I was wondering why YouTube was recommending me this video.

Guess I have to watch it now. 😅

Someone wrote an article about this! stanfordmag.org/contents/gre...

But if we isolated it to just manufacturing, paper is 4g per, ceramic is 600g per.

Guess they want to do this before Valve tries the Steam Machine concept again and prints more money for Valve

Trains are nice

But does UE5 make game development easier over UE4?

I’d imagine a new version of a game development framework would refine the old and add on top of it. Not rename things just to have a “new edition” à la college textbooks

It's sadly the reason why the Bavarian Fire Drill trope exists.

I want to sit down with a level artist/designer who worked on a pretty extensive 3D game just to pick at their brain on the technical parts.

There's assumptions I can make about why things are the way they are, but it'd be nice to actually know.

I'd see this as a problem if there's still a significant effort put in at least one of those things. But I think the game is well past its time in terms of that, so you'll win either way.

Plus the Remake (at least RE1) on Steam doesn't work at the moment so that's always annoying. 🫠

Maybe I don't understand the business side of these things, but it sounds like (almost) free money for Capcom since they don't really have to do anything and they get a cut of sales from the IP license.

And it's like, what business wouldn't want that.

I was curious and dug in further. Even with cylinder casings, leaky lithium batteries still pose a fire hazard, because it's lithium.

It's a miracle they even let the average person near the element.

Also remember to dispose of lithium batteries responsibly! If they're not swollen, you can probably take them to electronics recycling. If they are swollen, you should get a dedicated disposal kit.

Every battery, as far as I know, creates gasses. It's just some battery packaging (like cylinder ones) have a relief system, but that also means they leak their guts out and takes everything out around them.

At the very least, it's an indication you shouldn't use the battery anymore.

Doing something at work using one of our web page tools and the first attempt didn't work. So I did it again to see if it'll throw an error. It did! "[object object]"

SIIIIIIIGH

This sounds like me when I thought I’d treat my cat to something nice and she immediately starts trying to “bury” it

The interesting thing is "mama" is sort of a universal word for mother, because it happens to be the easiest sound for babies to make when they first learn how to speak. At least that's the theory.

Considering how many times PRTS failed the autos I've done...

It's just... how high do you have to be to repurpose a word like that.

I wish I was that confident.

I went and see what the internet says where the term came from and...

"Andrej described it as a method of software development where a user provides natural language prompts or "vibes""

🤦

I just hate that "vibe [verb]ing" is now the term for "use an AI to do [verb]"

I don't have any games, just this app called "Wark!" which has this strange rivalry with another app "Kweh!"

I walked out of a writing gig because they wrote a pretty bad title that didn’t represent me at all.

Even knowing this, it's kind of jarring to walk to the local second hand store and seeing they have realistic looking air soft guns just out there.

Also correction, this isn't a temporal aliasing effect. Brain must've made that association because TAA is over time.

Anyway, it's still a fundamental problem because there's only so many pixels you can use to render a high-frequency pattern.

So for now, I'd rather take TAA as long as it doesn't have annoying amounts of ghosting because shimmering is more distracting to me. Which for a lot of the games I play I'd have to stop thinking about playing the game to hunt it down.

That isn't to say TAA is amazing and I'm sure there'll be someone who's anti-TAA going "this is just one scene!" but it doesn't really matter.

Either I get shimmering because it's a fundamental temporal aliasing problem or I get blurring because those pixels got blinded together to avoid it.

Here's the TAA version. There's also less haloing in some spots (if the processing didn't crunch it out of existence in the previous example)

Ran into another comment section about how modern games use TAA to blur the snot out of everything and it looks fugly.

I don't know, I find the shimmering more annoying.

The one where you do all the work and still don't get comms 🥹
