Game not giving enough fps? Try writing it in assembly no team no libraries no engine just 500 000 lines of code surely you will not regret writing your game in assembly

Watch Out!

Most of the slides and course notes for the SIGGRAPH 2025 Physically Based Shading in Theory and practice course are now online, with more to follow:

Wow, this is such a cool paper! Basically with a surprisingly small modification to existing NeRF optimization, this paper gets a really good direct surface reconstruction technique that doesn't require all of the usual mess that meshing a NeRF requires (raymarching, marching cubes, etc).

this is from back in May, but while youre calling your representatives about the SCREEN act and KOSA, its worth including a mention about the 'Interstate Obscenity Definition Act' (IODA).

remember, you dont need to go into great detail, you just need to be another tally of citizens saying "no"

yucky

Went to a session on sustainability in GPU usage and that alone was worth the price of admission

"Günther Thallinger, a board member at Allianz, one of the world’s biggest insurers, recently outlined how the world is fast approaching temperature levels where insurers will no longer be able to offer cover for financial services, such as mortgages and investments."

seems problematic.

"why would they do this" for information control and to privatize the data via a crony system this is just the postsoviet russian playbook

I think that as an indie game dev without a large publisher, your target audience is not gamers in general, it is sickos.

It's hardcore sickos that will be diving the depths of your genre and finding your game, and it is sickos who will be spreading it.

Please the passionate, not the masses.

Fuckin’ sick

If you just really want to hear me explain why so many publishers are just utterly useless now, here's a talk for you.

Sunlight-activated material turns PFAS in water into harmless fluoride Researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a sunlight-activated material that can degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water, breaking down the pollutant into harmless c...

This is at least the second method discovered in the last year to help break down harmful PFAS. Given their ubiquity and significant health impacts, it would be really nice to implement some fixes sooner rather than later.

Omw to SIGGRAPH and I'm thinking about...spectral rendering

I can’t say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We don’t notice it because it’s the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.

Reminder that the measles vaccine was the most successful in history and was considered to have entirely eliminated infections until the funded anti-vax movement was fueled by RFK Jr & others to concentrate capital with more pandemics.

I think a lot of people have forgotten or were never taught in the first place that these kinds of actions need to be an endurance strategy.

If they know you'll give up in 2 days they'll just try to wait you out.

You have to make them understand that this is their life now if they don't fix things

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

I've had to rip out some work like this while rewiring. Now I can pretend to do it myself!

Be honest with yourself about what you're willing to put up with. Learn how to say no and do it way more often than you've been trained to. That feeling of "ugh, I can't deal with this" is your heart telling you that you should say no.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

this is going to be very, very unpopular
