Probably need to disable chromatic aberration for the panoramas, too. There are some hard edges I still can't quite explain though.

POLYGON - Sci-Fi Horror - Synty Studios Explore POLYGON - Sci-Fi Horror by Synty Studios. 16 panoramic views available.

I'm so in love with @synty.bsky.social 's latest pack, Sci-Fi Horror. They release the demo map with amazing post processing settings and they're using URP decals for the first time. I had to create some panoramas, go check them out! assetpanoramas.com/pack/synty-s... #gamedev #lowpoly #art #unity3d

So #BF6 didn't manage to compile shaders while I was waiting in the queue, fair enough, can't think of everything. But then it thinks I need to purchase campaign and multiplayer, redirects me back out to the EA client, and ends up in a http 500 error. #battlefail6

For some reason I kept struggling finding the #Cursor app icon quickly. It just doesn't stand out enough: the actual symbol is too small and too blurry, imho. Decided to take matters into my own hands.

I genuinely can't believe how Google Translate was completely neglected during this AI hype cycle. Nowadays I go straight to ChatGPT, not just for translation, but also because I can provide context and intention. Primary use case: "Translate to colloquial English" How could Google have missed that?

Beat Saber is abandoning PlayStation VR No new content is coming to Beat Saber on PSVR or PSVR 2

Beat Saber's farewell to PS VR reads like a love-letter to standalone headsets. As a Quest die-hard, I'm torn. Nobody likes seeing a platform dropped, yet this is the clearest signal that mobile XR has graduated from "good enough" to "primary home." www.polygon.com/gaming/60770... #quest #xr #meta

This week, Resemble AI released Chatterbox, an open source text to speech model that reportedly outperforms (outperformed?) Elevenlabs.

To use this for #indie #gamedev, I decided to build a small wrapper which allows managing own voices and projects.

Got distracted by a game jam and worked on an idea I've had in my mind for a while. Shiny object syndrome is an issue if you have to focus on other things, but right now I have the flexibility, so I embrace the flow of ideas.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

I had no idea this can be tracked natively, and now I learned why: it's series 6+ only.

I have been programming professionally for 20 years and decided to use GC2 because I would have ended up building a similar trigger/action system myself. It's solid and I like being able to edit stuff in the inspector instead of doing it on a separate canvas (like visual scripting or blueprints).
