I wish we had councillors that understood nuance. I'll fully admit that the rezoning proposal had problems, but repealing the whole thing is so backwards. DJ Kelly is looking like one of the few councillors that actually wants to move the city in a better direction.

Our monthly meetup is confirmed for Nov 20th at Civic tavern from 6pm onwards! No speakers this month but we will likely introduce the newly voted in board of directors and our goals as the CGDA for the upcoming year. As always this event is free, casual and open to all 🍻

I remember a while ago it took me two weeks to figure out how to construct a plane procedurally within #Bevy. Now I've managed to construct a hex grid in just a couple of days. Just another reminder that persistence isn't always big leaps, but sometimes small gains and time savers.

It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Disappointed in almost all areas by this municipal election. Almost all candidates across the board were uninspiring, if not regressive. Low voter turnout and asinine voting processes (thanks to the province). I can only hope that people remember this for the next provincial election.

My analysis of Calgary's very weird election. #yyccc

When your graphics programmer tells you to stop simulating off-screen cloth, show them this video.

Windows 10 users... it’s time. The penguin is calling! 🐧

Moving onto CachyOS from Bazzite, which I moved to from NixOS. Both are great and have their place, but I've realized that I am a power user, and as such Arch is the natural place to go.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.

Many high profile #UnrealEngine 5.x games have had massive performance issues, including the just released Borderlands 4. So today we look at the performance issues and what Epic Games are doing about them. gamefromscratch.com/unreal-engin... #gamedev #indiedev

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

CrunchyRoll started as an anime piracy website.

I never managed to fall in love with Godot, somehow I skipped right over it and landed on Bevy. It still has a ways to go, but it's on such a good trajectory for the future.

Today is Bevy's fifth birthday! As always, I've used this as a chance to reflect on the past year and outline my hopes and dreams for the next year of #bevy: bevy.org/news/bevys-f...

“GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

(Use a ramp collider for your player capsule collision so it moves smoothly up and down stairs. Then use a second collision channel for foot IK ray casting for stairs. This lets your feet plant correctly on the stairs.)

So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence. If true, then fucking yikes.

I stopped using Substack because my feed was deteriorating into manosphere and right-wing adjacent rage bait. I guess it's only gotten worse. At some point all of these "glitches" start saying more than any crafty press release could ever mitigate.

Translation: executives would prefer to gamble on the plagiarism machine that kills the planet (which cannot make video games by the way)... rather than just compensate and treat their employees better.

artist: "fuck no I won't tell anyone we used that trash, besides, it was my manager who basically forced me to" manager: "ok but I don't want to make a public statement" manager's manager: "I feel like this is still a little too controversial to talk about publicly" CEO: "oh hell yea sign me up!"

🏗️ Organizing Larger Projects #rustlang How do large projects like bevy or the rust compiler get broken down into manageable chunks? How do they keep the codebase modular and maintainable, and easy to work on? Do you have a single main file with 500+ LOC? Let's learn how to use workspaces🧵👇

"Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2" anime series is in production (Studio Trigger).

Whoa. That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today. With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

"The fort was established so that they could settle the Indians out here." The anniversary of Fort Calgary's establishment in 1875 is no longer an uncritical celebration like it has been in the past. We explore how local history is evolving, 150 years later.

New poster (HD) for "Chainsaw Man - The Movie : Reze Arc". In japanese theaters on September 19, then in 80 countries from September 24.

For today's #bevy work, I wrote up the Board's decisions, and reformatted some old ones. Transparency matters in #opensource! Mundane work that hints at an exciting future: hiring Cart, bevy.org domain, benchmarking hardware... Read the decisions at bevy.org/foundation/...

This signals what path education should take when AI paper writing is widely available: Focus on frequent testing and essay defenses, and make sure knowledge lasts. That’s cool, actually.
