While working on spark.js, I realized that common normal map compression formats weren’t supported in popular frameworks like three.js. I added the necessary support to three.js and wrote an article to shed some light on the topic:

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.

thanks Bob! Hey @dshadoff.bsky.social :D

@retrorgb.com hey Bob, could you help me test a OSSC color conversion for the pce RGB? I had an idea a couple of days ago of doing the RGB -> Composite conversion directly on ossc so I went ahead and implemented a test. Its not final but my pce is not RGB moded yet so I need help testing it :)

I can’t speak for everyone, but my mind tends to treat writing an article, making a video, writing a song, cooking a meal, drawing an image, and, apparently, designing software the same way. It’s not a matter of just “generating” something perfect from my head, but exploring the tension that exists between what I’m imagining and the limitations of my stupid meat body. That’s actually the exciting part. It also lets me figure out if something has turned out wrong or just resulted in a happy accident. Vibe coding, like every new trend coming out of Silicon Valley, turns this process — the entire act of creativity, itself — into a slot machine. One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won’t understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you’ve done, but maybe you’ll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C’mon, just pay a bit more.

Ah ok, that makes sense. I thought initially it could be some browser or discord exploit but if it was a download the attack is less dangerous (but still dangerous). Sorry that happened to you though :( and thanks for the infos

Wait you didnt download anything? Just clicked the link and poof? Also on pc?

Fix it by replacing the joystick part with a hall effect one, ali express has plenty of them

This Brazilian woman hates AI

I hate win11 with a passio… win 10 will still get security updates for 3 years. If you enroll the extended upgrades you’ll be fine

this x100 also there is now a whole problem of SDKs that work on windows 10 but dont on windows 11 and vice versa -_-

Wow thanks!

a couple 3D aabb tricks:

gpfault.net/posts/aabb-t...

another blender mapping tip - the quickest vanilla way to call Follow Active Quads is Right Click + F in the UV panel. it lets you continue a tiling texture from active face to newly extruded walls

if the active face is not a rectangle just make it into one by running Unwrap on it first

I tried to get one but couldn't (sold out) are you opening orders in the nearby future?

I would recommend anyone to get a fenrir instead. Saroo patches games binaries and that can cause issues

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Cool, thanks! I'm used to buy lots of wires with different colors and then I have to wrap or glue them, this saves time and its prettier 😁

Hey are those rainbow colored wires bought connected or you glue them before soldering? Always wondered. If they are bought like this, what are they called?
