Some people can't help but touch the hot stove every time they see some minor discourse. They make bold claims that try to neatly categorize everyone with no nuance. It's an incredible level of commitment. Whether to their own ignorance or a love of argument, I know not, but I almost admire it.

Serial Experiments Lain is one of the only anime pretty much everyone agrees should be watched on VHS.

On the one hand, I love the sweet taste of boxed cornbread. On the other hand, why are we putting cornmeal into yellow cake mix and claiming it's "bread?"

PSX art test in Godot Engine. A lot of how this model is built, textured, and shaded is heavily inspired by Spyro. All lighting is baked into vertex colors. All textures are palettized with 2 256-color palettes, 1 for the thatch and half-timber texture set and 1 for the stone set.

It's called bash scripting because it makes you want to bash your head against a wall instead of debugging it anymore. I'm sure someone has told that one before, but it's true.

Often I will get to conversations online when they're already hours old, but I notice a lot of people I follow reply to each other with in minutes. I briefly wondered why this is, but it's just because I will regularly go the better part of a day, or even multiple days without checking social media

It'd be really nice if Kwin could stop fucking crashing routinely on me, or if it could at least consistently restart when it does instead of just starting dead sometimes.

LRP, I think this is a big issue with YouTube game devs. Way too many are clearly *heavily* inspired by one game (often a Zelda game) to the point it feels like the main idea expressed by their game is "I wish I had been the one to make that game!"

Been seeing videos of Halo YouTubers talking about their experiences playing the Halo Campaign Evolved demo. Really reinforces my opinion that there are two correct types of remakes. Straight ports like many Nightdive and Aspyr ports, and complete reimaginings like FF7 Remake or Doom 2016.

if there's one thing google's AI Overview nonsense has shown me, it's that AI has no fucking clue how to use ImageMagick. Every time I search a question it very unhelpfully pops up to the top with obviously wrong lies.

It's sad how, having bought half the games industry, Microsoft is now slowly burning it all down in pursuit of profits

Part of the desire to return to the past comes from our discomfort living in a time when outcomes are uncertain. However that uncertainty is an inherent property of the present, regardless of the time. The past was also uncertain to live through. The certainty is retrospective

Sometimes I wish I could say I used Linux out of some high minded, principled stance, but actually it's just momentum. My Windows install broke when I was a teen, didn't have the money for a new one, and had bad experiences with pirated copies.

It's late and my body is craving garbage. It craves a taco bell taco party pack all to itself.

Still some artifacts I need to exorcise from my my shader, but overall I'm happy, especially for my use case, which is as a texture filter on low poly models.

trying to do a pixel art upscaler in a shader and it's just a nightmare of edge cases, literally.
