Into the Slimy Mines comes out THIS WEEK!

Last week John Swinney owed Farage a pint. This week Farage owes Streeting, Rayner, and the rest of feuding Labour a pint. Absolutely massive self-owns all around atm. Party over country at its finest.

I made a blog! I'm not sure if it's that interesting to the few people that follow me on here (it's about making/engineering), but who knows, maybe? 🤷‍♂️ timang.us

Wondering if I can get certified as an electrician faster than waiting for the various sparkies I've messaged to reply to an email.

Very much disappointed in the Scottish Parliament tonight. Again.

"Nvidia says the core goal is to enable developers to achieve the artistic vision desired by game creators limited by the technological limits of today's hardware" 🤦 The big limit of "todays hardware" is that potential customers for games can't buy the affordable and efficient hardware needed today

Has the F1 start of season been worth 4 hours sleep? given the first few laps, yesssssss.

Remember when online games had server browsers where you'd discover community servers that you'd wait ages for a free slot to open up on because you'd formed friendships with those playing at the same time each week and valued those new friendships & gaming social connections? Just me? I miss that.

I dont see any mention of the "cheap" automatic full-beam features being implemented in many cars with dangerous disable latencies. I suspect many people are running this feature without even realising and blinding folks constantly. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Guys, woman only want one thing on Valentine's Day... 🤤 ❤️

The latest Deadlock update is wild. www.playdeadlock.com/oldgods

Seems like the 2026 upscalers review bingo card is already filled with yeeting sharpness silently to 300%, folks will think it's extra detailed! 🤣 Its fun how opinions change so quickly over the years.

It's time

Excuse me Cadbury but where the fuck is the other half of my Boost? 🤣 its smaller than my thumb!

Secrets of Direct3D 12: The Behavior of ClearUnorderedAccessViewUint/Float - new post on my blog. asawicki.info/news_1795_se...

This flu season is turning out odd; well into second week of lung niggles, aches (especially neck) and a few days ago the head cold began. Been vaccinated so probably just not developing into full blown flu, but its certainly extended durations of urgh to previous years.

Hey @dachsjaeger.bsky.social - regarding the FG overlay advice, I can give some background here. I said most of this at a previous GDC Q&A, but the new release is obviously after my involvement so may have changed since. At the time FSR3 FG was in dev, many overlays and apps were not expecting...

Looks like latest Android/NothingOS is taking inspiration from Windows. The wifi is broken and the search bar now asks to search the net before filtering my apps list. How does this shit get past the most basic of checks.

Lol. "Supporter premium" final tickets more expensive than a 3-day weekend F1 Paddock Club pass at Barcelona. Wild. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ahh, the beauty of lego.

The amount of national newspapers stating the maccies Big Tasty is being _upgraded_ to 1/4 pounder patties from 1/3 shows how much oversight AI writing is getting. In other news, mcds have ruined the last 'ok' burger they had.

Something lovely waiting for me at home after getting back from Graphics Programming Conference! That's my evening sorted. MILESHIPS by @ianmcque.bsky.social

Scotland. fucking hell.

On way to Breda for graphicsprogrammingconference.com! Looking forward to it. Let me know if you will be there :)

Weighing up whether this is the perfect "do on the plane to GPC" lego set. Though don't know if it will survive in its box past the weekend :)

Łukasz from Wookash Podcast (@gameengineering.bsky.social) has posted a lengthy conversation I recorded with him a few weeks ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KPU... It's really awkward for me to watch it so I'll assume it's just confused rambling :)

Honestly, F1 is just a little bit rough to watch with any excitement or energy these days. The steward decisions are so inconsistent every week and last few races the camera direction has been atrocious.

This idea for a RISC-V machine similar to RC2014 seemed like a good one so I've been thinking about it for the last few days. I've put together a rough plan for how it might be done - I'm interested in what people think! github.com/MichaelBell/...

Not only did we achieve the £5k target, but we nearly got an all time best! Getting within £40 of that is incredible. Many thanks to everyone who supported us during the event!

Five hours left, and we are a few hundred below our 5K target! if you can help out, please do - its for a wonderful cause! justgiving.com/page/teamche...

We are on Day 3 of the fundraiser - Live with Ghnomia playing Hades 2! Watch cheesethieves on Twitch and support! www.twitch.tv/cheesethieves

Just about to start playing The Roottrees are Dead. Excited about this one! Come help me

It’s day two of our livestream fundraiser for Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity! I’ll be live at 9am on twitch.tv/cheesethieves until 5pm. I’ll play some mystery and puzzle games. Come join me, and if you can donate at cheesethieves.co.uk

Day 1 of Cheese Thieves fundraising for Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity has begun! I am playing Eriksholm mostly, will see how the stint goes! Watch at twitch.tv/cheesethieves and you can donate to the cause using the link under the stream.

Every year a few of us get together to raise money for Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity, in a few days we'll be doing it again for 2025. Please check out our campaign page at justgiving.com/page/teamche... and donate if you can - it's an incredible charity that touches a lot of people's lives.

Did you know every Monday I sent out a newsletter with some of this week's thoughts on automation in games? And I won't make you make a substack account!!! andrewfray.dev/newsletter.h...

We have the schedule! It kicks off next week with myself playing Eriksholm by @riverendgames.bsky.social. You can help Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity with fundraising here. It is greatly appreciated and helps children and families in hospital. #gamechangers justgiving.com/page/teamche...

Today is a Lego day.

Yep, that's right! It's time for the Cheese Thieves 🧀🧀 to assemble for Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity #GameChangers. More details, and how to contribute to the cause which helps children in hospital can be found at www.justgiving.com/page/teamche...

Williams on the front row alert! #f1

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

A significant amount of tech tuber "game dev" hot takes could be disproved (or, less frequently - proven) with a single pix or renderdoc capture. Following some basic frame profiler guides could dramatically improve content in this space.

Doing a clear out of old things. Found these interesting items!

Now this is a little small-form-factor delight!

Really looking forward to this :)
