Ten Years of D3D12 For those of us that have been using it from the start, it can be hard to believe that Direct3D 12 has been around for nearly ten years now. Windows 10 was released on July 29th 2015, and D3D12 has be...

I've got a new blog post for all of you fine folks! It runs through the additions to D3D12 since it was released, and finishes up with some of the things that have changed for me personally in my code.

(And yes it's really been 10 years 👴).

COOL SEX TIP: if you are close to orgasm, don't say "I'm close" or "I'm gonna cum"; instead, declare riichi. this way, if they get you off, you can ron, but if you have to get yourself off, you can tsumo, indirectly indicating dissatisfaction with your partner's sexual performance

Bad News IPv4 Fans! Linus Torvalds has announced removing IPv4 support from the Linux kernel after the maintainers of the network stack got into a fight over what kind of HRT gives the best results (screenshot where Alice said HRT is best injected, Luna disagrees and calls the other a gigahon, and Linus replies, saying both are stupid and that he's dropping support for IPv4 from Linux) This incident will impact 5 billion people and will make 95% of all network equipment on earth binnable.

Email is Easy Everyone knows what an email address is, right?

I scored 13/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

I knew email was cursed, but not this cursed, wtf???

performance minded developer:

But even assuming the game was upgraded to use the newer Flip model somehow (be it thanks to the W11 feature i mentioned above or other tools), whenever DirectFlip optimizations engage depends on a bunch of factors, such as if you have Multiplane Overlays or not, and the size of the game window.

Presentation for games have a lot of nuance on Windows and can significantly affect latency.
FFXIV uses the legacy BitBlt swap effect, unless you use a third party tool or the "optimization for windowed games" feature of Windows 11, the game rendering will go through the compositor in windowed mode.

Hi there, I'm curious about some things regarding the testing:
- Was the game running in exclusive full screen or borderless/windowed mode?
- And if the game was running in windowed/borderless mode, did you have the "optimization for windowed games" feature turned on for the Windows 11 run?

OH MY FUCKING GOOOODDDDDDDDD

Fan artwork from the game Final Fantasy XIV, depicting a stampede of Yan on the M6S stage. The Yan are all LGBT+ Pride themed, having Pride flag colored horns and wool. The flags are, in the front row from left to right: Bisexual Pride, Gay Pride, Transgender Pride. Back row from left to right: Asexual Pride, Lesbian Pride, Nonbinary Pride, Intersex Pride, Gay Male Pride, Pansexual Pride. A Gimme Cat is flying above the heads of the stampeding Yan, training a sparkling rainbow of the six traditional Pride Flag colors in the style of Nyan Cat.

Happy Pride Month from the r/ffxiv Discord server! Please enjoy these Yans. Don't worry, they're friendly.

THIS IS KILLOONGME

The fan restoration mod for the port of Timesplitters 2 hidden within this game has one of the funniest features ive seen for this sort of project

Artwork of Spindle's character, Izaria, playing on a beholder-themed lute. (Imagine metal shredding but on a lute, that's Izaria's playing) while in the background in the bottom right is Asimov playing the flute. The text next to Izaria is the "band name" which is Beholders (not really a band, but don't tell that to Izaria)

Izaria jammin'

the "stop doing math" meme except it says "STOP DRIVING CARS". the meme reads: * PEOPLE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ISOLATED IN CAGES * YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for building ONE MORE LANE * Wanted to travel large distances anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "TRAINS" * "Yes please give me NO GREENERY. Please give me INFINITE PAVEMENT" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what Civil Engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the concrete and asphalt we built for them (This is REAL Civil Infrastructure, done by REAL Civil Engineers): ?

[Image of the infamous I-405 gridlock photo with tens of thousands of cars not moving] "Hello I would like [Image of a graph of global surface temperatures] climate please" They have played us for absolute fools

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

For all of 4chan's absolute garbage, there is nothing funnier in a screenshot than a wall of numbers overtop a post. "Several people are typing" wishes it could be this level of environmental storytelling.

that's what the SPUs are for, sandwich processing units
