Elden Ring

Hopefully, it is now extremely obvious that Europe should restart dormant nuclear power stations and increase power output of existing ones. This is *critical* to national and international security.

For those who (mistakenly) think this is a radiation risk, pick what you think is the worst location. I will travel there & eat locally grown food on TV. I did this in Japan many years ago, shortly after Fukushima. Radiation risk is much, much lower than most people believe.

Also nuclear is vastly better for global warming than burning hydrocarbons for energy

This is so on point. 😭🤣 #ELDENRING Credit: chuizigame

Richard Geldreich 🇺🇸 I can't code anything without using an internet browser to search the API documents. I don't even remember the names/syntax of many standard library APIs without googling. And I am leaning a lot of autocomplete. Whiteboard coding without these tools is not really productive.

In my terrain LOD experiments I've completely omitted the procgen part. That's the fun stuff! I could enjoy procrastinating with procgen forever! It's the "how do I spawn,unspawn,LOD and render all this without trashing the caches and stalling the GPU" that's the hard work. 🥵

Recently took a look at #ziglang (+some others). Skipped into the parts I personally care about, like MultiArrayList, great! I say skip op.overloading. But; add vec2/3/4, mat2/3/4 as proper core lang value types with math ops. I bet gfx-/gamedevs would start adopting zig FAST.

Researching open world networked physics with ”bubbles” that dynamically split/merge to satisfy constraints: 1. for each body, dist to bubble origo < some r, 2. no collisions should be missed due to bodies occupying separate bubbles. Because not enough challenges in life I guess

#unity #gamedev open space toy project. The asteroids are at 10km+, the star is 272 million km away and reachable without discontinuities ("hyperjumps" / loading screens). Based on IEEE 754 hax and SDF math, no FP precision or z-fighting problems, surprisingly few lines of code.

#ChatGPT has left the chat

#rustlang sure has made a convincing case against ever picking up #cpp again for a fresh project. At least for me it's been quite obvious; as a former c++ dev traumatized by its various footguns. Rust Foundation introduced a perspective that makes c++ look outright appealing.

Technology as a tool is great! But reducing art into "just a productivity problem" is putting the cart before the horse.

Hot take? RTO is pushed by people who don't work unless somebody is watching, and they assume everyone else is the same. WFH FTW. If your team dynamics is up to the level it should be anyway, it's a win-win on so many levels it amazes me that someone could think otherwise.

Ah yes, the familiar mechanics of scratching vinyl on-stage in an Ibiza nightclub, surrounded by a thousand horny E-heads giving it 100% #AppleVisionPro

There are three 30-minute time windows within each day during which I need to be almost completely motionless as the cat will interpret any gesture as an indication of "food time now". I am typing this with the least amount of finger motion I can muster.
