session, can't wait.

A friend of mine wants a body pillow cover with Fujiko Mine from Lupin the third. Any artists willing to provide a service for a fee?

Won't someone please think of the poor AI companies. They deploy millions of phd level experts daily and yet ungrateful haters want immaterial rights for the works they have diligently scraped.

Mandelbrot visualizing differences between iteration counts (1-50). Only crashed once by accidentally setting iteration count to a power of six while tweaking the easing.

Shader droplet. Not that impressive but I'm really noticing how much faster I can come up with these now.

It's so cool to be able to do stuff.

GPU particles are starting to feel workable.

Did submit for GMTK 2025, but not that happy with the result. Learned a thing or two like every year. Shame that every time I use Godot on the web, I have to re-learn how some graphics just don't work the same. This time it was gamebreaking :)

Behold, paper!

Read the first Blacksad book and I can feel the fixation bubblin'

It's important to try new things, so in order to keep myself on task while working on my game, I'll try streaming starting tomorrow around 19:00 pacific time.

Smears in the actual game woo!

Been teaching myself wgsl / graphics programming and I thought might as well make my playground accessible for others so I can reference it easier. Interactive demo - haihala.github.io/bevy-shader-... Code - github.com/haihala/bevy... Companion blog post - haihala.github.io/blog/bevy-sh...

Got a bunch followers out of the blue (thanks gang) and noticed how I've streamlined checking if I want to follow back. Something I look for is reposts to post ratio. Weird how some people seem to exclusively repost? Not just the bots. Feels weird following a reposter. Do yall look at that too?

Made a lit fake cube (one quad + frag shader)

POC for a smear with the new stuff. Aiming for ED kick normal in SF6

And of course, once you have UV coordinates, you can do textures. This is really coming together huh.

I think I got to close enough. Observe various curvy bits:

This pattern really showcases how well the human eye smooths stuff over. There is some visible aliasing, but it's not too bad. Until...

This pattern better showcases the scuffed corners. Looks fine in motion, but the corners bother me.

Progress on animating Beziers with wgsl. It gets a bit mushy in tight corners, but I think I'm rapidly approaching the point of good enough.

Spend a few hours banging my head against a wall until I figured out how to draw and "uv map" cubic bezier splines using a wgsl fragment shader. I think they use a similar technique with Ed's kick normals in SF6, although the spline is probably more complicated and 3d.

In preparation for the King, I revisited him and others in SFV and oh boy. Being used SF6, the V gang just feel lacking and clunky. The designs do get better during later seasons, but the earlier chars had me repeatedly asking "what is this for" for their moves. Tekken ass move lists with clutter

Vacationing is exhausting. I've had a four day break and it feels like I'm just running errands 24/7

Aws has three names: - XZ3 - CloudThing - Showtime

Having never played a Marvel game, oinking through the HxH Nen Impact content trough with is hilarious. Trough filler: This little boy is Vergil from the Devil May Cry series. The blonde girl is the Ghost rider. Me: Sure is buddy.

Game dev grumbles

Legacy TS codebase with Ramda is really rinsing the Haskell love out of my system.

Hey it's a star wars

Noticed that I had driven a car, asked for a house tour, updated my finance spreadsheet and done laundry, so I had to fill out a job application to complete adulthood Exodia.

Oh sweet, it's #portfolioday. Not sure it applies here, but here goes: haihala.github.io/portfolio
