Placing my bets now that if the files voted on today are ever released, they'll contain multiple sentences like: "I think our clinton card is..." "This issue obamas the other concerns..." "My kids is learning to play the bidenet..."

Looking for an experienced WebXR developer for a paid project. Please DM if you are one or know one!

My Galaxy XR controllers finally arrived! Hand tracking on the headset is perfectly fine, but it's amazing how much more responsive it feels when you get actual sensors involved. Really wish they had opted to include these in the box with the headset.

Very funny to compare this to the Valve hardware announcement video, and think back to the Amazon guy on LinkedIn who was like, “why can’t we compete with Valve??? It is a mystery!!!”

Starting in Chrome 144 (currently Canary) WebGPU's WriteBuffer and WriteTexture methods should be approx twice as fast for larger uploads! My colleagues and I have been optimizing out some unnecessary copies.

NieR Automata genuinely might be one of the most important game releases of all time explicitly because of how it directly inspired DXVK, yes. www.digitaltrends.com/computing/ni...

The Steam Frame video by @nchan.bsky.social is really good! youtu.be/b7q2CS8HDHU?...

The long awaited Deckard is here! Fascinating to see their approach to standalone VR, which is bucking the trends from other vendors in some interesting ways.

#SIGGRAPH2025 Advances in Real-Time Rendering in Games course talk recording of "Stochastic Tile-Based Lighting in HypeHype" by Jarkko Lempiäinen from HypeHype is now online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O44...

My colleague Antonio Maiorano added some basic support for capturing Chrome #WebGPU content with RenderDoc recently! I wrote a brief article about how to use it. It's pretty primitive right now, but I have high hopes that we can improve the ergonomics in the future.

IPV4: Hey, it turns out that we're gonna need more than 4 billion addresses! Average dev: No worries. Do what we all do and use 64 bits instead of 32. You'll never have to think about it again... Uh- Georg? Everything OK over there? IPV6 Georg: WE NEED TO UNIQUELY ADDRESS EVERY ATOM ON EARTH!

Feeling more hopeful about the future of the US than I have in, well, a year.

Absolutely amazing game! So glad I worked through the difficulty to finish it properly. #Silksong

I updated cityslingvr.arvr.social so it works on Galaxy XR. Performance seems decent!

I ordered a Galaxy XR w/ controllers on the day it became available. Already got the headset, controllers said they were delayed till Nov 3rd. Then Nov 6th. Then today I got notified that they're delayed till JANUARY 8th! They really thought nobody was gonna buy these, huh?

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Happy Halloween!

@willsmith.fun Heard you talk about Starbursts on the latest TechPod, and I feel inspired to share my family's secret technique: Roast 'em like marshmallows! Literally jab 'em on a pointy stick and hold them over a fire for a bit. Caramelizes the outside and makes the inside gooey. 🧑‍🍳🤌

I've hit the point in Silksong where all the obvious side quests are done, and I'm not inclined to wander aimlessly looking for a few last mask shards, so I guess it's time to face down the final boss (for reals this time.)

Samsung Galaxy XR supports sideloading APKs by default, without needing a PC or developer mode, and has an open bootloader too:

A hidden USB-C port on Samsung Galaxy XR can be connected to a wide range of accessories:

This is important! Game of the year. A+. No further notes.

Updating my LEGO White House

Stumbled into a new cave and came out holding a heart that wasn't on my shopping list. Not sure how I feel about that. #Silksong

Is there anything more cringe worthy than presenters pretending to be surprised on stage while reciting a script they undoubtedly practiced dozens of times?

Samsung's Android XR headset launch is streaming now: www.youtube.com/live/ITXJquX...

After the aftermath of the grub quest in Hollow Knight I have to admit I was worried about the endgame for Silksong's lil flea pups. Honestly could not be happier with where that storyline goes, though! #Awoooo!

Oof. This whole review is brutal.

Well. That didn't quite go as expected. #Silksong

Woah, wait... Credits? I guess I "beat" Silksong? But also, there's absolutely more to be done, so I'm gonna go ahead and assume that I've got a whole lot more hoops to jump through to reach the "true" ending.

"Autodesk acquires Blender Foundation"

Y'all, I thought the rosary cannon was a joke by modders! #Silksong

Off by one.

Team Cherry, probably: Hey, you know the delicate flower? You mean the most reviled side quest in Hollow Knight? Sure, what about it? What if that... But with a tight time limit? ........................BRILLIANT! #silksong

Meta's web browser now uses depth sensing for WebXR Hit Testing on Quest 3 & 3S, enabling instant mixed reality object placement without a Scene Mesh. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/quest-browse...

I have misplaced my Windows Mixed Reality headset and I am unreasonably annoyed about it.

Mozilla is going to ship WebGPU on Apple silicon Macs in November! groups.google.com/a/mozilla.or...

I feel like "nobody that you can yell at is a decision maker" is the cause of many of the frustrations of the modern world.

This was a great thread to read this morning before heading to the airport:

Recordings for all of the Slang-related sessions at this year's SIGGRAPH are now publicly available on YouTube! Check out the Slang blog for links to recordings and session materials here: shader-slang.org/blog/2025/10...

I have a problem. I've been moving my office space at home, and I moved a box labeled "Cables", which was full of cables. Then a box labeled "Adapters" which... Was full of cables. Then a box labeled "Accessories", which was full of cables. Then 3-4 unlabeled boxes which were also full of cables. 😥

Citadel bugs: "Oh, hey! Red spider lady is back! Ready for another 20 beat downs? Where have you been anyway?" Hornet: "Sidequests." *proceeds to vomit poisoned cog beetles and buzzsaws everywhere* Anyway, I finally beat the High Halls gauntlet.

Tried my hand at IRL shading. Happy with the RGB output, but unfortunately my fill rate is abysmal.

It's truly insane that it's legal to go "I'm going to spend $50 billion dollars to buy this company. Do I have $50 billion dollars? No, the company I'm buying is going to take out a big loan"

Got an email from a company saying that in keeping with their "continuing commitment to security" they were going to soon require users with "low strength passwords" to select new ones, and uh... I now feel WAY WORSE about your commitment to security than I did before I read the email.

Assembled a drum kit for the first time today. So. Many. Wingnuts! Mad respect to people who do this regularly. 🥁
