It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

I don't have the posts on hand, but I do remember seeing some issues people were having with UE and specifically the Zen Server. I'll do some browsing around to see if I can find them and let you know if I find anything.

Hmm, I can't say I'm too familiar with the Zen Server. I would say check the log files that the engine generates as it might give you a better idea of what exactly is happening. And also see if it happens with an older/newer version of UE.

Yeah I use UE5.5 on CachyOS/Arch w/ Plasma 6. Pre-compiled binary by Epic has worked the best for me, and I can't say I've experienced the same issues. What distro/desktop environment/engine version are you using?

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Disappointed in almost all areas by this municipal election. Almost all candidates across the board were uninspiring, if not regressive. Low voter turnout and asinine voting processes (thanks to the province). I can only hope that people remember this for the next provincial election.

When your graphics programmer tells you to stop simulating off-screen cloth, show them this video.

A Microsoft employee is seen standing in front of a big screen that says, "Windows 10 support ends October 14, 2025".

Windows 10 users... it’s time. The penguin is calling! 🐧

Moving onto CachyOS from Bazzite, which I moved to from NixOS. Both are great and have their place, but I've realized that I am a power user, and as such Arch is the natural place to go.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

I never managed to fall in love with Godot, somehow I skipped right over it and landed on Bevy. It still has a ways to go, but it's on such a good trajectory for the future.

“GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

(Use a ramp collider for your player capsule collision so it moves smoothly up and down stairs.

Then use a second collision channel for foot IK ray casting for stairs. This lets your feet plant correctly on the stairs.)

So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.

If true, then fucking yikes.
