I've been trying it out with Death Stranding which hovers around 40fps with FSR2 upscaling (which introduces a huge amount of artifacts and doesn't even render rain for example).

With Lossless Scaling you only need to target 30fps so you can render at native res and generate the rest of the frames.

Someone ported Lossless Scaling's Frame Generation to Linux and it's absolutely transformational on the Steam Deck.

Lock a game to 30fps and use 2x frame generation to hit 60fps.

It works so well it feels like magic. 🤯

Playing Death Stranding for the first time and surprised how well it runs and looks on a Steam Deck. 🥰

I've got that to play next (after a suitable break).

Just finished playing Supraland (and the DLC) and doing absolutely everything.

It's probably the best puzzle game I've played since Portal. It's *that* good, and criminally overlooked.

I made a quiz about the JS Date parser is. It's very easy and you will score very high.

It's about a better technique to create grainy gradients, without the big problem that layering a noise layer brings: altering the original gradient palette (to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the approach used).

We’ve been waiting for this stuff for a while in the studio so it’s good to see it moving at pace now.

The promise that wasn’t kept AI is distracting us from creating real value. While we chase speed and automation, meaningful and human-centered work is getting left behind. Is this progress?

This is the content we need to be reading now in response to AI spreading through our industry like an illness. As Salma says, “The maths isn’t mathsing”.

Setting up redirects from 404 responses because LLMs hallunicated source URLs feels like something we really shouldn't have to be doing. 😑

I'm good thanks! I've just been very busy making things for myself, and the usual feeling like an imposter. 🙃

The trick is to agree to the call and then give the meeting invite to the next grifter who comes along. 🫣

👀 Coming to Chrome DevTools in Chrome 138: CSS Value Tracing

When you hover a --custom-prop in a `var()`, DevTools currently shows you the computed value. From Chrome 138 onwards, you can hover the `var` part to see how CSS actually got to that value.

For me it's the Discord groups you get access to via Patreon. It's impossible to keep on top of the pace they move.

It's worse than that. That's 85 hours on a Steam Deck actively playing it and not leaving it idling. 🫣

If anyone wants their decking power washed, I'll do it for free as long as you make gratifying *ding* noises.

Backend: Express / SQLite / Redis

All wrapped up with Docker and deployed to a Pi in my home that I can access anywhere via Tailscale.

It's a fun distraction but the progression is very slow. If you're looking for a clicker to play (the) Gnorp Apologue is the better game.

If I sort by playtime there's only three games I've spent more time with than Cookie Clicker. 😬

Just pretend you haven't seen how much time I've spent power washing and clicking cookies. 🫣

Just because I've not been putting out public work lately doesn't mean I haven't been keeping busy with personal projects. 👀

Here's a glimpse at my personal self-hosted web app that automatically keeps track of what I'm playing on Steam and lets me organise my library.
