Software patents are bullshit

Man, it's still wild to me that the N64's RAM uses 9 bits ber byte instead of 8. Even if ya can't use that 9th bit directly.

So, that new year's resolution I had. It's going... Somewhat. I've improved, but a long way to go still. It ain't the end of the year, but it's worth remembering your goals.

h... horse??

(🧵 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!

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!

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.

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.
