The Unity Shaders Bible will be updated again this month. The book will reach around 180/400 pages. If you want me to include specific topics, leave them in the comments. By the way, its price might increase a bit ๐Ÿ”— jettelly.com/store/the-un...

They didn't even give the team a chance to respond to player feedback.
This industry is in a really bad place. My heart goes out to all of the affected developers :(

This feels like the texturing version of spinning around my model.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

โ€˜Itโ€™s the underground Met Gala of concrete murderzone designโ€™: welcome to the Quake Brutalist Game Jam Quake Brutalist Jam began as a celebration of old-fashioned shooter level design, but its latest version is one step away from being a game in its own right

thanks to @ricklane.bsky.social for talking to me and other modders. sorry not-sorry for the ludicrous headline quote

btw credit to @asponge.bsky.social who coined โ€œconcrete murderzonesโ€ years ago to describe QBJ1 and it stuck in my head all these years

Not hurting society, hurting their upper society of tech freaks who are heavily invested in this and don't care if the planet runs out of water because their money can buy the very last drops. Don't care if we die because they want us to be. Don't care because they believe in the singularity.

๐ŸšจHOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

What's happening in this country is vile and abhorrent. This administration and every appointee, loyalist, and sycophant who's given rise to his power deserves the worst. The lies, the scams, the family enrichment. Fucking criminals.

OK, so uake Brutalist Jam III is insanely cool. Any boomer shooter fans need to play this immediately. While based on Quake, it stands as its own thing - the architecture, level design and atmosphere are off the charts. Play it.

Greed is Destroying the World
YouTube video by Drew Gooden Greed is Destroying the World

Hot dang this video essay hits hard, is well researched, and aligns so well with what I think ails this world.

I feel that now, more than ever, solidarity of the 99% will truly be one of the few things that can fix this absolute mess of a techno feudal-ish world.

I worry that there isnโ€™t enough mentor/mentee training going on inside professional studios anymore. I donโ€™t think we understand how badly this will affect the future of studios.
I encourage you to reac out to folks youโ€™d like to learn from, send them a cold message, ask for mentorship!
