Also, if you're in town and want to chat about your Unreal projects or are looking to swap over from another engine for a project and want to sound out if that's a good idea for it or not hit me up and we can have a chat.

I'm delivering a talk alongside the wonderful @amathlog.bsky.social on Large Procedural Systems with PCG. If you're working with PCG at a large scale, come! There's a lot covered including Biome Core, Builders, Hierarchical Generation and more. All are common problems I keep chatting to Devs about!

Are you the Managing Director or.. you know.. the other one?

Managing Director is my favourite job title because it implies the existence of another Director who is just.. totally not managing right now.

Oh, cool! That's great to hear it was helpful. And, yeah, I'm always happy to have a bit of a chat with local Unreal devs. The number of features we have checkboxes for that solve minor polish issues is pretty high and missing those for submission only to find out later is.. uhh.. painful.

If you're going for this with an Unreal Engine project and you want some last-minute technical tips for polish advice, feel free to hit me up!

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

One really interesting thing that seems to be pretty consistent is that the Steam Deck has actually provided a definitive min spec for PC game developers. Historically this was a bit more vibes based for a lot of folks and it's great to see something so standardised.

The footage out of Sydney overnight is abhorrent.

Peaceful protesters set upon by an army of police, punches thrown at people with raised hands, people praying ripped from their knees.

Is this violence the social cohesion that Labor wanted?

New in UE5-Main, AccumulationDOF, A close to physically accurate DOF implementation specifically for production renders!!
And damn it works far beyond what I expected, can focus THROUGH transparencies correctly! Into Reflections, no foreground artefacts!

Bone Temple was not only great, but it somehow improved the parts of 28 Years Later that I had a beef with. Rare to see a sequel that improves the predecessor like that. Go see it!

You can write up some yellow paint posts and have full confidence they'll still be relevant until the heat death of the universe. (I can't find a gif from The Simpsons of how does it stay up with the news like that, but you get it)

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Like.. I'm not saying he hasn't because he doesn't know how to do it, but.. Ari... people are talking.

You know.. you could feed the breathing information from a metasound to the sim stage to make them sync up perfectly..

Blood and water could be done in a single pass with just one value controlling type.

You could use a sim stage for breath fog on the inside..

Oi, this is rad.

Was pretty keen to try Gears Tactics on the Legion Go as a successor for my Xcom addiction but it turns out it needs to login on launch which means you can't play it on flights. Really thought Xbox Offline Mode would've solved that, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

posted about my Apple ID woes, please share widely?

Not sure who could use this info but it turns out that Intel Connectivity Performance Suite was lowering my laptop internet speeds by 95% due to "Prioritization" being enabled and.. bad, I guess.

Yeaaaaah. The new one is a full reboot and they called it MK1.

Playing Mortal Kombat 1 and... the story mode is kind of incredible? They really just made a movie where you hang out and then play the fights every now and then as a treat. Acting and facial animation are great, effects are great.. they just.. kinda knocked it out of the park.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.

Can't help but wonder how good my Grandma would have been at visualising UV maps, given they're basically just sewing patterns.

Crazy. I’m tinkering with a small screen for VR featuring octopods. And while trying to push the interactivity they became fully physicalized using Physics Control in @unrealengine.bsky.social
Now I exchanged their movement also with forces and the result feels very believable.
(Don’t do this IRL)

These folks are lovely people. Throw them a vote. It takes like 2 seconds!
