I'm messing around with Jawset Postshot a little bit on my trip to turn videos into Gaussian Splats by remotely logging into my computer and rendering it out.

Pretty good results so far! I wanna do more and learn how to use the software better.

I signed up as fast as I could. I've been a fan of the series since I discovered it after Halo 1 came out, and the alpha was a really cool time that showed a ton of promise. I hope I can get in on Steam this time!

Fred Wood @fredtwood.com · 16h

Sorry bud, but I've been paying attention and I love seeing y'all's success. <3

Fred Wood @fredtwood.com · 16h

Also the Series S here is like $400. Ridiculous.

I don't think you can count XBox out yet but boy howdy they're having a rough time. I hope they can make some better decisions, hire some of their contractors, and make some games that the brand would be proud of.

On the other hand, Vita means life.

The PlayStation Vita shelf at Shinjuku's LABI vs the XBox display.

This is a notable retailer and all of these games are factory new.

@mikerose.bsky.social I forgot to take a picture but I was at the LABI in Shinjuku and saw Descenders on Switch. That's pretty dang neat.

Needed a lil something for the hotel to keep me busy and awake, so I put together this super basic $6 Kuuga model. It relies pretty hard on stickers and I had no tools, but it's not bad.

Fred Wood @fredtwood.com · 23h

Totally supported and got an incredible update to resolution and performance.

Fred Wood @fredtwood.com · 1d

Credit where credit due: I'm only playing it again because @liamallenmiller.bsky.social picked up a copy for me real cheap and told me to give it a try on Switch 2.

He was so right.

Fred Wood @fredtwood.com · 1d

If you have a Switch 2 it is required viewing. The update is incredible.

When walking around Tokyo with headphones on and Simple and Clean comes on you start to think about how your dreams really can come true.

It's never a bad time to play ARMS.

This has to be newish! I'm subscribed and updated and admittedly have not tried a WEBP file in a minute because of a history of wrongs.

Fred Wood @fredtwood.com · 1d

Totally, but trying to convince everyone in the world that webp is good while the industry standard doesn't support it sucks.

Adobe should fuckin' support it.

Fred Wood @fredtwood.com · 1d

WEBP is incredible and I love it and it's a net good for society but Photoshop doesn't support it so legally it isn't an image file format.

Fred Wood @fredtwood.com · 1d

Photoshop can't open it.

Fred Wood @fredtwood.com · 1d

I'm gonna make a batch script that converts a WEBP to a PNG file then deletes the WEBP file, set that as the default program for WEBP files, and I'm never going to be haunted by one again.
