A thing I want to try someday: game rendered purely as raymarched signed distance fields, but at like 240p to offset the massive performance cost, and then smoothed out with something like a CRT filter.
Unsurprisingly, game is absolutely gorgeous on CRT.
Downscaling from 1440p internal to 240p letterboxed. Makes the whole game look like a painterly PS1 pre-rendered background.. that you can move around in.
Freecam mod is divine. I could dine on this masterpiece forever.
Stay tuned!

Holy shit. Here is Tolkien using question mark, then em dash, then lowercase. This is officially allowed.

Top down RPGs often lack the feeling of depth, so today I spent all day sketching in random vistas on my map layouts.

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

So do videos in the @bsky.app iOS app get constantly stuck in fullscreen for anyone else?
The UI disappears and there’s nothing but video. Sometimes opening rotation lock helps, sometimes only killing the app does.
Reported it a few weeks ago, puzzled no one else is talking about it.

Apps are always asking me 'mute? block? report? don't recommend? downvote?' when the only option I want or need is "Imagine I am your grand vizier and I have yelled "ENOUGH!" without explanation."

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

I've worked on a dark/light themed site and went all-in using `light-dark()`. So far, I've thought that I can use it as a `prefers-color-scheme` replacement...
I learned that there are some differences in how they treat `color-scheme`. 👇

Was just grumbling that there’s too much negativity here. Dunkposting, telling people how to act or think, complaining about a specific person but replacing the name with “you”, etc.
And almost immediately afterwards I found myself reposting something that did basically all of those. *sigh*

star trek is about a utopian vision of the future bordering on fantasy where people someday will be able to make good choices about complicated problems by talking to each other and involving people who know about things
The thing about Star Trek is that the majority of it has the crew spending most of the episode trying to figure out, through arguing and investigating, what's the right thing to do in a complicated situation and I don't think any shows do that now? Like in a Very Special Episode but not all the time
